The midsize 3-row SUV for family-sized adventures Announcing the 3-row, family-sized SUV as envisioned by Subaru—the 2021 Subaru Ascent. This exciting mid-size SUV showcases the performance, reliability, safety and value you’ve come to expect from Subaru, but in an entirely different kind of package. Built on the Subaru Global Platform (SGP), the Ascent offers seating for 7 or 8 passengers, a supremely comfortable ride and generous interior space—but also delivers levels of all-road/all-weather capability and handling prowess that are completely unexpected from the typical 3-row SUV. The confidence-inspiring characteristics emanate from the standard Subaru Symmetrical Full-Time AWD system, the standard X-MODE® system (for when the going gets really tough), ample ground clearance and fully independent suspension system. To keep your priceless cargo safe, the Ascent is also equipped with an array of standard safety features, including the award-winning Subaru EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology with Lane Centring Assist. The 2021 Subaru Ascent: comfort, convenience, adventure and peace-of-mind for the whole family.
