Three-Row Subaru

24 March 2017

Go hunting with a camera from the automotive spotted testing a seven-seater Subaru Ascent

The prototype called Subaru Ascent was in lens light "protective uniform" under which was easy to recognize shapes already familiar to us the concept Viziv-7, presented at the motor show in Los Angeles in the past year. Looking at the concept, draw conclusions, that of visible features we can expect 21-inch wheels, large even for its class trunk and dual exhaust pipes. Rumor has it that the steering wheel and console dual screen likely to be borrowed from the new Impreza.

Subaru claim that the Ascent will be the largest car ever manufactured by the company. With in length 5181 mm, this SUV will be even more than a base Chevrolet Tahoe, although the MQB platform from VW may be extended for another long.

News the engine yet, but it is logical to assume, what the power unit will be able to master a full-size SUV – because the Subaru in the vaults there is only one suitable "oppozitnik", a volume of 3.6 liters and produces 256 HP (this is more powerful than the Mazda CX-9). The at least, no one wonder if the lineup of engines for Ascent will be a 2.0-liter "turboservice" from the WRX, at this unit is also sufficient capacity. In addition, global fashion hybrids dictates the rules, and because such powerplant does not come as a surprise, having in the allies of this "hybrid guru," as Toyota.

Considering the machine dimensions, it is clear that initially the Ascent is focused on the U.S. market, because to see him on the roads of Europe or Japan will be difficult, but the probability of occurrence of novelties on the Russian market – we love Bo-o-long SUVs with big wheels.
