2021 Subaru Forester Premium: The Ultimate Suburban Companion for Mid-South Families

Imagine starting your morning in the quiet, tree-lined streets of Germantown, TN, where the pace of life feels just a bit more intentional. You load your gym bag and a few groceries into the back of a vehicle designed specifically to handle the rhythm of suburban life without missing a beat. The 2021 Subaru Forester Premium is more than just a crossover; it is a tool for navigating the complexities of a busy schedule, whether you are heading to a local park or preparing for a weekend away.

For those who call the beautiful neighborhoods of Collierville, TN, home, this vehicle offers the perfect balance of sophistication and rugged utility. It fits as naturally in a school pickup line as it does parked outside a local boutique or trailhead. The Forester has long been celebrated for its visibility and ease of use, making it a favorite for drivers who value a stress-free experience behind the wheel. Every inch of this Sport Utility is engineered to provide a sense of confidence and calm, ensuring that no matter where your day takes you, you arrive feeling refreshed and ready for what is next.

Performance and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive Capability

At the heart of this 2021 Subaru Forester Premium is a 2.5L H-4 gasoline direct injection engine. This DOHC, variable valve control powerplant delivers a balanced 182HP, providing plenty of spirit for merging onto the interstate or navigating suburban thoroughfares. Because this engine features an Aluminum engine block and an H4 configuration, it sits lower in the chassis, contributing to a more stable and planted feel during cornering. This is paired with a smooth Automatic CVT featuring Lock-up transmission and Overdrive, which helps the vehicle achieve an impressive 33 MPG on the highway and 26 MPG in the city.

Whether your daily commute involves the steady trek from Olive Branch, MS, or navigating the varied terrain of the surrounding counties, the All Wheel Drive system is always active. Unlike many crossovers that only engage the rear wheels when a slip is detected, Subarus full-time system provides continuous power to all four wheels for maximum traction. To further tailor your driving experience, the SI-DRIVE driver selectable drivetrain mode allows you to choose between Intelligent mode for fuel efficiency and Sport mode for more immediate throttle response. The Independent front suspension with struts and the Double wishbone rear suspension work in harmony to soak up road imperfections, ensuring that your drive remains composed and comfortable regardless of the road surface.

Advanced Technology and Seamless Connectivity

Modern life requires staying connected, and the Forester Premium makes it effortless with a suite of integrated technologies. The center of the dashboard features a 6.5 inch primary display with a responsive Primary monitor touchscreen. This system serves as the hub for Smart device integration, featuring STARLINK/Apple CarPlay/Android Auto mirroring. By simply plugging in your compatible smartphone, you can access your favorite navigation apps, music playlists, and hands-free communication tools directly through the vehicles interface.

Drivers will appreciate the Handsfree Bluetooth® handsfree wireless device connectivity and Wireless streaming Bluetooth® wireless audio streaming, which allow for a cord-free experience when desired. The Voice activated audio controls ensure that you can change the station or adjust settings without taking your eyes off the road. For keeping devices charged and ready, there are 2 USB ports conveniently located in the cabin. Information is always front and center thanks to the Digital/analog instrumentation display and a 4.20 inch gauge cluster display, while the Outside temperature display keeps you informed of the changing Mid-South weather.

Interior Comfort and Versatile Cabin Design

The interior of the 2021 Subaru Forester Premium is finished in a refined Black color scheme with high-quality Cloth front seat upholstery. The driver is treated to an 8-way directional power seat that includes 2-way power lumbar support, making it easy to find the perfect position for long drives. When the morning air has a chill, the Heated front seats and Heated door mirrors provide immediate relief, while the Heated windshield wiper park ensures your visibility is never compromised by frost or ice.

Passengers in the second row are not forgotten, with Rear under seat climate control ducts and Rear console climate control ducts to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the cabin. The Power moonroof: Panoramic is a standout feature, stretching over both rows of seating to flood the interior with natural light and provide an airy, open feeling. For those who need to haul gear, the 60-40 folding rear seats and Cargo tray offer incredible flexibility. This vehicle also includes the Popular Package #1, which adds All-Weather Floor Liners and an Auto-Dimming Mirror w/Compass & HomeLink, perfect for the active lifestyles found throughout the region.

Safety Systems and Driver Assistance

Subaru is synonymous with safety, and this Forester is equipped with a comprehensive suite of protective technologies. The EyeSight Adaptive Cruise Control and EyeSight Lane Keep Assist act as an extra set of eyes on the road, helping to maintain a safe distance from traffic and keeping you centered in your lane. The EyeSight Pre-Collision Braking system provides forward collision mitigation and pedestrian impact prevention, while EyeSight Pre-Collision Throttle Management can reduce engine power to help minimize impact force in certain situations.

The vehicles structural safety is bolstered by 7 airbags, including a Driver side knee airbag and Curtain first and second-row overhead airbags. For parking in tight suburban spots, the Exterior Parking Camera Rear features a dedicated washer to ensure a clear view even in rainy weather. The inclusion of STARLINK Safety and Security (subscription required) provides peace of mind with features like an Emergency SOS system, Vehicle tracker, and Restricted driving mode/alerts. These systems work together to create a protective bubble around you and your passengers, making every trip more secure.

Exterior Design and Functional Styling

Dressed in a sophisticated Magnetite Gray Metallic, the 2021 Subaru Forester Premium strikes a handsome profile. The exterior design is both functional and stylish, featuring 17 x 7-inch machined w/painted accents aluminum wheels and a Grille with chrome bar. The Roof rails provide a sturdy foundation for mounting bike racks or cargo carriers, extending the vehicles utility for weekend adventures. LED low and high beam headlights with Auto-leveling and Directionally adaptive technology ensure that the path ahead is brilliantly illuminated, even around dark corners.

The Rear Spoiler and body-colored bumpers give the Forester a cohesive, modern look, while the Black bodyside cladding and Black wheel well trim offer protection against road debris. Functional touches like the Rear Bumper Cover protect the paint during loading and unloading, and the Deep tinted windows provide privacy and heat reduction for the interior. The Auto-Dimming Exterior Mirror w/Approach Lighting adds a touch of luxury and safety when approaching the vehicle at night.
