Subaru has released full pricing and feature details for the 2026 Ascent, its largest and most family-focused SUV. As the brand’s only three-row SUV, the Ascent targets buyers who need space, towing capability, and year-round traction. For 2026, Subaru simplifies the trim lineup, adds upgraded tech, and updates interior materials across the board.
A new Sapphire Blue Pearl paint color replaces Cosmic Blue. Prices start at $40,795 and top out just under $52,000 before destination fees. Every model includes standard all-wheel drive, key safety features, and improved infotainment.
The 2026 Ascent is built in Lafayette, Indiana, alongside the Crosstrek and Forester. Its standard turbocharged engine, flexible 7- or 8-passenger configurations, and high safety ratings keep it competitive in the midsize SUV market. The model arrives at U.S. retailers this fall.
