2024 Subaru Ascent Limited

The 2024 Ascent is Subaru's three-row SUV, slotting above the Outback and competing with the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander. The turbo flat-four gives the Ascent ample punch for merging and passing, and the ride is composed on the highway. The cabin offers comfortable seating for up to eight, with a spacious second row and a usable third row for kids. Standard EyeSight safety tech includes adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist, and most trims add a large touchscreen. Leather upholstery, heated seats for both front and second-row passengers, and the 11.6-inch touchscreen set the Limited apart from the Onyx Edition below it. The 2.4L I4 makes 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque, and the CVT keeps it in the sweet spot for highway merging; expect 21 mpg combined. The Limited's 20-inch wheels and LED steering-responsive headlights are standard here, and the 5,000-pound tow rating matches the class leaders.
