The 2021 Subaru Forester standardizes several safety and convenience features that were previously optional or only available on higher level trims. The Forester Base trim now features LED steering responsive headlights, high beam assist, and the rear seatbelt reminder, which remain standard across the lineup. The Forester Premium trim previously had optional keyless access with push-button start and fog lights, but now these two features are standard for the 2021 model year. The Forester Sport trim now features additional standard safety features: blind-spot detection with lane change assist and rear cross-traffic alert. And the Forester Limited trim adds seven-speed manual mode for the Lineartronic® continuously variable transmission (CVT), which was previously only a feature on the Forester Sport and Forester Touring.
