At Giles Subaru, we're excited to showcase the capable and well-equipped Subaru Forester.

This compact Subaru SUV is ready for all your adventures -- whether you're commuting around Youngsville or exploring trails outside of Alexandria. With standard symmetrical all-wheel drive, ample ground clearance, and a spacious, versatile interior, the 2026 Subaru Forester is designed to take you further.

Forester

Start with the base model Forester from Subaru. It's available at a low starting price and gets an estimated 26 mpg in the city and 33 on the highway. Thanks to symmetrical AWD, you don't need to worry about getting over hazards on the road or when you hit the trail. EyeSight Driver Assist Technology from Subaru gives you more control over your SUV because it helps you keep an eye on anything around your Forester. With 76.1 cubic feet of storage, the base model has space for all your camping gear.

Forester Premium

If you want to turn heads when driving around New Iberia, consider the Subaru Premium. It comes with STARLINK from Subaru, including all the safety and security features you need. The sliding moonroof is easy to use and provides panoramic views at all angles. With 17-inch alloy wheels, the Forester Premium will turn heads on off-road adventures and the highways around Opelousas. You'll like the 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat and the keyless start with a push-button. The Forster Premium is also available in an all-weather package that includes seat heaters with a powered liftgate at the rear.

Forster Wilderness

Nothing will stand in your way when you're in the Forester Wilderness. Subaru added Wilderness badges to several of its top vehicles in recent years. The 2024 Forester Wilderness comes in a matte black finish that hides dirt on your trips and all-terrain tires that help you get over the muddiest of paths. A full-size wheel is included and set in an out-of-way area in the cargo hold. With Dual-Function X-Mode, you only need to press one button to get the power and traction. This mode helps you move through snow and mud without missing a beat. Subaru also changed the attached roof rails to give you more storage when driving around Alexandria.

Forester Touring

If you spend more time on the road, you might prefer the Touring model. The Forester Touring comes with 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels that reflect off the paint to catch the eye of anyone nearby and AWD to help you on all roads. LED fog lights come on automatically to cut through the dense fog around you and help you avoid accidents. You also get a premium audio system from Harman Kardon and an eight-way adjustable driver's seat when running around Lake Charles in the new Forester Touring.

Subaru Forester Limited

Another hot Forester is the Limited option. Though it costs a little more, it's well worth the price, thanks to great features like DriverFocus. This driver mitigation system helps you stay alert and avoid distractions on Lafayette roads. You also get STARLINK that helps you stay safe, which you can access via the infotainment system on the dash.
