You can get the 2023 Subaru Ascent in eight trim levels: Base, Premium 8-Passenger, Premium 7-Passenger, Onyx Edition 7-Passenger, Limited 8-Passenger, Limited 7-Passenger, Onyx Edition Limited 7-Passenger, and Touring 7-Passenger.

Each 2023 Subaru Ascent has a 2.4-liter turbocharged engine paired with a Lineartronic continuously variable transmission. You get 260 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque for prompt acceleration and response on the highway, city streets, and while adventuring with the family. You can enjoy an estimated 26 mpg on the highway to go longer between filling up. The X-MODE optimizes engine output and transmission ratio to increase all-wheel drive engagement to provide optimal traction. (EPA-estimated; actual mileage will vary with driving conditions and your vehicle's condition.)

The highly capable 2023 Subaru Ascent lets you travel where you want, when you want. The Subaru Symmetrical all-wheel-drive system helps you navigate road conditions such as rain, snow, gravel, and more. When properly equipped, the Ascent can tow up to 5,000 pounds (capacity varies by trim; trailer brakes may be needed). Additional features include hill descent control, vehicle dynamics control, traction control system, and active torque vectoring.

The interior of the 2023 Subaru Ascent offers premium comfort and advanced technology to keep everyone happy. The main difference between trims is seating availability for seven or eight passengers.

This includes 19 cupholders, tri-zone automatic climate control, and a cargo-area underfloor storage tray. You get a standard 11.6-inch multimedia screen and a 4G LTE Wi-Fi capability system. As you move up in trim levels, you'll find features such as heated first and second-row seats, ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and leather upholstery.

You can drive confidently knowing that the 2023 Subaru Ascent has a wide range of advanced safety and driver assistance features. These features include EyeSight driver assist technology and a rear-vision camera with a washer.

If an accident occurs, you'll be protected by advanced airbags, whiplash protection front seats, and a high-strength frame.

The current Ascent keeps what families like about the 2023 model: three rows of seating for seven or eight, a turbocharged SUBARU BOXER engine, standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and up to 26 MPG highway (EPA-estimated; actual mileage will vary with driving conditions and your vehicle's condition.)
