Crystal Black Silica 2022 Subaru Ascent Touring AWD Lineartronic CVT 2.4L 4-Cylinder DOHC 16V20/26 City/Highway MPG
The Subaru Ascent is powered by a 2.4L turbocharged flat 4-cylinder "boxer" engine that makes 260 horsepower, sending power to all four wheels via a CVT variable ratio transmission. The resulting powertrain cuts a good balance between acceleration and fuel economy, while allowing the Ascent to tow up to 5,000 lbs. Subaru estimates that the base level Ascent will get around 27 mpg on the highway. Five different trim levels are offered for the Ascent including base, Premium, Onyx Edition, Limited and Touring.
