Subaru Ascent
The Ascent is the largest SUV in the Subaru lineup and the only one with three rows of seats. Unlike most competitors, the engine under the hood is not a V6 but rather a turbocharged four-cylinder. Displacing 2.4 litres, this mill generates 260 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque. The base Convenience model can tow no more than 2,000 pounds, but every other Ascent is rated at 5,000 pounds.
