Why it stands out
The 2020 Subaru Ascent stands out as Subaru’s first midsize three-row SUV, and it was designed to correct the shortcomings of the Tribeca it replaced. It brings distinctly Subaru styling with clear Outback cues, standard Symmetrical all-wheel drive, and seating for seven or eight passengers thanks to bench or captain’s chairs in the second row. It was also the largest Subaru ever built, which helps explain why it appealed to families looking for more space without leaving the brand’s familiar all-weather character behind.
For 2020, the Ascent’s core strengths were practicality and safety. It came with a 260-horsepower 2.4-litre Boxer turbocharged engine, a towing capacity of up to 2,268 kilograms, and a family-friendly cabin with rear doors that opened to 75 degrees, 19 cup holders, three-zone automatic climate control, and available USB charging ports in the third row. Subaru’s EyeSight advanced driver assist and safety system was standard, and it included adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and automatic emergency braking. The base trim also included a 6.5-inch infotainment screen, wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, four USB ports, heated front seats, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, and auto vehicle hold.
There are trade-offs, though. The Ascent’s fuel economy is not a highlight, and the interior design was described as outdated. The third row was also cramped, which is worth keeping in mind if you expect adults to use it often. Even so, the 2020 Subaru Ascent remains appealing for buyers who want a spacious, safety-focused family SUV with standard all-wheel drive and a strong list of practical features.

Very spacious! Love that the second row captains chairs can slide up expanding the floor room for third row passengers

Roomy and just as luxurious as comparable top of the line mid-size SUVs (like Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander). Safety rating is unbeatable. Smooth drive and great breaking.

I needed a vehicle with a third row option because my family is expanding. I test drove a Toyota Highlander and just felt this suited me better. The third row in the Highlander was uncomfortable and felt like an afterthought. The third row in the Ascent actually feels like a real third row - there is more room and the seats sit back a little at an incline, rather than being uncomfortably upright and with no leg room. I also found it easier to get into the back row in the Ascent, compared to the Highlander. We considered the Toyota Sienna hybrid, but I didnt really want a mini van and I didnt want something ridiculously huge. The Ascent is big, but reasonably so and very comfortable to drive. I think it will be great for long family trips and it feels very safe. Im only 53 and always feel uncomfortable and awkward driving a big beast of an SUV. But the drivers seat and steering wheel all seem to fit me very well. The Ascent also has a really great turn radius, so its more maneuverable than it appears. Lots of great family-friendly features and I also like that it has a good amount of ground clearance. It sits high off the ground but even as Im six months pregnant its still easy enough for me to get in and out of. I only wish they made a hybrid version for better fuel economy and more eco-friendly. However, the mpg is decent, given the size (comparable or even better than my old Honda CRV)
