New Subaru Forester for Sale near Cedar Rapids, IA
The redesigned 2026 Subaru Forester Wilderness continues to travel where few crossover SUVs can.
To create the 2026 Forester Wilderness, Subaru adds all-terrain tires, increased ground clearance, and improved angles of approach, breakover, and departure. Drivetrain modifications enhance traction, added underbody protection prevents damage when off-roading, and a full-size all-terrain spare tire is ready when you need it. Styling changes convey this model’s rugged capabilities, and Subaru outfits the interior for easy clean-up. All 2026 Forester models get a new center console design and updated protection for rear passengers in a collision.
Verdict: Push the new 2026 Forester Wilderness to its limits, and you’ll be impressed by its off-roading capability. But, even if you’re not planning to traverse challenging terrain, it is comforting to know that the Wilderness offers more competence than a typical crossover SUV when confronted with unexpected situations.

What people say
An excellent auto and a great value for the money!
Im a big guy (62) and I really like the headroom. We currently own an Outback and that car would have been more practical (towing). However, I feel more upright in my Forester instead of reclined in the Outback.
Love the visibility in the Forester, the safety features and the comfortable, quiet ride. Also, the resale value forced us to buy new as the new prices were not that much higher than late model used.
Solid drive and comfortable ride. Reasonable value. More acceleration power is always welcome to have… but as it is, it’s already sufficient power for my needs. I’ve test driven RAV4 hybrid, CRV, CX5 and Sportage. Except for the overpriced RAV4 hybrid, the rest of the cars i tested didn’t fare well with me.
This is my first Subaru purchase. I decided on it after driving my husbands 2022 Forester. I absolutely love this car. It is a smooth ride and the safety features are great! Seats are comfortable and theres plenty of room! Its also got great pickup, which is something that was lacking from other similar cars I tested. Highly recommend this vehicle!
