Subaru Ascent Brochures 2019 Ascent Brochure | Page 10

YOUR DREAM DESTINATION IS MORE REAL THAN EVER. The all-new Ascent is more than capable of getting big groups to the bigger outdoors, thanks to a combination of proven core technology and the latest in all-road/all-weather performance systems. It features an all-new Direct-Injection Turbocharged (DIT) 2.4L SUBARU BOXER® engine paired with our legendary Subaru Symmetrical Full-Time All-Wheel Drive. The new Subaru Global Platform (SGP) has increased rigidity and high-strength steel. And because the Ascent can tow up to 2,270 kg, 1 has 220 mm of ground clearance, and features X-MODE® with Hill Descent Control, you have more destination options to consider. X-MODE® with Hill Descent Control “X” marks added capability for any driver on most any road. With a push of a button, X-MODE® takes control of the engine, transmission, AWD, brakes, and other components to help you safely navigate through bad roads and slippery surfaces with maximum confidence. For challenging descents, Hill Descent Control enhances confidence down the steepest of hills you’ll encounter by providing constant, controlled momentum so the driver can focus more on steering the vehicle—and less on braking. 1 Towing capacity varies by trim level. Trailer brakes may be required. See your retailer for details. 10
