- FIRST LOOK: The Forester finally has a hybrid model from Subaru. On the outside you will discover 19in wheels, unique front fascia and new 2-tone paint. On the inside you will be greeted by a new 12.3in digital gauge cluster, 11.6in infotainment screen size and sunroof. Under the hood is a 2.5L flat-4 pared with (2) electric motors. Is the 2026 Subaru Forester Hybrid a BETTER compact SUV than a Toyota RAV4 Hybrid?

Congratulations on adopting a dog 🐶. You both will enjoy it. Now you have to buy this beautiful Forester. It's stunning 😊
Fuel sipping Forester, I like that.
Agreed, and that Subaru-specific eCVT works really well! And for the love of Subaru or any other brand, please leave all CVTs (regardless of brand) alone.
I’m so glad that I could share it with you
Welcome back to Chicago Joe! Hope the weather has been kind and get some deep dish.
Love ur videos Joe!
Thanks for taking that time to say that!
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👌
I am glad that we can share all of these with you!
Joe, this Hybrid SUV is extremely more efficient than any gas guzzling truck because it's a Hybrid, but better than a regular truck
Omg I knew you were at the Chicago auto show I plan on going myself
That is so awesome to hear
I think I would buy a Forester over the Rav 4. I owned a Forester and was impressed with its toughness. I like that they give you a place to store an emergency Twinkie.
Thanks for sharing your choice!
Beautiful Forester Hybrid! I can't wait to see how that Subaru-specific eCVT works on this Forester!
I totally agree with you
Love from Chicago! Wish I was there!
The hybrid engine comes in all trims? Or is a trim itself?
There will be Forester ICE & Forester Hybrid. Then different trims of each
Beautiful car ❤❤❤❤❤
Subaru sure loves their black cladding Joe.
Looks better than last version. 👍
It’s like pb & j
The front looks sporty but the back looks smushed in
Joe make sure you do a video of your new dog. Maybe show him/her at the next Live Q &A
Will do my friend! Stay tuned!
The forester has been around for a long time
You can say that again
@ yes sir
Joe, if you have $50,000 budget for a fun car, what would you get.
Nissan Z
Hey Joe! Hope the Chicago Auto Show was more exciting than Detroit, and hopefully, they didn't kick ya out early, lol 😆
It went much better!
this uses a longitudinal version of the power split trans in hybrid toyotas... the only issue i have with this setup is the flat 4... having it turning on and off all the time in a hybrid im not sure it will last as long as an I4 engine.
We will see how the first drive gowz
I've never driven a Forester, but I have driven a few RAV4s. I might drive a Subie one day if I'm looking for that kind of vehicle.
I would give it a chance for sure David
The new Subaru Rav4 looks good! 😂
I see what you did there
Subaru hybrid is better in comfort, outward visibility, and is slightly lower in price than the Honda CRV. However, I like the interface and where the screen sits in the new forester better than the CRV. That’s just me though.
its like anywhere joe goes hes making a car review video
Gotta make the magic happening
I was waiting for the trunk floor reveal. Glad to see thry got the interior deck to be level. Assuming there is no full size or donut spare there?
Just a repair kit. The battery takes up spare tire space.
200hp range... it's okay... wished that Forester would get 220hp or even 240hp compared to crosstrek hybrid. I think crosstrek hybrid is the real deal here and Subaru kinda missed the mark with the Forester so that... Outback might keep it's market share? I dunno but overall boost in power would be lovely for all Subies these days.
Great review as always, unfortunately for the Forester the designers were asleep. It looks like an ugly knock of Explorer.
Viva the Subaru Forester Hybrid! Plz reply
I’m so glad that you like this one Luis
@@RaitisRides Yes I do love it
For me, a third of the cargo space will be taken up by the spare tire.
It’s a 2025, not a 2026!
Good call
Ty means thank you
The 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid vs The 2025 Audi Q5 Hybrid
Looks like the 5th generation explorer
I’m not seeing it at all
Is there a spare tire…
No, the battery pack is where the spare tire should be.
There aren't enough dogs in Tampa to choose from?
No there are not
❤️❤️🤎
You are the man Jimmy
Naturally aspirated V8 please.
You’ll have to buy a Mustang for that 😅
Hey, Joe the forester looks good, however I would pick the Toyota.😊😊😊.
Nothing wrong with that Dejon
😂
I know it is not for everyone.
I still go for Toyota hybrid
I owned a 2015 Forester.
I would never buy one of these over a CR-V.
First!!!
Thanks Joe for tuning in
First
Thanks for your dedication
Underneath is basically a RAV4 same engine and everything.
Actually you are so wrong
@@RaitisRides Opps... I mixed this up with the 2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid.
WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE BETTER THAN A RAV4🤬🤬🤬🤬
Because maybe it is
No Need To Angry Bro
Because it’s RaitisRides channel, that’s why! 😂
*If I was a single lesbian in her 40s with 9 cats, I might go for a Subaru*
😆
I work in construction. I want to buy a Subaru because of their reliability and resell value.

35 mpg, lame
