2021 Subaru Ascent consumer reviews

7th Subaru for this Alaskan. This is the best I’ve ever had. Bought the Touring edition, new, & still blown away by the rig. Tested out with a cross country camping trip & comfort, adaptability, utilities, dependability - all a 5. Took a tent, but not even needed, w/firm foam to create a level, comfy bed area. Now I get why my cousin tried to replace his Ascent Touring with a Lincoln Navigator. Ended up selling the Nav to go back to an Ascent Touring. The first Sub I’ve had that Dad proclaimed ‘comfortable’ and ‘perfect’. I chose the Captains chairs for the 2nd seat, and passengers have loved the comfort & their view, as well as their controls, drink holders, etc. I love the options to simply control everything. Almost killed by a drunk driver long ago, I keep a very close eye on everything around me. Visibility in this rig is mind blowing. And that’s on top of all the cameras that monitor what’s happening. Safety features are perfect. Like listening to music, radio, podcasts? Sound in the Touring edition is heavenly. Very, very impressed with this rig.

Great car but excessive tones/beeps/alarms/etc. Jolting. You think something is wrong with the car. Especially the seat belt one—SCREAMS at you. Creates stupid drivers who rely on all these warnings.

We bought a new Subaru legacy in 22. Love this car. Had a Lincoln and had nothing but trouble with it so I sold it and bought a 21 accent. In my mind I took a step down at first. The more I drove the accent the more I don’t miss the Lincoln. The only issue I have had is a drivers window that will sometimes kicks back when closing. The drivers seat will squeak at times also. But I’m sure the dealer will fix it. Overall a very nice car.

This Ascent is our 8th Subaru, so you can see we love them. This model is awesome. We have the Touring, which has every option. It practically drives itself. No regrets ever!

The car rides smoothly and has a nice turn radius. It has get up and go. I love the color and it has plenty of room and a double sunroof.

Had my 2021 less than a year, with less than 800 miles on started having trouble with the seal on the sun/moon roof had 5 seals and a complete sun/moon roof replaced and still having problems with the seal

We have owned the 2021 Limited for a over a year and have about 28K miles on it. There have been no maintenance issues other than oil changes and replacing a cracked windshield, which is common in Alaska. The winter driving and handling is exceptional, and as of today we are completing an in-state road-trip with a bit over 29 mpg. Suspension handles rough roads well, and very good visibility. comfy seats on road trips with the angle of the drivers seat just right. If it performs this well for the next number of years it may be the best car we have owned, and we are seniors.

We just took our Subaru on a 9,600 mile road trip. The comfort was great. The Lumbar support was fantastic. Very spacious. Great suspension. Handled great at high speeds. We averaged 24 MPG. The Sirius Radio was incredible. I love the backup camera. We have no complaints and would buy a Subaru again tomorrow.

The styling is great. Still getting used to it. taking a trip next month, will know more then. So far it has met all of our expectations.

I just bought my car, but so far I love it. Very spacious (it’s a big car), comfortable and the features are amazing! It handles really well. I feel safe in the car.
