Driving to be Vermont's #1 Subaru Dealer
At 802 Subaru in Berlin, VT, we're proud to showcase the 2026 Subaru Forester alongside competitors like the 2026 Toyota RAV4.
While both compact SUVs serve similar purposes, the Forester stands out with features specifically designed for Vermont driving conditions and active lifestyles.
The 2026 Subaru Forester impresses with its responsive four-cylinder, 2.5-liter engine delivering 180 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque for confident acceleration in any situation. What truly sets the Forester apart is its standard symmetrical all-wheel drive system across every single trim level, ensuring you never have to pay extra for essential traction. Drivers in Montpelier, VT, will appreciate how the CVT w/Lineartronic transmission provides smooth, efficient power delivery whether navigating city streets or climbing mountain grades. Select trims like the Sport, Limited, Wilderness, and Touring feature an enhanced eight-speed manual mode for drivers who enjoy more control.
The RAV4 offers a hybrid 2.5-liter powertrain producing 183 horsepower and 163 pound-feet of torque. However, buyers from Waterbury, VT, should note that all-wheel drive isn't standard on every RAV4 trim, with several LE, SE, and XLE Premium configurations offering only front-wheel drive.
The Forester showcases a bold, purposeful exterior that commands attention while maintaining practical functionality. With fourteen available configurations, you can customize your Forester to match your exact style preferences. The upright greenhouse design provides outstanding sightlines that make parking and maneuvering effortless for drivers from Stowe, VT. The RAV4 offers its own styling across LE, SE, XLE Premium, XSE, Limited, and Woodland Edition trims, though the Forester has a distinctive appearance that continues to attract discerning shoppers.
Inside the Forester cabin, you'll discover exceptional space and thoughtful design elements that enhance every journey. Families traveling from Plainfield, VT, will appreciate generous interior room, comfortable seating for all passengers, and clever storage solutions throughout. Premium materials and refined ergonomics ensure long drives remain relaxing and enjoyable for everyone aboard.
The Forester keeps you connected and entertained with an impressive suite of modern technology features designed for today's connected lifestyle. An intuitive touchscreen infotainment system serves as your command center, offering seamless smartphone integration that puts your favorite apps, music, and contacts at your fingertips.
Voice-activated controls allow you to make adjustments without taking your hands off the wheel, while available navigation systems ensure confident exploration of unfamiliar routes. Multiple USB ports throughout the cabin keep all your devices charged and ready, and wireless connectivity options make pairing your smartphone effortless every time you start your journey.
The Forester delivers comprehensive protection through advanced safety systems that watch out for you and your passengers at every moment. Drivers from Randolph, VT, can count on pre-collision warning systems with automatic emergency braking that help you avoid potential hazards before they become dangerous situations. Lane departure warning technology maintains safe positioning on highways, while adaptive cruise control takes the stress out of long-distance travel by automatically adjusting your speed to match traffic flow.
Blind spot monitoring covers those crucial areas outside your direct view, and rear cross-traffic alert provides added confidence when backing out of parking spaces in busy lots. These driver assistance technologies work seamlessly together, making the Forester an ideal choice for safety-conscious families who prioritize protection.
Vermont terrain demands capable vehicles, and the Forester Wilderness trim rises to every challenge with enhanced ground clearance and rugged styling built for adventure. Because every Forester includes standard all-wheel drive, you receive confident traction on dirt roads, snowy highways, and muddy trails without compromise. Shoppers in Barre, VT, who embrace outdoor lifestyles will find the Forester perfectly suited for accessing trailheads, ski resorts, and remote camping destinations throughout the Green Mountain State.
While the RAV4 Woodland Edition offers its own adventure-ready features, the legendary capability of Forester and standard all-wheel drive make it the superior choice for exploring everything Vermont has to offer.
