These are the top five things you need to know about the new 2027 Subaru Forester Wilderness.#1.

Paired with 17-inch wheels wrapped in Yokohama Geolandar all-terrain tires, the 2027 model boasts improved approach and departure angles.

But the secret off-road sauce is the revised CVT. Subaru shortened the final drive ratio specifically for the Wilderness trim. This gives you better low-speed climbing power when things get technical. Plus, it's rated to tow up to 3,500 pounds.#3: Exterior Upgrades that Actually Matter.Whether the tough, body cladding and copper accents make the Wilderness trim look better is up for debate, but those accents highlight functional upgrades, like 4 towing access points and reinforced roof rails, which can now support up to 800 lbs while parked.5 things you need to know 2027 subaru forester wilderness hybrid#4: An Adventure-Proof Interior.Step inside, and it feels thoroughly modern with same massive 11.6-inch infotainment screen, but with a new 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.
