In the highly competitive SUV segment of the American market, renowned automakers such as Subaru know that they must consistently deliver innovation and quality. When the first generation of the new midsize Ascent SUV was introduced a few years ago, Subaru executives resolved to make it a smart choice in terms of ownership costs. According to an analysis conducted by IntelliChoice, a consumer market research firm based in California, the Subaru Ascent offers the lowest ownership cost in the crowded midsize SUV market, and this has a lot to do with the quality engineering, range of features, and reliability that Subaru is known for.
Who is the 2024 Subaru Ascent For?
This is a great choice for Atlanta families who need a spacious and versatile SUV with three rows of seats. The 2024 Subaru Ascent can accommodate up to eight passengers, and it has a large cargo storage section that is perfect for road trips, grocery runs, and even hauling gear. This SUV comes standard with quite a few safety features that are part of Subaru's EyeSight driver assistance technology; for this reason, the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety rates the Ascent with a Top Safety Pick+ designation.
In essence, the Ascent is a midsize SUV that has enough passenger and cargo space to compete against a full-size SUV, but it delivers the kind of driving experience you expect from a sporty crossover; to this effect, the 2024 Ascent includes a Touring trim edition that truly lives up to its name with extras that make it fun to drive. If you are interested in the kind of SUV you want to keep in the family for many years, the 2024 Subaru Ascent is an excellent option.
2024 Subaru Ascent Performance
All Ascent trim levels are powered by the Subaru Boxer 2.4L turbocharged four-cylinder power plant with dual overhead cam and 16 valves. Under ideal conditions, this powertrain can generate 260 horsepower and 277 lb.-ft starting at just 2,000 RPM. A symmetrical all-wheel drive system governs the drivetrain, and a continuously variable transmission that you have the option of manually controlling with paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel.
The fuel efficiency of the 2024 Ascent has been improved to 26 highway miles per gallon, and the towing capacity has been expanded to 5,000 pounds, enough for a camper or a boat trailer. With a ground clearance of 8.7 inches and the Subaru X-MODE terrain management system, the Ascent provides the smart traction you need for off-road driving.
Interior, Infotainment, and Smart Driver Assist Features
As a midsize SUV designed for passenger safety and comfort, the Ascent offers a thoughtful interior lined with quality materials and convenient features. All passengers, including those in the third row, have ample room to sit comfortably, and some of the trim levels offer captain's chairs in the middle row with easy access to the rear seats; this is great for children who need supervision during road trips.
The Subaru STARLINK infotainment system is controlled through an 8-inch touchscreen you can upgrade to 11.6 inches. You can pair your smartphones to STARLINK with a Bluetooth wireless connection, but many drivers prefer the default voice commands and navigation provided by TomTom in some trim levels. The optional Harman Kardon premium audio system provides crisp sound when you play music or podcasts.
With the Subaru EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, your Ascent driving experience is safer thanks to smart functions such as emergency braking, throttle management, and collision alerts. Adaptive cruise control with lane departure warnings is also standard.
