Drivability
The Subaru Ascent was built to haul around the most precious cargo there, you and your family. To aid with this, manufacturers equipped the Ascent with standard all-wheel drive. We found that this helps drivers handle the SUV while navigating treacherous weather conditions or bad roads near Brewster, NY, especially compared to SUVs of a similar size that only have dual-wheel drive.
The Ascent is also equipped with an engine powerful enough to move its weight up steep slopes and through the snow. The vehicle's turbocharged engine delivers enough thrust and power to make undergoing just about any journey feel doable. Plus, the vehicle is outfitted with over 8.7-inches of ground clearance, so navigating puddles, snow, and slush feel pretty easy most of the time.
Safety
Now that we've discussed how the Ascent drives, let's discuss how safe it is. Manufacturers at Subaru have never cut corners regarding safety, and it seems like the Ascent fits that trend. The Ascent is outfitted with Subaru's EyeSight technology, which helps drivers stay aware of their surroundings around Courtland Manor. Even when navigating tough traffic situations like tiny urban streets or slippery highways during a storm.
Safety tech like Pre-Collision Braking can make a big difference in a risky situation, but it isn't the only line of defense drivers have in the Ascent. Preemptive safety measures like adaptive cruise control work to help drivers stay moving along with traffic at all times.
Other driver-assistance measures include lane-keeping assistance, which helps ensure you're never drifting out of your lane. Driving while tired isn't recommended, but at least when you have to, Subaru EyeSight is there to help.
Comfortability & Overall Convenience
While we all appreciate how important a vehicle's safety tech and features are, we also know that comfort and convenience features can play an important role in our lives. A lot of us spend much of our lives driving around Westchester, so any time that a manufacturer can make the driver or passenger's experience more enjoyable, that's a big deal to us.
The Ascent offers three rows of comfortable seating with a decent amount of head and legroom -- even in the third row, which is smaller than the first or second. The climate control inside the Ascent is aided by quality ventilation placement and an open, airy cabin that never feels stuffy. Even with a full load of passengers, the air will remain fresh with this particular piece of planning.
