For everyone wanting a three-row, family-sized SUV that is capable, comfortable and offers the space you and your active family need, the Subaru Ascent is an outstanding choice. This vehicle has been made to meet the expectations of the Subaru brand's reliability and longevity, which makes it ideal for your next vehicle.

What makes the Ascent such a great family SUV? 

The Ascent comes with a direct-injected and turbocharged horizontally opposed Subaru BOXER® engine. This 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine offers 260 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque, with a highway driving range that can reach over 500 miles at an EPA-estimated 27 MPG. When properly equipped, Ascent can tow up to 5,000 pounds! For those still looking for the thrill of the drive and still need to get everyone where they need to be, the horizontal layout of the Boxer® Engine allows for better balance and less vibration between pistons, which lets the engine perform more efficiently and effectively, as can be seen in the stats above. Gearheads will tell you working on a Boxer® Engine is more like working on an aircraft engine. It is made to soar! The excellent balance within the inline engine also increases response and is safer to protect your most precious cargo. All Ascent models come with a fuel-efficient Lineartronic® CVT transmission with an 8-speed manual mode. 

Ascent drivers will love how well the cabin is arranged. The clean, clutter-free instrument cluster, superb controls, and great visibility allows for easy access and less distraction when driving. Ascent seats up to eight passengers, with 19.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third-row of seats. Owners can choose between configurations of  second row bench seating for 8 or captain's chairs to seat 7 and allow for easier access to the third row. Need more room? Fold down the rear seats for up to 86.5 cubic feet of total cargo space - more than Mazda CX-9, Toyota Highlander or Honda Pilot. The 153.5 cubic feet of passenger volume ensures everyone has their space for a more enjoyable ride for all. You will be impressed by the quality of materials inside Ascent. It's a level of material quality you've never experienced in a Subaru and is comparable to that found in many luxury brands. Soft-touch materials are used throughout the cabin and give a very lush feel. If the ample cargo space was not enough, there is underfloor storage to stow items and keep the floorboards clear. 

Subaru vehicles are built to be safe and secure; Ascent is no exception. It all starts with the standard EyeSight, the most advanced driver assistance technology in the automotive industry. EyeSight uses stereo cameras to sense the road ahead enabling such features as Adaptive Cruise Control, Pre-Collision Braking, Vehicle Lane Departure Warning, and Lane Keep Assist and is one of the highest-rated active safety systems according to the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety. Other active safety features available on the Ascent include Blind Spot Detection and Rear Cross Traffic Alert, as well as Reverse Automatic Braking and High Beam Assist when equipped with EyeSight. Available  Advanced Adaptive Cruise with Lane Centering assists in steering, braking, and throttle control to make your drive easier, no matter the distance. The available 180-degree Front-View Monitor and Smart Rear-View Mirror use dedicated cameras to help make sure your path is clear, no matter which direction you are headed. The Rear-Vision Camera adds extra safety to reversing your SUV and is standard on all Ascent models.
