Power is another water bottle in Ascent’s backpack. A trip out Holy Hill way proved its grip and stability in sweeping turns littered with falling leaves, and its comfort on some questionable rural roads. Most large utes feel big and somewhat cumbersome, not the Ascent. Handling too is nimble considering this is a 196.8-inch long vehicle. I own an Outback and the ride in the longer wheelbase Ascent is light years smoother, not that the Outback is harsh. Plus this one was Autumn Green Metallic, which means a somewhat gray green with some sparkle, but a shade that mostly serves as forest camouflage.Īscent is easily the most comfortable Subaru. The effect is somewhat slimming and stealthy. Even the Onyx’s special 20-inch aluminum alloy wheels are black. To sexy up its models Subaru has added Onyx editions, which means trim is blacked out, such as the grille, roof rails, wheel well cladding, mirrors, a rear spoiler, and exterior badging. The tester had second-row captain’s chairs, so could carry seven. It’s unique too in that while being only modestly big it can seat up to eight people, the third row being best for short hauls and assuming a second-row bench seat. Subie’s latest love is the Ascent, its large SUV, although it’s only moderately large, keeping in mind that its customers likely won’t want to pull a Queen Mary-size trailer to the campgrounds. I mean baseball and apple pie had already been tried. National Parks and dogs are universally loved and tying your sales to either seems a no-brainer. Subaru has this love-all thing going with the environment, and who can blame it.
