Spacious and Versatile Interior
One of the standout features of the 2024 Subaru Ascent's interior is its versatility in seating configurations, which allows it to accommodate up to eight passengers. The raised driving position provides enhanced visibility, making it easier for you to navigate through traffic or tackle off-road trails. When it comes to cargo space, the Ascent offers up to 75.6 cubic feet with the rear seats folded, allowing for ample room to store luggage, outdoor gear, or even furniture during a move.
Comfort and Convenience
The 2024 Subaru Ascent prioritizes comfort, offering a smooth and composed ride that makes long journeys more enjoyable for passengers. Aspiring buyers can select from eight trim levels, each coming with multiple comfort and convenient features. Common features include heated front seats, a power-adjustable driver's seat, second-row captain's chairs, hands-free passive entry, and a power-operated rear liftgate.
The available ventilated front seats ensure unmatched comfort during warm weather conditions. The tri-zone climate controls and air vents in all rows keep passengers cozy wherever your journeys take you. All trims come with 19 cup holders and underfloor storage trays as standard. These amenities enhance the overall driving experience and ensure optimal comfort and convenience.
Infotainment and Connectivity
Staying connected and entertained on the go is essential for modern families, and the 2024 Subaru Ascent delivers with its infotainment system. The standard 11.6-inch touchscreen features large, easy-to-read icons that respond quickly to input, making it simple to navigate through the various menus and settings. The Ascent also comes equipped with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration, allowing you to seamlessly connect your smartphone and access your favorite apps, music, and contacts. The available Wi-Fi hotspot capability ensures that passengers can stay connected even when on the move.
Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
Subaru is known for its commitment to safety, and the 2024 Ascent is a prime example of this dedication. All trims come standard with the EyeSight suite of driver-assistance features, which includes forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, automated emergency braking, and lane departure warning. These technologies work together to provide extra protection and help you avoid potential collisions. If you're looking for even more advanced safety features, higher trims offer options such as a surround-view camera system and reverse automatic braking, which can be especially helpful when navigating tight parking spaces or backing out of a driveway.
Dimensions and Specifications
The 2024 Subaru Ascent offers a spacious interior with a passenger volume of 148 cubic feet, ensuring that there's plenty of room for everyone to stretch out and get comfortable. The front legroom measures 42.2 inches, while the middle is 38.6 inches. The third-row seating offers 31.7 inches of legroom. Behind the third row, there's 18 cubic feet of cargo space, sufficient for everyday errands or short trips.
The Ascent measures 196.8 inches in length, 76.0 inches in width, and 71.6 inches in height and has a wheelbase of 113.8 inches. These dimensions contribute to the Ascent's overall spaciousness and stability on the road. The vehicle has a curb weight of 4,578 pounds, which is relatively lightweight for its size, helping to improve fuel efficiency and handling.
Competitive Comparison
While the 2024 Subaru Ascent is a strong contender in the midsize three-row crossover SUV segment, it does face stiff competition from rivals such as the Chevrolet Traverse. The Traverse offers more third-row passenger space and cargo capacity than the Ascent; however, the Subaru is a bit more affordable than the Traverse. Some competitors in the segment also offer a roomier, quieter, and more engaging driving experience than the Ascent. But this SUV's standard all-wheel drive, comfortable ride quality, and comprehensive safety features make it an attractive option for many buyers.
Towing and Payload Capacity
The 2024 Subaru Ascent is capable of towing up to 5,000 pounds, which is sufficient for hauling small boats, campers, or trailers. This towing capacity is competitive within the midsize three-row crossover SUV segment and allows you to bring along your favorite recreational gear on your adventures. When towing heavy loads, it's important to note that the Ascent's fuel economy may drop significantly, sometimes even into the single digits. The Ascent has a payload capacity of around 1,500 pounds, which refers to the maximum weight the vehicle can safely carry, including passengers, cargo, and any additional equipment.
Fuel Efficiency
Expect the 2024 Subaru Ascent to earn an EPA-estimated 20 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway, which is competitive for its class. In real-world testing, the Ascent has proven to be even more efficient than its EPA ratings suggest. During a 75-mph highway fuel-economy test, the Onyx Edition Limited model achieved an impressive 28 mpg, surpassing its EPA highway rating.
This real-world efficiency is better than that of some of Ascent's key rivals, such as the Kia Telluride and Chevrolet Traverse. The Subaru Ascent's fuel economy gets a boost from its lightweight construction and efficient turbocharged four-cylinder engine, helping to minimize fuel consumption without sacrificing performance of the vehicle.
