The Subaru Forester e-Boxer Hybrid (2026) arrives as a compelling fusion of rugged capability and electrified efficiency, purpose-built for the modern Filipino family. This midsize crossover SUV delivers a commanding presence while keeping fuel economy and everyday practicality at the forefront.

Under the hood, a 2,498cc inline-4 naturally aspirated engine pairs with a hybrid system to produce 283 PS and a robust 485 Nm of torque. Power flows through a CVT and Subaru’s legendary Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, ensuring confident traction on both city streets and occasional off-road adventures. The unibody construction and MacPherson strut front / multi-link rear suspension deliver a composed ride, while the 19-inch wheels wrapped in 235/50R19 tires provide a planted stance.

  • Practical Dimensions: With a 4,665mm length, 1,830mm width, and 1,730mm height, this 5-seater offers generous space for family and cargo, plus a 63-liter fuel tank for longer trips.
  • Peace of Mind: Backed by a 5-year or 100,000-km warranty, plus engine immobilizer and security alarm for added safety.

At a price in the Philippines of ₱2,498,000, the Subaru Forester e-Boxer Hybrid (2026) is an ideal choice for drivers who demand both eco-friendly credentials and the go-anywhere capability Subaru is known for.
