  • In this full #review I will explain all the specs of the 2023 #Subaru #Ascent and take it out on my test drive. The new Ascent gets the large touchscreen (still a little glitchy), updated lighting outside and a new fascia. Is the largest Subi too good to be true?

    I honestly don't know why more cars (and trims) don't have the thigh extension for long legged drivers. It makes all the difference in getting comfortable.

      I agree Jeff, since they are making the seats smaller it would be nice to have that and cushion extensions 👍

    I test drove the '22 and I loved it, so seeing this refresh is awesome. I have seen a lot of negative opinions on this car but like you said..* a lot of standard * especially for a 3 row vehicle that looks really good to me. It's not meant to be luxury, but a utility vehicle that offers a whole lot w/ good safety features. Thanks for the review!!

    The Highlander has adaptive lighting on the platinum model, does the hybrid with this , the front blinker signals are extremely small

    Is it possible to programmatically increase its power? chip tuning.

    • @HawkeyeRides
      @HawkeyeRides  Рік тому +2

      Because of the cvt, not really, you would spend the money and not get extra performance. The CVT makes it a lot harder and if you reprogrammed everything, including the cvt it would pop the internal pulleys.

    I would love to see Subaru build an All Purpose Vehicle (APV) all wheel drive, back country, sliding door van. Honda and Toyota would be the only ones to compete with them and I think think a vehicle like that would absorb a lot of the van/SUV market which is most new vehicles on the road.

    Nice video. I drive the 2021 ascent limited. However i saw the video if the new Toyota highlander hybrid max. I think i will teade my subsru for the hybrid max because it beats subaru in mpg, horsepower, space in 3rd row and trunk space behind the 3rd row seat. That is ehat we call a family cross over. It also has usb each side of the 3rd row unlike the subaru. I also think awd system is as good as subaru awd. Also safety system is as good as subaru. The good thing it doesn't have a cvt which is good so i will wait to see what subaru will do in response.

    • @JFE1185

      The hybrid max does have a CVT. Hybrids can only use CVT transmissions because they can accept multiple inputs, in this case from the engine and from the electric motor. Traditional automatics are only capable of receiving input from one source, making them incapable of supporting a hybrid power train.

      The grand highlander also costs at least $5,000 more.

      Subaru AWD is superior. Symmetrical full time AWD vs asymmetrical AWD that I believe is not full time.

    when your in highway, the lesser mpg would have cause of the turbo..... doesnt make sense. why not just put 3liter engine, nothing else..... naturaly aspirated engine tends to have more mpg on highways.

    My 2022 was a lemon. Subaru didn’t care. They offered me $2500.00 to keep the car with faulty brakes. This is the reason we will never buy another Subaru.
