Subaru Ascent: Winter Safety on the Road for You and Your Crew

There is a reason you see many Subarus driven by locals in towns that get a lot of snow. Subarus are designed to keep you safe while driving on snowy roads. Do you have a larger family and want to play in the snow regularly? If so, here at Fitzgerald Subaru Rockville in Rockville, we have the Subaru Ascent for our Washington DC-area neighbors that need to seat up to eight passengers and drive safely on snowy and rainy roads.

Subaru Ascent

The Subaru Ascent is a stylish, larger SUV with three rows of seating for your chauffeur duties around Gaithersburg. It gets 260 horsepower and can tow up to 5,000 pounds of your favorite adventure trailer or other gear while still getting up to 26 miles per gallon of gasoline.

The Subaru Ascent's Winter Safety Features

Every Subaru Ascent comes standard with all-wheel drive. Subaru's all-wheel drive is intelligent. For one thing, this means that it is automatically engaged when needed and disengaged when you do not need it. That will save you at the pump as you drive around Silver Spring. Also, Subaru's all-wheel drive is designed to take torque away from the slipping wheels and provide more torque to the wheels with traction. This is safer than traditional all-wheel drive, with every wheel engaged with the same torque.

Also, the Subaru Ascent comes standard with drive modes that you can set manually with the turn of a dial. These drive modes allow you to choose between different driving conditions on the road around and beyond North Bethesda in real-time, such as deep snow, off-road, and muddy conditions. The drive modes come with hill descent control that helps keep you from plummeting down an icy hill. The Ascent also has 8.7 inches of ground clearance to help you when the snow plows cannot keep up.
