The 2026 Subaru Forester debuts a striking new exterior language. The most notable
change is the refreshed front fascia, featuring a more prominent, hexagonal grille and
redesigned LED headlights that provide a piercing gaze. These elements don’t just look
better; they improve airflow and cooling efficiency. The body lines have been smoothed
to enhance aerodynamics, reducing wind noise during high-speed travel on Highway 270,
creating a serene environment inside the cabin. Inside, the cabin has undergone a
premium transformation. Subaru engineers have focused heavily on ‘tactile quality’—the
feel of the materials you touch every day. You’ll find softer surfaces, more
supportive seating architecture designed to reduce fatigue, and a layout that
prioritizes ergonomics. For Sunset Hills families, this means a vehicle that handles
the grocery run and the cross-state road trip with equal grace. If you’re eager to see

The tried-and-true 2.5L naturally aspirated engine remains the backbone for many,
offering balanced power and a low center of gravity for superior handling.

The new hybrid system integrates dual electric motors to assist the gas engine,
providing smoother stop-start transitions and improved low-end responsiveness.

Standard on all models, the AWD system is optimized to manage the unique torque
delivery of the hybrid system, ensuring traction in all Missouri weather.

Safety is the core of the Subaru DNA, and the 2026 Forester features the most
sophisticated version of EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology to date. With a wider
field of view and updated software, the system can identify cyclists and pedestrians
at intersections more quickly, providing an extra layer of protection for Sunset Hills
residents. This is especially vital when navigating the heavy traffic around Watson
Road during school pick-up hours. Complementing the safety tech is the standard
11.6-inch STARLINK® Multimedia system. The high-resolution touchscreen acts as the
command center for your vehicle, offering wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™
integration. Whether you’re searching for a new restaurant in St. Louis or checking
the weather for a trip to the park, the interface is intuitive and lightning-fast. To
