The newly-released, fuel-efficient 2008 Isuzu Ascender was recently placed by U.S. World & news Report together of the top 25 "Midsize Affordable SUVs" in the U.S. In the 2008 GMC Envoy and terms of safety features, the same rating was received by the 2008 Ascender whilst the 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer.
U.S. News & World Report noted that the 2008 Isuzu Ascender fared well in crash tests conducted by the federal government, particularly in side-impact crashes. Based on the report in U.S. Information, the Ascender received five out of five stars in government crash tests (if you had prefer to see for yourself, always check out the Ascender's site on the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration's web site for the full report) for both front and rear-seat passenger safety. Certainly one of the many reasons the Isuzu Ascender gained this type of positive rating is that side-impact airbags now come standard in the 2008 design.
The Ascender comes standard with fog lights and daytime running lights, and also contains a particular security control system called Stabilitrak StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control. The device includes footing control with security control systems, in addition to anti-lock brakes. Together, the three are designed to help the driver keep online control of the car.
As well as its active safety features, passive safety features have been also upgraded by the 2008 model. Air bags are offered by the 2008 Ascender for both the driver and leading passenger, along with normal head-curtain side-impact air bags. These air bags were options on the 2007 type. An automatic air bag suppression system is also featured by the newer Ascender designed to deactivate the front-passenger airbag and reduce airbag-related accidents.
The Isuzu Ascender also has a human body type that enables for exemplary visibility from the driver's seat. In comparison, U.S. News & World Report observed that, with regards to the 2008 Mazda CX-7, "test individuals have expressed concern, however, about damaged front visibility because of the sharp design of the CX-7's windshield."
But security is not the sole reason to obtain when driving of an Ascender. U.S. News & World statement, in the general impression of the 2008 Isuzu Ascender, noted that the Ascender "delivers and an outstanding guarantee and smooth ride" and also pointed out the SUV's exceptional towing abilities. The 2WD model may tow, when precisely equipped, around 5,800 pounds.
Generally speaking, reviewers were impressed with the Ascender's V6 engine power and the way the SUV addresses. Kelley Blue Book mentioned that "the Ascender seems controlled and agile." Another consumer from Auto Media pointed out that the Ascender works "smoothly and quietly" and "accelerates strongly from a standstill."
According to an evaluation in the Orlando Sentinel, the Ascender beats the Ford Explorer when off-roading. Comparing the two, the reviewer praised, " the solid rear axle of the Ascender is a better arrangement, giving the Isuzu more speed in extreme off-road grip situations." U.S. Information also noted that the 2008 Ford Explorer's "heavy steering detracts from over all performance."
Intellichoice hasn't yet ranked the 2008 Isuzu Ascender, but did identify Isuzu's whole 2006 fall into line as most readily useful in their school for low prices.
