The 2025 Subaru Ascent is here to give you even more, which is saying a lot since it’s the biggest Subaru we’ve ever made. Featuring three rows of flexible seating for up to eight passengers and the advanced protection of EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology
3-Row Family SUV Versatility and Capability
The standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system in the 2025 Ascent 3-row SUV is designed to optimize traction in rain, snow, on bad roads, or even when there’s no road at all. It constantly evaluates acceleration, braking, and cornering in real time to continuously deliver power to all four wheels. If a wheel slips, power is instantaneously transferred to the wheels that have the most grip.
With its exceptionally balanced layout, Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive delivers a solid connection with the road and an engaged, responsive drive. The entire system lies along the centerline of the vehicle, balancing weight distribution between the two sides to help provide optimal performance and control.
With gas mileage up to 26 MPG

The Ascent is the biggest Subaru SUV we’ve ever made, and that goes for the inside, too. With more passenger volume than the Toyota Highlander or Mazda CX-90
With a choice of either seven- or eight-passenger seating, your Ascent is the large SUV that’s a custom fit for your family. In seven-passenger models, comfortable captain’s chairs make up the second row. Whichever Ascent you choose, you’ll get roomy seats, extra-wide rear door openings, and up to 75.6 cubic feet of cargo space plus underfloor storage — more than enough room for every passenger and all their gear.
Bring along up to eight passengers with second-row bench seating. The second row isn’t just for carrying people — it features 60/40-split flat-folding seatbacks, so it’s easy to haul larger cargo.
Second-row captain’s chairs are available for extra comfort, easy access to the third row, and space for up to seven.
