So, it's finally time for you to get behind the wheel of a new car. With so many vehicles on the market, it can be difficult to decide which one is the right fit for your lifestyle. At Charlie's Subaru near South Portland ME, we have a wide selection of the finest Subaru models for you to choose from, including the new Subaru Crosstrek and Subaru Ascent. We've decided to compare these two SUVs to help you find your match on our lot.
Comparing the Subaru Crosstrek and Subaru Ascent
Passenger Room
If you have a large family or group of friends, you may want to consider purchasing the Subaru Ascent. Known as "the biggest Subaru ever," this SUV is equipped with third-row seating and up to 153.5-cubic-feet of passenger volume. The second row of seats can be outfitted with two captain's chairs or a traditional three-seat row, which will allow everyone the stretching space they need on your next trip to Bangor.
Drivers who ride solo or with smaller groups will find comfort in the cabin of the Subaru Crosstrek. With up to 100.9-cubic-feet of passenger volume and seating for five, this four-door model has more than enough room to transport you and four friends to a weekend getaway outside of Augusta.
Towing Capacity
While both models are capable of hauling around your precious cargo, it is important to note that drivers with heavier loads will benefit from the capabilities of the Subaru Ascent. With a towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds, the Subaru Ascent is fit to tow most single axle camping trailers, multiple motorbikes, and snowmobiles. Avid kayakers, canoers, and bicyclists will find that the Subaru Crosstrek is a more efficient way to transport their lightweight goods, thanks to its 1,500-pound maximum towing capacity.
Safety Features
Whether you choose the Subaru Crosstrek or Subaru Ascent, you can breathe easy knowing that you're protected on the roads of Auburn. Both models come with a standard suite of EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, which includes:
- Automatic Pre-Collision Braking and Throttle Management
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Lane Keep Assist and Sway Warning
