5 Safety Features of the 2024 Subaru Ascent

The spacious 2024 Subaru Ascent SUV is packed with desirable high-tech functionality, but what does it do to keep you and your passengers safe? You’ll be glad to learn it has many sophisticated features to protect all occupants from harm. Stop by your LA Subaru dealership to see this Subaru SUV yourself!

 

1. EyeSight Driver Assist Technology

EyeSight Driver Assist Technology acts as an all-seeing set of eyes while you’re driving, and it has multiple parts. Pre-collision Braking surveys the situation ahead and applies emergency braking in anticipation of a frontal impact. Pre-Collision Throttle Management reduces engine power to lessen any damage.

Adaptive Cruise Control is another element of EyeSight Driver Assist. This maintains a safe distance between you and the vehicle in front when you’re using cruise control. A trio of features help prevent you from drifting out of your lane: Lane Departure Warning, Lane Sway Warning, and Lane Keep Assist.

2. Blind Spot Detection & Rear Cross-Traffic Alert

These technologies focus on impaired areas of driver vision, like the side-mirror blind spot during regular driving or traffic approaching from an angle while you’re reversing. The Ascent Touring model also has a Smart Rearview Mirror for rear visibility when your interior view is obscured. A camera mounted on the rear hatch delivers the image.

3. Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive

A standard feature on all Ascent models is Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, This system optimizes traction and stability to suit various driving conditions. It limits rolling and pitching in the chassis if the vehicle is placed under extra load, like when you’re braking or driving around corners. This is all helped by an engine that is mounted lengthwise, a symmetrically mounted 4WD drivetrain, and a purposefully low center of gravity.

4. Subaru Advanced Airbag System

All Ascent models come with comprehensive airbag protection as standard for all occupants of the vehicle. These are SRS airbags, meaning they are not meant to replace seatbelts as the primary safety restraint. The following are included: an advanced frontal airbag system, side curtain airbags with rollover sensors, seat-mounted front-side airbags, and driver’s knee airbags.

5. Rear Vision Camera with Washer

A standard 2024 Ascent feature is the rear backup camera, which projects an image onto the central console screen. Many modern cars have this feature, but they don’t all include a washer you can use to clean the camera if it becomes dirty during your drive. This ensures you always have a good view of potential hazards when reversing.
