Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
Capability
The standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system in the 2025 Ascent 3-row SUV is designed to optimize traction in rain, snow, on bad roads, or even when there’s no road at all.

If a wheel slips, power is instantaneously transferred to the wheels that have the most grip.
Stability and Control
With its exceptionally balanced layout, Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive delivers a solid connection with the road and an engaged, responsive drive. The entire system lies along the centerline of the vehicle, balancing weight distribution between the two sides to help provide optimal performance and control.
