Why it stands out
The 2021 Subaru Ascent is a standout in the midsize SUV segment thanks to its blend of space, safety, and Subaru's renowned all-wheel-drive capability. With a spacious cabin that allows up to eight passengers and ample cargo room—ranging from 17.8 cubic feet to 86.5 cubic feet when seats are folded—the Ascent caters perfectly to family needs. Its turbocharged 2.4-liter engine generates a robust 260 horsepower, ensuring decent performance for both city driving and highway merging. Safety is another core strength; the Ascent was named an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ and comes equipped with Subaru's EyeSight suite of driver-assistance features, including automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control. While the styling may not win any awards, the Ascent excels in practicality, making it an appealing option for those loyal to the Subaru brand looking for a three-row SUV.

We purchased a 2021 Ascent Limited, really enjoying the drive. We fell in love with the standard safety features and the awd system; which is rated best in class. The interior is comfortable and fits our family of three and two dogs well.
