Veeky Forums's Thoughts on Subaru's new 2019 Ascent?

It will debut in an hour
subaru.com/2017-laas

I heard it supposed to have a new engine that hasn't been used in any other subaru yet.
>inb4 it's another Tribeca fuck up

Call me when the Crosstrek has a 200bhp engine that doesn't burn oil.

Neat, I was mulling over a 4runner or a Traverse.

Good to know there will be another option on the horizon, I'm a sucker for good-proportioned midsize SUVs, none of that unibody blob fwd bullshit.

152 hp is pretty sad, especially on that CVT. Never heard of one burning oil though.

They new subie engine can drink oil just like the old ones did.

My mother has a 16 crosstrek. It's certainly not fast, but it's fine to drive and keep up with traffic. Zero enjoyment, but it's not dangerously slow.

So I work at a subaru dealership and am not excited for this, as I wash cars. I didn't think they could possibly make a bigger car.

I love how small and easy a legacy or impreza is to wash even, ugh these things will not be an improvement

Why hype up just another boring people mover?

It's supposedly going to have a new 2.4L turbo engine. Not that that's anything new in the Crossover world. Still a branch out for Subaru.

It looks exactly like its competitors.
Apparently has a direct injection turbo fart box for the emm pee gees while making a little power.
Nothing really interesting.

>potato quality picture
Still looks pretty good imho

I wonder if it will have a performance model like the Forester XT.

I love my 2016 XT, just wish it came in a manual.

Looks pretty decent like most of the lineup (with the exception of the pigfat WRX).

Debut is Starting!

This voice over is the fucking gayest shit. Jesus.

Puppers redeemed it

2.4L Turbo Confirmed

"the barkleys"

5000lbs tow capacity?
Captains chair seats available at no cost
Starts in the low $30,000s

277 ft-lb at 2k rpm, wtf

Bit what are the specs?! 95% certain this 2.4 turbo will be in the SGP based STI

The Crosstrek has 152hp?

Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooly fuck.

277 bhp perhaps?

Probably really under square, won't rev high.

148 I believe, and the manual somehow manages to be worse than the CVT.

Nope, 260 bhp, 277 ft-lb

Sauce me up, good sir. Thats still better than the 2.5 turbo Mazda uses in the CX-9

Wow... this thing was worth the wait.

That's one less ft-lb than my '06 Tacoma with a 4.0L V6

The 2018 model has a revised DI 2.0-makes 152hp now

Burgers killed Subaru.

>not posting the S402
Why even live

260hp and 277ft/lbs is what the video claims.
Mazda's next generation Skyactiv 2.5 should be in line with that, their 2L is getting boosted to 190hp. The larger 2.5L should be considerably more powerful than the current 184hp.

Its not that crazy for a 4 cylinder, Volvo has been there and done that. What Mazda has going for them is the fuel efficiency. I haven't seen Subaru's mileage estimates yet so I wouldn't be too shocked about the paper figure comparison.

Subarus are so boring

Crossovers*

fixed that for you my lad

Looks just like it without the S402 badge on the grille. Mah dream wagon right thurr

Mazda designed that engine for low end torque and fuel economy. Considering Subie tested this along with CX9s and Explorers I'm sure they met their benchmark in regard to engine tuning for a big ass Outback

>148 I believe, and the manual somehow manages to be worse than the CVT.

lol what a shit company

who cares? it's a new piece of shit crossover and a piece of shit subaru.

They sell more of these=they have more funding to develop better 'performance' cars...kinda like what Porsche was able to do thanks to the Cayenne

Its pretty huge if it can stow a 7ft long parcel in the back without crushing the front seats its not cross over territory. Its a full size SUV.

who cares about shitty subaru "perfomance" cars? boxers are inferior.

unibody = crossover

>it's a generic pigfat crossover
They could have at least tried to make it interesting.

How did she even get those pants on?

Subjective opinion is balls. Watch, people will eat these fucking things up and they will struggle to meet demand.

>Sounds like some nog got booty blasted from a cheap WRX

why would they eat up this crossover compared to the others?

crossovers are pigfat arr rook same, and nothing stands out between them all.

Photoshop

A Forester impregnated an Outback.

I just want them to bring the Levorg to the US
