2021 Subaru Ascent Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

I haven't any issues with the ascent yet. The performance of the car has so far exceeded my expectations in handling, power and reliability. The gas mileage has not been great but it was expected. I haven't tried towing anything yet so that is my next test.

I am very pleased with my Subaru ascent. I had a 2019 Subaru ascent and I upgraded to the 2021 due to 0% financing. It is easy to drive and I love the third row seat because it is a full seat and not a small one like other cars. I like all of the added features which are included such as heated seats heated steering wheel and all the other safety features that come standard with the Subaru ascent.

The 2021 Ascent Touring has as much luxury if not more than it's competitors (the usuals like heated and ventilated seats, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heated retractable side mirrors and heated windshield, rain sending wipers). They give you AWD though while others you must pay more. You get 8.7" ground clearance so you can offroad better than its competitors, and tow 5k for boat launches and camping trips. The ride is smooth and powerful. You are to keep at or below 4k rpms though and you won't hear the engine much and there's almost no road noise even at highway speeds. The Harman Kardon speakers are great, and the visibility is amazing. You get a higher seat position than others (Mazda) and won't be priced gouged by the dealer (Kia, Hyundai will). If the aesthetics aren't pleasing, remember it's an SUV not a race car. And for safety, it's right up there with Volvo and it's adaptive cruise control makes road trips a breeze. Zero problems.

I love my ascent it holds my family of five comfortably. Only downside is the cargo space is limited when the third row is up. It has been reliable and good on gas. This is my second Subaru and I am very happy with all the technology that comes standard.
