Performance & Capability Rooted in Confidence
The heart of this Ascent is a 2.4L H-4 gasoline direct injection engine, featuring an intercooled turbo that delivers a robust 260HP. This aluminum engine block is paired with a Lineartronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) with an 8-speed manual mode and Sequential shift with steering wheel controls, ensuring smooth power delivery whether you are merging onto the highway or navigating suburban streets. Because we live in a region where the weather can change in an instant, the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system provides full-time traction, while the Driver selectable drivetrain mode allows you to tailor the vehicle's response to the road conditions.
The mechanical integrity of the Ascent is further enhanced by an independent front and rear suspensionâ"utilizing a strut front and double wishbone rear designâ"to provide a stable, comfortable ride for all seven passengers. Technical features like the engine oil cooler and transmission oil cooler speak to Subaru's expertise in building durable vehicles that stand the test of time.
