Verdict: Subaru’s flagship, the Ascent, joined the line up in 2019, as the replacement for the Tribeca.
Like some of its competitors, the Ascent, which is available in several trims, is only available with one powertrain. The turbocharged four-cylinder in the Ascent lacks the smooth sounding 6-cylinders powered by many of its competitors despite its 260-horspower engine. In fact, the Ascent sounds fussier and louder, because its attempting to do as much work as its 6-cylinder competitors.
The AWD three-row vehicle is capable of seating between 7 to 8, depending upon the configuration of the second-row. And depending upon the model selected, the Ascent can be configured with such features as 20-inch wheels, leather seating surfaces, a panoramic roof, ventilated front seats and heated second-row seats.
Moreover, for the 2024 model year, the Ascent receives an updated driver assistance system. This safety aid helps to minimize collisions, while steering the vehicle, no pun attended, closer toward autonomy.
Overall, while the Subaru lacks the luxury finesse offered by the Mazda CX-90 and the athletic styling of the SUV-like Kia Telluride, the Ascent, with its earthy image has managed to carve out it on niche, with its ability to tow up to 5,000 lbs and standard AWD capabilities.
