Since its debut in late 2018, the Subaru Ascent has quickly become a hot draw among a wide array of Americans. Utah drivers in particular have embraced the Ascent in droves thanks to its power, versatility and attractive pricing. The new 2020 Ascent improves on an already stellar CUV by adding a number of compelling features.

New Features for the 2020 Model

While the Subaru Ascent is largely unchanged from the previous year, the 2020 iteration has a few nifty upgrades worth mentioning. First off, every trim level gets Rear Seat Reminder warnings that alert drivers to items occupying back seats. What's more, the high-end Touring edition adds folding side-view mirrors equipped with LED turn signals.

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.

The Ideal Ascent Owner

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.
