Subaru to Debut Three-Row SUV in L.A.

Subaru will debut its 2019 Ascent three-row SUV ahead of the Los Angeles Auto Show. The Ascent was shown as a concept vehicle in April at the New York International Auto Show.

Rather than revealing the Ascent with a traditional press conference, Subaru will live-stream the reveal on Nov. 28, during AutoMobilityLA, the trade show that preceeds the Los Angeles show.

The Ascent will arrive as a seven-passenger mid-size SUV that will be powered by a new turbocharged direct-injection boxer engine. It has a 117-inch wheelbase and overall length of 198.8 inches.

The overall length would put the Ascent toward the smaller end of 2018 three-row SUVs. The Chevrolet Traverse is 204.3 inches, while the Ford Expedition is 210 inches.
