Introducing the 2024 Subaru Ascent: Family-Friendly SUV
The Base trim is outfitted with a 2.4-liter turbocharged motor, which is designed to maximize the fuel efficiency of the engine by increasing the motor’s air intake. This powertrain produces 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque, so you can expect responsive acceleration and a decent hauling ability of 2,000 lbs. This model gets 26 MPG on the freeway and 20 MPG in the city.
One of the standout features of this model is the Subaru Symmetrical AWD system, which continually adjusts the traction of all four wheels to provide the smoothest and most stable handling, even in inclement weather. This model also comes with X-MODE, a special driving mode that increases the performance of the AWD system, engine output, and transmission system.
Safety
The Ascent Base comes with EyeSight driver assistance safety technology such as Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control. This cruise control system continually reads the speed of the vehicle ahead of you to adjust the SUV’s speed to match the flow of traffic. This feature also has lane-centering technology for steering support to keep you centered in your lane.
The Pre-Collision Braking system scans the road ahead of you to identify potential collisions and emits an alert when obstacles are detected. If you don’t respond to the alert promptly, the SUV can automatically hit the brakes to avoid a collision. An Automatic Emergency Steering system can activate if automatic braking isn’t adequate to stop an accident, since this safety feature can help you steer around obstacles.
Infotainment
The Base model comes with an 11.6-inch STARLINK multimedia system. This infotainment unit gives drivers access to wireless smartphone-integrated apps through Apple and Android devices, along with hands-free Bluetooth phone calls, text messaging, and audio streaming. Standard entertainment options for this model are HD Radio and Sirius XM Radio. This infotainment system also comes with SiriusXM Travel Link technology, so you can get real-time traffic and weather updates.
Amenities
The entry-level Ascent has a three-zone climate control system that can manage individual settings for all three rows of seating. The cargo area has an underfloor storage tray so you can tuck away your roadside emergency kit or hide precious belongings securely out of sight.
The Ascent Base has everything you need for an incredibly safe and practical driving experience. If you think this reliable full-size SUV is the right match for your family’s needs, get in touch with Royal Moore Subaru in Hillsboro, OR.
