The 2023 Subaru Ascent has a turbocharged 2.4-liter flat-four engine that produces 270 horsepower and 256 lb.-ft of torque. The X-Mode is a new addition to the 2023 Subaru Ascent. This feature improves the all-wheel-drive system even further, allowing the Subaru Ascent to navigate tough terrain and off-road environments better. When activated, X-Mode engages the Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) system, the Hill Descent Control (HDC) system, and the all-wheel-drive system, which provides more traction and stability when navigating harsh terrain. With X-Mode, you'll have better vehicle control even in the toughest conditions.
The new Subaru Ascent has a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT), providing smooth shifts throughout the drive. Regarding handling, the Subaru Ascent's CVT is known to handle power well, making it a great fit for this SUV. The transmission system also offers a variety of driving modes, such as Sport mode, which enhances performance by increasing throttle response and creating more aggressive gear ratios for a more engaging drive.
