The 2020 Subaru Ascent

There is a lot to love about a new Subaru and there is even more for Painesville drivers to love about the biggest and most powerful Subaru SUV, the Ascent. This 3-row SUV just hit the road last year and has quickly become the go-to SUV for busy families with standard safety features, spirited performance, and the ability to adapt to whatever life throws your way.

Subaru Safety Features:

Safety has always been one of many things that Subaru has excelled at and one of the most important features a new SUV has to offer Painesville families. Luckily, the Subaru Ascent comes standard with the best-rated driver assist package on the road and Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system for a commanding grip on the road in less than ideal conditions. Subaru EyeSight Driver Assist Technology is the combination of several advanced safety features that have been proven to reduce rear-end collisions that result with injuries by an impressive 85%. The Ascent also has a 5-Star Overall Safety Rating and IIHS Superior Front Crash Prevention rating. Another collection of safety features that the Ascent is available with is STARLINK Safety & Security.

But those aren't all of the safety features that the 2020 Subaru Ascent has to offer. There is also standard Rear Seat Reminder to alert drivers to double-check the back seat for children or pets. Additional safety features of the Ascent also include High Beam Assist, Reverse Automatic Braking, 180-Front View Camera, Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert.

Go Anywhere Performance:

The Subaru BOXER engine and standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive put the 2020 Ascent in a league of its own with go-anywhere capability as well as impressive power and fuel economy. The 2.4L turbo BOXER engine generates 260 horsepower, can tow up to 5,000 lbs. and gets 27 highway mpg. with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Many other 3-row SUVs can't offer the same level of power and fuel efficiency when equipped with their less capable all-wheel-drive systems. The Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system is always on and continually supplying power to all four wheels to maintain ideal stability, traction, and control regardless of terrain or conditions. X-Mode is another standard performance feature of the 2020 Ascent that works in tandem with the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system to enhance performance when taking the road less traveled by optimizing transmission ratios and engine output to reduce individual wheel spin for more traction and stability on low-friction surfaces.
