Subaru Forester Interior Review

Subaru Forester: Interior Dimensions

With an extra-wide tailgate and seating for five, the 2021 Subaru Forester features everything you expect from a dependable SUV. It's built to give you and your passengers plenty of space to stretch your legs and tons of storage space.

The trunk is built to carry everything from groceries to camping gear. To keep things from sliding around, you can add a convenient cargo net. Plus, 60/40-split flat-folding rear seats come standard to help you make room for more.

• Passenger Space: 111.9 cubic feet
• Cargo Room Behind Row (front/rear): 74.3 cubic feet/31.1 cubic feet
• Headroom (front/rear): 41.2 inches/39.6 inches
• Legroom (front/rear): 43.3 inches/39.4 inches

A moonroof is also available to make the cabin feel more open and let some natural light in. While this gives your passengers a nice view, it will have a slight effect on your headroom. Still, with 40.2 inches up front and 37.7 inches of rear headroom, even tall passengers will have room to get comfortable.

Stylish & Comfortable Amenities

The 2021 Subaru Forester makes it easy to get going and get comfortable. It starts with Keyless Access and a Push-Button Start. From there, you'll find lots of ways to kick back and relax with power adjustable front seats.

The interior is designed for all seasons with heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and a dual-zone automatic climate control system with air filtration.

On top of its upscale amenities, the Forester features some stylish options. Cloth seats come standard, but sport cloth and leather upholstery are also available.

Forester Infotainment System

In addition to all the comfortable features located throughout the cabin, the 2021 Subaru Forester features a cutting-edge infotainment system on the dashboard. A 6.5-inch screen comes standard, but an 8-inch screen is also available.

Both options include smartphone compatible features that'll help you stream music and stay connected wherever you go. It's easy to make hands-free calls and find something good to listen to with the following features:

• Bluetooth® audio streaming and hands-free phone connectivity
• Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™
• SiriusXM®
• HD Radio®

A navigation system is also available to help you find the fastest route and get turn-by-turn directions. Not only will you be able to see a map of your route in real time, but you can see what's around your SUV with safety features like the Rear-Vision Camera. Just put your SUV in reverse and the dashboard monitor will switch to a live look at what's behind you.
