Now Available in Juneau, AK
Four Forester Hybrid trims, all with Symmetrical AWD and a gas-electric system built to stretch every tank further, which matters on a road system where the nearest gas station might be a ferry ride away. Compare Sport, Premium, Touring, and Limited Hybrid below.
The Subaru Forester Hybrid comes in four trims: Sport, Premium, Touring, and Limited. Every trim pairs Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive with a gas-electric hybrid system, so the difference between them comes down to comfort and technology, not fuel efficiency or capability. Here's how they compare.
The Forester Hybrid pairs a gas engine with an electric motor, which gets meaningfully better fuel economy than the standard gas Forester without ever needing a charging cord, it recharges on its own through the engine and regenerative braking. That matters on the drive out to Douglas or up toward Eaglecrest just as much as it does on the highway.

| Trim | Best For | Key Features | Standout |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sport Hybrid | Efficiency with a sportier look | AWD, hybrid powertrain, sport styling | Entry point to the hybrid lineup |
| Premium Hybrid | Most everyday hybrid buyers | Added comfort and convenience tech | Balanced choice |
| Touring Hybrid | Buyers who want the fullest package | Leather-trimmed seating, top tech package | Top of the hybrid lineup |
| Limited Hybrid | Upscale cabin without every top-tier feature | Leather-trimmed seating, upscale styling | Just below Touring Hybrid |
These two sit right next to each other at the top of the hybrid lineup. Touring Hybrid gets Forester Hybrid's fullest technology package on top of the leather-trimmed seating both trims share. Limited Hybrid offers that same upscale leather-trimmed cabin one step down, without every top-tier feature Touring includes. If you want the complete package, Touring is the trim. If you want most of that experience without reaching for the top of the lineup, Limited Hybrid covers it well.

It comes down to how much driving you do. If you're regularly putting on miles between Juneau and the rest of the road system, or just want to spend less time thinking about fuel stops, the hybrid's efficiency advantage adds up. If your driving is mostly short trips around town, the standard Forester covers that just as well.
Touring Hybrid includes Forester Hybrid's fullest technology package. Limited Hybrid offers the same leather-trimmed, upscale cabin one step down, without every top-tier feature Touring includes.
