Whether you're commuting around town or heading out for a weekend getaway, the Ascent delivers a comfortable ride, solid performance, and top-tier safety. To help you get a quick overview of what it offers, here are five key numbers that highlight what makes this SUV a standout choice.
1- $49,018 – Starting Price Including Freight and Fees
Starting at $49,018 (before tax, including freight and fees), the 2025 Ascent is competitively priced among well-equipped midsize family SUVs. That base price already includes Subaru’s renowned Symmetrical Full-Time All-Wheel Drive, a suite of advanced safety features, and a roomy interior with seating for seven or eight, depending on your preferred configuration. It’s a smart investment for Ontario drivers looking for a dependable, family-friendly vehicle built to handle all kinds of weather.
2- 260 Horsepower – Power for Every Drive
The Ascent is powered by a 2.4L turbocharged SUBARU BOXER engine with direct injection, generating 260 hp at 5,600 rpm and 277 lb-ft of torque between 2,000 and 4,800 rpm. Paired with a high-torque Lineartronic CVT, this powertrain delivers smooth acceleration and reliable performance—whether you're carpooling, heading to the cottage, or towing gear. Fuel economy is also balanced, with a combined consumption rating of 12.3 L/100 km in the city and 9.4 L/100 km on the highway.
3- 8 Seats – Built with Families in Mind
The 2025 Ascent can seat up to eight passengers, or seven with available second-row captain’s chairs. The cabin is designed with comfort and practicality in mind, featuring standard heated front seats, air vents for all three rows, tri-zone climate control, and multiple storage compartments. With a choice of cloth, leather, Nappa leather, or all-weather upholstery, you can customize the interior to suit your lifestyle—whether it’s school drop-offs or road trips across Ontario.
4- 2,140 Litres – Versatile Cargo Capacity
When the rear seats are folded flat, the Ascent offers up to 2,140 litres of cargo space—perfect for large suitcases, sports equipment, or camping gear. The wide, square tailgate opening makes loading easy, and the 60/40 split-folding seats let you make the most of the space. Standard roof rails add even more flexibility, allowing you to mount roof boxes, bike racks, or other accessories. Plus, the standard power liftgate makes packing up faster and easier.
5- 220 mm – Clearance That Can Handle More
With 220 mm of ground clearance, the 2025 Ascent is ready for more than just paved roads. Subaru’s full-time Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, combined with X-MODE (single or dual-mode depending on trim) and Hill Descent Control, gives you confidence in rough conditions—like snow, gravel, mud, or uneven terrain. It’s built to get you where you need to go, whether that’s a snowy driveway in winter or a remote trail in cottage country.
The 2025 Subaru Ascent is designed for Ontario families who need a midsize SUV that’s practical, powerful, and prepared for all seasons.
