What Are the 2026 Subaru Forester Hybrid Performance Specs?
There's plenty to look forward to with the new Subaru Forester Hybrid for sale, and it starts under the hood.

Subaru Forester Hybrid Customer Review

Yeon in Sales was a great to work with and he made the car buying process smooth and fast. He was very transparent and not pushy. There were no additional hidden fees or charges, so the OTD was just the car price, government fees, and taxes. We negotiated with no problems and Yeon did a great job helping us out with the payment process.
The dealership offered additional packages for added fees, but were very respectful of my decision saying "no". I'm very happy with my experience and purchase of a Subaru Forester from Muller.
