Like its Subaru kin, the Ascent features enormous practicality, trouble-free operation, the ultimate in winter performance, and top-of-the-line safety technology. The Subaru Ascent features a 2.4-liter turbo flat-4 power plant at the heart of its full time all-wheel drive system. The Ascent rolls down the highway consuming an average 21 city/27 highway miles per gallon.
An additional offering in the Subaru Ascent lineup, the Onyx Edition, includes 20-inch alloy wheels and black-finished trim components. LED headlights and foglights come standard on the Onyx. The Onyx trim option sports black Subaru StarTex upholstery that is easy to clean, water-repellent, and very durable. It also comes standard with an auto-dimming rearview mirror and a heated steering wheel.
What is the Subaru Ascent comparable to?
In the market of third-row SUVs, the Subaru Ascent is a proven competitor. Subaru's entry in the third-row SUV market battles against the Honda Pilot, Ford Explorer, Chevrolet Traverse, Kia Telluride, Toyota Highlander, and the newly redesigned Nissan Pathfinder. The Ascent has earned high praise versus its competitors in reliability, durability, safety, and value. Read on to see how the Subaru Ascent compares to the Nissan Pathfinder specifically.
Is a Subaru Ascent bigger than a Nissan Pathfinder?
When selecting the right SUV to meet your needs, space and storage are key considerations. The Subaru Ascent and the Nissan Pathfinder offer up a lot of passenger and cargo room. The recently redesigned Pathfinder has 16.6 cubic feet of storage space behind the third row seat, 45 cubic feet with the third seat folded down, and 80.5 cubic feet with all seats collapsed. The Subaru Ascent tops the Nissan in all three categories with a remarkable total of 153.5 feet of EPA passenger room and 86.5 feet of EPA cargo room. Who's bigger? The Subaru Ascent packs its rival away.
Is the Subaru Ascent good in the Snow?
The Subaru Ascent is equipped to battle Old Man Winter. Its 260-horsepower married to the CVT transmission is only the tip of the iceberg in regards to its winter driving capabilities. It features an active torque split function that varies power to the front and rear wheels as necessary. Subaru has armed the Ascent with its standard all-wheel drive system and has added hill-descent control and X-Mode traction system to deliver a vehicle that can handle the winter commute. The Ascent also boasts 8.7 inches of clearance to navigate through snow drifts and any other formidable obstacles on the road ahead.
How many Miles will a Subaru Ascent Last?
The Subaru Ascent outlasts its competitors. Subaru ranks above its rivals in brand loyalty with Experian reporting 96 percent of Subarus are still on the road today. The Subaru Ascent is estimated to have a lifespan in the 250,000 mile range with the right maintenance and care.
Which is better, the Subaru Ascent or the Nissan Pathfinder?
While the Nissan Pathfinder went through a recent redesign, the Subaru Ascent is still the torch-bearer when it comes to a safe, practical, reliable family SUV. Its straightforward design paired with the most standard safety features in its class, the Ascent outpaces the Pathfinder. Subaru has again ascended to the peak in value with its mid size SUV.
