- Powertrain/efficiency: Every 2024 Ascent has a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine making 260 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 277 pound-feet of torque between 2,000 and 4,800 rpm, and when equipped with 20-inch wheels, the Ascent’s official EPA fuel economy ratings are 19 mpg city, 25 mpg highway, and 21 mpg in combined driving.
