With off-road capable tires, I feel the Ascent should be able to tackle some pretty technical terrain without getting into difficulty. Needless to say, it passed with flying colors, although there was some tire slip-on occasion it never felt as if it wouldn’t make it. Since my tester was wearing street tires on 20-inch rims I didn’t tackle anything too tricky but I gave it some steepish ascents with large rocks and also tested its 8.7-inch ground clearance. a clutch pack that is designed for some slip, but if traction is lost on a certain axle, the system locks the clutch pack, applies more pressure, and sends more torque to the wheels that need it. The Active Torque Split system has a 60/40 torque split and uses.
#2022 SUBARU ASCENT ONYX EDITION INTERIOR MANUAL#
Manual versions and the WRX and STI use different systems. The Forester, Crosstrek, Outback, and Ascent, when equipped with the continuously variable transmission use Active Torque Split. Subaru doesn’t use the same all-wheel-drive system for every transmission type. For the week I averaged a pretty good 22.1 mpg and only had to fill up on one occasion Off-Road The turbo four has much better fuel economy than the old boxer six, with a combined 22 mpg and highway 26 mpg. It has plenty of power to pass slower vehicles on 2 lane back roads and doesn’t feel heavy at all like the recent Atlas we tested.Īt the helm, the steering is light but reasonably precise and the brakes provide reassuring stopping and a precise feel. The suspension soaks up any road imperfections and it handles well in the turns with not too much body roll and is surprisingly agile. Yes, it’s not as quick as the Outback but it feels quick enough. The Ascent has some pep in its step and launches off the line with vigor, with sixty coming up in 6.9 seconds. Having driven the Subaru Outback with this engine-transmission combo I was expecting good things from the Ascent, despite it weighing in at around $4,500 lbs. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t but it’s the best one I’ve come across so far. Just one drivetrain is offered in the Ascent a 2.4-liter turbocharged boxer-four which puts out a decent 260 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque and is driven through Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) that pretends to be a conventional 8-speed auto. All rows get USB power and of course, more cupholder than anyone would need.
This boxy shape means more room for passengers and of course, cargo space, offering 17.6 cubic feet behind the third row, 46 cubic feet with the second row folded, and a gargantuan 86 ft³ with all seats down. Think taller and slightly stretched Outback or large Forester and you’ll get the idea. The ascent’s styling is fairly inoffensive there’s nothing to love or hate about it and it follows Subaru’s tradition of quirkiness and practicality. The Ascent is also a world record holder in having 19 cup holders (I counted them to make sure) the most of any production vehicle. It also comes standard with LED headlights, keyless entry, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a power liftgate, and for those cold winter nights, a heated steering wheel.
Topping things off are carpeted floor mats with logos and a scattering of black interior accents. In addition, it rolls on some quite tasty 20-inch wheels which also have a black finish. The 2022 Subaru Ascent Onyx model comes with some visual enhancements which include a blacked-out grille, black window trim, black badges, and black mirror caps. For 2022 Subaru has introduced a new trim, the Onyx which sits right in the middle of the Ascent’s five-trim lineup. 3 Row SUVs are becoming more commonplace these days as manufacturers try to spice up their offerings, especially in the case of the Subaru Ascent which was launched in late 2018 as a 2019 model.
