Why it stands out
The 2023 Subaru Ascent distinguishes itself with its spacious interior and exceptional safety features. Designed for families, it offers configurations for seven or eight passengers, and a commendable cargo capacity of up to 75.6 cubic feet when the seats are folded down. The Ascent has garnered a reputation for being an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+ every year since its debut. With a standard all-wheel-drive system and capable towing capacity, this SUV ensures that families can handle both everyday errands and outdoor adventures. Its 2.4-liter Boxer turbocharged engine delivers 260 horsepower, promoting a blend of performance and fuel efficiency on the highway where it can achieve up to 26 mpg. While it excels in safety and versatility, some owners have noted cramped third-row seating and a less-than-stellar interior design as areas for improvement.

Having recently test drove a brand new 2024 Ascent I will have to say it drives very nice. Power was decent, fuel mileage better than average and handles well. There are only two downsides of the vehicle. 1st the space is limited and it is very close knit for a family of more than four people. The 3rd row would work well for small children, but is pretty much useless for adults for long distances. When you review interior space comparisons, it is most closely resembles the space of a Toyota Highlander or Kia Sorrento. 2nd issue is the seats. I am only 5’9” tall and find that the second and third rows are narrow for an 8 seat vehicle and the driver and front passenger seats (although look comfortable) are hard, and thigh room front to back is overly short. The passenger seat in the Subaru crossovers also feels like it slants forward making you feel like you will slide out of the seat. I have driven the Subaru on a 11 hour drive and my hips were numb less than two hours into the trip and the front leg room side to side was two narrow for me to get into a comfortable position. Overall the vehicle drives nice, has a good sound system and the updated tech is intuitive and easy to use. I prefer replaceable buttons and switches for my HVAC controls and for my off road controls, but this is 2024 and I will assume the longevity of the new electronic controls will / should last as long as the drivetrain . I like Subarus and have had great luck in the past with them, but I hate their seats.
