With its new 2019 Subaru Ascent unveiled at the last International Auto Show in Los Angeles last November, Subaru is back in the midsize SUV segment, a segment that the Japanese manufacturer abandoned a few years ago. Finally, Subaru has the perfect mid-range SUV to fit the whole family (and all the outdoor gear too).

With the new Ascent, Subaru will be able to meet the needs of families and midsize SUV buyers. From camping, to sports games, to road trips, this car has go you covered.

We know you’re as excited as we are. So without further ado, here are three things to know about the new 2019 Subaru Ascent:

2019 Subaru Ascent Space

It will be much more spacious than the Subaru Tribeca it replaces. Indeed, the Ascent offers a range of improvements including a larger cargo space for both passengers and luggage. The new Ascent will be by far the largest SUV available in Subaru history. It can accommodate up to 8 passengers.

Safety

It will be very safe too. Indeed, the new Ascent will impress with its advanced safety technologies that include the Eyesight lineup of driver assistance system, and a new platform built with much stronger materials.

This platform allows the new Ascent to offer better visibility since the pillars can be thinner without affecting the ability to resist and protect in the event of an accident.

Performance

Last but not least, be aware that the new 2019 Subaru Ascent is powered by a brand new 2.4-liter turbo four-cylinder engine that develops 277 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque. Powered by this brand new engine, the Ascent promises a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds, as well as one of the best fuel savings in its niche. Hard to ask better.
