2021 Subaru Ascent: Your Family's Adventure Awaits

The 2021 Subaru Ascent continues to be Subaru's largest and most capable SUV, designed to accommodate families and their adventures with its three-row seating, standard all-wheel drive, and a suite of advanced safety and convenience features. It offers a compelling blend of practicality, capability, and Subaru's signature reliability.

Highlights

  • Engine and Performance: All 2021 Ascent models are powered by a robust 2.4-liter turbocharged SUBARU BOXER engine, delivering a healthy 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) that Subaru has tuned to feel more responsive than many CVTs.
  • Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive: A cornerstone of Subaru's identity, the standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system provides excellent traction and stability in various weather conditions, from rain and snow to light off-road excursions.
  • Advanced Safety Features (SUBARU EYESIGHT®): The SUBARU EYESIGHT® Driver Assist Technology is a comprehensive suite of safety features that comes standard on most trims and is highly recommended for all. Key features include:
    • Adaptive Cruise Control: Maintains a set speed and distance from the vehicle ahead, automatically slowing down and speeding up as traffic dictates.
    • Lane Departure Warning and Lane Keep Assist: Alerts the driver if the vehicle drifts out of its lane and can provide gentle steering corrections to keep it centered.
    • Pre-Collision Braking: Detects potential frontal collisions and can automatically apply the brakes to mitigate or avoid an accident.
    • Pre-Collision Throttle Management: Reduces engine power if a frontal collision is detected and the accelerator pedal is engaged, further preventing an impact.
  • Trim Summary: The 2021 Ascent is offered in four distinct trims, each building upon the previous:
    • Ascent Base: The entry-level model provides essential comfort and safety, including a 6.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and the aforementioned EyeSight suite.
    • Ascent Premium: Steps up with an 8-inch touchscreen, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, heated front seats, and a power-adjustable driver's seat. It also offers the option of second-row captain's chairs.
    • Ascent Onyx Edition: Adds a sportier aesthetic with unique black exterior accents, badging, and 20-inch black alloy wheels. It also includes a panoramic moonroof and a hands-free power rear gate.
    • Ascent Touring: The top-tier trim boasts premium features such as leather-trimmed upholstery, a panoramic moonroof, heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, a heated steering wheel, and a voice-activated GPS navigation system.
  • Comfortable and Versatile Interior: With standard three-row seating for up to eight passengers (or seven with the optional second-row captain's chairs), the Ascent offers a spacious and family-friendly cabin. Ample cargo space is available, and the seats fold flat for increased utility.
  • Excellent Visibility: Subaru's design often prioritizes outward visibility, and the Ascent is no exception, providing a commanding view of the road and its surroundings.

What to Expect

Owning a 2021 Subaru Ascent is generally a predictable and positive experience, particularly for those familiar with the Subaru brand.

  • Typical Ownership Experience: The Ascent is designed to be a reliable daily driver, comfortable for commutes and long road trips. Its standard AWD provides confidence in various climates. The cabin is well-appointed, especially on higher trims, and the infotainment system is generally user-friendly. The ride is composed, though can be a bit firm over rough surfaces.
  • Maintenance: Subaru vehicles are known for their reasonable maintenance costs. Routine services like oil changes, tire rotations, and filter replacements will be standard. Following the recommended maintenance schedule in the owner's manual is crucial for ensuring longevity and optimal performance. Expect to see Subaru's turbocharged engine require specific oil types and potential for more frequent spark plug changes compared to naturally aspirated engines.
  • Insurance: Insurance costs for the 2021 Ascent will vary based on your location, driving record, chosen coverage levels, and the specific trim you select. However, as a popular family SUV with a good safety record, it generally falls within a competitive insurance bracket. It's always advisable to get quotes from multiple insurance providers.

Potential Considerations

While the 2021 Subaru Ascent is a strong contender, there are a few aspects buyers might want to be aware of:

  • CVT Behavior: While Subaru has improved its CVTs, some drivers may still find the feel of the transmission less engaging than a traditional automatic, particularly under hard acceleration.
  • Third-Row Space: While advertised as an eight-seater, the third row is best suited for children or smaller adults on shorter journeys. It's not as spacious as some larger three-row SUVs in its class.
  • Fuel Economy: The turbocharged engine, while powerful, offers respectable but not class-leading fuel economy, especially for a vehicle of its size.
  • Road Noise: At highway speeds, some road noise can enter the cabin, which might be more noticeable on longer trips.

Overall Summary

The 2021 Subaru Ascent is a well-rounded and practical family SUV that excels in providing standard all-wheel-drive capability, comprehensive safety features, and a comfortable, versatile interior. It's a dependable choice for families who need space and the confidence to tackle various driving conditions, offering a solid value proposition within the competitive three-row SUV segment.
