About The 2026 Subaru Forester Lease
The 2026 Subaru Forester is advertised at $279 a month for 36 months on the Base trim (MSRP $31,445), with $4,278 due at signing and 10,000 miles a year. The Forester starts at $29,995 MSRP with a dealer invoice of about $28,167 for the Base. It's offered in 10 trims: Base ($29,995), Premium ($31,995), Premium Hybrid ($34,730), Sport ($34,795), Limited ($35,995), Wilderness ($36,995), Sport Hybrid ($37,930), Limited Hybrid ($38,995), Touring ($39,995), Touring Hybrid ($41,545). Advertised lease payments assume a selling price near MSRP, so negotiating the price toward invoice lowers your payment. Closing the full $1,828 gap would cut about $51 a month.

Actual payments depend on residual value, money factor, incentives, credit approval, and dealer pricing, and exclude taxes and fees.
