The 2026 Subaru Forester delivers standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, an EPA-estimated 33 mpg highway, 8.7 inches of ground clearance, and about 111 cubic feet of passenger volume at a starting MSRP of $29,995. By comparison, the 2026 Honda CR-V comes standard with front-wheel drive, offers 106 cubic feet of passenger volume, and requires an added cost to upgrade to all-wheel drive. Across all trims, the Forester offers superior all-weather capability, greater interior passenger headroom, and higher standard ground clearance for daily New England driving.
