The 2023 Subaru Ascent Could Be the Right Pick
If you're considering getting yourself a three-row SUV, look at the new 2023 Subaru Ascent. Because this model is capable and spacious, it's been able to catch the eye of many customers around Frederick County. It has high-tech equipment, too, so it feels quite modern. This is a vehicle that seems to offer it all, and it's one that we're proud to have in our new inventory at Dulles Subaru.
Interior Features
As Subaru's largest vehicle, the Ascent has plenty of space in its cabin. The second row can either be set up with a bench seat, which can accommodate three people or a pair of captain's chairs. Some people prefer the captain's chairs because they help make the cabin feel more open.
The Ascent's third row can fit three passengers; behind that row of seats, there's a sizable cargo hold. If you don't have the extra people riding with you around Leesburg but have bulky cargo, you can lower the back row to create more storage space.
Both rear rows can be folded down, and this would give you a cargo capacity of over 75 cubic feet. It's great that both the second and third rows have reclining seatbacks so that passengers can get comfortable on drives around Middleburg.
Other available amenities are heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, and a heated steering wheel. It's up to you whether you get a new Ascent with cloth, StarTex, leather, or Nappa leather upholstery.
Exterior Features
Sitting 8.7 inches off the ground and having a large frame, the Ascent has a strong presence on the roads around Purcellville. It can have either 18-inch or 20-inch wheels, and all trims come with raised roof rails. You can get an Ascent with a panoramic moonroof if you'd like. This moonroof can tilt or slide open to let in the fresh air, and whether it's open or closed, it can bring in natural light and help you feel connected with the outdoors.
The Ascent's LED steering responsive headlights do an excellent job lighting up dark areas near Poolesville, especially since they can adjust their angle when you're turning. Some trims are further enhanced with LED fog lights that can be used when visibility isn't great.
Technology
There are so many ways in which technology has been integrated into the '23 Subaru Ascent. The infotainment system is a major draw, as it comes standard with an 11.6-inch touchscreen. This touchscreen has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as SiriusXM. There are many ways to stay entertained as you travel around Marshall or go on long road trips.
Better yet, most Ascent trims have Wi-Fi capability so that you can enjoy a fast connection to the internet. There's the option to upgrade from a six-speaker audio system to a 14-speaker Harman Kardon sound system. There's also the opportunity to enhance the infotainment system with integrated navigation.
Aside from all of this, the Ascent can have other high-tech features, such as tri-zone automatic climate control, driver's seat memory, and a smart auto-dimming rearview mirror. It can be so convenient to have keyless access and a power rear gate, too.
Power and Performance
The Ascent runs on a 2.4-liter turbo engine that can generate 260 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque. Maximum towing capacity is impressive at 5,000 pounds, and as you might already know, all-wheel drive is standard. X-MODE and Hill Descent Control are also standard, giving the Subaru more capability and stability in difficult terrain around Leesburg. This SUV is one you can count on.
