The road may waver,
but not your priorities.
Safety that meets the highest expectations.
We know what’s most important to you when you drive, and
that’s why safety is at the top of our minds, too. The Ascent
offers some of the most advanced active safety systems on the
market. It features Rain Sensing Wipers, 1 which automatically
turn on and adjust to the necessary speed and interval. The
Smart Rear-View Mirror 1 helps you see what’s behind you when
your view is blocked. The 180-Degree Front View Monitor offers
enhanced visibility when pulling out into blind intersections or
into tight parking spots. 1 And advanced lighting technology,
including available LED Steering Responsive Headlights with
High Beam Assist, 1 helps make nighttime driving even safer.
1 Availability varies by trim level. See your retailer. 2 Blind-Spot Detection, Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert are systems designed to assist the driver by monitoring the rear and side areas of the vehicle
during a lane change or reversing and are not a substitute for safe and attentive driving. 3 The Reverse Automatic Braking System is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness depends on
many factors, such as vehicle maintenance, weather and road conditions. Always exercise caution and use vehicle mirrors and the Rear-Vision Camera when backing up. See Owner’s Manual for complete details on
system operation and limitations.
Reverse Automatic Braking
Third-row Safety
Reverse Automatic Braking can detect objects directly
behind your vehicle when backing up at a low speed and can
help bring the Ascent to a stop should an object be detected
within its range and the driver fails to act. There’s also the
Rearview Camera to help you keep an eye out.

Our strongest foundation yet—the Subaru Global Platform—
provides exceptional protection for third-row passengers.
Its solid structure, large reinforcements and substantial seat
strength all help create more safe space in the event of a rear-
end collision. It’s one more reason Subaru delivers peace of
mind in every drive.
