Performance and Capability for Every Journey

Under the hood of this 2021 Subaru Forester Touring lies a robust 2.5L H-4 gasoline direct injection, DOHC, variable valve control engine that delivers a balanced 182HP. This powerplant is designed for efficiency and longevity, utilizing an Aluminum engine block and a Longitudinal mounted engine configuration to optimize balance and handling. When you are making the trek from Tupelo, MS for a weekend visit, you will appreciate the smooth power delivery of the 7-speed Lineartronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). This transmission features Transmission electronic control and Lock-up transmission capabilities to ensure that engine power is used effectively, whether you are merging onto the highway or cruising through local traffic.

The legendary Subaru All Wheel Drive system is a standard feature, providing Full-time AWD that constantly monitors road conditions to distribute power where it is needed most. This is particularly useful when navigating the varying terrain around Rossville, TN, where backroads can sometimes be unpredictable. To further enhance your driving experience, the SI-DRIVE selectable mode transmission allows you to choose between different performance characteristics, tailoring the engine and transmission response to suit your mood or the environment. The Auto stop-start engine feature helps conserve fuel during frequent stops in city traffic, contributing to an impressive 26 city MPG and 33 hwy MPG.

The mechanical foundation of this crossover is built for comfort, featuring an Independent front suspension with a Strut front suspension design and an Independent rear suspension utilizing a Double wishbone rear suspension setup. This combination ensures that bumps and dips in the road are absorbed with ease, maintaining a composed ride for all passengers. With Speed sensitive power steering and Active Torque Vectoring brake actuated limited slip differential, the Forester Touring remains agile and responsive, making it just as capable in a tight parking garage as it is on a winding country road.

Advanced Technology and Seamless Connectivity

In the modern era, staying connected is a necessity, and the 2021 Subaru Forester Touring delivers with a comprehensive suite of tech features. The centerpiece of the cabin is the 8 inch primary display which serves as the hub for the Subaru Starlink 8.0 Multimedia Nav System. This Primary monitor touchscreen is intuitive and responsive, offering Smart device integration through STARLINK/Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. Whether you need to access your favorite playlists or find the quickest route through Memphis, TN, the Integrated navigation system with voice activation ensures you stay on track without taking your eyes off the road.

Audio enthusiasts will be delighted by the Premium audio system: harman/kardon, which features a 576W amplifier and 9 Speakers. This system provides crystal-clear sound quality, turning every drive into a concert-like experience. For those who prefer variety, the AM/FM/digital/SiriusXM satellite radio offers endless entertainment options, while Bluetooth® wireless audio streaming and 4 USB ports ensure that everyones devices stay charged and connected. The Digital/analog instrumentation display includes a 4.20 inch gauge cluster display, providing vital vehicle information at a glance, including an ECO feedback display gauge to help you drive more efficiently.

The technology extends to convenience as well, with Voice activated audio controls and Steering wheel mounted audio controls that allow you to manage your environment effortlessly. The Handsfree Bluetooth® handsfree wireless device connectivity makes it easy to take calls on the go, while the Exterior temperature display keeps you informed of the changing weather conditions outside. With SiriusXM Traffic and SiriusXM Travel Link capabilities, you can receive real-time updates on road conditions and weather forecasts, ensuring you are always prepared for the journey ahead.

Premium Comfort and Sophisticated Interior

Step inside the 2021 Subaru Forester Touring and you are greeted by a cabin that defines luxury in the crossover segment. The Black Perforated Leather-Trimmed Upholstery provides a sophisticated look and feel, complemented by Leatherette door trim inserts and Chrome and metal-look interior accents. The Power driver seat features 8-way directional controls and 2-way power lumbar support, while the Power passenger seat also offers 8-way directional controls, ensuring that both the driver and front passenger can find their perfect seating position. For those chilly mornings, the Heated front seats and Heated rear seats provide immediate warmth for everyone on board.

The interior environment is further enhanced by the Dual-zone front climate control and Voice-activated climate control, allowing for personalized temperature settings. The Heated steering wheel is a welcome addition during the winter months, while the Power moonroof: Panoramic floods the cabin with natural light, creating an airy and open feel. When it comes to utility, the Power liftgate rear cargo door provides easy access to the spacious cargo area, which includes a Roll-up cargo cover, Cargo tie downs, and a Vinyl/rubber cargo mat to protect the interior. The 60-40 folding rear seats and Manual reclining rear seats offer flexible configurations for passengers and gear alike.

Attention to detail is evident throughout the cabin, from the Leather and metal-look gear shifter material to the Fade interior courtesy lights. The Memory settings are particularly impressive, storing preferences for the door mirrors and climate controls for up to five different drivers. Additional conveniences include Remote activated perimeter approach lighting with puddle lights, 12V power outlets, and Seatback storage pockets. Whether you are commuting daily or heading out for a long trip, the Forester Touring ensures that every occupant travels in a space that feels both premium and functional.

Safety and Driver Assistance Technology

Subaru has long been a leader in automotive safety, and the 2021 Forester Touring is a testament to that commitment. This vehicle is equipped with the EyeSight Adaptive Cruise Control system, which uses advanced sensors to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. The EyeSight Lane Keep Assist and Lane Departure Warning systems provide gentle steering corrections to help keep you centered in your lane, while Blind Spot Detection (BSD) and Cross-Traffic Alert provide an extra set of eyes when changing lanes or backing out of a driveway.

For peace of mind in the city, the EyeSight Pre-Collision Braking system offers forward collision mitigation and pedestrian impact prevention, while Reverse Automatic Braking provides collision mitigation when moving in reverse. The DriverFocus driver monitoring system is a standout feature, using Facial memory recognition to identify signs of driver fatigue or distraction and providing alerts to keep you focused on the road. The vehicle also features 7 airbags, including a Driver side knee airbag and Curtain first and second-row overhead airbags, ensuring comprehensive protection in the event of an impact.

The mechanical safety features are equally robust, including 4-wheel antilock (ABS) brakes, Brake assist, and Electronic stability control. The Active Torque Vectoring system works in tandem with the AWD to improve cornering stability, while Trailer sway control provides added confidence if you ever need to tow. With LED brake lights, Auto high-beam headlights, and Directionally adaptive headlights, visibility is optimized in all conditions. The Rear camera with washer ensures a clear view of what is behind you, making parking and maneuvering in tight spaces easier than ever.

Exterior Design and Visual Appeal

The exterior of the 2021 Subaru Forester Touring is finished in a stunning Crystal White Pearl, a color that highlights the vehicle's clean lines and modern silhouette. The 18 x 7-inch machined w/painted accents aluminum wheels provide a bold stance, while the Chrome grille and Metal-look front and rear bumper inserts add a touch of elegance. The Rear lip spoiler and Body-colored bumpers contribute to an aerodynamic profile, while the Black bodyside cladding and Black wheel well trim offer protection against road debris and give the vehicle a rugged, capable look.

Functional design elements abound, including the Full roof rack with rails only and the Aero Crossbar Set, which are perfect for mounting bikes, kayaks, or extra luggage for a trip to Oxford, MS. The LED low and high beam headlights feature Auto on/off headlight control and Auto-leveling, ensuring the road is perfectly illuminated regardless of the load you are carrying.
