While Subaru was originally known for manufacturing wagons and small SUVs that seat five, the automaker has expanded its lineup in recent years. In fact, if you’re one of the people who’s wondering if Subaru makes an 8-passenger vehicle, the answer is yes. The vehicle is called the 2022 Subaru Ascent.
2022 Subaru Ascent: Coming Soon
The upcoming 2022 Subaru Ascent will be larger than ever, with the ability to seat eight in its spacious cabin. The SUV boasts three rows of flexible seating for seven or eight passengers. If you’re looking to seat eight, you’ll want to choose the second-row bench seating rather than the captain’s chairs. This configuration offers up to 153.5 cubic feet of passenger volume with high-quality soft-touch surfaces, extra-wide rear door openings, and ample cargo space with underfloor storage.
Additional family-friendly interior features in this large Subaru SUV include a power rear gate that allows for automatic opening even when your arms are full, 19 cup and bottle holders, and an available 54-inch power tilt/sliding panoramic moonroof.
Ready for Adventure
Like all Subaru SUVs, the new 2022 Subaru Ascent is packed with adventure-ready off-road features. For instance, you’ll find 8.7 inches of ground clearance and X-MODE, which optimizes the Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive system for maximum traction on slippery surfaces. X-MODE also incorporates Hill Descent Control for stability and confidence when descending difficult grades.
If you’re looking to tow a boat or a trailer, you’ll be happy to learn that the Subaru Ascent offers the most towing capacity of any Subaru vehicle ever (5,000 lb), with an available Class III trailer hitch, 277 lb-ft of torque, and many racking accessories.
Bring your family over to Herb Gordon Subaru to test drive the Subaru Ascent.
