The History of the Subaru Ascent

The Ascent is a relatively new model in the Subaru lineup, one that was designed with active families and frequent travelers in mind. Getting its start in 2019, the Ascent quickly appealed to those searching for a spacious cabin that offered flexibility and comfort for all on board, as well as a smooth and controlled ride and plenty of desirable features throughout. This three-row midsize SUV impressed right away, with standard all-wheel drive capabilities plus ample power to tow campers, trailers, and more on any adventure. Riding higher than others like it, with room for up to eight, the Ascent was a no-brainer for families who didn’t want to settle for a minivan and instead yearned for something more exciting.

Over the years, the Ascent became even more appealing, with more tech to add convenience to the ride, like a Rear Seat Reminder. This feature alerts drivers to check the backseat before exiting the vehicle to ensure nothing is left behind. An available power-operated liftgate and more convenience features were added to its lineup, while signature Subaru performance continued to set it apart from its rivals. Enhanced styling elements drifted into this impressive model by way of sleek LED headlamps, upgraded leather seating materials, and even more elegant features inside and out. Its versatility and practicality remain prominent in this Subaru newcomer, which further appeals to drivers of all lifestyles.

Today, the Ascent is more enticing than ever, with a rugged exterior, cozy interior, and myriad of standard features to make the drive more enjoyable than ever before. A highly configurable cabin space, with loads of add-ons to enhance the level of comfort, like second-row captain’s chairs and better quality materials, greets you, while new special editions add a level of mystique to this everyday traveler. From the moment you step inside, you’ll realize that the Ascent thinks of everything when it comes to your ride, which makes it a popular option in the Subaru lineup, one that keeps getting better as each year passes.

How Spacious Is the Subaru Ascent?

When it comes to picking the right SUV, space is a top priority for many consumers—particularly families. The Subaru Ascent proves to be a strong contender in this area, giving you seats for up to eight passengers. This makes it ideal as a family hauler, and even with every seat occupied, you still get plenty of cargo space in the back for all your items.

You can, however, opt for a seven-seat configuration; this gives you a set of second-row captain’s chairs that ooze comfort. They also help create more pass-through room to the third row, making it even easier to access. What you order will ultimately depend on what you prefer and how many seats you need to get everyone in.

Of course, should you happen to need more space in the cargo area, you can fit more of your groceries, luggage, or sports equipment in the back, thanks to the Ascent’s folding second and third rows of seats. This exponentially enhances your available cargo space, making everything from a daily commute to a family road trip entirely possible.

How Safe Is the Subaru Ascent?

Safety is important in any vehicle, and Subaru Ascent will give you the peace of mind you need to haul your passengers around with confidence. There are many advanced safety features on the Ascent, starting with the EyeSight driver assistance tech suite, which includes pre-collision braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and lane departure with sway warning. It essentially functions as a secondary set of eyes on the road ahead, helping to prevent collisions and keeping you and your loved ones safe.

Subaru is renowned for its standard symmetrical all-wheel drive (AWD) system, which gives the Ascent more stability and traction control in difficult road conditions, thereby beefing up your safety while you drive. You can also rely on blind-spot detection and rear cross-traffic alert to help you avoid potential crashes by alerting you to vehicles that are driving in your blind-spot or that are approaching from the side when you’re in reverse.

Subaru designed the Ascent with a high-strength steel frame, which is engineered to absorb the energy of an impact and direct it away from the cabin, which helps protect occupants from harm in the event of a collision. The advanced crash mitigation system has multiple airbags, including front, side-impact, and curtain airbags, which come together to create a comprehensive system of protection during an accident.

It's also important to highlight the fact that the Subaru Ascent consistently garners high safety ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Given all these accolades and safety features, you get peace of mind knowing Subaru is out to protect you and your passengers in the Ascent.

The Warranties Behind a New Subaru Ascent

Subaru provides extra confidence to buyers with its generous warranty coverage. The Basic Warranty covers the Subaru Ascent for three years or 36,000 miles (whichever comes first) for all major vehicle components minus normal wear and tear. The Powertrain Warranty covers the transmission, engine, and AWD system for five years or 60,000 miles, while the five-year, unlimited mileage Limited Rust-Through Warranty protects the Ascent against corrosion perforation.

Additionally, Subaru gives you 24/7 roadside assistance for three years or 36,000 miles with services such as jump-starts and towing—things you might need in case you experience unexpected issues while driving. Subaru also covers wear items such as wiper blades and brake pads for the first three years or 36,000 miles, which lessens the cost of routine maintenance.

Shop for a Used Ascent

Buying used comes with a host of benefits, which makes it popular for many drivers to shop this way for their vehicles. In addition to a wonderful selection of versatile models, you’ll also get to enjoy better prices and more options. Choosing models with the features you really want, instead of just what you can afford, is one of the main reasons why shoppers choose to buy a used Ascent. The Ascent hasn’t been on the market long, which means that even a model a few years old will showcase impeccable tech and modern design that drivers desire.

You’ll also have the peace of mind in knowing that you’re getting a quality vehicle, as Subarus are known for their reliability and long life on the road. Lower payments, lower down payments, and lower insurance rates tend to be the norm when buying used, which is why more shoppers gravitate toward this option. When you want to get the car you really need at a price you can be proud of, shopping from the used inventory at Williams Subaru will allow you to be happy with your purchase in every way possible.

Major Competitors of the Subaru Ascent

In the highly competitive SUV market, the Subaru Ascent faces off against several worthy competitors, so there are some major rivals you may have already considered.

The Honda Pilot is one of the Ascent’s biggest rivals with its spaciously designed interior, a slew of advanced safety features, and a notoriously cozy ride quality. The Toyota Highlander is another strong contender with its high resale value and reliability; it competes well in terms of cargo capacity and seating, and it offers a hybrid powertrain option for those looking for respectable fuel efficiency.

Another rival is the Ford Explorer, which is known for its comfy ride, powerful powertrain options, and ample versatility; hybrid powertrains are likewise available, and there is a lot of advanced tech through the cabin. Finally, the Chevy Traverse’s roomy cabin with seating for eight is a major rival of the Ascent; it is a budget-friendly option that offers a smooth ride quality and a generous driver assistance tech suite.

While these competitors have some good qualities, the Ascent sets itself apart with standard all-wheel drive, tons of strength, and an abundance of safety features. The choice will boil down to your specific preferences, but the Ascent is undeniably a formidable contender in this segment.
