The New Subaru Ascent

The Ascent is designed as a larger SUV, offering maximum capacity and capability for its faithful owners. It is also a rugged machine that offers both style and usefulness. Plus, it offers plenty of advantages over SUVs in its class. Its 8.7-inch ground clearance provides better clearance of uneven surfaces. The Ascent's 71.6-inch overall height with crossbars installed makes it easier for items to be removed from the roof rack system - such as bicycles and oversized camping equipment.

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 driving range of 500 miles.

When properly equipped, your Ascent can tow up to 5,000 pounds!

All Ascent models come with a Lineartronic® CVT transmission with an 8-speed manual mode.

Only Subaru offers standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive for superb traction all year round. The design of the system is rooted in its horizontally-opposed engines, which provide a lower center of gravity for optimal operation of the system. Within the system, there is Active Torque Split on CVT equipped models, which distributes power between the two axles depending on actual throttle response. Combined with available Active Torque Vectoring, X-Mode, Hill Descent Control and Incline Start Assist, the system works to enable more stability, control, and performance on inclines and slippery road surfaces. This all-wheel drive system is made for driving in and around Texas - even on country dirt roads.

Ascent drivers will love how well laid out the cabin is. It seats up to eight passengers, plus 19.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third-row of seats. Fold down the rear seats, and there is 72.6 cubic feet of total cargo space available to bring everything you need for a weekend further up the range. Drivers have great access to a clean instrument cluster, superb controls all around and great vision all around. You will be impressed by the quality of materials in the new Ascent. It's a level of material quality you've never experienced in a Subaru, it's nicer than some "luxury" vehicles.

STARLINK is how a Subaru driver communicates, stays informed, and entertains. It is a hub of connected services, now including smartphone connections via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Plus, Starlink offers enhanced service offered by SiriusXM, including real-time Traffic reporting. Certain trim levels will include Starlink Safety Plus and Security Plus packages that reports accident information and stolen vehicle tracking. Depending on trim, the touch screen measures to 6.5 or 8.0 inches. Navigation is available on certain Ascent models.

Subarus are built safe and secure. The Ascent is no exception. It all starts with the standard EyeSight, the most advanced driver assistance technology in the automotive industry. It 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. It 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.

Pricing for the Ascent starts at $32,295. Trim levels include Base, Premium, Onyx Edition, Limited, and Touring.
