Our Pocatello, ID Subaru dealership is a great place to find a small or midsized SUV, but with four excellent options, which one works for you? With the new Subaru Forester and the three-row Ascent, you can't go wrong, but we here near Rockland will help you decide which of these SUVs works best for your travel needs, and just as importantly, the budget you're shopping with. Research both the Ascent and Forester here online, then find your way over to Phil Meador Subaru today to take a test drive in one or both of these premium SUVs.
The new Subaru Ascent, the newest model in our lineup, having just arrived a few years ago, stands out for one obvious reason: it's our only three-row vehicle. That's the way to go if your family has grown beyond the point where a five-seater will handle your daily errands and travels, as well as longer road trips you might like taking. This is also a great way to go for families with pets or drivers in charge of car pools, and while the third-row seats, like with most three-row SUVs, are a bit cramped for adult passengers, the Ascent can handle it all.
You'll also enjoy the 260-horsepower output delivered by the turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder in the Ascent, making it quite a bit more powerful than the Forester. With easily adjustable middle and rear seats for more cargo storage, the Ascent is great for drivers who need ample room for all their stuff. Along with all the typical Subaru features – standard EyeSight driver aids, standard all-wheel drive, and more – the Ascent stands out with a ridiculous 19 total cupholders, with some other small item storage compartments dotted throughout.
Of course where the relative newcomer Ascent stands out with its turbocharged performance levels and three rows of seating, the new Subaru Forester remains one of the finest small SUVs on the market. Its 2.5-liter four-cylinder isn't quite as powerful, but it does make the Forester one of the most efficient crossovers available, making it perfect for the daily commuter who also needs to handle light family driving and wants to head out on all kinds of weekend adventures.
Though smaller than its three-row counterpart, the Forester remains an amazingly spacious and comfortable SUV, with its rear seats easily folded down for better cargo management. You'll also be treated with a wealth of smart Subaru tech that keeps you safe, connected and entertained while you're on the go. The Forester also comes available in a number of versions, allowing you to stylize and equip this SUV in a way that suits your travel needs and wants, and for fitting into your budget.
Speaking of budget, as is the case for any larger vehicle, the Ascent will be at the higher range of our prices, while the Forester is a bit more affordable. Of course both of these SUVs are from Subaru, so making the right investment is easier than ever here in Pocatello. Get started quickly with a finance application, and then we'll go over your lease or loan options for both the new Ascent and Forester. Depending on your budget and what kinds of deals and specials you qualify for, you may find that bumping up to the three-row Ascent makes more sense, or you can choose a higher trim with more features with a fully loaded Forester.
You'll do amazingly well with either the new Forester or Ascent so get started by making your way over to Phil Meador Subaru today and we'll be more than happy to get you going with a test drive.
