A Look at the 2019 vs the 2020 Subaru Ascent SUVs
In 2019, Subaru debuted the Ascent. This full-size SUV has been a big hit across the country and the Brattleboro and Bennington, VT communities. For the 2020 model year, the Ascent is back with some mild changes. To help car buyers from Winchendon, MA and beyond understand the difference between the 2019 and the 2020 Subaru Ascent, Subaru of Keene presents this comparison review.
The 2019 vs the 2020 Subaru Ascent
Overall, the 2019 Subaru Ascent and the 2020 Subaru Ascent are rather similar. That's because the Ascent debuted as an all-new model in 2019. That means the 2020 Subaru Ascent won't see that many significant differences. Let's compare the Ascent models with their exterior looks, interior looks and standard features.
2019 vs the 2020 Subaru Ascent Exterior Looks
On the 2019 Subaru Ascent model, the exterior features powerful LED daytime running lights which flank a massive grille. The sides of the Ascent feature a large greenhouse for excellent visibility on Rindge, NH roads. The rear of the Ascent shows off large LED rear taillights. The 2020 Subaru Ascent features the exact same styling as the 2019 model year.
2019 vs the 2020 Subaru Ascent Interior Looks
Moving to the interior of the 2019 Ascent, you will find space for up to eight passengers, a large infotainment screen and an elegantly designed dashboard. The 2020 Subaru Ascent features an identical interior design.
2019 vs the 2020 Subaru Ascent Standard Features
When it comes to features, there are two changes between the 2019 and the 2020 Subaru Ascent models. First, the 2020 Ascent comes standard with a power rear gate lock function.

Standard Trim
Standard: The standard trim package is anything but standard. This trim level comes equipped with Subaru’s legendary BOXER 2.4-liter, five-cylinder engine. The Boxer is noted for its low center of gravity for improved weight distribution and markedly better handling. With the standard turbocharger, the BOXER puts out 260 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque, while still obtaining up to 27 mpg on the highway. Second and third row bench seats provide seating for up to eight adults, and the third row provides a 60/40 fold down capacity for extra cargo storage. The standard trim and all trim packages come equipped with Subaru’s latest safety features, including the Subaru EyeSight driver assist suite, daytime running lights, four-wheel ABS brakes, X-MODE with Hill Descent Control, Vehicle Dynamics Control and a rear vision camera.
Premium Trim
Premium: The Premium edition adds some great extra features to the standard trim level. Towing capacity is increased to 5000 pounds—perfect for bringing extra equipment on a weekend excursion or vacation in Bennington, VT. This capacity is enough to pull an ATV and many models of campers. Included with this trim is the Starlink multimedia suite and an eight-inch touchscreen. Starlink provides both information and entertainment at the tips of your fingers. Stain-resistant upholstery keeps the Subaru Ascent interior looking new, even with a busy family. This trim adds dual USB ports to the second row of seats to allow passengers to conveniently charge your devices. A 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot is available so every passenger can go online on long drives through Rindge, NH.
Limited Trim
Limited: The Limited trim contains the best features offered by the Premium package, plus even more. Keyless entry with PIN Code access is included in this trim level, as are steering-responsive headlights. These lights will adjust to the steering direction of the Subaru Ascent to make dark corners brighter and safer. Power-adjusting seats are provided for the driver and front-row passenger. A power lift gate is also standard in this trim level. It can be operated with one touch, and can keep the lifting height in memory. The Limited trim adds additional USB ports to the third row of seats to make sure no one is left out. The second bench row of seats can be replaced by optional captain chairs—many choose this option because the captain chairs make access to the third row of seats easier.
Touring Trim
Touring: The Touring trim package is considered the top-of-the-line package for the Subaru Ascent. Most features offered in the Premium and Limited trims are standard in the Touring edition, such as the second-row captain chairs. It also includes luxurious leather trim accents on the dash and door panels. The Harman Kardon Quantum premium sound system is standard and fills the entire cabin with top-quality sound. To highlight the countryside on a long trip through Winchendon, MA, the Touring package includes a power-retractable moon roof. Extending a full 54 inches, the moon roof provides an excellent panoramic view for second and third row passengers in either daylight or night. A push of a button opens the roof to let in fresh air.
Style and Size
There's about 18 cubic feet of room for all your groceries, gear, or luggage with all three rows of seating in tact - but fold the second and third rows flat, and capacity expands to a very generous 86.5 cubic feet -- enough for a desk, a refrigerator box, or a truckload of moving boxes.
Performance
Every Subaru Ascent comes standard with a standard turbocharged 260-horsepower BOXER engine that has more than enough power to make everything from passing to overtaking to cruising down the highways of Peterborough, NH or Winchendon, MA easier and more pleasurable than ever. What's more, this Subaru SUV still manages to return an EPA-Estimated 27 mpg on the highway.*
*EPA-estimated fuel economy. Actual mileage may vary.
Safety
The Subaru Ascent comes standard with not only the safety features you'd expect to find - like a rearview camera and a high-strength steel body - but also plenty of active safety features. In fact, this Subaru model is the first to offer standard Subaru EYESIGHT®.
How Does the New Subaru Ascent Compare to the Competitors?
Are you looking for a spacious, versatile and safe new family SUV in Keene, NH? The new 2019 Subaru Ascent was designed with families like yours in mind, offering spacious and comfortable seating for up to eight passengers, tons of storage space and the latest technology features integrated throughout the cabin to provide everyone in the family with a fun, confident and comfortable driving and riding experience.

To demonstrate the level of capability and value that the new 2019 Ascent can provide you with, we're going to compare it to the new Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander, so you can see side
Ascent vs. Honda Pilot
- The Ascent allows you to drive confidently no matter where you go or what the weather is like online the way thanks to standard symmetrical all-wheel drive. The new Pilot, on the other hand, comes equipped with standard front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive equipped models bring a higher price tag.
- The Ascent comes equipped with the latest safety technology through the standard Eyesight Driver Assist Technology system, offering features like pre-collision braking, adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist. The Pilot offers comparable safety technology, but not standard.
- When conquering the New Hampshire Snow, the Ascent makes it easy with 8.7-inches of ground clearance. The Pilot falls short with 7.3-inches of ground clearance.
- The Ascent also offers available LED steering responsive headlights, something that you won't find offered in the Pilot.
Ascent vs. Toyota Highlander
- With such inclement weather and off road adventures to be had around the area, the standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive on every Ascent model allows you to take advantage of it all and enjoy complete confidence behind the wheel. The new Highlander comes equipped with standard front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive equipped models end up costing you more.
- Connectivity and convenience is a large focus in the new Ascent, which is why every model comes equipped with a standard Starlink multimedia system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Highlander also comes equipped with a standard multimedia system, but does not support Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
- The Ascent is more spacious than the Highlander, offering 153.5 cubic feet of passenger volume compared to 144.9 cubic feet of passenger volume in the Highlander.
- The Ascent gets the edge over the Highlander in terms of engine torque, offering 277 pounds-foot compared to 263 pounds-foot from the Highlander.
