Basics About the 2023 Subaru Ascent
Power and Handling
With a hearty 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque coming from its turbocharged 2.4L boxer-four engine, the Ascent has no problem getting up to speed. Combined with the Lineartronic continuously variable transmission with Adaptive Control, there’s enough performance for enabling the vehicle to tow up to 5,000 pounds. Want to take greater control? The transmission comes with an 8-speed manual mode and paddle shifters.
Thanks to its four-wheel independent raised suspension and Active Torque Vectoring, which makes minute braking adjustments to enhance cornering ability, the Ascent provides excellent handling and maneuverability. The suspension has also been tuned for an exceptionally smooth and comfortable ride.
Passenger Cabin
The Ascent’s cabin sports a sophisticated, grown-up design with room for up to eight passengers. At 153.2 cubic feet, the Ascent outdoes its rivals when it comes to total passenger volume. The second row can be configured with two captain’s chairs or a three-passenger bench seat. In addition to heated front seats for most trims, Limited, Onyx Edition Limited, and Touring models offer heated second-row seats.
Plenty of upholstery choices are offered by the Ascent’s interior, including stain-resistant cloth, water-repellent StarTex, and genuine Nappa Leather. All models come standard with tri-zone automatic climate control and extra storage space in the form of an underfloor compartment in the cargo area.
Infotainment
Subaru’s large, easy-to-read 11.6-inch Starlink infotainment touchscreen is present on every Ascent, offering Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth technology, and a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot. For your listening enjoyment, there’s SiriusXM satellite radio and HD Radio, which sounds incredible through the available 14-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system. The available navigation system recognizes multi-touch gestures and voice commands.
Driver Assists
A slew of standard driver assists included in the EyeSight technology suite make the Ascent one of the safest crossover vehicles around. It features pre-collision braking, lane keeping, and an adaptive cruise control system with lane catering. Available automatic emergency steering is capable of using a camera and rear radar to judge whether or not a frontal collision with an object can be safely avoided.
There’s even an available driver monitoring system that can determine if the driver is no longer able to operate the vehicle safely due to distractions or drowsiness.
