The three-row Subaru Ascent, the largest SUV from the popular automaker, targets anyone shopping for a family-sized adventure vehicle. The eight-seat model has a powerful flat-four engine under its hood that drives a symmetrical all-wheel-drive system via a CVT transmission. As expected from a family-sized vehicle, the new Subaru Ascent has numerous comfort-enhancing amenities, high-quality interior materials, and a long list of standard safety features.
What's New for the Subaru Ascent?
The new Subaru Ascent has a redesigned exterior featuring revised lighting and a new grille. Moreover, the new model replaces the outgoing infotainment display with a massive 11.6-inch vertical touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Drivers can now communicate with kids in the third-row seats via an optional cabin connect speaker system.
How Does the New Subaru Ascent Perform?
All Subaru Ascent models have a 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine under their hoods, producing 260 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque. As a result of such power outputs, the Subaru Ascent is relatively quick from a standstill, reaching 60 mph within 6.7 seconds. Subaru uses a CVT gearbox across all trim levels of the new model and offers steering-mounted paddle shifters to give you more control of your ride's responsiveness. As expected, the Subaru Ascent has a symmetrical all-wheel drive to enhance traction when driving in snow and stability during highway trips. Because of its 8.7-inch ground clearance and X-mode traction management system, the new Subaru Ascent will deliver an impressive performance during light off-roading across snowy or muddy terrains on Long Island or in Sayville.
Which Trim is Right for You?
The new Subaru Ascent has various trim levels, from the entry-level Base model to the range-topping Touring trim. Lower trims, like the Base and Premium, have cloth upholstery, while higher trims, like the Limited and Touring, have leather-trimmed seats. Mid-tier variants, including the Onyx Edition and Onyx Edition Limited, have water-repellant upholstery, a panoramic moonroof, an updated X-Mode feature, and a heated steering wheel.
