Subaru Ascent Models

The Subaru Ascent, which made its highly anticipated debut for the 2019 model year, is the largest and most versatile vehicle in the brand's history. The Ascent was made to provide families with a legitimate three-row SUV that didn't sacrifice the standard all-wheel drive and safety ratings that define the marque.

Subaru Ascent: Adventure for the Whole Family

Diving into the mechanical heart of the Subaru Ascent reveals a powertrain engineered for massive torque and consistent highway composure under load. Every model features the 2.4-liter turbocharged SUBARU BOXER engine, a 16-valve DOHC powerhouse that produces a commanding 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque. The powertrain is paired with a high-torque Lineartronic CVT with an 8-speed manual mode, distributing power through the intelligent Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive system.

The interior provides a massive 153.5 cubic feet of passenger volume, with a functional cargo capacity that expands to 75.6 cubic feet when the rear rows are folded flat. Popular trims range from the Premium and Onyx Edition to the ultra-luxurious Touring, which features Nappa leather and a panoramic moonroof.
