1. It’s Adventure-Ready 

Like all Subaru vehicles, the 2024 Ascent boasts the automaker’s signature symmetrical all-wheel drivetrain and comes with a 2.4L turbocharged SUBARU BOXER engine that offers the power and traction you need to tackle all terrains.

The 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque also provide a towing capacity of 5,000 lbs on all trim levels except for the Base model, which is more than enough for pulling a pop-up camper or boat trailer. With these features, packing all you need and taking your loved ones on an impromptu getaway has never been easier.

2. X-MODE for Optimized Performance

Whether you’re driving across the city or conquering the great outdoors, the standard X-MODE optimizes traction on low-friction surfaces so you can drive confidently on slippery roads.

In select trim levels, a dual-function X-MODE system enhances the Ascent with terrain-specific modes, including Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud for enhanced traction on challenging off-road surfaces, including loose sand so you can explore California’s deserts without worries.

3. Designed to Fit Crew and Cargo

The 2024 Ascent is the perfect SUV for big families or epic adventures with your buddies. The entry trims boast a standard 8-seat configuration with comfortable 60/40 split-fold benches in the second and third rows. An ample cargo area of 17.8 cubic feet behind the third row offers plenty of space for groceries or camping essentials.

The cargo capacity can expand up to 75.6 cubic feet behind the front row, giving you plenty of space for bulky items. The higher trim levels offer enhanced passenger comfort with a standard 7-seat configuration.

4. Advanced Driver Assistance Technologies

Each Subaru Ascent model boasts the EyeSight Driver Assist technology package that enhances the trim with a suite of driver assistance and safety features, such as collision avoidance systems, lane management functions, adaptive cruise control, and emergency braking. The higher trims include additional features, such as blind-spot monitoring and the DriverFocus distraction mitigation system.

5. Innovative Infotainment System 

With the SUBARU STARLINK multimedia system, keeping your crew connected and entertained is a breeze. The entry trims boast the Plus version of the system that includes an 11.6-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth connectivity for seamless media streaming from your compatible devices, and hands-free smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
