Winter-Ready Features in the 2023 Subaru Ascent

The 2023 Subaru Ascent brings plenty of winter-focused features and upgrades to help you tackle inclement weather and freezing temperatures. While the 2022 Ascent had great all-weather performance, the 2023 model brings further improvements for severe weather, namely in the Onyx Edition, Limited and Touring trim levels.

These models boast the newly-added dual-function X-Mode with Hill Descent Control. Dual-function X-Mode capabilities include Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud settings to help optimize all-wheel-drive during severe weather encounters. In other words, if you find yourself in a muddy or snowy situation, the 2023 Subaru Ascent is ready to assist.

Though the Onyx Edition, Limited and Touring trims host the premier winter-ready feature, all Ascent models bring Subaru’s Symmetrical all-wheel drive and 8.7 inches of ground clearance. The models that do not feature dual-function X-Mode have standard X-Mode, for peace of mind on all trim levels.

For a closer look at each trim level of the redesigned 2023 Subaru Ascent, check out the 2023 Subaru Ascent Trim Level Comparison on our Sommer’s Subaru blog.
