Subaru Ascent
Just like the Forester, the adventure-ready, three-row Subaru Ascent is an IIHS Top Safety Pick. It comes standard with all-wheel drive, the EyeSight advanced safety system and a new turbocharged 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine with a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds. You can fit up to 2,449 litres of cargo when all the rear seats are folded. Large families will also appreciate the 19 cupholders and the storage compartment behind the third row to stash weekend essentials.
