2026 Subaru
Ascent

Subaru has enhanced its largest SUV for 2026 with updated styling, improved amenities, and a streamlined trim lineup. While the Onyx Edition has been discontinued, the Onyx Edition Touring remains at the top. The Premium trim now incorporates some of the Onyx’s dark exterior elements along with StarTex upholstery and LED fog lights, while the Touring introduces refined wood-grain-patterned interior accents. A new Sapphire Blue Pearl paint color joins the palette as well. Spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped, the Ascent continues to deliver three-row versatility with seating for up to eight and the confidence of standard all-wheel drive, making it ready for road trips and everyday adventures alike.
