This is a Motormouth couple car review of the 2021 Subaru Forester. Subaru puts the "U" in SUV with an incredible amount of utility for all passengers. The very popular Forester falls between the Subaru Crosstrek and the larger three-row Ascent. It comes standard with AWD and EyeSight driver assist technology which has been found to reduce rear-end crashes with injuries by up to 85%. It has 220 mm of ground clearance for good off-road capability and winter driving conditions.The spacious and versatile Forester has more passenger room than the Honda CRV, Toyota RAV4 and Ford Escape. It offers a generous cargo area with 76.1 cubic feet of cargo volume. The Forester has a carved front fascia and hawk-eye shaped LED headlights along with angular LED accent lights. This Subaru comes with six trims in Canada and five in the US. Some standard features include, LED headlights, 17” wheels, 18” are standard on higher trims. We are testing the sport model with orange accents throughout the exterior and roof rack tie-down points for added versatility and cargo carrying capability. A panoramic sunroof and a power tailgate is standard on the Touring trim in Canada. A panoramic sunroof is standard on the Premium trim in the US, but to get the power tailgate you need to add a package to this trim for $1,095 USD. Overall cargo space goes to the Forester and RAV4, most cargo space behind the 2nd row Tucson with the RAV4 in second. Second row seat space with almost 2 inches more than the Forester goes to the Tucson and the RAV4 having the least. There is a 1.5 inch difference between the Forester and the RAV4 for second row legroom. The Escape comes in second behind the Tucson with a half inch less. The Forester competes against the Toyota RAV4, Ford Escape, Mazda CX-5, Hyundai Tucson and the Honda CRV. They all offer plenty of interior space for a family but the winner in overall cargo space goes to the Forester, but the new Tucson offers the most cargo space behind the second row. The winner for most second row legroom goes to the Tucson, it has almost 2 inches more room than the Forester with the RAV4 having the least. There is a 1.5” difference between the Forester and the RAV4 in the second row.
The Forester has a 2.5L 4-cylinder matched with a CVT, 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque. It gets 9L/100 km, 26 MPG city, 7.2L/100km highway, 33 MPG highway and can tow up to 1500 pounds.
