2019 Subaru Forester Sport: The Ultimate Suburban Adventure Companion
The 2019 Subaru Forester Sport is designed for those who refuse to let the routine of suburban life dampen their sense of adventure. Imagine starting your morning in the quiet, tree-lined neighborhoods of Homer Glen, IL, where the spacious driveways and family-oriented atmosphere demand a vehicle that is as practical as it is stylish. Whether you are loading up the gear for a weekend soccer tournament or heading out for a quiet morning hike along the historic canal trails in Lockport, IL, this crossover provides the versatility and rugged charm necessary to handle it all. With its Crystal White Pearl exterior and distinct Sport trim accents, this vehicle stands out in the carpool lane while remaining perfectly at home on a gravel trailhead. It bridges the gap between a reliable daily commuter and a capable weekend explorer, offering the peace of mind that comes with Subarus legendary reputation for longevity and safety.
Performance & Capability Built for Illinois Seasons
Under the hood of this 2019 Subaru Forester Sport lies a 2.5L H-4 gasoline direct injection DOHC engine, delivering a balanced 182HP. This aluminum block H4 engine is longitudinally mounted to optimize balance and stability, a feature you will appreciate when navigating the winding roads of the Fox River valley in Aurora, IL. The 7-speed Lineartronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) features a lock-up transmission and overdrive, ensuring smooth power delivery and an impressive fuel economy of 33 MPG on the highway and 26 MPG in the city.
Because Illinois weather can change in an instant, the Full-time All-Wheel Drive system works in tandem with Active Torque Vectoring to provide a brake-actuated limited slip differential effect, keeping you planted during a sudden summer downpour or a winter dusting. Drivers can customize their experience using the SI-DRIVE driver selectable drivetrain mode, allowing you to prioritize fuel efficiency during your daily commute or sharpen throttle response when you need a bit more spirit. The independent front strut suspension and double wishbone rear suspension provide a composed ride, while the Auto stop-start engine technology helps conserve fuel while you are waiting at long suburban intersections.
Seamless Technology and Connectivity
Staying connected while on the move is effortless thanks to the STARLINK/Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smart device mirroring. This system allows you to integrate your smartphone directly with the 6.5 inch primary touchscreen, giving you easy access to your favorite podcasts, music, and contacts. For those commuting from the surrounding suburbs, the Bluetooth handsfree wireless device connectivity and wireless streaming ensure you can take calls or change your soundtrack without ever taking your hands off the steering wheel mounted audio controls.
The cabin is equipped with a 4.20-inch gauge cluster display and a digital/analog instrumentation display that provides real-time data, including an ECO feedback display gauge to monitor your driving efficiency. With 4 USB ports distributed throughout the vehicle, everyones devices can stay charged during longer trips to local festivals or sporting events. Additionally, the SiriusXM Travel Link provides real-time weather updates, ensuring you are never caught off guard by a shifting forecast during your afternoon errands.
Comfort and Interior Refinement
Inside, the Forester Sport features a sophisticated Gray Premium cloth front seat upholstery that is both durable and comfortable. The driver is treated to an 8-way power adjustable seat, including 2-way power lumbar support, ensuring a perfect driving position for long stretches on the interstate. On chilly Illinois mornings, the Heated front seats and Heated windshield wiper park provide immediate relief from the cold, while the Automatic climate control with rear under seat climate control ducts keeps all five passengers comfortable regardless of the season.
The interior is designed with maximum utility in mind, featuring 60-40 folding rear seats that expand the cargo area in seconds. Accessing that space is simple with the Power cargo area access release, and the roll-up cargo cover keeps your valuables out of sight. Small details, like the leather and metal-look gear shifter and the leather steering wheel, add a touch of premium feel to the cabin. For an airy, open atmosphere, the Panoramic power moonroof allows natural light to flood both the first and second rows, making every drive feel like an excursion.
Advanced Safety and Driver Assistance
Subarus commitment to safety is on full display in the 2019 Forester Sport. The EyeSight Adaptive Cruise Control and EyeSight Lane Keep Assist work together to reduce driver fatigue during heavy traffic, while the EyeSight Pre-Collision Braking system provides forward collision mitigation and pedestrian impact prevention. If you are backing out of a tight spot at a busy shopping center, the Rear camera with washer ensures you have a clear view of what is behind you at all times.
The vehicle is built to protect, featuring a comprehensive 7-airbag system, including a driver side knee airbag and curtain first and second-row overhead airbags. The EyeSight Sway Warning acts as a driver attention monitor, alerting you if your driving patterns suggest fatigue. For families, the manual rear child safety door locks and airbag occupancy sensors provide extra layers of security. Furthermore, the STARLINK Safety and Security system offers emergency SOS capabilities and a vehicle tracker, giving you constant peace of mind wherever your travels take you.
Athletic Exterior and Functional Design
The exterior of this Forester Sport is finished in a striking Crystal White Pearl and features 18-inch black aluminum wheels that give it a modern, aggressive stance. The Black grille and rear lip spoiler further emphasize its "Sport" designation. Functional elements are integrated seamlessly, such as the roof rack rails, which are ready for your bike racks or cargo carriers. The LED low and high beam headlights feature Auto-leveling and High Beam Assist, automatically adjusting to provide the best possible visibility without blinding oncoming traffic.
Practicality is found in every corner, from the Heated door mirrors that clear frost quickly to the Remote activated perimeter approach lighting with puddle lights that illuminate the ground as you approach the vehicle at night. The Active grille shutters help improve aerodynamics at highway speeds, while the Black bodyside cladding and rear bumper rub strip protect the paint from the minor dings and scratches that can occur in busy parking lots.
