With standard symmetrical All Wheel Drive and an abundance of passenger space, the three row Subaru Ascent is appealing to those with a large family. I often over look Subaru however during this test drive and review I noticed a quiet and smooth ride, plenty of safety technology and like the multi configurable captain chairs. With a versatile cabin and standard features can the 2022 Subaru Ascent Limited compete against the top mid size SUVs! #subaru#subaruascent#carsunlocked

Time to unlock the 2022 Subaru Ascent. It's got an MSRP of $48,295. We have the limited model here,
let's check it out. Let's do a quick little walk around here guys of the limited package.
This one's going to come equipped with our fully automatic steering tracing LED headlights as well
so this will help as you make those turns and give you a bit more vision. This one is sitting
on these nice 20 inch machine finish kind of two-tone aluminum alloy rims here so I really
like the rims and this one comes with our LED turning accents right on our mirror. Nice large
black roof rails and our chrome accents kind of all throughout the windows. On the rear of the
Ascent we're going to have our chrome badging and a nice chrome bumper strip. This one's going to
come with the Subaru symmetrical all-wheel drive which they're very proud of and rightfully so.
Great all-wheel drive system. We're going to have a backup camera, rear parking sensors as well. We
got this nice dual exhaust kind of with these chrome exhaust tips finishes right on the bottom.
Here's one of my few complaints here. Not a lot of cargo storage when you have the back seats up.
You have a little hidden storage underneath but we had to move a lot of our equipment out just
to get this shot here for you guys but obviously when you fold the back seats down you have a lot
more space so it all depends. If you're going to be using the back seats often you're going to
sacrifice a bit of cargo. Special thanks to my friends at Subaru of Niagara for providing us
with the vehicle guys. If you guys have questions about this they're your go-tos in the Niagara
region and as always subscribe to my channel if you guys want to see more videos like this. We're
going to be doing more 2022s as they come in. Power plan on the Ascent. This one's going to come
with 2.4 liter turbocharged engine. It's going to give you about 260 horsepower and 277 pound
speed torque. It's going to have direct injection gasoline CVT transmission. For fuel economy we're
going to average about 24 mpg in the city and 31 on the highway. That's about 11.7 liters for every
100 kilometers and 9 liters for every 100 kilometers on the highway. So not bad fuel
economy coming out of this small turbocharged engine. Let's start it up and take a look at the
infotainment. Look at this guys. 8 inch touchscreen here. Subaru Starlink connectivity. You have all
your apps. Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, GPS navigation. Obviously you have your Bluetooth
for your phone. Serious satellite streaming. Backup camera is going to come on automatically.
This is always a test for me is how you enter the third row. This one comes with these captain
chairs in the second row. You can get an eight seat configuration if you want the middle bench.
Let's see how they fold up. One touch and slide. You know what? That was pretty easy. I can pull it
back. Not bad. Let's see if I can escape. Not bad Subaru. Not bad at all. As I'm sitting in this
center spot here I do have a lot of fun back here. We got two USBs, cup holders, a little storage,
heated seats in these captain chairs, and I can control my temperature. Cup holder. There's two
cup holders in each door. And for the rear, our rear passengers are also going to get USB inputs.
They're also going to get cup holders. So pretty much everything you need for your family. I love
this huge sunroof. Like this is a big sunroof. Goes all the way to the back. Obviously your
front one's only going to open up. Full panoramic. So we got the nice curtains that'll help protect
some of the UV rays. Not a bad little seven seater for the price. So what do you guys think?
Have you driven the Subaru Accent? Like does it do the job for your family? Let me know in the
comments if you have one or if you've driven one, if you've test driven one. But I like what I'm
seeing here. It is overall like a large vehicle. That's what you expect in this in this class. It
does sit up pretty high compared to some of the competitors. But let's look at what we got going
on on the business end here. You have memory positions for your seat. I like this nice black
leather. And then we have this kind of cream colored leather accenting all throughout that
goes through the middle of the dash. You have memory positions for the trunk as well. And then
we have a blind spot detection. You have our lane centering assistant. We have our intelligent
cruise control and our lane sway control. Rear cross traffic alert. Pre-collision assist. So
a ton of safety features that's going to help reduce your accidents. The mirrors are power
folding and they will fold in as well. So quite a bit of bells and whistles that you're looking for.
You have the Subaru X mode that complements the all wheel drive as well. So there's a few different
drive modes that you can drive in. 14 Harman Kardon speakers. So a nice large sound system,
which is going to be perfect if you have kids who are into music and hip hop and things like that.
So nice large backup camera. Can't say any bad things about the backup camera. And you have your
rear emergency alert as well, right on the screen here. Overall, I do like the drive of this Accent.
You guys comment below if you've driven it or not. One thing I like is it takes off. Like let's just
do a quick little accele here. Not a bad little take off. 5,000 pounds towing. So not best in
its class, but it will tow pretty much what you need. If you have anything heavier, you should be
going up to a pickup truck to tow it. So can't complain about the Accent guys. Comment below.
