2020 Subaru Ascent –  Now Americans have long loved the outback. So, when Subaru introduced the three-row ascent, it wasn’t a surprise and that it has been very successful. They had trouble keeping up with demand all through the 2019 model. And now, today, we are already with the 2020 version.

Exterior

So, if that all said, let’s see how the ascent stacks up against the competition. So, getting started with the exterior styling. Even though the rise is more significant than any Subaru before, 2020 Subaru Ascent still looks like a Subaru It shares very similar cues to other models.

But stuff like the grille has been beefed up to make it look a bit tougher. The headlights also have a recognizable design. Especially if you choose the limited or touring, which come with these full LED lights and the LED fog lights at the bottom, the base and premium models, don’t have fog lights and instead come with halogen headlights.

We are moving on from the front of the rest of the 2020 Subaru Ascent design. Follows the same pattern of making the styling look bulky and more outdoorsy than the average class entry. You have two chunky taillights, which are partially LED connected by a chrome strip.

Then at the bottom, all models have dual exhaust outlets that set off the design. We’re down here to mention about tow rating of 5000 pounds on all but the base trim, which can only handle 2000. The design of the ascent is overall conservative, but still handsome looking just like most of Subaru’s other products.

Now turning our attention to the wheels, most of the trim levels do come with different designs. We have the most significant option, the 20-inch gray contrast alloys, which comes standard on limited and touring. And it can also be optioned onto the premium via the sporty package. Usually, the premium and base model comes with 18-inch alloys either with or without black contrast inserts.

Heading on up to the mirrors, there are three possible combinations black on the base model body-colored on the middle trims, and the top touring gets satin silver ones. All but the base model does also get blind-spot monitoring.

Finally, 2020 Subaru Ascent loads of advanced safety features standard on every ascent. The eyesight safety suite includes automatic pre-collision braking adaptive cruise control and Lane Keeping Assist Plus. You also have Auto high beam headlights and reverse automatic braking on the limited and touring. This all together makes it one of the most comprehensive suites in the class.

Interior

But anyway, that’s it for the outside, so now let’s go ahead and hop inside the cabin. So only the top two trims of the Subaru scent will come standard with their smart interest system. Of course, the same design languages last year since it was all new. Now, like most other Subaru models, they do keep it very simple when it comes to interior material and color combinations.

However, if you go for the 2020 Subaru Ascent Touring, you do have the exclusive option of Java Brown, And that’s also the only trim that will get wood accents. Now turning over here to your door trim, it is very nicely finished. You’ve got a lot of contrasting materials, but you look adorable.

Now on your limited and touring a sense, press the button to start. When you do, you will find this eight-inch display fire upon all. But the base model has a six and a half-inch one instead. But as you can see, it’s got a ton of different information. Some basic stuff like your trip information, but you do have some more advanced things like your weather or percent of acceleration.

In front of that, we’ve got to ambient lit cup holders right there. We have another huge bin. This is definitely a great place to stake a cellphone and then way back there. There is a 12-volt outlet and up in front of that.

You’ve got your two charging USB ports as well as an aux jack. Now a lot of you guys will appreciate that Subaru’s giving you this much space and still kept a traditional shifter. All you got to do is pull back for drive bump over to the left for a manual shifting mode. And you do have paddle shifters standard across the board.

You’ve got to eat simulated gears even though this is a continuously variable transmission heading into reverse, of course, as you’d expect we do have a standard backup camera, and 2020 Subaru Ascent has also nicely included current trajectory. We have rear cross-traffic alert as well as parking sensors here on this limited model, and then if you went for the touring, you would also have a 180-degree front camera system.

We have popular package 23, and that throws in the Harman Kardon sound system. That’s usually reserved for just the touring that has 792 watts and 14 speakers. Now the quality of this system, that brings us here to our Subaru StarLink system.

You will also notice that all the models come standard with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. You can manage that instead of the startling system if you prefer. Now, this specific limited also comes equipped with navigation. That’s part of that option package, but usually, only the Touring would come standard with the navigation system.

Let’s get into the powertrain information.  You’ve got just one version across the board, and that’s going to be their brand-new turbocharged boxer four engines. It is a four-cylinder, and that makes 260 horsepower, and 277 pounds of power is routed exclusively through a continuously variable transmission.

And like we already mentioned earlier in the review, you have eight simulated gears that you can’t switch between with the standard power shifters. Of course, as with every single Subaru symmetrical all-wheel drive is standard equipment and like we mentioned. That does produce since there’s only one version.

We have two different fuel economy is one for the lower end trams with the smaller wheels that are going to be 21 City, 27 highway, 23 combined. If you go for the top trims with the bigger rims, that’s 20-city 26 highway 22 combined.

The initial acceleration very impressed by that Like a lot of Subaru’s, the throw response is tuned to be pretty aggressive. Because of that, it feels surprisingly fast off the line now once you get going. Of course, this is not going to be a super exhilarating vehicle as a family crossover. After all, the acceleration feels definitely right in line with the V6 competitors. Yeah, it definitely it’s going pretty well from the start.
