The new Subaru Forester — but not the hybrid? Subscribe here: www.youtube.com/@therightcar?sub_confirmation=1
I’ve done a fair bit of coverage of the 2026 Subaru Forester already:
Hybrid launch review including off-road – https://youtu.be/Y4IDGN6k404
Hybrid real-world fuel use test – https://youtu.be/J4FdVZwtYjY
And here’s what I’ve done this time: I’ve driven the tried and tested petrol version to see how it goes. And I really, really liked it.
Watch on to see a comparison between the fuel use numbers of the petrol and the Strong Hybrid (HEV) version, and tell me if you think it’s worth the extra money to buy the hybrid, or not…!

I am aiming to review every new car on the market that people actually buy, to help new-car customers like you, or curious car enthusiasts (maybe also like you) get the right steer when it comes to choosing a new set of wheels.
If you’re looking for a car for yourself, monitoring the market and hunting for the latest info, or even if you’ve just bought your new car and you’re looking to see what experts like me think about it, The Right Car will offer you something of value.
