Family-friendly features and extra room to boot. If you are a family searching for a three-row vehicle that does not sacrifice comfort, the Subaru Ascent Limited 7-Passenger could be the perfect option. This mid-size SUV provides comfortable seating options, luxurious interior appointments, and comes standard with all-wheel drive. At Ewing Subaru of Plano, we present an SUV built to keep pace with the dynamic family lifestyle while giving all drivers and passengers a space to sit back and relax.
Limited Ascent gives you a touch of luxury. Standard leather upholstery, 20-inch alloy wheels, heated seats in the first and second rows, and a heated steering wheel bring more luxury to your drives. The power rear gate makes it easier to put in your groceries, sports gear, or luggage, and the navigation-enabled Subaru multimedia system assists with your directions.
A second-row captain’s chairs option is a benefit of the seven-passenger model. It replaces the third-row bench seat with individual seats and creates a pathway through to the third row. If your family tends to transport children, teens, or various party groups, this setup may be more convenient for you.
Powered by a turbocharged 2.4-liter SUBARU BOXER engine, delivering 260 horsepower and 277 lb.-ft. torque, along with a Lineartronic CVT and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, the Ascent helps you safely accelerate when you need to merge on the highway and keeps you in control when rain makes North Texas roads slick.
It’s capable of towing up to 5,000 pounds (when properly equipped), making the Ascent suitable for certain recreational trailers. Actual towing capacity will depend on configuration and tow capacity. Subaru EyeSight Driver Assist Technology provides driver-assistance features to help support awareness while on the road and even further out.
Compared to the Limited, which also seats eight passengers, this version has an alternate second-row configuration with captain’s chairs, which puts a premium on individual seats and access to the third-row seating, over the maximum seating capacity of the Limited. If you’re interested in the highest-end options like Nappa leather-trimmed appointments and a panoramic power moonroof, the Touring trim is the way to go. For a little less, the Limited provides the perfect mid-range choice for families.
Ewing Subaru of Plano provides the opportunity for shoppers to see your available configurations and weigh the features that are most important to your family.
What is the benefit of the Ascent Limited seven-passenger configuration?
It’s actually the second-row captain’s chairs, which offer individual seats and a walking aisle in between for easier ingress/egress. As with the SE, this version comes with driver-focused tech, leather-trimmed seats, heated front and second-row seats, navigation, and Driver Focus – catering to folks interested in the high-end family experience.
How much does the Subaru Ascent Limited tow?
Subaru Ascent towing capacity: When fitted with the right towing package, the Subaru Ascent can tow up to 5,000 pounds. This is enough to tow a small camper, utility trailer, or lots of gear, but the hitch weight and trailer weight vary based on which model you have and how it is configured.
How is the Ascent performance in the city and on the highway in and near Plano, TX?
Yes. You’ll have power on demand, thanks to its turbocharged engine, for highway onramps and the daily grind; optional Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive can help maintain momentum and traction in North Texas rain. There’s room for everything – and everyone – in its three-row cabin, a definite plus when shuttling kids to and from school, running errands, or going on family adventures. Always be cautious when handling deep water and North Texas storms.
How is the Limited different from the Ascent Touring?
Limited trims boast leather-trimmed seats, second-row heated seats, navigation, and 20-inch wheels. The Touring builds on the LX with key luxury enhancements, including Nappa leather-trimmed seats and a power panoramic moonroof. See if the upgrade from Limited to Touring is worth it when comparing face-to-face.
What do families need to be aware of before purchasing this SUV?
Keep in mind that all three rows will need to be balanced, and don’t forget about comfortable captain’s chairs for those using the back seats. As you do your shopping, take a close look at the storage room once the vehicle is packed to the gills, and how much will be used for fuel consumption, parking lot width, child seat access, and any tow capacity.
