Safety and Driver-Assist Features

Built on the new Subaru Global Platform, extensive use of high-strength steel isn't the only way the new Subaru Ascent has you covered. The newest large-SUV iteration includes:

• Subaru EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology standard, making it easy to keep track of traffic patterns while maintaining a safe distance from other vehicles and staying on course. The suite can even help you avoid an accident by initiating emergency braking.
• Available Blind Spot Detection and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert for added situational awareness, alongside available Reverse Automatic Braking to help prevent backing over impediments behind you.
• A trifecta of visualization capabilities: an available Smart Rear-View Mirror, a standard Rear-Vision Camera, and an optional 180-degree front camera.
• Available LED Steering Responsive Headlights to shed light on your surroundings during cornering.
• STARLINK Safety and Security services, with the first responder alert abilities of Automatic Collision Notification, SOS Emergency Assistance, and more. New for the 2019 model year: smartphone-controlled Remote Engine Start with a Climate Control feature and STARLINK Safety and Security Plus Concierge services for navigation, social activity planning, and auto service scheduling assistance.

Interior and Technology

The new Ascent delivers no shortage of creature comforts, advanced tech, and amenities for the trip. Just use Keyless Access, step into the SUV's capacious up-to-153.5-cubic-foot cabin, activate Push-Button Start, and hit the road. You'll find:

• Upholstery at the height of comfort, in cloth, durable spill-resistant cloth, and leather options, available heated in front, and with an exclusive, luxurious Java Brown hue in the top trim tier. You can even take advantage of the option to equip 2019 Ascent with dual second-row captain's chairs.
• A sprawling 54-inch power tilting and sliding panoramic moonroof, with sunshades available for second and third rows - ideal for giving your excursion a touch of Mother Nature when she's agreeable.
• The entertainment and connectivity at your fingertips of SUBARU STARLINK Multimedia infotainment with SiriusXM support. The system even becomes an 8-inch touchscreen variant in higher trims complete with a built-in, voice-activated navigation system powered by TomTom.
• Standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for integrating your smartphone, making app access and control a breeze from the infotainment touchscreen.
• Available Wi-Fi connectivity to keep in touch with civilization along the way, as well as up to eight USB ports to keep peripherals energized and ready for the road.
• An optional 14-speaker, 792-watt-equivalent Harman Kardon premium audio system to take your trip soundtrack to the next level.
• A sizable cargo area that incorporates under-floor storage, accessible in a snap at your venue thanks to an available power rear gate with a height memory function.
