Rugged athleticism to the core

From its redesigned muscular profile to its powerful stance, the refreshed 2023 Subaru Ascent is the mid-size SUV that’s designed to perform in uncommon conditions and on all sorts of adventures. While all Subaru vehicles share a commonality in their design DNA, the Ascent makes an even more rugged statement through sheer size and stature. From the bold front fascia to the back, the Subaru Ascent is designed to make a lasting impression.

Raised Profile Roof Rails

Engineered to bring increased versatility to an unquestionably capable SUV, these roof rails are tough enough to support all types of cargo carriers. Featuring rugged construction and a streamlined design, they’re extra-durable to withstand heavy-duty loads and aerodynamic to help ensure stellar fuel efficiency.

Power Liftgate

This available power liftgate makes packing for a serious adventure quicker and easier than ever—just hit the quick-release button on the key fob and you’re good to go. The liftgate itself features a lock switch, auto-closure and an auto-reverse function that’s triggered the moment contact is made with anyone or anything. You can also set the opening height of the liftgate through the stop-position memory function.

Large Panoramic Sunroof

This available panoramic sunroof features a double-panel design that allows in generous amount of natural light. The front glass panel slides above the roof to allow in fresh air. The fixed back panel features a retractable roller sun blind that provides shade for second-row passengers while still preserving a roomy, spacious feeling for all. Despite the sheer size and functionality of this large sunroof, the Ascent maintains one of the most generous headroom measurements in the segment.

Substantial Ground Clearance

With a lofty 220 mm of ground clearance, the Ascent possesses authentic go-anywhere capability. Despite the ability to clear obstacles both large and small, this SUV also features excellent ride quality and comfort with the help of the long-travel suspension system. These characteristics combine to create a dual nature that’s perfectly suited to all types of road surfaces.

Auto On/Off Headlights

These headlights automatically turn on under low-light conditions, such as at sunset or when driving through a tunnel, and shut off when the vehicle is turned off. The headlights also have a built-in welcome feature, switching on automatically when the doors are unlocked and signalling the interior lights to do the same. All trim levels are equipped with LED steering responsive headlights that cast a brighter, whiter beam and angle in the direction of the turn while cornering.
