The 2024 Subaru Ascent Holds Its Ground
The 2024 Subaru Ascent continues to build on the major updates introduced last year. It remains one of Subaru’s most capable family SUVs, offering a strong mix of performance, comfort, and everyday practicality. For drivers in Canada who want a vehicle ready for busy city life and changing seasons, the Ascent delivers confidence and reliability. The model also continues Subaru’s tradition of strong safety performance, earning the 2024 Top Safety Pick+ award from the IIHS. That recognition reflects Subaru’s ongoing focus on protection and smart engineering.
Turbocharged Adventures
Under the hood, the 2024 Subaru Ascent is powered by a 2.4-litre turbocharged engine that produces 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired with a continuously variable transmission that includes an eight-speed manual mode for more control when needed. Subaru’s symmetrical full-time all wheel drive comes standard, helping the vehicle stay stable and capable in rain, snow, or rough road conditions. This setup is especially useful for Canadian winters and weekend road trips. When extra strength is required, the Ascent can tow up to 5,000 pounds, making it well suited for trailers, boats, or camping gear.
A Practical Take on Style
Inside the cabin, the 2024 Ascent focuses on comfort and flexibility for families. Depending on the trim, the SUV can seat either seven or eight passengers, giving drivers the option between second-row captain’s chairs and a traditional bench seat. The interior design feels modern and thoughtful, with quality materials and smart storage spaces throughout the cabin. At the centre of the dashboard sits a large 11.6-inch touchscreen that controls the infotainment system. Its vertical layout keeps key features easy to reach and simple to understand during everyday driving.
Rugged Elegance
The exterior design of the 2024 Ascent reflects its adventurous nature. The SUV stands tall with strong body lines and a confident stance. High ground clearance allows the vehicle to handle uneven roads and light trails with ease. The independent suspension system helps create a smoother ride while maintaining control over rough surfaces. Together, these elements give the Ascent a balanced personality. It feels refined enough for city driving yet capable enough for weekend adventures.
Tech for Every Trail
Technology plays an important role in the driving experience. Every 2024 Ascent comes equipped with Subaru’s EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology. The system now includes a wide-angle mono camera and Automatic Emergency Steering, adding another layer of protection on busy roads. The infotainment system is built around the large 11.6-inch touchscreen and supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. This makes it easy to connect a smartphone, access navigation apps, stream music, and stay connected while on the road.
Safety as Standard
Safety remains one of the biggest strengths of the Subaru Ascent. The standard EyeSight® system monitors traffic movement and can assist with braking or steering if a potential collision is detected. Additional available features help drivers stay more aware and focused during long trips. These include the DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System and a surround view monitor that provides a clearer look around the vehicle. Together, these technologies help create a driving experience that feels calm, controlled, and secure.
