CAMDEN, N.J., June 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Subaru of America Inc. today announced pricing on the 2024 Ascent, its award-winning 3-row SUV. The Ascent offers a spacious interior with flexible seating options and an impressive list of standard safety, driver assist, and in-vehicle technologies.

SUBARU ANNOUNCES PRICING ON 2024 ASCENT 3-ROW SUV

The 2024 Ascent comes standard with the latest version of EyeSight Driver Assist Technology. The enhanced system operates more smoothly and in a greater range of conditions. These improvements are a result of a wider field of view, updated control software, and the addition of an electric brake booster. Also standard across the model line is a Wide-Angle Mono Camera that works together with the EyeSight system's stereo cameras.

Models equipped with Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert include Automatic Emergency Steering, a safety feature that works in conjunction with the EyeSight Pre-Collision Braking to help the vehicle avoid a collision when traveling at speeds slower than 50 mph.

Cabin Connect is available on trim levels equipped with the Harman Kardon^® QuantumLogic^™ surround sound speaker system. The convenience feature amplifies the driver's voice to the third-row occupants for improved communication inside the vehicle.

For enhanced all-around situational awareness while parking, an available Surround View Monitor offers a 360-degree overhead view of the vehicle. The system uses images from four vehicle cameras and combines them to create a single image for a bird's-eye view of the area around the entire vehicle.

The Onyx Edition(s), Limited, and Touring come standard with dual-function X-MODE^® featuring SNOW/DIRT and DEEP SNOW/MUD settings. The additional settings optimize all-wheel-drive performance for difficult weather or road conditions.

The Ascent continues to be one of the manufacturer's most awarded vehicles since its debut in 2019. The 3-row SUV received the 2023 Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) TOP SAFETY PICK+ award. This marks the sixth consecutive year Ascent has earned an IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK (2018-2023).

The 2023 Subaru Ascent also earned top marks with a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

For three years running, the Ascent has the lowest 5-Year Cost to Own in its class according to Kelley Blue Book. The Ascent is top ranked in its class, according to MotorTrend.
