A brand new year means brand new cars! Subaru is following that mantra and will be releasing the all-new 2019 Subaru Ascent this year. It’s the biggest Subaru SUV that’s ever been made and can seat up to eight passengers. Spacious, capable, and of course, safe, the Subaru Ascent is here to stay. If you’ve been looking for a vehicle that has a little extra edge (and a lot of extra room!), this is the Subaru for you. Keep reading to find out why the Subaru Ascent is what you need in 2018!
Safety
As with all Subaru’s, the Ascent is well equipped with all the safety features that will safely get your family wherever they need to go. Most importantly, for the first time ever, Eyesight Driver Assist Technology will be offered as a standard feature on the Subaru Ascent. This feature monitors traffic movement, optimizes cruise control, and warns you if you’re driving outside of your lane. Add to that the Pre-Collision Braking feature that will fully implement your vehicle’s brakes and bring you to a complete stop during potential emergency situations. If you want some extra peace of mind, the available Smart Rear-View Mirror uses a camera exclusively for maintaining visibility when the view behind you is obstructed. Another available feature, a 180-degree Front Camera, allows you to better see what’s in front of you. It never hurts to have some extra help when it comes to the safety of your family and Subaru, as always, has you covered. 
Technology
If you’re like most people in 2018, smart connectivity is extremely important to you when shopping for a new vehicle. The Subaru Ascent does not fall short in this category and promises to bring a new level of convenience to your life. Standard Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Sirius XM All Access Radio, and Pandora Integration, STARLINK will keep you connected to everything that’s important. Music, navigation, entertainment…all in one. You can also pair your smart phone with your vehicle granting you instant and safe access to your favorite apps. If you’re one to travel a lot, you might consider the available 8-inch touch screen, built-in voice-activated navigation system powered by TomTom. Not just efficient and smart, but also fun and exciting to use!
Style
As we mentioned earlier, the Subaru Ascent is the biggest Subaru SUV ever made. With three rows and up to 153.5 cubic feet of space, you can comfortably fit everyone and everything you need. Underfloor storage coupled with all of that cargo space will never force you to leave anything behind. Extra wide rear door openings, 19 cup and bottle holders and 7 or 8 available seats will ensure all of your family and friends are always comfortable. An available 54-inch power tilt/sliding panoramic moon roof will take the experience to the next level, creating an open and serene ambiance throughout the whole cabin. The Ascent also has eight USB ports all throughout the vehicle to ensure that all of your passengers are connected and charged up at all times. This SUV truly has everything you could need.
Performance
As with all Subaru’s, Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive comes standard, making all of your endeavors easier. Superior stability, exceptional efficiency, and even distribution of power help to make it the smoothest and easiest ride you’ll have…no matter the driving conditions. Whether you’re taking a leisurely drive or taking on some rough terrain, the Ascent’s 8.7 inches of ground clearance will help you maintain maximum traction and control at all times. The all-new Direct-Injection Turbocharged Subaru Boxer engine gives you 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque. In case you weren’t sure it could get any better, the Subaru Ascent offers 5,000 pounds of towing capacity, which is the greatest amount ever offered by a Subaru. Capable, strong, and versatile, the Subaru Ascent will always steer you in the right direction.
Whether you have a growing family or just like a lot of space, the 2019 Subaru Ascent is full of things that you’ll love. Lester Glenn Subaru is ready to help! Come visit us at 1501 Route 37 West, Toms River, NJ 08755 and we’ll be able to answer any and all questions you may have. Happy Shopping!
