Subaru Forester for Families: Everyday Adventures Made Easy

Whether you’re heading out for a weekend adventure or simply tackling your weekday routine, the 2025 Subaru Ascent offers a smooth balance of power, control, and efficiency. This three-row SUV delivers the performance you need, without compromising the comfort your family deserves.

Strength Under the Hood

Every 2025 Ascent comes powered by a 2.4-liter turbocharged SUBARU BOXER® engine. It’s built to provide strong acceleration and hauling power without sacrificing fuel economy.

Performance Highlights:

• 2.4-liter turbocharged SUBARU BOXER® engine
• 260 horsepower
• 277 lb-ft of torque
• Up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity

This means the Ascent is capable enough for boats, trailers, or fully loaded road trips. Even with its size, it still offers quick off-the-line acceleration and responsive highway cruising.

Legendary Subaru AWD Comes Standard

The 2025 Ascent performance advantage starts with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Unlike many competitors that charge extra, Subaru makes sure every trim level includes AWD for enhanced grip and stability.

Handling Features:

• Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
• X-MODE® with Hill Descent Control
• 8.7 inches of ground clearance

These features make the Ascent equally prepared for wet pavement, gravel trails, or snowy roads. Whether you’re commuting in Santa Cruz or venturing into the redwoods, the Ascent keeps you steady.

Impressive Fuel Economy for a Three-Row SUV

The 2025 Ascent performance doesn’t stop at power. It also delivers surprising efficiency for its size.

Fuel Economy Estimates:

• Up to 26 MPG highway
• 21 MPG city
• Over 500-mile range with a full tank

So whether you’re running errands or planning a cross-state trip, you’ll be making fewer stops at the pump.

Smooth Ride, Confident Control

Subaru engineered the 2025 Ascent to be as composed on mountain curves as it is in urban traffic. A well-tuned suspension system helps absorb bumps and keep the cabin comfortable.

Ride and Handling Benefits:

• Stable and smooth ride quality
• Quiet interior, even at highway speeds
• Responsive steering and braking

You get the feeling of total control behind the wheel, while passengers enjoy a relaxing, noise-dampened cabin.

Safety and Stability Built In

As part of the 2025 Ascent performance story, safety remains a top priority. Subaru includes EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology standard across all trims.

Key Safety Features:

• Pre-Collision Braking System
• Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering
• Lane Keep Assist and Sway Warning
• Blind-Spot Detection and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (available)

These systems support confident driving, helping you avoid hazards before they become problems.
