Durability and Longevity
Over 97% of Subarus sold within the past ten years are still roadworthy today, and the Ascent will undoubtedly continue that tradition of quality and durability. These vehicles are built in the US for maximum quality, and every Ascent will become a treasured member of the family.
Symmetrical AWD and a Boxer Engine
Every Ascent comes with standard symmetrical AWD (all-wheel drive). This always-on system is designed to evenly distribute power for maximum traction in any weather, and it creates impressive efficiency, great stability, and swift responses in all sorts of road conditions. The new direct injection boxer engine offers 260hp and 277 lb. ft. of torque, and with a 19.3-gallon fuel tank, any destination is in reach.
X-Mode and Ground Clearance
The Ascent comes standard with 8.7” of ground clearance and X-Mode, which uses the Symmetrical AWD system to provide maximum traction on slick roads. The X-Mode system also provides hill descent assistance for confidence and stability when coming down difficult grades.
5000-lb. Tow Rating
The 2019 Subaru Ascent near Gulfport, MS has the highest towing capacity of any of Subaru’s past or present offerings. An optional Class III hitch and a wide range of Thule rack accessories allow drivers to bring all the gear they’ll need for their weekend adventures.
Comfortable, Roomy Interior
The Ascent is so roomy that it will become the family’s mobile headquarters. With almost 154 cu. ft. of passenger room plus plenty of cargo space and under-floor storage, the 2019 Subaru Ascent has enough room for the entire family and their gear. Wide rear door openings allow passengers to get in and out easily, and all three seating rows are covered in soft materials for a premium appearance and feel. With 19 bottle and cup holders, everyone’s drinks are safe and close by.
USB Charging and Wi-Fi Connectivity
With optional onboard Wi-Fi connectivity, passengers can easily share and stream their favorite content. With up to eight USB inputs distributed throughout the cabin, everyone will be able to keep their devices connected and charged.
Powered Rear Gate
The optional powered rear gate may be closed or opened with a button push, via dashboard-mounted controls, or the liftgate itself, which makes it easier to get into the cargo hold with both hands full. In limited clearance situations, the gate’s opening height is adjustable.
EyeSight Driver Assistance Technology
Offered as standard equipment for the first time on the 2019 Subaru Ascent, the EyeSight driver assistance suite observes traffic movement, warns the driver when they move outside their lane, and maximizes cruise control. Pre-collision braking can apply the full force of the brakes to bring the vehicle to a stop in an emergency, and the rest of the system gives the driver an extra set of eyes that’s always on the road.
StarLink Multimedia System
With standard Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Pandora integration, plus SiriusXM satellite radio, the StarLink multimedia system connects drivers and passengers to podcasts, music, navigation, and more. Hands-free phone operation and wireless pairing allow for easy and safe access to popular contents and apps, including Magellan, Yelp, and iHeartRadio. Available options include a larger, 8” touchscreen and a voice-activated, built-in TomTom navigation system.
All-Around Visibility
The smart rearview mirror on the 2019 Ascent uses a purpose-built camera to provide visibility when the view is blocked, and the standard reverse camera offers additional safety when backing up. Furthermore, an optional 180-degree frontal camera gives drivers the reassurance that the path ahead is clear and safe.
Security and Safety
The latest security system includes auto collision notification, which alerts first responders upon airbag deployment, and emergency assistance to help drivers when they encounter roadside troubles. The new remote start feature, accessible via a smartphone app, ensures that the vehicle is always comfortable and ready to go. Finally, the Safety and Security Plus service offers concierge-level help with restaurant reservations, navigation, and service appointment scheduling.
High Beam Assistance and Steering-Responsive Headlights
With optional LED steering responsive headlights, drivers get a clear look around every corner, because the lights track along with every turn. Optional high beam assistance can seamlessly switch the lights between their low and high settings when there’s oncoming traffic, making it safer for the driver and others on the road.
