New Subaru Ascent for Sale, Serving Hockessin, DE
New Subaru Ascent Serving Hockessin, DE
The Subaru Ascent is Subaru's three-row family SUV — the vehicle for Hockessin families that have outgrown two-row capacity and want standard all-wheel drive, genuine third-row adult space, and the towing capability to pull a boat or trailer without a separate truck. Winner Subaru carries the full Ascent lineup. Browse Ascent inventory or call (302) 493-4638). We're approximately 44 miles south of Hockessin via US-13 South, about 45 minutes from Hockessin.
Hockessin's family demographic — high-income households, well-educated buyers, median home values near $635,000 — represents exactly the buyer profile the Ascent is built for. A 5,000-lb tow rating means boats, horse trailers, and large recreational equipment aren't a problem. Standard Symmetrical AWD handles the Red Clay Creek valley roads and hilly Lancaster Pike terrain through every season. And with seating for up to eight passengers across three rows, every family member fits — including the ones who've gotten tall enough to care about third-row legroom.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many passengers does the Subaru Ascent seat?
The Subaru Ascent seats up to 8 passengers in three rows with the standard bench second-row seat. The Premium, Limited, and Touring trims with captain's chairs reduce seating to 7 passengers. All configurations provide genuine third-row adult legroom, not the compromised space common in competing three-row crossovers.
What is the towing capacity of the Subaru Ascent?
The Subaru Ascent has a maximum tow rating of 5,000 lbs on properly equipped models — the highest towing capacity in the Subaru lineup. This covers most boats, utility trailers, and horse trailers that Hockessin-area buyers tow regularly.
What engine does the Subaru Ascent use?
Every Subaru Ascent uses the turbocharged 2.4-liter BOXER engine producing 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque, paired with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. There is no non-turbocharged Ascent — the 260-hp engine is standard across all trims.
Is the Subaru Ascent a good alternative to a German three-row SUV for Hockessin buyers?
The Ascent is a competitive alternative to three-row alternatives from Audi, BMW, and Volvo for buyers who prioritize standard AWD, genuine cargo space, towing capability, and long-term reliability over brand prestige. At Ascent price points, Delaware's no-sales-tax advantage makes the comparison even stronger.
