Frequently Asked Questions About the Subaru Ascent in Chicago, IL

Does the Subaru Ascent fit in standard Chicago parking garages?

Yes. While the Ascent is a spacious three-row SUV, it is designed with urban dimensions in mind. Its height and width allow it to navigate the majority of public and private parking structures in Chicago, including those in the Loop and Gold Coast, without the clearance issues often faced by full-size truck-based SUVs.

How does the Ascent handle the "pothole season" on Chicago streets?

The Subaru Ascent is built on the Subaru Global Platform, which provides a rigid body structure and 8.7 inches of ground clearance. This combination allows the suspension to effectively absorb the jolts of rough pavement on Western Avenue or Ashland Avenue, protecting your passengers from the impact of city potholes.

Can I get my Ascent serviced without driving to the dealership on Irving Park Road?

Absolutely. Berman Subaru of Chicago offers a complimentary Service Pick-Up and Delivery program for our Chicago customers. We will pick up your Ascent from your home or office, perform the necessary maintenance at our state-of-the-art facility, and return it to you, so you never have to fight city traffic for an oil change.

Is the Subaru Ascent's All-Wheel Drive effective for unplowed alleys in Chicago?

Yes. Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is a full-time system that proactively sends power to the wheels with the most grip. When combined with X-MODE®, which optimizes engine output and transmission ratios for slippery surfaces, the Ascent is exceptionally capable of pulling through deep snow in unplowed Chicago alleys or side streets.
