They are the best hands down in bad weather. Our 2015 went in 17” of snow. I have a 2021 Crosstrek now and the wife has a 2022 Outback. Bring on the snow.
Dang, that is some impressive capability. I purchased a 2023 Crosstrek Limited two weeks ago to serve as a city runabout and snow chaser. Looks like I made a good choice. :)

That is awesome! Thank you for the video. I took my Subaru for its first big snow run. There was about 14 in on top of the mountain. Luckily, the plows hadn't made it through there all the way yet. It was an amazing experience. A slice through the snow like butter even on all season tires. Everyone wants to knock on the all season tires, but they performed extremely well. I can't even imagine what winter tires would do.

I've been driving a 2021 Subaru Forester with Bridgestone Blizzak tires. It does amazingly well Yesterday I was driving for miles on a frozen lake covered in about 6-8 inches of hard snow. I'll mention I'm an outdoor adventure guy living in South Dakota. I've been stuck in the Forester only once (2-foot deep drift 30 feet long). Since I'm almost always more than a mile or even five from help I carry with me: 2 snow shovels, 75 ft. tow line, four 40 inch traction boards, and four "cable" chains. You can't be stupid when it's 20 below.

what mode was traction control in? on or off? track-mode? do you think the new RS will fair just as well?

Nice video. Tires make a big difference in driving in bad weather and off road. Off course you need a good awd system. I am surprised to not see that many videos of people showing the strengths of the subaru ascent just like this video. Is it because it is not a good subaru suv? Or is it because people buy more outback, forester and crosstrek than subaru ascent? I wonder if Subaru ascent owners are less adventurous than the rest? Just wondering

Would the noise and riding comfort be that much terrible with studded tires? Thank you!

R5 EV will be the tires that will offer the best low noise and riding comfort. If you are facing some areas with significant snow and some unpredictable weather, I would suggest going with the Hk10 EV with Studs; this is the most aggressive tire you can buy for maximum traction in those nasty snowstorms.
