The 2025 Subaru Ascent Delivers Unmatched Safety and Space for Family Travel
February 28 2025,
The search for the perfect family SUV ends with the 2025 Subaru Ascent. This midsize three-row SUV transforms daily drives and weekend getaways with exceptional versatility and thoughtful design. From school carpools to mountain adventures, the Ascent stands ready to accommodate your family's evolving needs with seating for up to eight passengers and advanced safety technology that puts your mind at ease.
Your family deserves more than just transportation—they deserve a vehicle that enhances your lifestyle while protecting what matters most. The 2025 Ascent delivers on this promise with standard Symmetrical Full-Time AWD, impressive ground clearance, and the next generation EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, creating an unmatched driving experience in all weather conditions.
Superior Safety for Precious Cargo
The 2025 Ascent makes no compromises when it comes to protecting your family. Built on the ultra-rigid Subaru Global Platform, this SUV distributes crash energy away from the passenger cabin through its advanced ring-shaped reinforcement frame.
Standard across all trim levels, the next-generation EyeSight Driver Assist Technology now includes Automatic Emergency Steering and a wide-angle mono camera that monitors road activity more effectively. This award-winning system has earned the highest possible front-crash prevention ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
For additional peace of mind, the Ascent includes Reverse Automatic Braking and the Subaru Rear/Side Vehicle Detection System on all models. The Limited, Sport, and Premier trims offer DriverFocus—an innovative system that monitors driver fatigue and distraction, functioning like an automated co-driver.
Comfort and Convenience for Everyone
Family travel becomes more enjoyable with the Ascent's thoughtfully designed interior. The airy, quiet cabin offers genuine comfort for all passengers with available captain's chairs or bench seating in the second row. Three-zone climate control with separate settings for front, second, and third rows ensures everyone travels at their preferred temperature.
The standard 11.6-inch tablet-style touchscreen infotainment system keeps you connected with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality. Premium trims elevate the experience with GPS navigation featuring what3words technology and a Harman Kardon audio system with 14 speakers.
For cold winter mornings, three-stage heated front seats come standard on all trims, while the Premier model adds ventilated front seats for summer comfort. Second-row passengers enjoy heated seats on higher trim levels, making seasonal drives more pleasant for everyone.
Versatility That Grows With Your Family
The Ascent transitions effortlessly from people-mover to cargo-hauler with its ultra-versatile design. With 60/40-split flat-folding seats in both the second and third rows, you can configure the interior to accommodate items of various sizes. The square-shaped cargo opening simplifies loading and unloading, while standard roof rails provide additional carrying capacity for adventure gear.
Family road trips benefit from thoughtful storage solutions throughout the cabin. USB-A and USB-C ports keep devices charged, while SUBARU STARLINK Connected Services—standard on all trims with a three-year free subscription—adds remote features like tailgate unlock and climate control.
All-Road Performance for Any Adventure
Under the hood, the turbocharged 2.4L SUBARU BOXER engine delivers impressive power with 260 hp and 277 lb-ft of torque, providing the performance of a 6-cylinder with the efficiency of a 4-cylinder. The high-torque Lineartronic CVT optimizes acceleration, fuel efficiency, and towing capacity.
Weekend adventures become more accessible with 220 mm of ground clearance and dual versions of X-MODE with Hill Descent Control on higher trims. The long-travel independent suspension system creates a smooth ride on paved roads while maintaining exceptional capability on rough terrain.
For 2025, the new Ascent Sport model adds distinctive style with bronze and black accents, 20-inch alloy wheels with painted bronze finish, and durable all-weather seating surfaces—perfect for active families who transition from soccer fields to mountain trails.
