Subaru Forester Hybrid Highlights
The Subaru Forester Hybrid combines the practicality of the standard Forester with greater efficiency. It delivers 194 horsepower with 35 miles per gallon in combined fuel economy. The 1.1-kilowatt-hour hybrid battery system automatically switches power between the battery or engine, depending on the situation.
Standard all-wheel drive (AWD) and 8.7 inches of ground clearance allow you to handle winter weather and light off-road driving. Hooksett area drivers will appreciate the sure-footed handling in snow or muddy conditions.
Forester Wilderness Capabilities
Prefer adventures off the beaten path? The rugged Subaru Forester Wilderness is engineered for even more off-road capability. Upgrades like all-terrain tires, elevated 9.2-inch ground clearance, and fortified roof rails make it easy to explore the forests and trails around Tilton.

The Lineartronic® CVT features an eight-speed manual mode for greater control over challenging terrain you may encounter near Laconia.
