Elevating Family Adventures: The 2024 Subaru Ascent

The entry-level Ascent model has eight-passenger seating with second-row and third-row bench seats that can fold with a 60/40 split. With these seats, you can fold one or both seats to create customized cargo space for large items, sporting equipment, and more. 

This model has 43.5 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the second-row seats, or 75.6 cubic feet of storage space when all seats are folded flat. A convenient underfloor storage tray in the cargo area has enough capacity to store your roadside emergency kit or keep your valuable items hidden out of sight when you leave your vehicle. 

Interior Amenities

The Base model has a multi-functional three-spoke steering wheel with mounted controls for adaptive cruise control, Bluetooth pass-through phone controls, and an audio system. The steering wheel also has paddle shifters for the transmission, so you can quickly shift gears on the road. This Subaru model is outfitted with a whopping 19 cupholders to keep passenger beverages organized and in easy reach.

A tri-zone climate control system is standard for this model. With this three-zone AC unit, front and rear-seat passengers can customize the air temperature, fan speed, and the direction of the airflow. All three rows have convenient air vents to optimize air circulation through the cabin.

Infotainment Features

The Base model has an 11.6-inch multimedia touchscreen. This infotainment system is compatible with smartphone-integrated apps like Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. This Ascent model gives you access to music streaming and SMS text messaging with Bluetooth technology. Satellite radio via SiriusXM is also standard for this SUV. 

Safety Technology

A brake override system activates when the gas and brake pedal are pressed at the same time to prevent accidental acceleration. A rear vision camera is also standard for this model.
