Subaru used to call its 7-passenger flagship the Tribeca, first introduced for the 2006 model year.  The last one rolled off the assembly line in 2014.  Customers asked for more room in the third row, more power, and more utility.  Now you have it.  Subaru's new flagship bears so little resemblance to the Tribeca that they changed the name.  They start in the $30s and range to the upper $40s. See current pricing here. With 26 mpg highway fuel economy, a 500 mile range, and NINETEEN cupholders (count them all below), plan on stopping to pee more often than you stop for gas!

  



We're really impressed after driving the Ascent...plenty of power from a compact, and spacious! We couldn't help ourselves in marveling at just how big it is. The passenger compartment is airy, the panoramic moonroof enormous, and the cargo area as big as a contractor van when the seats are folded down. If you need to haul a lot of lass (and/or lad), you're going to love this vehicle. The quality of the materials and the fit/finish are as nice as vehicles costing a lot more.  Just wait until you hear the sound system!
