2020 Subaru Ascent near Santa Fe NM Has Room for the Whole Family

Looking for a three row SUV with all wheel drive and a host of standard safety features? Look to the 2020 Subaru Ascent near Santa Fe NM for all this and more at Fiesta Subaru!

Until recently, Subaru lovers wanting to move up to a larger, 3-row SUV had to leave the family and look elsewhere. Thankfully, the 2020 Subaru Ascent gets rid of this issue, bringing home all those who were forced to abandon the safety, excellent resale values and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive for which Subaru cars and SUVs are famous. Looking and driving like an extremely large Outback, the 8-passenger Ascent has comparable interior space and amenities as some of the most popular and larger family SUVs. The Ascent stands out with its high-quality cabin, standard all-wheel drive, and exceptional ground clearance. Even those who don't plan to venture off road will appreciate this vehicle's lengthy list of standard features, user-friendly infotainment system, composed handling, and peppy powertrain.

If you're comparison shopping the 2020 Subaru Ascent near Santa Fe NM to other large family crossovers/SUVs you'll find a bit more space inside and big windows for greater visibility. You'll enjoy a less constricting rear seating area for the kids as well. This versatile 3-row SUV is great for busy households. Large families will be grateful for its standard 19 cup holders, six USB ports (four standard), and available second-row climate controls. The feature content is generous, especially in terms of safety and infotainment tech. All wheel drive (AWD) is standard, and you get a class-leading 8.7 inches of ground clearance. It is a Subaru, after all! The Ascent is clearly a well-rounded family choice, whether you're a Subaru fan or not.

Since the Ascent was all new for 2019, Subaru makes the smallest of changes to its largest model for 2020. A newly standard alert system-called Rear Seat Reminder-helps to prevent people from leaving items (and babies) in the back seats by beeping a warning and displaying an alert on the instrument panel. Starting with the Premium trim level, each Ascent now features one-touch controls to turn the interior lighting on or off. The 2020 Subaru Ascent near Santa Fe NM now offers a vehicle lock button with its optional power-operated rear gate, and the top-tier Touring version receives power-folding exterior mirrors with built-in turn signals.

Engine Options in the 2020 Subaru Ascent near Santa Fe NM

Every Ascent features the same engine and transmission that powers the standard all-wheel-drive system, which means choosing which Ascent to buy is decided by available features. While the base model isn't completely stripped of desirable content, it still lacks amenities and options you may enjoy. This could make the next-level Premium version your preferred Ascent; it has significant upgrades that include standard heated front seats, power-adjustable driver's seat, 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.
Likewise, the Premium brings more options, such as the 7-Passenger Convenience package. You may want to add this for its push-button start, power-operated rear gate, rear automated emergency braking, and second-row captain's chairs.

The 2020 Subaru Ascent near Santa Fe NM comes with a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and a continuously variable automatic transmission. Although its engine is smaller than what lies under the hood of the average midsize SUV, it provides plenty of get-up-and-go. This engine is rated at 260 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque.

This eight-seat vehicle doesn't handle like a large, hulking SUV. Instead, the Ascent is nimble and composed, with strong brakes, responsive steering, and a comfortable ride. So come on over to Fiesta Subaru and check out the 2020 Subaru Ascent near Santa Fe NM.
