Expert Analysis

Our verdict, ratings by area, and what stands out.

7.0

Good

3.5 / 5

The 2026 Forester 2.0i-S Premium trades outright power for Nepal-specific strengths. Its 220 mm ground clearance outclasses the Tiguan, Compass and Corolla Cross on broken roads, while Symmetrical AWD and CVT handle hills and traffic smoothly. The 5-star NCAP score and EyeSight 4.0 ADAS deliver top safety, and 10.7 kmpl hybrid efficiency cuts running costs. However, 150 bhp feels sluggish against peers offering 170-255 bhp, and Rs 1.60 crore pricing sits high despite strong practicality and equipment.

Choose the Forester if you prioritise ground clearance, safety technology and hybrid efficiency over outright performance, and can accept limited service reach.
