Experience the 2026 Subaru Ascent – The Ultimate Family SUV 

Versatility and Comfort for Every Adventure 

The 2026 Subaru Ascent is the largest and most versatile Subaru ever produced, offering seating for up to eight passengers. Families can choose between second-row captain’s chairs or a bench seat, allowing the cabin to adapt to any combination of passengers and cargo. With up to 153.2 cubic feet of passenger space and 75.6 cubic feet of cargo capacity when the seats are folded, there’s ample room for long trips or busy daily drives. 

Inside, tri-zone automatic climate control, heated front and second-row seats, and an available panoramic moonroof bring premium comfort to every mile. Cabin Connect voice projection and up to eight USB ports make it easy to stay connected and charged on the go, while high-quality materials and noise-reducing glass create a calm, refined atmosphere. 

Performance That Conquers Every Road 

The 2026 Ascent is powered by a 2.4L Turbocharged DOHC engine delivering 260 horsepower and 277 lbs.-ft. of torque, paired with a Lineartronic® CVT for smooth and efficient acceleration. Standard Subaru Symmetrical AWD provides balanced traction in all conditions, while 8.7 inches of ground clearance and dual-function X-MODE® with Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud settings ensure confident control on icy or uneven roads. 

For families who love adventure, the Ascent offers up to 5,000 lbs. of towing capacity, allowing you to bring along trailers, boats, or recreational gear with ease. 

Advanced Safety for Peace of Mind 

Safety is built into every aspect of the 2026 Subaru Ascent. Subaru’s latest EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology includes Pre-Collision Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering, and Automatic Emergency Steering. Additional features such as Blind-Spot Detection, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Reverse Automatic Braking add layers of protection in busy or slippery conditions. 

The DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System uses cameras and sensors to detect signs of fatigue or inattention and gently alerts you to stay focused. Combined with the reinforced Subaru Global Platform, these systems work together to deliver outstanding safety and confidence year-round. 

Technology, Entertainment, and Connectivity 

The 2026 Ascent keeps everyone entertained and connected with the advanced SUBARU STARLINK® Multimedia System. A large 11.6-inch touchscreen provides intuitive access to navigation, audio, and vehicle settings. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ come standard, letting you stream music or use your favorite apps seamlessly. 

For tech-savvy families, built-in Wi-Fi capability keeps devices online during long drives, while an available Harman Kardon® 14-speaker premium audio system delivers rich, immersive sound throughout the cabin. The Ascent transforms family travel into a high-tech, high-comfort experience.
