4 Amazing Features of the 2024 Subaru Ascent

From advanced safety technology to spacious comfort, the 2024 Subaru Ascent is packed with impressive features that make it a standout in the SUV market.

1. Powerful Performance Through Expert Engineering

All 2024 Ascents house a 2.4-liter four-cylinder 16-valve DOHC turbocharged SUBARU BOXER engine made with aluminum alloy. These engine specs grant the 2024 Ascent 260 horsepower and 277 lb.-ft. of torque. The included Dual Active Valve Control System is Subaru’s take on variable-valve-timing technology, and this system rotates the Subaru’s camshafts with hydraulic pressure to ensure efficient valve timing and optimal camshaft positioning. The standard Lineartronic continuously variable transmission includes an eight-speed manual mode you can control with paddle shifters.

2. Superior Traction and Braking

Several of the latest traction programs, such as X-MODE, are constantly working beneath the Ascent’s surface, contributing to the SUV’s unbeatable handling. X-MODE adjusts the Subaru’s engine, transmission, all-wheel-drive system, brakes, and throttle response to provide maximum maneuverability when traveling through snow, mud, or rain. The mode also implements Hill Descent Control to prevent speeding up when going downhill.

The standard Vehicle Dynamics Control program is always monitoring the Ascent’s g-forces, steering, wheels, and brakes to detect differences between the SUV’s intended path and actual path, reducing engine/braking power to get the Subaru back on track. The onboard Traction Control System and Active Torque Vectoring program can apply braking force to individual wheels for better traction and cornering. All 2024 Ascents include four-wheel ventilated disc brakes, Brake Assist, and a Brake Override System.

3. A Spacious and Luxurious Interior

The eight-occupant SUV is one of the largest in its class, featuring a whopping 153.2 cubic feet of passenger volume. The seating arrangement includes two three-person benches in the second and third rows, in addition to the driver’s and front passenger’s seats.

Both benches are split 60/40 with seat backs that can fold down. With the third-row bench folded down, the Ascent boasts 43.5 cubic feet of cargo space. With both the second- and third-row benches folded, you can enjoy over 75 cubic feet of space for your belongings. This year’s Subaru Ascent features no fewer than 19 cupholders, one of the most in the SUV class.

4. Cutting-Edge Cabin Technology

The cabin’s infotainment system takes the form of an 11.6-inch SUBARU STARLINK Multimedia Plus screen. This infotainment hub includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, SiriusXM, Travel Link, and Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity/audio integration. Higher trims boast built-in navigation, 4G Wi-Fi capabilities, and Harman Kardon audio systems.

Each 2024 Ascent comes with Subaru’s EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, a suite of safety features that includes Automatic Emergency Steering, Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control, Pre-Collision Braking, Lane Centering, Lane Keep Assist, and Lane Departure and Sway Warnings.
