Long daily drives demand more than just a powerful engine—they require comfort, technology, efficiency, and a commitment to safety. The 2025 Subaru Ascent is purpose-built for those exact needs. Whether you're navigating weekday traffic or planning a weekend family road trip, the Ascent brings a blend of performance, convenience, and reliability that makes it a standout choice for commuters.

At Ken Ganley Subaru East, our goal is to help you discover how Subaru’s latest engineering marvel can transform your everyday travel into a seamless, enjoyable experience. Let’s dive into how the 2025 Ascent meets the unique demands of long-distance commuting.

1. Spacious and Ergonomic Interior

When you’re spending hours behind the wheel, the last thing you want is a cramped cabin. The 2025 Subaru Ascent features three rows of seating and generous legroom for all passengers, ensuring maximum comfort during extended drives. The power-adjustable, heated front seats help maintain optimal posture and reduce fatigue—even on the longest commutes.

Its noise-insulated cabin creates a quiet driving environment, shielding you from external distractions like traffic or construction zones. For families or professionals who need to stay connected and comfortable, this makes a world of difference.

2. Smooth Performance with Turbocharged Efficiency

Under the hood, the 2025 Ascent is powered by a 2.4-liter turbocharged BOXER® engine delivering 260 horsepower. This powertrain ensures that merging onto highways or overtaking slower vehicles is smooth and stress-free.

Its Lineartronic® CVT and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive provide outstanding control and fuel efficiency—two crucial aspects for those who drive long distances daily. You can expect the Ascent to offer up to 26 MPG on the highway, which keeps fuel costs manageable for regular commuters.

3. Advanced Driver Assistance: EyeSight® Technology

One of the most compelling reasons commuters love the Subaru Ascent is the standard EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, which reduces driver fatigue and improves overall road safety. This suite includes:

  • Adaptive Cruise Control
     

  • Lane Keep Assist
     

  • Pre-Collision Braking
     

  • Lane Departure Warning
     

For an in-depth understanding of this feature, check out our dedicated article on EyeSight in the 2025 Forester—the same core tech applies to the Ascent as well.

These intelligent systems work together to assist you in traffic, long highway stretches, or busy city roads, minimizing the stress that typically comes with long-distance driving.

4. Connectivity and Entertainment On the Go

Staying connected during a commute is more important than ever. The Ascent features a high-resolution 11.6-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, allowing you to access your favorite apps, playlists, and navigation tools effortlessly.

For families or carpoolers, the available Wi-Fi hotspot and Harman Kardon® premium audio system make the journey more enjoyable, turning your commute into an experience rather than a chore.

5. Safety and Reliability You Can Trust

Subaru’s legendary safety record continues in the 2025 Ascent. With its 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score from NHTSA, standard LED steering-responsive headlights, and 360-degree camera system, you get unmatched peace of mind.

In addition to safety, Subaru’s long-term dependability is a huge asset for commuters who plan to rack up the miles. Whether buying new or used, Subaru models hold their value. Explore our quality used vehicles if you're looking for even more value with the same Subaru performance.

6. Cargo Room for Work and Life

Commuters often juggle more than just the drive—there’s equipment, groceries, gym gear, or even weekend travel bags. With up to 86.5 cubic feet of cargo space and power rear gate, the 2025 Ascent makes it simple to carry everything you need.

The Ascent also features plenty of clever storage compartments, USB ports in all rows, and up to 19 cupholders, catering to both solo drivers and large families.
