2021 Subaru Forester Review

Check the price in your area:

The Forester Limited is one of the most attractive models in the range, coming with a larger eight-inch touchscreen infotainment display, a power tailgate for easy cargo loading, and dual-zone automatic climate control. You also get leather upholstery for a more luxurious feel and the option of a heated steering wheel and reverse automatic braking. Navigation can also be added to this model along with the top trim’s nine-speaker Harman Kardon sound system. Additional chrome accents around the windows and front grilles help easily identify this model.
