Subaru has revealed a new three-row SUV concept called the Ascent at the New York International Auto Show.

The concept is fitted with a turbocharged boxer 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and will be revealed in production trim next spring at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

Set to compete with Volkswagen’s Atlas, the Ascent measures 5 050mm long, 1 990mm wide and 1 840mm high, with a wheelbase of 2 970mm, and sits on 275/50 R21 tyres.

It will have space for up to eight passengers, come with all-wheel drive, and will be based on a modified version of Subaru’s latest global platform.

The Ascent will be exclusive to the North American market.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
