2022 Subaru Ascent Redesign

Using 18-inch and 20-inch wheels and all-season tires, the Subaru Ascent can conquer the most challenging terrain. In addition, the rear receives a power liftgate in the higher trims. The roof is ornamented with a raised roof rail, but the panoramic roof is reserved for the Touring trim.
While Highlander is 200 lbs heavier, the 2022 Ascent is 0.7 inches higher in ground clearance. Because of this, they appear to be on an equal footing in terms of off-roading prowess. To help with straight-line stability, Explorer sports a 6 inch larger wheelbase than Ascent.
Interior Design
Inside the Subaru Ascent’s cabin, you’ll find a lot of room and a lot of comforts. The cloth seats in the base cabin are replaced in the Premium and Onyx Editions with Stain-Resistant Cloth and StarTex Water-Repellent Upholstery, respectively, in terms of interior trims and accents. For the Limited and Touring versions, leather upholstery such as Slate Black and Ivory Warm are added.

Ascent’s four-wheel independent suspension holds the wheel firmly in place regardless of the road conditions. Active Torque Vectoring (ATV), which aids in quick cornering and neutral steering, is implemented. The Brake Override System can also be used to limit the driver’s accelerator pedal input in the event of unexpected acceleration.
