Features
Direct-Injection 260-Horsepower Turbocharged SUBARU BOXER® Engine
The standard direct-injection turbocharged SUBARU BOXER engine combines the power of turbocharging and the efficiency of direct injection to deliver 260 horsepower. With this durable, time-tested engine and standard Lineartronic® CVT, the 2026 Ascent can reach over 500 miles of highway driving range, so almost any destination is within reach.
5,000-Pound Towing Capacity
The Ascent offers 5,000 pounds of towing capacity, the most of any Subaru vehicle ever. With an available accessory Class III trailer hitch, 277 pound-feet of torque, and a wide selection of roof rail and trailer hitch accessories, you can bring along all the gear you’ll need for all the places you’ll be able to go.
Adaptive Cruise Control
Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering 1 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. Standard Emergency Stop Assist can detect when a driver becomes unresponsive while the Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control is activated and then stop the SUV, activate hazard lights, and unlock the doors. Available MySubaru Connected Services can then call emergency services for help.
Spacious, Connected, and Comfortable 3-Row SUV Interior
The Ascent is the biggest Subaru SUV we’ve ever made, and that goes for the inside, too. With more passenger volume than the Toyota Highlander, Nissan Pathfinder, or Mazda CX-902at up to 153.2 cubic feet, it will be the roomy mobile headquarters for all your family adventures with its durable, high-quality materials like StarTex® upholstery, convenient technology like wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration3; and thoughtful comfort for every passenger. That spaciousness extends all the way to those riding in back — at 31.7 inches, the 2026 Ascent has more third-row leg room than the Toyota Highlander, Kia Telluride, or Hyundai Palisade4. Plus, the third row of the Ascent features standard USB-C and USB-A ports so everyone’s devices can stay charged, even on long road trips. And with standard heated front seats and an available heated steering wheel, you get extra comfort in chilly weather.
