Performance
The Subaru Ascent has a turbocharged engine that delivers 260 horsepower and gets up to an EPA-estimated 26 miles per gallon. There is a continuously variable transmission (CVT) for your trips to Bristol, CT.
Some of the best features of Subaru vehicles include the standard all-wheel drive and a higher ground clearance. These aspects show why Subaru is the preferred choice of those who live in snowy climates. The Ascent is not an exception. Subaru's version of symmetrical all-wheel drive can detect if a wheel is slipping and supply more torque to the wheels that are not in danger. This step keeps you and your family safer while driving around Avon, especially in inclement conditions, like rain and snow. You'll have 8.7 inches of ground clearance for your drives through Farmington, CT.
A standard addition to the Subaru all-wheel drive tech is X-Mode. The X-Mode allows you to dial in the traction for different, more challenging terrain conditions. It also controls a hill descent system that helps you navigate steep hills in icy or slippery conditions.
The new Subaru Ascent has greater towing capacity than any other Subaru vehicle. With the right setup and routine service and repairs, it can tow up to 5,000 pounds around Simsbury. There is an available trailer hitch that will get you camping with the family with your trailer, boat, or other recreational items.
Interior/Design
Whether the Ascent seats seven or eight passengers depends the trim model that you finance or lease. Some trim models have captain's chairs in the second row. These trim models have seating for seven. If your Ascent has second-row bench seating, you will have seating for eight. There is good cargo space in the rear and more storage areas under the floor. In addition, both the second and third rows of seating can fold to provide storage for more cargo or longer items. A large, panoramic moonroof is available.
Technology
The family-friendly Subaru Ascent can keep you entertained and engaged as you transport your loved ones around town. It has a multimedia touchscreen with standard Apple CarPlay or Android Auto wireless integration. Another tech option that is available for the new Ascent is a voice-activated navigation system by the manufacturer TomTom.
