The Ascent Touring is the pinnacle of the Subaru lineup, offering a sophisticated blend of rugged capability and refined luxury that fits perfectly into the lifestyle of families in the Mid-South. From the moment you pull out of your neighborhood, the presence of this vehicle is felt through its commanding stance and elegant design. It is a vehicle that understands the needs of parents who juggle sports practices, grocery runs, and the occasional quiet getaway.

This 7-passenger configuration ensures that every member of the family has their own dedicated space, reducing the friction of long drives and making every journey a more pleasant experience.

Performance & Capability Rooted in Stability

Under the hood of this 2023 Subaru Ascent Touring lies a powerhouse engineered for the diverse landscapes of the South. The 2.4L H-4 gasoline direct injection, DOHC, variable valve control, intercooled turbo engine delivers a robust 260HP, providing the confident acceleration needed when merging onto the busy interstates surrounding Memphis, TN. This Aluminum engine block is designed with a Longitudinal mounted engine orientation, which is a hallmark of Subaru engineering, contributing to a lower center of gravity and better overall balance. This balance is critical when you are navigating the winding backroads or dealing with the sudden downpours that can make local driving conditions unpredictable.

The power is managed by a sophisticated 8-speed Lineartronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) featuring Transmission electronic control and a Lock-up transmission system for optimized efficiency and smoothness. For those who enjoy a more engaged driving experience, the Sequential shift with steering wheel controls allows you to manually select gear ratios, giving you more control over the power delivery. This is particularly useful when navigating hilly terrain or when you simply want a more spirited drive. The inclusion of a Transmission oil cooler and a Transmission fluid temp warning system ensures that the drivetrain remains protected even during demanding driving scenarios, such as long summer road trips in the heat of the Mississippi sun.

What truly sets the Ascent apart is the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, providing Full-time AWD that constantly monitors traction and distributes power to the wheels with the most grip. This is further enhanced by the X-MODE selectable mode transmission, which optimizes the engine output and transmission ratio to increase engagement on slippery surfaces. Whether you are dealing with a muddy parking lot at a community festival or a rare winter dusting, the Active Torque Vectoring brake actuated limited slip differential works in tandem with the Independent front suspension and Double wishbone rear suspension to keep the vehicle planted and composed. With an EPA-estimated 19 city / 25 hwy MPG, you can enjoy this capability without constant stops at the pump.

Advanced Technology for the Modern Commute

Steering into the digital age, the 2023 Subaru Ascent Touring acts as a high-tech hub for the entire family. The centerpiece of the dashboard is the stunning 11.6 inch primary display, a high-resolution Primary monitor touchscreen that serves as the gateway to all your media and vehicle settings. With STARLINK/Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smart device wireless mirroring, your smartphone integrates seamlessly, allowing you to access your favorite playlists, podcasts, and messaging apps without ever needing to plug in a cable. This wireless freedom is complemented by the Front wireless smart device charging pad, ensuring your phone stays powered up while you focus on the road ahead.

Navigation is a breeze thanks to the Integrated navigation system with voice activation, which provides clear, concise directions to any destination, whether it is a new restaurant in the city or a hidden gem of a park. The Voice activated audio controls allow you to change the station or find a specific artist while keeping your hands on the Leather steering wheel and your eyes on the path. For the audiophiles in the family, the Harman/Kardon speakers system, powered by a 792W amplifier and a Quantum Logic Surround Sound digital signal processor, transforms the cabin into a private concert hall. With 14 Speakers strategically placed throughout the interior, every passenger enjoys a premium audio experience.

Safety and convenience technology are further bolstered by the Aerial View Display System, which utilizes a Panoramic View Monitor to provide a 360-degree bird's-eye view of the vehicle's surroundings. This makes parking in tight spots or navigating crowded school drop-off zones much less stressful. Additionally, the Cabin Connect intercom allows the driver to communicate clearly with passengers in the third row without having to raise their voice, a feature that any parent will find invaluable during a busy trip. With 6 USB ports spread across all three rows, everyone can keep their devices charged and ready for action, making this Ascent the perfect companion for modern life.

The Memory settings include the driver's seat, door mirrors, and even the Voice-activated climate control preferences, so the vehicle is always ready for you.

The second row is equally impressive, featuring 2nd Row Captain's Chairs that provide a premium experience for your passengers. These seats are not only Heated rear seats, but they also offer Manual reclining second-row seats and Manual fore and aft adjustment, giving your guests or children the ability to customize their space. The 7-passenger layout provides easy access to the Third-row bench seat, which features 6-0/40 folding capability and Third-row manual reclining seats. When you need to carry more gear than people, the Power cargo area access release and Power liftgate rear cargo door make loading the trunk effortless, while the Roll-up cargo cover keeps your valuables out of sight.

Every detail in the cabin has been considered, from the Woodgrain Interior Trim and Chrome and metal-look interior accents to the Ambient lighting that sets a sophisticated mood at night. The Panoramic Roof features a First and second-row sliding and tilting laminated glass sunroof, flooding the interior with natural light and providing a sense of openness. For those extra sunny days, the Manual rear side window sunblinds and Manual third-row side sunblinds keep the cabin cool and protect younger passengers from glare. With 19 beverage holders and an Interior 120V AC power outlet, the Ascent is fully equipped to handle the needs of a busy family on the move.

A Comprehensive Commitment to Safety

Subaru has long been a leader in automotive safety, and the 2023 Ascent Touring is a testament to that legacy. The EyeSight Adaptive Cruise Control system with Lane Keep Assist and Lane Centering helps reduce driver fatigue by maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle ahead and keeping you centered in your lane. The Pre-Collision Braking and Pre-Collision Throttle Management systems act as an extra set of eyes, providing Forward collision warning and even applying the brakes if a potential impact is detected. This suite of driver-assist technologies is designed to provide peace of mind during the unpredictable nature of daily commuting.

Visibility is a top priority, and this vehicle features Blind Spot Detection (BSD) with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, which warns you of vehicles approaching from the side when you are backing out of a driveway or parking space. The Reverse Automatic Braking system adds another layer of protection by automatically stopping the vehicle if an obstacle is detected behind you. To help keep the driver focused, the DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation System (DMS) uses a dedicated camera and facial recognition software to monitor for signs of fatigue or distraction, providing an alert if it detects the driver's attention is wandering.

The structural safety of the Ascent is equally robust, featuring 7 airbags, including a Driver side knee airbag and Curtain first, second and third-row overhead airbags. The 4-wheel antilock (ABS) brakes with Brake assist and Electronic parking brake ensure consistent stopping power, while the STARLINK Safety and Security system provides an Emergency SOS system and Vehicle tracker for added security. With Manual rear child safety door locks and an Airbag occupancy sensor, every measure has been taken to protect your most precious cargo.

The front end is dominated by a Grille with chrome bar and Projector beam LED low and high beam headlights that are Directionally adaptive, turning with the steering wheel to illuminate corners more effectively. The LED front fog lights and High Beam Assist (HBA) ensure that you have maximum visibility in all weather conditions, while the LED daytime running lights give the Ascent a modern and recognizable signature on the road.
