Performance

Under the hood of the Subaru Ascent, there's a turbocharged 2.4-liter engine. This robust engine generates 260 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque. It works with a Lineartronic continuously variable transmission and can send power to all four wheels whenever necessary. The Ascent's all-wheel-drive capability can make it easier to deal with difficult terrain. If conditions worsen, the X-MODE program can step into action. When you turn it on, it can adjust to enhance traction even more. Hill Descent Control can also be useful in some scenarios. Plus, the Subaru Ascent can tow heavy cargo for you. Most trims can tow up to 5,000 pounds.

Technology

Subaru has given the Ascent many high-tech features. You can use its 11.6-inch touchscreen when you're on the road. Since it has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, you can safely and easily make phone calls and check messages. SiriusXM is also standard, and navigation can be included in many trims. Wi-Fi capability and a premium Harman Kardon audio system are other available components.

Interior and Exterior

You can choose an Ascent with a second-row bench seat or second-row captain's chairs. With captain's chairs, the cabin feels more open, and it has seven seats. A bench seat provides three seats in the middle row, increasing the seating capacity to eight. Either way, you can rearrange things since the rear seatbacks can fold down, giving you more space for cargo. Maximum cargo volume is around 75 cubic feet so that larger items will fit inside the cabin.

Regarding comfort, you'll appreciate what the Ascent offers. It can come with heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, and a tri-zone automatic climate system, allowing people to choose the most comfortable temperature. Further, the seats in the Ascent can be wrapped in StarTex, leather, or Nappa leather.

The Ascent stands tall with a clearance of 8.7 inches. It rides on aluminum alloy wheels that can measure 18 or 20 inches. Its LED steering responsive headlights do a great job at night, and LED fog lights are optional. It's nice that Subaru has made roof rails a standard component, providing you with another way to transport larger cargo around Bedford, NH and Peterborough, NH.

Trim Levels

The entry-level Base trim is impressive with its advanced technology and spacious cabin. The Premium is next in the lineup, and it's the level at which a 5,000-pound towing capacity and Wi-Fi capability become standard. The Ascent Onyx Edition feels sleek with its black wheels and grille. Inside its cabin, you'll find StarTex water-repellent upholstery and its power rear gate can be useful. The Limited has more upscale elements, such as leather upholstery and heated second-row seats. The Ascent Onyx Edition Limited has the addition of a panoramic moonroof and a 360-degree monitor, and the Touring tops the list with Nappa leather seats, navigation, and power-folding side mirrors.

Other Features

We'd also like to highlight that the Subaru Ascent is safe. It will keep an eye out for any potential problems on your behalf. If necessary, it can slow down and adjust its steering to help you avoid an accident.
