Exterior and Interior Styling

The new Ascent received a significant makeover for 2023, giving it a new grille and bold exterior stance, plus an attractive LED light signature for your journeys to Simsbury. Its appearance changes slightly with each trim, notably with the Onyx Edition and Onyx Edition Limited. These trims have an appearance package featuring black-finish exterior accents and 20-inch black-finish aluminum alloy wheels.

While the Ascent can set up to eight, owners can elect to get second-row captain's chairs that fold nearly flat, reducing the capacity to seven. The seat design is supportive for long road trips around Litchfield Hills, CT. The standard seats become nicer in mid to upper trims with water-repellant StarTex in the Onyx Edition and leather seats in the Touring trim. Behind the third row, it has 17.8 cubic feet of cargo space and 75.6 cubic feet, with the second and third rows folded. The Ascent incorporates some clever cargo solutions, including Velcro straps in the cargo area to hold up the load floor when you need additional space.
