Engines and Transmissions
Every Ascent is powered by a 2.4 L turbocharged flat-four engine. These direct injection powerhouses produce 260 hp and 277 lb-ft of torque. Maximum torque is achieved between 2,000 and 4,800 rpm depending on the driving situation in question. Thanks to a slick CVT gearbox, the Ascent is quick off the line without sacrificing fuel economy.
Performance on the Road
Despite seating up to eight passengers and weighing over 4,400 pounds, the Ascent can hit 60 mph in 6.9 seconds. Thanks to Subaru's Symmetrical All Wheel Drive, the Ascent can negotiate a cornucopia of challenging terrain without breaking a sweat. Best of all, this robust people mover achieves up to 27 mpg on the highway.

Infotainment Technology
The base-level model comes with the Subaru STARLINK media system controlled by a 7-inch touchscreen display. SiriusXM radio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard features regardless of trim. Stepping up to the Premium trim adds an 8-inch LCD, TomTom GPS and an option of 4G LTE Wi-Fi. The Touring edition gets a 14-speaker Harman Kardon sound system.
Driver-Assistance Capabilities
The great thing about the Subaru Ascent is that it boasts the Subaru EyeSight suite of safety features by default. The Premium trim gets the Subaru STARLINK system, which includes niceties like blind-spot and rear cross-path detection. The Limited gets reverse automatic braking, intelligent cruise control and lane-keep assist. The Touring edition adds a nifty 180-degree front-view monitor.
Interior and Exterior Features
While the base-level Ascent's cloth upholstery is solid, the Premium's spill-resistant chair covers are outstanding. The Limited gets leather upholstery, keyless entry and push-button starting. Every trim starting with the Premium gives buyers the option of replacing the second row bench with captain's chairs. The Touring edition gets 20-inch wheels and a panoramic moonroof.
Storage and Seating Statistics
The Ascent can tote an impressive 86.5 cubic feet of gear, putting many rivals in its class to shame. Furthermore, a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds allows it to pull an impressive variety of hitch-mounted loads. Integrated Velcro straps and second-row captain's chairs that fold flat give owners a lot of flexibility when it comes to hauling serious weight.

Ultimately, the Ascent is a Subaru Utah residents of all stripes can benefit from. Whether you're driving up to Alta or ferrying the kids to a soccer game, the Ascent is a capable commuter. If you live life to the fullest and want to enjoy your time on the road, the Ascent is a wise choice.
