The Japanese Company is ready to launch its new family crossover 2019 Subaru Ascent that made a debut at the 2017 L.A. Auto Show in November. It is a three-row vehicle that is larger than Subaru Tribeca and it comes with the more interior room.
The new Ascent is made on Subaru’s Global Platform. Some company’s vehicles already ride on this platform, and the rest of the lineup will eventually follow these footsteps. Subaru spent a lot of money on this architecture so it is no wonder. Ascent is a well-equipped midsize SUV with the great specs, and it will compete with other segment leaders like Toyota Highlander or Ford Explorer.

The beltline looks swooping, and some classic Subaru cues can be seen, for example, the C-shaped LED daytime running lights. Or standard six-sided front grille, or the A-pillar windows. It will be offered with few trims Base, Premium, Limited and Touring.
