Auto123 reviews the 2022 Subaru Ascent Onyx, the new formal-wear version of the Japanese manufacturer's mid-size SUV.
As we've seen over the past few seasons, the automotive industry is dedicated to finding relatively inexpensive ways to attract more customers. One of those ways is to sell adventure to customers via rugged appearance packages on otherwise urban SUVs. But don’t forget what I’ll call the Classy Formalwear look, those special editions that turn many of a model’s visual elements black for a more look sometimes more menacing, sometimes more sporty.
Yes, it's true that the dark theme has been used by various automakers in recent history and Subaru isn’t exactly pioneering the genre, but we have to admit that this version is a nice addition for a model whose lukewarm design hasn't really won over all that many big-SUV buyers. As it is wont to do, Subaru’s designers department preferred to take a conservative styling approach with the Ascent, rather than going with something more off the beaten path.
The dashboard is typically Subaru, meaning there are big buttons that are easy to use on a daily basis, although the ventilation controls are a bit low. On the other hand, the presence of these three knobs makes it easy to adjust the temperature in the cabin. In this case, the 2.4L turbocharged flat-4 delivers 260 hp and 277 lb-ft of peak torque, which is right on par for the category. To send that power through the four-wheel drive system, Subaru relies on a continuously variable transmission, a format that the brand's engineers have mastered quite well. But for those who want a vehicle that is dynamic as well as stolid, the Ascent is not exactly an ideal candidate.
