See What the Subaru Ascent has to Offer

The Subaru Ascent remains a popular option with families who enjoy owning a vehicle that has the comforts and space of a minivan in a trendy SUV package. You can choose from the standard model, the Premium, Limited or Touring models. We have the new Ascent on display at our Lake Forest Irvine Subaru facility.

Depending on personal preferences, the Ascent seats seven or eight adults comfortably with 86.5 cubic feet of cargo space. The three-row vehicle offers the choice of captain's chairs or a bench in the second row. The rear tailgate is designed especially wide for easy loading and unloading in Irvine.

Performance Features

All of the Ascent models are equipped with all-wheel-drive and turbocharged four-cylinder engines that deliver up to 260 horsepower. There is enough power to capably tow up to 5,000 pounds. Despite its size, the vehicle gets an impressive fuel rating of 27 miles per gallon in the city and up to 21 miles per gallon on the open roads of Orange County. After filling the gas tank, the Ascent travels more than 500 miles before needing to stop and refill.

The Ascent comes designed with more than eight inches of ground clearance and optional X-MODE, which enables the Ascent to conquer all types of terrain in Anaheim. Subaru created the latest models with high-strength steel, which ensures the stability and longevity of the SUV along with providing the smoothest, quietest ride possible.

Technology

All models come standard with smartphone connection capability. The touchscreen on the infotainment system boasts large, easy to read and use icons. The interior provides 19 bottle or cup holders for the convenience of all Tustin occupants. The powered panoramic moonroof lets the sunshine in by day and the twinkling of the stars by night.

When you opt for the Premium trim level, you gain the convenience of one-touch controls that turn interior lights on/off. Choose automatic high beams that monitor exterior lighting conditions and adjust from low to high and back to low beams without requiring driver intervention. The headlights on the Limited and Touring models are also designed to track and follow the path of the vehicle.

A powered tailgate is optional on the Premium model and comes standard on the Limited and Touring models. The feature enables the rear gate to open with a mere push of a button and adjusts to the desired height. Push the button again, and the tailgate closes and locks. The Touring models come equipped with folding side mirrors that additionally feature integrated turn signals.

Other optional upgrades include heated front seats and powered driver's seat. New owners might enjoy converting their SUV into a Wi-Fi hotspot or to have push-button start capability. The Limited and Touring models offer heated steering wheels and rear seats. The front passenger seats are also powered while the desired driver's seat adjustments are stored in memory.

Safety

Recently, Subaru added Rear Seat alert technology. The system provides drivers with an audible warning and a visual display to check the back seat before closing and locking the door. The Premium, Limited and Touring models offer a number of safety features including adaptive cruise control, lane keeping control, and many other driver aids.

Sensors continually monitor all sides of the Ascent. The blind-spot technology alerts the driver should a vehicle veer into the hidden zone. In this way, drivers do not accidentally change lanes and suffer a collision. The alarm system also initiates if the SUV begins changing lanes without the use of a turn signal. If sensors detect obstacles in the pathway of the Ascent, the driver receives a warning. If the driver does not immediately respond to the threat, the brakes apply themselves automatically.
