Subaru Ascent MPG

Subaru Ascent MPG Across Trim Levels

With five distinct trim levels, the 2022 Ascent was designed to offer all the features you want with your new ride. Each trim level offers something unique, like advanced safety and infotainment features. Depending on which trim level you choose, you can expect only a slight variation in terms of overall fuel efficiency.

Thanks to the minimal difference in fuel efficiency, you can choose any of these trim levels and still have access to impressive fuel economy.

Subaru Ascent MPG Over the Years

The Subaru Ascent is a newer addition to the Subaru family. Although in just its third year, the Ascent has always made fuel efficiency a top priority, which is why there's been no need to boost this vehicle's fuel efficiency.

The Ascent has also always featured a 19.3-gallon fuel tank. This combination of consistent fuel efficiency and fuel tank size proves that Subaru engineers have always kept the driver in mind when creating this model.

Subaru Ascent Performance & Fuel Efficiency

The 2022 Subaru Ascent doesn't just let you travel long distances without the need to stop to refuel, though. It also provides the necessary power to make your commute a memorable, thrilling experience thanks to its impressive, turbocharged engine.

2022 Subaru Ascent Performance Specs:

• Engine: 2.4L turbocharged
• Horsepower: 260 HP
• Torque: 277 lb-ft

The Ascent is mated with a Lineartronic® CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) system. This transmission complements your vehicle's power by offering smooth transitions while also boosting your vehicle's fuel efficiency.

Unlike other types of transmissions, the Lineartronic® CVT features no set gears. Instead, the transmission is constantly in motion, always working to keep the transmission running at as low a gear as possible, which helps reduce fuel consumption.

Your Perfect Travel Companion

The 2022 Ascent comes standard with both Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and X-MODE®. These all-terrain systems work to provide the necessary traction to keep your SUV moving forward, even when the conditions of the road may cause others to turn back.

Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive works to perfectly balance power between the front and rear wheels, so you always have the right amount of traction to get from Point A to Point B, even in slippery conditions. Standard X-MODE® boosts this traction thanks to its ability to further optimize the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system.

With these two features on your side, you can travel along low-traction terrain with greater ease.

The Subaru Ascent also offers a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. That way, you can bring along your outdoor toys on your next adventure. Some of the travel companion options with this much capacity include:

• Small Hard-Side RV
• Couple of Jet Skis
• Small Recreational Boat
• Utility Trailer

Plus, with the standard Active Torque Vectoring and Trailer Stability Assist features, you'll experience a remarkably smooth and responsive ride.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Ascent Model's MPG

While the Subaru Ascent is specifically engineered to minimize trips to the gas station, there are a few simple things you can do to maximize your fuel economy every time you get behind the wheel, like:

• Regularly Changing Your Vehicle's Oil & Filter: Oil is the lifeblood of your vehicle's engine and needs to be replaced every 3,000 to 6,000 miles. Failure to keep up with this simple maintenance can cause your vehicle's engine to work harder, resulting in faster fuel consumption.
• Limiting Cargo Weight: While the Ascent provides impressive payload and trailering, you should still avoid carrying excessive loads on a regular basis to prevent overburdening your vehicle's internal system.
• Checking Your Vehicle's Tire Pressure: Under-inflated tires make your vehicle's engine work harder and can affect its overall MPG. Even a single drop in PSI (pounds per square inch) can have a noticeable effect. You should make it a point to check your tire pressure at least once per month and schedule regular tire rotations every six months.

If you ever have any additional questions concerning your Ascent model's MPG, your owner's manual is a great resource, or you can always speak with a licensed technician about best practices.
