Why the Subaru Ascent Works as a Vermont Family SUV
Southern Vermont drivers often need one vehicle to handle school runs, winter weather, highway trips, outdoor gear, passengers, and changing road conditions. The Ascent combines a large three-row cabin with the Subaru capability features many Bennington-area drivers already look for.
Standard Symmetrical AWD
Every current Ascent includes Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive for traction across changing road and weather conditions.
8.7 Inches of Ground Clearance
Standard 8.7-inch ground clearance helps when dealing with snow accumulation, uneven roads, campsites, and rougher surfaces.
Seven- or Eight-Passenger Seating
Choose second-row captain's chairs for seven passengers or a second-row bench configuration for seating up to eight.
260-Horsepower Turbo Engine
The current Ascent uses a turbocharged 2.4-liter SUBARU BOXER engine producing 260 horsepower and 277 lb.-ft. of torque.
Up to 75.6 Cubic Feet of Cargo
Fold the second and third rows in different combinations to create space for luggage, skis, camping equipment, pets, or home-project supplies.
5,000-Pound Towing Capacity
The current Ascent is rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped, giving families more flexibility for recreational equipment.
3-Row Flexibility for Real Family Use
The reason to shop the Ascent instead of a smaller Subaru SUV is simple: passenger and cargo flexibility. Subaru gives the Ascent three rows of usable seating, wide rear-door openings, USB charging access across all three rows, and multiple ways to fold the rear seating when cargo takes priority.
31.7 inches of third-row legroom Enough published third-row space to make the back row useful for more than occasional emergency seating.
17.8 cu. ft. behind the third row Useful cargo capacity remains available even when all three seating rows are in use, depending on configuration.
Up to 153.2 cu. ft. passenger volume The Ascent gives families the largest passenger-space format in Subaru's current SUV lineup.
