  • The Ascent debuted for the 2019 model year, finally giving the small Japanese automaker a real 3-row SUV. I tested a lower trim level when it launchd and declared it a serious contender to the Toyota Highlander and Pilot. But time waits for no one and it can be particularly cruel in this frenetic industry.
    MSRP as-tested: $47,520

    Hi Steve! Great channel...love the way you review the cars. I had to laugh when you said this Ascent is "ghastly" looking...you must then have used worse words for the last several years of the Lexus "big mouth grill" years...those cars were beyond ghastly!!! Down-right Ugly!! I think you're right, though...the typical Subaru buyer will like the look of this one. I kind of like it...but then again, I just bought a new Honda CRV! It's looks raises eyebrows, too! Thanks for all your video's!!

    Steve don’t get me wrong I love your reviews but I’m sick of SUV and Crossover reviews. It’s sad that’s what Americans want. Wish more cars would make a comeback 😢

      I think that's wishful thinking.

      Sedans make zero sense if you breakdown every aspect of a vehicle. You know that.

    great review that is a safety hazard if you can't downshift ratios for better engine braking
    did you dry down shifting the speeds?

    When is Subaru going to give up on that CVT?

    I just realised, we don't get the Ascent in Australia. Is this like a modern Tribeca?

    The closest thing to a Wilderness edition in a Subaru Ascent.

      I bet they come out with a Wilderness version. Makes sense.

    Yea, it’s ugly. Thank you for being honest. I love you channel and I keep coming back for your quality running footage, broad range of vehicle, reviews, and your sense of humor.

    Subaru needs a refresh. This isn't a bad car but the newer Grand Highlander, Pilot, CX-90, Palisade, and Telluride are all nicer.

  • @lucastherexcat

    With nearness in features and the overall similarities in this class of vehicles why would anyone chose one with a CVT.

  • @smartkid1201
    @smartkid1201 8 місяців тому +2

    When you look at the competition especially the Kings(Palisade and Telluride) this thing looks dated.

    I actually chose the Ascent over the new Honda Pilot because the Honda, imo, was overpriced for what you got.

      To be fair, they're both insanely overpriced.

    Once you go Onyx, You never go back." LMAO!!!!! Steve, Ya always gotta keep it fresh!!
    The interior is definitely dated. I do however like the exterior, especially in that color.. I am holding out for a Forester Turbo. One can only dream lol
    Until then? our 2020 STI will have to do.

    I paused and ended the video when you said 3 row. The auto industry is basically only building suvs for people who got creampied and not people who want cargo capacity for their adventures.

      I think it goes up to 86 cubic feet. Do you need more than that?
