The Subaru Ascent is a mid-size crossover SUV with three-row seating produced by Subaru.

Lafayette, Indiana The Ascent is built at Subaru of Indiana Automotive (SIA), a Zero-Landfill Facility in Lafayette, Indiana, along with Crosstrek (2.5-liter), Legacy and Outback.

With the company's trademark all-wheel-drive system, the Ascent is well suited for four-season family road trips. Its 260-horsepower turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder powertrain delivers middling acceleration - a 6.7-second 60-mph time - and can be noisy under duress, but it'll pull a camper trailer or speedboat.

The Subaru Ascent was originally introduced as a concept car at the 2017 New York International Auto Show, where it was also announced that Subaru would be producing the vehicle at its Lafayette, Indiana Assembly Plant, with production beginning in early 2018, alongside the current Subaru Impreza.

A list of some of the most common issues Ascent owners have to deal with.

• Denso Fuel Pump Failure. The impellers inside of Denso branded fuel pumps may have been excessively exposed to a drying agent during manufacturing.
• CAN System Parasitic Drain on the Battery.
• Cracked Windshields.
• Subaru EyeSight Problems.

Subaru Global Platform Plus, there's the passive protection of the Subaru Global Platform - made with high-strength steel for enhanced crash safety - seven airbags, and a standard ring-shaped reinforcement frame.

Subaru is a subsidiary of the Subaru Corporation, formerly known as Fuji Heavy Industries, which Toyota does have a small stake in. That said, while Subaru does partner with Toyota on multiple models, such as the Solterra (built in a Toyota factory) and BRZ, it is still an independent company.

Subaru is Japanese, though their only factory outside of Japan is in Indiana. The ‎Subaru of Indiana Automotive factory produces a large number of the models sold here, and employs over 5,900 workers.

No matter the challenge, Subaru designs vehicles that give drivers a strong sense of control, maneuverability and security. That's why we created Subaru Mobility Assist, a program that helps Subaru drivers with disabilities get the vehicle modifications they need in order to keep them safe and active.

If you are talking about a great all-around brand with a reputation for safety, Subaru is there. With models winning safety awards year after year, Subaru is a go-to for most when it comes to choosing a car for safety reasons. Safety, community, reliability, and human connection are all a part of the Subaru brand.

Subaru Ascent complaints also include fuel system issues. Specific issues include, but are not limited to, emission control devices, fuel leaks, the fuel injection system, engine computer, fuel cap, and stalling. It goes without saying that the fuel system of your car is essential.
