2027 Subaru Ascent

The 2027 Ascent lineup includes Premium, Limited, Limited Bronze Edition, Touring, and Onyx Edition Touring. Premium features 18-inch alloy wheels with a black finish. Limited and Touring use 20-inch alloy wheels finished in dark gray with machined surfaces. Limited Bronze Edition introduces bronze-finish 20-inch wheels for a distinctive appearance. Onyx Edition Touring combines black-finish 20-inch wheels with Crystal Black Silica exterior accents. LED Steering Responsive Headlights, LED fog lights, and raised roof rails come standard throughout the lineup. Every trim includes a power rear gate, while Limited and higher trims also feature a panoramic power moonroof.

Every 2027 Ascent uses a 2.4-liter turbocharged SUBARU BOXER four-cylinder engine. Output reaches 260 horsepower at 5,600 rpm. The engine produces 277 pound-feet of torque between 2,000 and 4,800 rpm, supplying pulling power across a broad operating range. Direct injection works with turbocharging to support the balance between power and efficiency. Horizontally opposed cylinders allow the engine to sit lower in the vehicle, helping support stability and responsive handling. A Lineartronic continuously variable transmission comes standard across the lineup. With the same engine in every trim, we can focus your comparison on passenger arrangements, comfort features, and exterior preferences.

Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive continually adjusts power distribution to help maintain traction as driving conditions change. Its balanced layout also supports controlled handling through corners. Ground clearance measures 8.7 inches, providing useful space beneath the vehicle when traveling over uneven surfaces. Premium includes X-MODE with Hill Descent Control for additional traction support and controlled downhill travel. Limited and higher trims receive dual-function X-MODE, with settings suited to snow, dirt, deep snow, and mud. Every trim supports a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. We can help you review towing equipment and vehicle loading requirements for the trailer you intend to bring along.

Inside the Ascent, passenger space reaches up to 153.2 cubic feet across three rows. Seven-passenger configurations feature second-row captain’s chairs, while eight-passenger versions use a second-row bench. Folding the second and third rows creates up to 75.6 cubic feet of cargo space for larger items. Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel come standard, adding comfort during colder months. The standard 11.6-inch touchscreen includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration for compatible smartphones. USB-A and USB-C ports are provided in every row, giving passengers convenient charging access. Limited and higher trims add built-in navigation, a 14-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, and Cabin Connect, which carries the driver’s voice through the rear speakers.

We help families understand the Ascent’s standard EyeSight Driver Assist Technology and its role in everyday driving. Automatic Pre-Collision Braking can apply braking force to help avoid or reduce the severity of a frontal collision. Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering assists with following distance, speed, and steering. Standard Emergency Stop Assist can stop the vehicle, activate hazard lights, and unlock the doors if the driver becomes unresponsive while Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control is active. Blind-Spot Detection, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Reverse Automatic Braking are also standard across the lineup. Limited and higher trims add DriverFocus distraction monitoring and a 360-degree Surround View Monitor for greater awareness when parking. These systems provide assistance while the driver remains responsible for monitoring traffic and controlling the vehicle.
