As you head toward the city for a morning meeting or navigate the local school zones, this crossover provides a sense of refined confidence that few vehicles in its class can match. It is designed for the driver who appreciates the finer thingsâ€"like genuine Leather front seat upholsteryâ€"but still needs a vehicle that can handle the unpredictable Midwestern weather and the demands of a busy suburban lifestyle. Whether you are heading to a weekend soccer tournament or simply running errands at the local shopping centers, the Forester Touring transforms every mundane drive into a premium experience.

This isn't just a way to get from point A to point B; it is a sophisticated tool for modern living. For those residing in Lombard, IL, the Forester offers the perfect balance of interior volume for grocery hauls at Yorktown Center and a footprint that is easy to park and maneuver through tree-lined residential streets. The Touring trim represents the pinnacle of Subarus lineup, offering a level of fit and finish that feels right at home in the most established neighborhoods of the western suburbs.

Confident Performance for the Daily Commute

Under the hood, the 2019 Subaru Forester Touring is powered by a 2.5L H-4 gasoline direct injection engine, delivering a balanced 182HP. This H4 configuration, featuring an Aluminum engine block, provides a low center of gravity that enhances stability as you navigate the winding roads near the Des Plaines River. Paired with the Lineartronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), the power delivery is smooth and efficient, making your daily commute through Des Plaines, IL or onto the nearby interstates both quiet and composed.

Subarus legendary All Wheel Drive system is standard here, providing a Full-time AWD experience that is always active, ensuring you have maximum traction before you even realize you need it. For more tailored driving dynamics, the SI-DRIVE driver selectable drivetrain mode allows you to choose between Intelligent and Sport modes, adjusting the throttle response to suit your mood or the traffic conditions. Despite its rugged capability, this crossover remains incredibly efficient, achieving an impressive 26 city / 33 hwy MPG, allowing you to spend more time enjoying the drive and less time at the pump. The Four wheel independent suspension, featuring a Strut front suspension and Double wishbone rear suspension, works in harmony with Speed sensitive power steering to provide a ride that is as comfortable as it is controlled.

Advanced Technology and Seamless Connectivity

Staying connected while on the move is effortless thanks to the Subaru Starlink 8.0in Multimedia Nav System. This high-resolution 8 inch primary display serves as the command center for your digital life, featuring STARLINK/Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smart device mirroring. Whether you are navigating to a new restaurant in a nearby suburb or listening to your favorite podcast via Bluetooth wireless audio streaming, the interface is intuitive and responsive. The Integrated navigation system with voice activation ensures you never lose your way, while Siri Eyes Free voice activated audio controls allow you to keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road.

The audio experience is elevated by the harman/kardon 576W Amp & Speaker System, utilizing 9 Speakers to deliver concert-quality sound throughout the cabin. Passengers will appreciate the 4 USB ports, ensuring everyones devices stay charged during longer trips. To keep the driver informed without distraction, the Digital/analog instrumentation display includes a 4.20 inch gauge cluster display and an ECO feedback display gauge, providing real-time data on your driving efficiency and vehicle status.

A Sanctuary of Comfort and Interior Luxury

The interior of the Touring trim is a masterclass in suburban luxury, featuring Black perforated leather-trimmed upholstery that is both durable and elegant. On cold Illinois mornings, the Heated front seats, Heated rear seats, and Heated steering wheel provide immediate warmth, while the Dual-zone front climate control with Voice-activated climate control allows both the driver and passenger to set their ideal temperature. The drivers seat offers 8-way directional controls including 2-way power lumbar support, and the Memory settings for the seat and door mirrors ensure that your perfect driving position is saved for up to five different drivers.

The cabin feels airy and expansive thanks to the Panoramic power moonroof, which floods the interior with natural light. Practicality is not sacrificed for luxury; the Power Liftgate provides easy access to the cargo area, which features a Roll-up cargo cover, Vinyl/rubber cargo mat, and Cargo area concealed storage. For larger items, the 60-40 folding rear seats can be dropped forward to create a flat loading floor. Small details, such as the Leather gear shifter material, Chrome and metal-look interior accents, and Remote activated perimeter approach lighting, reinforce the premium nature of this vehicle every time you step inside.

Safety and Peace of Mind

Subaru is synonymous with safety, and the 2019 Forester Touring is equipped with a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance technologies. The EyeSight Adaptive Cruise Control and EyeSight Lane Keep Assist work together to reduce driver fatigue on long highway stretches, while the EyeSight Pre-Collision Braking system provides forward collision mitigation and pedestrian impact prevention. For added awareness, the Blind Spot Detection system alerts you to vehicles in your periphery, and Reverse Automatic Braking can help prevent collisions while backing up.

Protection is provided by a total of 7 airbags, including a Driver side knee airbag and Curtain first and second-row overhead airbags. The vehicle also features Active Torque Vectoring, which uses the 4-Wheel Disc Brakes to improve handling and cornering stability. For families, the Manual rear child safety door locks and Airbag occupancy sensor offer additional peace of mind. Furthermore, the STARLINK Safety and Security system provides an emergency SOS capability and vehicle tracking, ensuring help is never far away if the unexpected occurs.

Exterior Design and Sophisticated Presence

The exterior of the Forester Touring is finished in a timeless Crystal Black Silica, complemented by Chrome side window trim and Metal-look front and rear bumper inserts. The 18-inch machined w/painted accents aluminum wheels give the vehicle a planted, athletic stance, while the Roof rack rails provide the versatility needed for hauling bikes or extra luggage. The Chrome grille and Rear lip spoiler add a touch of sportiness to the classic crossover silhouette.

Visibility is a priority, evidenced by the LED low and high beam headlights which feature Directionally adaptive technology to peer around corners as you turn. The Auto High-beam Headlights automatically adjust to oncoming traffic, and the LED front fog lights help cut through the thick morning mist often found near the local forest preserves.
