2021 Subaru Ascent the biggest Subaru ever.
The 2021 Ascent is built for your biggest family adventures, with three rows of flexible seating for seven or eight passengers, standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, and up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity[1]. Standard EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology[2] gives you an extra set of eyes on the road and the confidence that your family is safe and protected. Its state-of the-art safety is recognized by the experts: The Ascent is a 2020 IIHS Top Safety Pick with Steering Responsive Headlights.
Built to Last
The Ascent is well-built in the U.S.A. for long-lasting quality. And with 97% of Subaru vehicles sold in the last 10 years still on the road today[3], you can count on it being part of your family for all the adventures ahead. That legendary reliability is one reason why Subaru is Kelley Blue Book's Most Trusted Brand for six years running[4].
Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and up to 27 MPG**
Designed for optimal balance and an even distribution of power for maximum traction, standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive makes for exceptional stability, impressive efficiency, and a quick response to driving conditions.
The standard direct-injection turbocharged SUBARU BOXER® engine combines the power of turbocharging and the efficiency of direct injection to deliver 260 horsepower. With over 500 miles of highway driving range[5], almost any destination is within reach.
8.7 Inches of Ground Clearance and X-MODE®
Conquer rough terrain with 8.7 inches of ground clearance and standard X-MODE, which optimizes the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system for maximum traction on slippery surfaces. It's a combination of capability features the Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, and Ford Explorer can't match. X-MODE also incorporates Hill Descent Control for stability and confidence when descending more difficult grades.
High-Strength Steel Frame for a Quiet Ride
The Ascent is engineered with a high-strength steel frame, which provides rigidity, long-lasting quality, and a quiet cabin. The Ascent platform is designed to provide exceptional crash safety, a quiet interior, and excellent driving feel - now and for years to come.
Spacious, Comfortable Interior for 7 or 8 Passengers
The Ascent gives you the option of second-row bench seating for up to eight or available captain's chairs with space for seven. With up to 153.5 cubic feet of passenger volume, extra-wide rear door openings, and ample cargo space plus underfloor storage, there's room for every passenger and all their gear.
Standard EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology
EyeSight has been found to reduce the rate of rear-end crashes with injuries by up to 85%[7].
EyeSight monitors traffic movement, optimizes cruise control, and warns you when you're swaying outside your lane. The Automatic Pre-Collision Braking feature can even apply full braking force and bring you to a complete stop in emergency situations[8]. It's just one of the reasons why the 2020 Ascent received the highest possible rating for front crash prevention from IIHS.
