Fuel efficiency is an aspect that a lot of car shoppers home in on before making their final choice on a vehicle. After all, people want to be able to maximize their trips and get as much usage from their fuel tank as possible. The Subaru Ascent does a great job of fulfilling these criteria since it offers drivers an EPA-estimated 21 city/27 highway MPG fuel efficiency.
The team at Bill Rapp Subaru is here to let drivers in Syracuse, Oneida, and Liverpool know how the Subaru Ascent is able to achieve such excellent gas mileage. We'll take a look at different factors that contribute to its fuel efficiency. Once you're done reading, we'll invite you to head down and take a peek at this masterful sport utility vehicle for yourself!
Subaru Ascent: Engine Specs
Subaru has developed a stellar reputation for offering vehicles that place an emphasis on great fuel efficiency and solid MPG. A lot of credit for this superb Subaru MPG goes to its masterful powertrain.
The 2021 Subaru Ascent has four different trim levels:
- Subaru Ascent
- Ascent Premium
- Ascent Limited
- Ascent Touring
All these models carry a 2.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder SUBARU BOXER® engine that boasts 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque.
While the engine is powerful in its own right, it's complemented by other features that really enhance your car's overall performance and help with fuel efficiency.
Subaru Ascent: Road Performance
Every trim level of the Subaru Ascent comes standard with a Lineartronic® CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). This type of transmission operates smoothly as you climb hills and mountains. Since it's lightweight, it offers better power efficiency, which only improves the fuel economy.
Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is another feature you'll find on all trim levels of the Subaru Ascent. It sends a jolt of power to all wheels on the vehicle, giving it maximum traction on tough terrain, like mud and snow.
Subaru Ascent: Fuel Efficiency
The Ascent carries a 19.3-gallon fuel tank, which comes as no surprise when you look at the size of the car. The base model weighs 4,430 pounds, so it makes sense that a bigger, heftier car will carry a larger fuel tank. The bigger tank is definitely a plus since carrying more fuel means driving farther and longer between stops at the gas station.
The standard Ascent and the Ascent Premium will get an EPA-estimated 21 city/27 highway MPG. Meanwhile, the other two trim levels, the Ascent Limited and the Ascent Touring, offer an EPA-estimated 20 city/26 highway MPG.
