About the 2025 Subaru Ascent
Thinking about the 2025 Subaru Ascent? This is Subaru's big three-row player, and it’s built for real life, not just showroom poses. With 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque coming from that turbocharged engine, you should feel confident merging onto the highway, even when the Ascent is packed. It comes standard with Subaru’s renowned all-wheel drive, giving you peace of mind whether you're navigating icy neighborhood streets or just heading to the soccer fields. While its footprint is sizable—almost 16.5 feet long—it balances passenger space (seating up to 8 people across those trims) with handling regular hauling duties. Plus, with a combined fuel economy of 22 MPG, it’s a relatively sensible way to move a lot of people and gear.
Key Highlights
Turbocharged Pull
The standard 2.4L turbocharged engine provides 277 lb-ft of torque, which means smoother acceleration when you have all seven or eight seats occupied.
Consistent AWD
Every 2025 Subaru Ascent comes standard with all-wheel drive, making it predictable and capable in varied driving conditions right out of the box.
Ample First Row Space
Front passengers enjoy substantial room with 42.2 inches of legroom, ensuring long road trips are comfortable for the driver and co-pilot.
Eight Trim Levels
With 8 available trims ranging from the entry-level Premium up to the high-end Limited, you can really dial in features to match your $39,995 to $52,050 budget.
