No Auto Start/Stop crap here which a lot of competitors do have in their vehicles….thanks for that Subaru! 👍🏾

0-60 mph in this is 7 seconds making it slightly faster than Hyundai/Kia and Volkswagen. It’s definitely not under powered.

@botcrack 4 ай бұрын

the power liftgate buttons are on the left because most of the world is right handed so when you pull your cargo out of the back..its most likey with your right hand, meaning your left hand is free to reach up and hit the button.

I love mine, which I have had for about a month now. I have not noticed the lack of power. They have it tuned to get the torque when you need it. As for the third row, I would just as soon not have one. I keep them flat. OK for kids. One thing you did not mention is the width of the legroom up front. Some vehicles in this segment, like the Highlander, have you in a bit of a tunnel in the drivers seat. The console is right against your right knee. This has more room laterally, which is nice on a long trip, when you want to move around more. I have Onyx and that adds quite a bit to the price, but it is worth it, IMO. Sound system is great.

@tinker1148 4 ай бұрын

Agreed. The center console intrudes on leg space in the competition making it much less comfortable. Especially if you’re taller.

For a family vehicle, many of us are not looking for innovation or bells and whistles, we are looking for steadfast, reliable, uncomplicated such as analog gauges, easy controls, simplicity and a sure grip on the road. We want a subaru to be a subaru.

3rd row is t the biggest but all you need to do is adjust the second row and let all rear passengers get even space.

@hwoarang2001 3 ай бұрын

I have a 2021 Touring and it’s been great for family trips and made a joke of the snowy Vermont mountains. It does everything I need and the dog loves the 3rd row to himself. I’ve packed the in-laws into the 3rd row with the dog sitting in between the second row chairs. I’m not a fan of the cvt but the awd is reliable and predictable. Yes I would like another 20-30 hp, but this isn’t a race car.

@toddedwards4125 3 ай бұрын

Have had a 2023 touring for about 9 months (also have a 2020 outback). The boxer 4 turbo is not underpowered for this - have been impressed with it. I personally don’t use the 3rd row and keep it flat. If you are looking for something to haul 7-8 people in on a regular basis, I’d go with something else (e.g. minivan). All wheel drive is what you’d expect from a Subaru. The lane assist and adaptive cruise work well. Good value for the price….I’d buy another one for sure.

@NancyKlarman 3 ай бұрын

If I buy an Ascent, it will be for the towing capacity in a Subaru, not the 3rd row.

I wouldn't tow with it... nothing big.

@reneeann5340 17 күн бұрын

@jaimemartin6704 rated at 5k, 50% = 2.5k less 200 lbs per person, 50 lbs of luggage per person doesn't leave alot of spare room for towing much...I did see a Prius towing a steel trailer with an ATV on it the day, on I25 NB...so....😅

@jaimemartin6704 16 күн бұрын

@@reneeann5340 There was a guy in our neighborhood... had trimmers and mowers on a steel and wood trailer.. pulled it with a classic MG. I wouldn't tow with the ascent because of the CVT transmission. If it slips once, its a gonner.

@Pccpy 4 ай бұрын

I rent one (2023) in California last summer, I have 5 kids and let me tell you this thing is not underpower. If you push it, you will feel that turbo.

I got a 2022 just to avoid the screen and actually just wanted the extra rear legroom and cargo room. The other 3rd rows SUVs were just too big. We’ve fit teens in the third row with no issue but definitely not for adults

I have a 2024 Ascent. I don't think for a minute that it's under-powered. Gets me merging on the highway with no problem at all. Then again, I don't race other people or their cars. Plenty of power for me and it's supposed to tow 5,000 lbs. and that's plenty. Also love the ride.
