What Driver-Assist Features Come With the Subaru Ascent?
In a world full of distractions, the Subaru Ascent works tirelessly to keep you and your loved ones safe. This SUV comes standard with Subaru EyeSight®, a suite of advanced driver-assist features that keep you safe and alerted to your vehicle’s surroundings.
Features included with EyeSight® are:
- Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering
- Pre-Collision Braking
- Lane Keep and Sway Warning
- Lane Keep Assist
- Automatic Emergency Steering
Cameras and sensors scan a range around your SUV and alert you to hazards you may have missed. One notable feature of the Subaru Ascent safety features is its lane-keeping capabilities. This feature gently corrects your steering if your SUV begins to drift without signaling a lane change. It works hand-in-hand with Lane Keep and Sway Warning to help you stay on course, especially during long drives or heavy highway traffic.
What Collision Prevention Technology Is Included in the Ascent?
The Subaru Ascent comes standard with several collision prevention features. In addition to EyeSight®, the Subaru Ascent includes these standard and available features:
- Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
- Reverse Automatic Braking
- Surround View Monitor
- DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System
These features give you eyes where you need them most, especially when parking, changing lanes, or navigating tight spaces. Combined, they form a powerful collision avoidance system that boosts driver confidence in any setting.
Is the Subaru Ascent a Good SUV for Families?
Without a doubt, the Subaru Ascent is an ideal SUV for families. With three rows of seating, easy-access LATCH anchors, and an advanced airbag system, the Ascent was designed with growing households in mind. Plus, safety services like Subaru STARLINK® Safety and Security give parents extra peace of mind with features like:
- Automatic Collision Notification
- SOS Emergency Assistance
- Enhanced Roadside Assistance
The Subaru Ascent is a vehicle that protects your passengers and keeps you connected to help when you need it.
How Safe Is the Subaru Ascent in a Crash Test?
The Subaru Ascent’s frame is built on the Subaru Global Platform, which uses high-strength steel to absorb and divert energy during a collision. The Ascent has four different airbag systems, which further help minimize injury if an unexpected collision occurs.
Prestigious third-party safety organizations like the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) frequently recognize the Subaru Ascent as a safe vehicle. Its most recent model year was named a 2025 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK and granted a 5-Star Overall Safety Rating from the NHTSA.
Combined with its other advanced safety systems, the Ascent’s crash test performance speaks volumes about its family-first design.
