But, this year’s Ascent adds a few updates to the safety feature suite.

1. Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control
We spoke about advanced adaptive cruise control in a previous blog post, but it’s the latest addition to the EyeSight driver assistance technology suite. This amenity not only lets you pick the distance you want to keep from the vehicle in front of you, but it also uses lane centering technology to keep you in your lane.
This makes it ideal for longer trips on highways like the NJ Turnpike, Garden State Parkway, I-80 & I-287. Advanced adaptive cruise control joins EyeSight’s lane keep assist & sway warning and pre-collision braking & throttle management to give you added awareness & peace of mind to enjoy your ride.

2. Steering Responsive LED Headlights
Another upgrade on last year’s Subaru Ascent that now comes standard in the 2021 edition at our dealership serving Emerson NJ is steering responsive LED headlights. These enhance visibility by actually tracking the light emitted into the direction you turn the vehicle, so you can see potential objects you may have missed.
Paired with these headlights is high beam assist capability. Working in sync with EyeSight, high beam assist will automatically switch the high beams to the low setting when an oncoming vehicle is detected to keep that glare out of their eyes to prevent a potential accident.

3. Rear Seat Belt Reminder
Last but not least is the addition of a seat belt reminder for the 2nd and 3rd rows, which has a 3-point seat belt in every seat, that deliver both audible & visual warnings in the event that a passenger's seatbelt is not fastened as the Ascent accelerates from a stop. These come standard in every trim, which are comprised of:
- Subaru Ascent
- Subaru Ascent Premium
- Subaru Ascent Limited
- Subaru Ascent Touring
The 2021 Subaru Ascent provides more than just safety. Here are a few of this SUV’s highlights:
- SUBARU STARLINK Entertainment Anywhere Kit with 2 32GB Apple iPads with WiFi, 2 OtterBox Defender cases & 2 Harman Kardon Bluetooth headphones
- Maximum towing capacity of 5,000 lbs
