Yet, some inherent similarities and differences exist between these two models.

Performance

In their standard layout, the Subaru Ascent and the Subaru Ascent Premium both rely on a 2.4-liter turbocharged SUBARU BOXER 4-cylinder engine that is distinctive to this particular brand. Each relies on All-Wheel Drive to enhance their ride and adaption to various terrain conditions, as well as Vehicle Dynamics Control. While both of these SUVs utilize a CVT, they do differ in their towing capacity. The Subaru Ascent can haul up to 2,000 pounds, while the Subaru Ascent Premium can tow up to 5,000 pounds.

Appearance

On the outside, the Subaru Ascent and Subaru Ascent Premium are the vision of rugged yet modern. These models vary in the level of athleticism they portray, with the Subaru Ascent displaying silver-finished aluminum alloy wheels and black-colored folding mirrors and the Subaru Ascent Premium displaying gray aluminum-alloy wheels with a machine finish and body-colored mirrors. Yet, each one has body-colored door handles, LED headlights, and raised roof rails that complete their all-terrain aesthetic.

Features

Despite their similar appearance and performance, the Subaru Ascent and Subaru Ascent Premium differ in more subtle ways that make a big difference. The Subaru Ascent Premium is more upscale with its leather-trimmed seating, stain-resistant upholstery, and heated front seats, while the Subaru Ascent is content with cloth upholstery and reclining rear seats. Each of these models are just as enticing, but the Subaru Ascent Premium takes it a step further.
