2021 Subaru Forester Premium: The Ultimate Versatile Crossover for St. Louis Living

Imagine starting your morning in the quiet, tree-lined streets of Ladue, MO, where the air is crisp and the day is full of potential. You slide into the driver seat of this Crystal Black Silica 2021 Subaru Forester Premium, ready to tackle a busy schedule of professional meetings and family commitments. Whether you are heading toward a morning coffee in the historic district of St Charles, MO or navigating the afternoon school pickup, this crossover is designed to blend seamlessly into your lifestyle. It offers the perfect balance of sophisticated styling and rugged capability, making it just as comfortable parked in a manicured driveway as it is cruising down the highway toward your next weekend getaway.

For the modern St. Louis resident, a vehicle must be more than just a mode of transportation; it needs to be a reliable partner. The Forester is built for those who value both form and function, providing a commanding view of the road and a sense of security that is hard to find elsewhere. As you transition from the residential peace of suburban neighborhoods to the vibrant energy of the city, this vehicle remains poised and composed. It is the ideal choice for those who demand excellence in every aspect of their daily commute, ensuring that every journey is as enjoyable as the destination itself.

Performance and All-Weather Capability

When it comes to navigating the diverse terrain of the St. Louis metropolitan area, the 2021 Subaru Forester Premium stands out with its standard All Wheel Drive system. Unlike many crossovers that only engage the rear wheels when slippage is detected, this Full-time AWD system provides constant power to all four wheels, ensuring maximum traction on the rolling hills of Chesterfield, MO. Whether you are dealing with a sudden Midwestern rainstorm or a light dusting of snow on the way to work, the Forester remains planted and confident.

Under the hood lies a refined 2.5L H-4 gasoline direct injection engine, featuring a DOHC setup and variable valve control. This Aluminum engine block produces a spirited 182HP, providing plenty of pep for merging onto the interstate or passing slower traffic. The engine is paired with a smooth Automatic transmission—a CVT with Lock-up transmission and Overdrive transmission capabilities—which helps the vehicle achieve an impressive 26 city / 33 hwy MPG. This efficiency is further enhanced by the Auto stop-start engine feature, which conserves fuel while you are waiting at a long light in a busy suburban intersection.

Drivers who want more control over their experience will appreciate the SI-DRIVE driver selectable drivetrain mode. This allows you to toggle between Intelligent mode for maximum efficiency and Sport mode for a more responsive throttle. The Four wheel independent suspension, featuring a Strut front suspension and a Double wishbone rear suspension, ensures that even the uneven pavement of older suburban roads feels smooth and controlled. With Speed sensitive power steering and Active Torque Vectoring, the Forester handles with a level of precision that makes every drive through the winding roads of the region a pleasure.

Integrated Technology and Connectivity

In todays fast-paced world, staying connected is a necessity, not a luxury. The 2021 Subaru Forester Premium is equipped with a comprehensive suite of tech features designed to keep you informed and entertained without taking your focus off the road. The centerpiece of the cabin is the 6.5 inch primary display featuring a Primary monitor touchscreen. This interface serves as the hub for STARLINK/Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smart device mirroring, allowing you to access your favorite navigation apps, music playlists, and messages with ease.

As you commute through the vibrant streets of Maplewood, MO, you can take full advantage of the Bluetooth® handsfree wireless device connectivity. This system, paired with Voice activated audio controls, ensures that you can make phone calls or change your music while keeping your hands securely on the Leather steering wheel. For those who prefer physical controls, the Steering wheel mounted audio controls provide a tactile way to manage your media. The vehicle also features 2 USB ports to keep your devices charged and ready for whatever the day holds.

The driver is kept well-informed via the Digital/analog instrumentation display, which includes a 4.20 inch gauge cluster display. This screen provides vital information, including ECO feedback to help you drive more efficiently and an Exterior temperature display to keep you updated on changing weather conditions. With Wireless streaming and a Single-disc CD player, you have a variety of ways to enjoy the 6 Speakers audio system, making every trip, whether short or long, a more immersive experience.

