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.
