Two Upgrades. One Sticker.

This trim stacks the Sport's style money on top of the hybrid's economy money. That's not a criticism โ€” it's just the thing to know before you sign.

What Sport Hybrid Adds

The Sport package, electrified.

  • The full Sport look โ€” 19-inch wheels and bronze accents, the sharpest styling in the lineup
  • The hybrid drivetrain โ€” the fuel economy your daily miles turn into real dollars
  • The Forester foundation stays: every safety system, the same AWD, all the space

The Honest Trade-Off

You're paying for style AND economy.

  • $3,135 over the gas Sport for the hybrid half โ€” that's commuter math, and it needs real daily miles to pay back
  • $3,200 over the Premium Hybrid for the style half โ€” that buys zero extra efficiency
  • If you only want one of the two halves, a cheaper trim already has it โ€” and we'll point you there

Step Down? Step Up?

Step down?

Two honest exits, depending on which half you'd drop. Keep the look, skip the battery: the gas Sport at $34,795 saves you $3,135 โ€” the right call if your commute is short, because hybrid fuel math usually doesn't pencil under 20 daily miles. Keep the battery, skip the look: Premium Hybrid at $34,730 saves you $3,200 and delivers the exact same fuel economy. Only stay here if you genuinely want both.

Step up?

Limited Hybrid at $38,995 is just $1,065 up the ladder and trades the bronze-accent style story for leather and comfort โ€” same hybrid drivetrain. For a lot of buyers standing on this rung, that's the smarter $1,065, and we'll tell you so. Above that it's Touring Hybrid at $41,545, the no-compromise ceiling.

No pressure either way โ€” we make the same honest recommendation whether you spend $29,995 or $41,545.

Every 2026 Forester Trim

Questions People Actually Ask.

The questions buyers ask right before they decide on this trim.

Is the Forester Sport Hybrid worth it?

Only if you want both halves it's selling. At $37,930 starting MSRP it stacks the Sport's style money on top of the hybrid's economy money: $3,135 over the gas Sport for the drivetrain, and $3,200 over the Premium Hybrid for the look. If you only want one of the two, a cheaper trim already has it and we'll point you there.

Forester Sport Hybrid vs Premium Hybrid โ€” what's the difference?

$3,200, and it buys zero extra efficiency. Both deliver the same 35 mpg city hybrid drivetrain. Premium Hybrid at $34,730 starting MSRP gives you the economy on the Premium's everyday kit; Sport Hybrid at $37,930 adds the 19-inch wheels and bronze accents. If the fuel math is why you're here, the cheaper one already solved it.

Should I get the Forester Sport Hybrid or the gas Sport?

Depends on your commute. The gas Sport at $34,795 starting MSRP saves you $3,135 and looks identical in the driveway. Hybrid fuel math usually doesn't pencil under 20 daily miles and usually does past 50. Short commute, keep the look and the money; long commute, the hybrid half earns its place.

Is there a better value than the Forester Sport Hybrid?

Possibly one rung up, which is an unusual thing for us to say. Limited Hybrid at $38,995 starting MSRP is just $1,065 more and trades the bronze-accent styling for leather and comfort, with the same hybrid drivetrain. For a lot of buyers standing on this rung that's the smarter $1,065, and we'd rather tell you than let you find out later.
