Summary
With 170 currently listed for sale and an average price of $26,076 CAD, 27.1% of 2021 Subaru Foresters for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.

Why it stands out
The 2021 Subaru Forester stands out as a practical compact SUV that leans hard into safety, visibility, and all-weather confidence. It uses Subaru’s symmetrical all-wheel drive system, and the buying guide describes the Forester as a value choice for buyers who want AWD, safety, and long-term reliability. Owners also commonly praise its spacious feel and good handling, which helps explain why it appeals to shoppers looking for a trustworthy family vehicle.
What makes this generation distinctive is the way Subaru refined the Forester rather than reinventing it. The fifth-generation model debuted for the 2019 model year with a renewed focus on comfort, safety, and efficiency, and it moved to stiffer mechanical underpinnings that improved ride, stability, handling, and crash protection. For this generation, Subaru’s EyeSight system was standard across the range and included adaptive cruise control, Pre-Collision Braking, lane departure and sway warning, and Lead Vehicle Start Alert. Power came from an updated 2.5-litre boxer engine with 182 hp and 176 lb-ft, paired with a CVT and standard AWD.
There are a few trade-offs to keep in mind. The buying guide notes that ditching the turbocharged XT model and its manual transmission removed the Forester’s sportier options, and some early models in this generation had minor CVT issues. Even so, the 2021 Subaru Forester remains appealing because it combines everyday usability, strong safety equipment, and a reputation for reliability in a package that is easy to live with.

Well proportioned, spacious feel (light grey interior and panoramic sunroof). Sufficient power, and SI Drive button provides burst of power for hills, on-ramps, etc. Well balanced liftgate, though a power gate is nice to have (optional).

How much does the 2021 Subaru Forester cost?
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Current Average Price | $26,037 CAD |
| Year-Round Low | $26,027 CAD |
| Year-Round High | $27,369 CAD |
| Average Price a Year Ago | $27,383 CAD |
| Change vs. Last Year | −4.92% |
Prices have softened 4.92% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.
There are 170 listings available, which suggests you have a reasonable amount of inventory to compare.
Is the 2021 Subaru Forester a good car?
Yes — the 2021 Subaru Forester earns a 5/5 user rating, which points to strong owner satisfaction. Owners repeatedly highlight its spacious feel, safety features, and reliability, and many also like its good handling and attractive design. That lines up well with its role as a practical compact SUV for buyers who want all-weather confidence, everyday usability, and a trustworthy family vehicle. With 25.3% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is still some room to shop selectively.
Is the 2021 Subaru Forester reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The owner feedback also points to reliability, dependability, and a trouble-free ownership experience, with many shoppers valuing it as a car they can count on over the long term. For used buyers, the main risk is making sure the vehicle has been maintained properly, since any SUV with higher mileage can become more expensive if upkeep has been neglected.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Subaru Forester?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer's market, so you can afford to be patient and compare listings carefully.
- Deal availability: 25.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 170 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 4.92% compared with last year.
If you find a listing below $26,027 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2021 Subaru Forester's resale value?
The current average of $26,037 CAD sits slightly below last year's $27,383 CAD.
That price movement suggests the market has cooled a bit, which can make the Forester easier to buy now but may also temper short-term resale gains for future sellers. If you plan to own it for several years, the current pricing gives you a more favourable entry point than last year. Strong owner satisfaction can help support demand when you eventually sell.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2021 Subaru Forester or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2021 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2021 if:
- 25.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 4.92% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2022 if:
- At $29,638 CAD, the 2022 costs more than the current year's $26,037 CAD average.
- It adds fresh design details and upgraded EyeSight technology.
The bottom line: The 2021 is the better value if you want a well-liked Forester at a lower entry price. If you are willing to pay more for updated features and a newer feel, the 2022 is the stronger upgrade path; if price matters most, the 2021 is the smarter buy.
