    Subaru Forester 2021

    Subaru Forester 2021

    FROM
    $25,410

    The 2021 Subaru Forester range of configurations is currently priced from $17,750.

    Our most recent review of the 2021 Subaru Forester resulted in a score of 7.8 out of 10 for that particular example.

    Carsguide Managing Editor - Head of Video Matt Campbell had this to say at the time: The Subaru Forester Sport is an interesting new addition to the range, despite not really moving it forward in any other way apart from its eye-catching looks. It is a competitive counterpoint to the likes of the CX-5 and CR-V, but still doesn't quite reach the same levels of refinement and driving enjoyment of the RAV4.

    This is what Matt Campbell liked most about this particular version of the Subaru Forester: Interesting looks, Excellent safety, Good space and practicality

    The 2021 Subaru Forester carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1800 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

    Subaru Forester 2021 FAQs

    Is my 2021 Subaru Forester Sport classed as Luxury?

    Technically, as far as local car-industry definitions go, your car is a member of the light commercial class of cars, and in the medium SUV sub-category. Whether you think it's a luxury car is up to you and will largely depend on your expectations and previous experiences.

    Luxury is a tricky thing to define and as cars gain more and more standard equipment and refinement with each passing year, what passed for luxury a few years ago might now be considered a run-of-the-mill vehicle. There was a time when velour trim and intermittent windscreen wipers were the preserve of luxury cars, but that won't cut it these days when the cheapest cars have those things and much more as standard.

    Why is the battery in my 2021 Subaru Forester going flat and how do I fix it?

    A: If the reason the battery is going flat has anything to do with a fault within the rest of the car, then yes, I would imagine the problem – and the subsequent battery replacement if the battery is damaged – would be a warranty issue. The body computer in modern cars can do curious things with the electrical systems and accessories fitted, and that can sometimes result in a flat battery.

    Subaru is not the only brand with this problem, but flat batteries caused by it are definitely not the sort of statutory wear and tear issues that normally exclude a battery from any warranty claims. It would be the same with tyres, brakes and clutches. Normally, when these components wear out its deemed normal wear and tear and is not covered by the car’s warranty. But if a tyre, clutch or braking system fails because of a manufacturing or materials fault, then the new-car warranty should cover it.
