Best SUV

Very roomy inside, easy controls and also a lot of leg room in the back seats. And it’s a Subaru, what else is there to say? I love all the improvements to the 2019 model, like the car play app, the opening of the gas tank (by tapping), the automatic door lock. My previous Subaru was a 2015 and these features were unavailable. I am so glad Subaru finally came back with a third row SUV after discontinuing the Tribeca.

Great SUV

We've only owned for two weeks but so far my wife and I are very, very happy with our new Ascent. It is a very high-tech vehicle with lots of safety features. The interior is very well appointed and comfortable. Fuel economy so far is better than expected.

Can't wait to drive it home!

The Ascent is a step up from my current Outback. I wanted something with more room. I love the safety of the Subaru and I'm so glad that they have come out with a larger vehicle.

A Great SUV

This car is loaded with features, but more importantly it is a Subaru... and to me that spells reliability. The car is well appointed, handles like a dream, and is quite responsive for a fairly large 4-cylinder vehicle.

I have ascended to the pinnacle with the Ascent

This car is awesome. First the Touring package is well worth the increased cost. The front facing camera and camera rear view mirror make everything so much easier. It is an extremely roomy vehicle with tech for days. The ride is second to none and one of the most comfortable vehicles I have ever driven. Would recommend this vehicle to everyone, great experience so far.

Best Vehicle Ever

I love this car! It drives so easily and the safety features are wonderful. It takes a few miles on the road to adjust but if you drive like you are supposed to - use your blinkers, etc. it is easy. It is comfortable and everything is intuitive to use. Love, Love, Love

The perfect SUV

The Subaru Ascent is perfect! While it has a ton of space, it does NOT drive like a big SUV. It is zippy but fuel efficient and every little detail Subaru put into this car is flawless. This is my 4th Subaru and they will forever be our car brand.

Drives amazing, smooth like butter!

Beautiful car, yet great in all weather conditions! The interior is well designed. The two tone leather is beautiful! Turning is so smooth. Test drive one and you will love it!

Best mainstream SUV there is.

The Ascent does not disappoint. The ride is outstanding and there's plenty of power. I own a Limited and there are plenty of bells and whistles to satisfy most drivers.

Enjoying my car

I came from a odyssey and decided I was ready to switch to suv after 12 years of having a van. With two teenage boys and two younger boys under 8. We fit comfortably.
