The biggest Subaru SUV ever.

The family-sized 2022 Ascent gives you more of everything you need from an SUV: three rows of flexible seating for seven or eight passengers, standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity. With standard EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, you even have an extra set of eyes on the road for every trip.

The standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system in the 2022 Ascent 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 27 MPG** and over 500 miles of highway driving range, the 2022 Ascent delivers competitive fuel efficiency, and with the proven engineering of Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive — which has demonstrated its durability and low maintenance over three decades of owner-tested Subaru vehicles — you can be confident your Ascent will be with you for all the miles ahead.

Spacious, Comfortable Interior

The Ascent is the biggest Subaru SUV we’ve ever made, and that goes for the inside, too. With up to 153.5 cubic feet of passenger volume, it will be the roomy mobile headquarters for all your family adventures with its durable, high-quality materials, convenient technology, and thoughtful comfort for every passenger.

With a choice of either 7- or 8-passenger seating, your Ascent can be custom-fit for your family. In 7-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 ample cargo space plus underfloor storage — more than enough space for every passenger and all their gear.

Bring along up to 8 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.

Make a big statement.

The 2022 Ascent goes big on everything, including style. The exterior is composed around eye-catching appointments combined with Subaru practicality – where details such as LED headlights, raised roof rails and large, sweeping windows offer driving enhancements like excellent visibility and flexible capability as well as an element of sophistication.

The all-new 2022 Ascent Onyx Edition gives the family SUV a dark, commanding edge. Black finish trim, accents, and badging extend from the glossy exterior – including its exclusive front grille and Crystal Black Silica finished side mirrors and rear roof spoiler – to the comfortable cabin inside, which features durable StarTex upholstery and unique accents throughout.

Standard 20-inch alloy wheels feature an overall gloss-black finish for a final touch that’s both powerful and refined.

The Ascent Onyx Edition interior immerses you in sophisticated comfort, featuring high-quality materials with gloss-black trim and textured accents, including on the steering wheel insert and shift lever. There’s a standard heated steering wheel for extra comfort on cold drives, standard Power Rear Gate, and carpeted floor mats with the Ascent Onyx Edition logo.

The comfortable and hard-wearing gray StarTex upholstery is trimmed with silver contrast stitching for an inviting, composed cabin that also stands up to the elements.

The 2022 Ascent features standard EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, which acts like an extra set of eyes on the road and, if need be, an extra foot on the brake when you drive. EyeSight includes a number of advanced active safety systems to protect you and your family on every drive. In fact, EyeSight has been found to reduce rear-end crashes with injuries by up to 85%.

Automatic Pre-Collision Braking helps you avoid or reduce frontal impacts by alerting you and applying full braking force in emergency situations. Pre-Collision Throttle Management can reduce the power from the engine to help minimize the possible impact force and frontal impact damage. An IIHS study found that Subaru EyeSight Driver Assist Technology reduces the rate of pedestrian-related injuries by up to 35%.

Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering adds extra convenience and safety on every drive. Just choose the distance you want to keep from the car in front of you, and it can take some of the stress out of everyday driving by helping with steering, braking, and throttle control while maintaining a safe distance ahead.
