The 2021 Subaru Ascent is a great vehicle for large families. The Ascent has a long list of safety features, including standard driver-assist technology.
The midsize SUV has an upscale interior and plenty of space for people and cargo, a long list of standard features, and excellent safety ratings.
With all-wheel drive and Subaru’s Boxer engine standard, the Ascent is also an excellent option for people in snowy climates who frequently travel on rough terrain or dirt roads.
And it’s powered by a turbocharged engine, something new for Subaru (although something we’ve seen from rivals such as Volkswagen and Audi).
All 2021 Ascent models now come standard with automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and lane-centering technology.
All of these systems are part of Subaru’s EyeSight Driver Assist Technology suite.
