The 2027 Subaru Forester Wilderness Hybrid brings something new to the Wilderness lineup: hybrid efficiency without sacrificing off-road capability. It delivers up to 25 percent better fuel economy than the standard Subaru Forester Wilderness, making it the most efficient Wilderness model Subaru has ever built. Freehold Subaru has all the details, and this one is worth knowing inside and out.
Powertrain and Performance
The heart of the 2027 Subaru Forester Wilderness Hybrid is a 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER® engine paired with a high-capacity lithium-ion battery and electric motors in a series-parallel hybrid configuration. Total system output reaches 194 horsepower, up from 180 horsepower in the standard Subaru Forester Wilderness. A Lineartronic® CVT keeps the system running efficiently across all terrain types.
What sets this new Subaru hybrid apart from competitors is what powers all four wheels. Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive® maintains a mechanical connection between the front and rear axles rather than relying solely on electric motor distribution, giving this model the trailblazing capability the Wilderness lineup is known for.
Off-Roading Features
The 2027 Subaru Forester Wilderness Hybrid comes standard with a plethora of other off-roading features to handle rough terrain. They include:
- 9.3 inches of ground clearance, raised from 8.7 inches in the standard Forester Hybrid through longer coil springs and retuned shock absorbers
- X-MODE® Dual-Mode System with Hill Descent Control featuring Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud settings
- Yokohama Geolandar® all-terrain tires on 17-inch matte black Wilderness-exclusive wheels
- Improved approach (23.5 degrees), breakover (20.6 degrees), and departure (25.5 degrees) angles versus the standard Subaru Forester Hybrid
- Raised roof rails with an 800-lb static load capacity
Technology and Interior
The cabin is well-equipped for both adventure and everyday life. An 11.6-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster with Apple Maps™ integration, and a Harman Kardon® 11-speaker audio system come standard. Weather-resistant StarTex® seating surfaces and all-weather floor mats keep the interior trail-ready, while up to 69 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded means no space is lost to hybrid components. EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology is also standard on every model.
