Subaru Ascent SUV concept aims for three-row domination

Subaru will produce a seven-seat SUV called the Ascent for 2018. Let's hope it looks like this concept.

I love two-seater, RWD convertibles and own a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata for pavement fun and a lifted 2001 Miata for pre-running. I race air-cooled Volkswagens in desert races like the Mint 400 and the Baja 1000. I have won the Rebelle Rally, seven-day navigational challenge, twice and I am the only driver to compete in an EV, the Rivian R1T.

Welcome to the Subaru Ascent, a three-row SUV concept that gives us a hint of what the production 2018 model will look like.

While Subaru emphasized that this Ascent is a concept, it did let it slip that the production model will feature an all-new 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine.

The concept takes a few styling cues from the Viziv-7 concept Subaru showed at last year's Los Angeles Auto Show.

The rear has a bit of a sporty look thanks to the recessed dual exhaust tips.

The headlight design is echoed in the taillights.

The inside looks to be bright and airy, thanks to a panoramic moonroof.
