2023 Subaru Ascent for Sale near Morton Grove, IL
The 2023 Subaru Ascent is shown above with optional features.
Do you want to know why the 2023 Subaru Ascent is such a reliable vehicle? Our team at Evanston Subaru has the answers you're looking for in this overview. Continue reading to learn about this midsize SUV's safety features, cockpit, and capability.
EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology
Innovation has transformed the 2023 Ascent into a vessel of safety thanks to a plethora of elements under a system called EyeSight® Driver-Assist Technology¹. This digital detection system scans for errors in your driving and provides preventative measures to reduce accidents. For example, the standard Automatic Pre-Collision Braking² system autonomously engages stopping power if an incident is about to occur while you're traveling on streets like Dempster Street. Meanwhile, standard Automatic Emergency Steering³ helps you control this SUV when conditions are unpredictable. To complement this further, there's a standard Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering⁴, another sensor that corrects your driving and decreases hazards on the road.
Cabin
While you're commuting around the Morton Grove area in the 2023 Subaru Ascent, you'll have an opportunity to enjoy your favorite songs through the standard Apple CarPlay®⁵ and Android Auto™⁵ with wireless integration. Use the available 11.6-inch STARLINK touchscreen to connect your smartphone to the Ascent's operating system and broadcast your tunes as you cruise down I-94 Express. Increase your comfort even more by powering on the standard tri-zone automatic climate control, a system that allows you to adjust the temperature for the front passenger and crew members sitting in the rear chairs. This three-row vehicle can seat up to eight passengers. If you're riding solo, let down the standard 60/40 split-folding seats to utilize the 75.6 cubic ft. of cargo space⁶.
Performance
If you have a big load to carry, you’ll have an opportunity to hitch a utility trailer or other equipment to the Subaru Ascent and make use of the 5,000-lb. towing capacity⁷. This factor is capable thanks to the standard turbocharged 2.4L 4-cylinder engine that produces 260 horsepower and 277 lb.-ft. of torque. To help out with gear transitions and steady acceleration, Subaru engineered this SUV with a standard Lineartronic® Continuously Variable Transmission. The standard symmetrical AWD mechanism provides more traction, so you can challenge rugged terrain or inclement weather on Beckwith Road. Now that you have an idea what you’ll be getting, stop by our location during open hours when you’re ready to shop for this midsize SUV.

Testimonials
5 Star Service! A couple shout-outs. Jeff helped us get moving on a build sheet and purchase order, and was extremely communicat
Eddie my service guy was exceptional.
“ Eddie my service guy was exceptional. He originally got a “no” from the warranty company about my coverage, but called them back and talked to a supervisor. He persisted and got my repair covered, as it should be. It said it right there on the contract. He also worked with me on the best price for tires. Eddie was great! My only snafu was in picking up my car (the next morning because there was no courtesy driver available). I paid, then waited 10-15 minutes for my car to be driven up, which it never was. I finally walked around and found it, right outside the garage and tracked down someone to just give me my keys. Clearly, there was a mess up in communicating to someone to get me my car, even though both the cashier and a guy whose attention I was able to get said it should be coming soon. ”
They care about keeping our Subaru in the best running condition. Thank you for caring!
“ I bought this 2010 Forrester for my sister 12 years ago. We have taken our car to Evanston Subaru for all our service needs and have always been treated well. I recommend this dealership. It is staffed with good people and competent mechanics. The facility is always clean. This is noticeable. They even wash my car without being asked.. When the service personnel recommend areas needing attention, I trust them for caring for our safety. They care about keeping our Subaru in the best running condition. Thank you for caring! ”
George worked with my budget for an oil change and back brake replacement. Extremely kind.
“ Great. I called first so it would be OK to get my 2018 Subaru Forester towed in because the engine oil light came on, with a message on my dashboard. George told me since I didn't have an appointment it would be worked on the next day. (The towing service was great). They found a quart of oil missing, and some other things to fix. George worked with my budget for an oil change and back brake replacement. Extremely kind. Then they always fill the tires with air, and give a free carwash before I go. The technicians worked really hard in 104 degree weather. I waited in the waiting area: free coffee, water and a granola bar. Thank you! ”
Every experience I've had at this location has been great and I'm sure everyone who works here is wonderful.
“ Every experience I've had at this location has been great and I'm sure everyone who works here is wonderful. That said, Eric is a cut above — he's just incredible. We recently had to get a good amount of work done on our 2015 Forester which had not been taken in for some time. Eric walked me through several different options for repairs and servicing, all with different price breakdowns, and made sure I understood what each service/repair was and why he recommended it. He also worked with his service manager to get me a great deal by not charging to replace our AC condenser which had stopped working. I had stopped going to this location because we moved and it wasn't as convenient, but after this most recent experience with Eric I will only take my Forester here. Wish I could give more than 5 stars! ”