Interior Comfort and Suburban Utility

The interior of the Forester Premium is a sanctuary of comfort, designed to accommodate the needs of a busy family or an active professional. The Black interior features high-quality Cloth front seat upholstery that is both durable and comfortable. On those chilly Missouri mornings, you will be grateful for the Heated front seats and the Heated windshield wiper park, which help you get on your way faster. The Power driver seat offers 8-way directional controls and 2-way power lumbar support, ensuring you find the perfect driving position for long stints behind the wheel.

One of the standout features of this crossover is the Panoramic Power moonroof, which floods the cabin with natural light and provides an airy, open feel for all five passengers. The Automatic climate control system, supplemented by Rear under seat climate control ducts, ensures that everyone stays comfortable regardless of the temperature outside. When it comes to utility, the Power Rear Gate w/Automatic Close & Height Memory is a game-changer. Whether you are loading up gear for a day at the park or bringing home groceries, the Power liftgate rear cargo door makes access effortless.

The rear of the vehicle is just as well-thought-out, featuring 60-40 folding rear seats that allow you to expand the cargo area in seconds. The Carpet cargo area floor is protected by a Cargo Tray, and the Roll-up cargo cover keeps your valuables out of sight. With 3 12V power outlets strategically placed throughout the cabin, everyone can keep their gadgets powered up. From the Chrome and metal-look interior accents to the Fade interior courtesy lights, every detail has been considered to create a premium atmosphere that reflects the high standards of residents in areas like Glendale, MO.

Advanced Safety and Driver Assistance

Subaru has long been synonymous with safety, and the 2021 Forester Premium continues that legacy with a robust array of driver assistance technologies. The EyeSight Adaptive Cruise Control system is a standout feature, using advanced sensors to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, which is particularly helpful during heavy traffic on the daily commute. This is complemented by EyeSight Lane Keep Assist, which provides gentle steering corrections to help you stay centered in your lane.

The safety suite also includes Blind Spot Detection (BSD) with Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), providing an extra set of eyes when you are changing lanes or backing out of a busy parking spot at a local shopping center. For urban environments, the EyeSight Pre-Collision Braking system offers forward collision mitigation and pedestrian impact prevention, adding a crucial layer of protection. The vehicle is also equipped with EyeSight Sway Warning, a driver attention monitor that alerts you if it detects signs of fatigue.

In the event of an unavoidable situation, the Forester is prepared with a total of 7 airbags, including a Driver side knee airbag and Curtain first and second-row overhead airbags. The 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS Brakes and Brake assist ensure maximum stopping power, while the Electronic parking brake with Automatic brake hold adds convenience in stop-and-go traffic. With the STARLINK Safety and Security system (subscription required), you also have access to an emergency SOS system and a vehicle tracker, providing ultimate peace of mind for you and your family.

Sophisticated Exterior Design

The exterior of the 2021 Subaru Forester Premium is finished in a stunning Crystal Black Silica metallic paint, giving it a sleek and professional appearance that fits perfectly in any upscale neighborhood. The Grille with chrome bar and Body-colored front and rear bumpers create a cohesive, modern look, while the Rear lip spoiler adds a touch of sportiness to the silhouette. The vehicle sits on 17-inch Black Machine Finish Alloy wheels, which provide a bold contrast to the dark exterior.

Visibility is a top priority, and the Forester delivers with LED low and high beam headlights that feature Directionally adaptive technology, illuminating corners as you turn the steering wheel. The Auto High-beam Headlights and Auto on/off headlight control ensure you always have the right amount of light without dazzling other drivers. For foggy mornings, the Front fog lights provide extra clarity. The Heated door mirrors with Auto-Dimming and Approach Lighting are practical touches that make early morning departures much easier.

Designed for those with an active lifestyle, the Forester comes equipped with Roof rails, making it easy to attach racks for bikes, kayaks, or extra luggage. The Active grille shutters improve aerodynamics at highway speeds, while the Deep tinted windows provide privacy and help keep the interior cool. Every element, from the Black bodyside cladding to the Stainless steel single exhaust, has been chosen to ensure the Forester is as durable as it is stylish, ready to take on the roads of Chesterfield, MO and beyond.
