The 2025 Subaru Ascent: The Subaru you may not know

When we think of Subaru, we often imagine the rally performance of the WRX or the iconic Outback, a vehicle that spans generations. But Subaru also has another model that deserves your full attention: a three-row SUV that's spacious, safe and ready for adventure.

Unrivalled capacity for all your adventures

Thanks to its legendary symmetrical all-wheel drive system with constant grip, the Ascent grips the road in every situation, whether on ice, snow or gravel roads. Its 8.7” ground clearance enables it to tackle the toughest conditions effortlessly.

For even greater control, the X-MODE® system optimizes traction on difficult terrain. On some versions, the dual-function X-MODE allows you to choose between snow/soil and deep snow/mud modes, perfect for Quebec's snowy roads. With its 260 hp SUBARU BOXER® turbo engine and 277 lb-ft of torque, the Ascent can also tow up to 5,000 lb, ideal for family outings.

Generous space and unrivalled comfort

With its seven- or eight-seat configurations, the Ascent offers a spacious cabin where every passenger enjoys excellent comfort and visibility.

Need to carry bulky items? No problem. Second- and third-row seats fold 60/40, creating a versatile cargo area that's easy to access thanks to the extra-wide rear opening and standard roof bars.

Advanced technology to keep you connected

The Ascent 2025 features a high-resolution 11.6-inch touchscreen, compatible with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ wirelessly. The sound experience reaches another level thanks to the 14-speaker Harman Kardon® audio system available on selected models.

Thanks to the SUBARU STARLINK® Connected Services system, the Ascent also offers several safety and convenience features, such as remote start, climate control and automatic collision notification, with a free three-year subscription.

Unrivalled safety

Safety is at the heart of every Subaru, and the Ascent 2025 is no exception. As standard, it is equipped with Subaru EyeSight® technology, which includes:

  • Adaptive Cruise Control
  • Pre-collision braking
  • Lane Departure Warning
  • Automatic emergency steering

Additional technologies such as DriverFocus™ distraction mitigation and panoramic view camera are also available on selected versions for added peace of mind.

Comfort that goes further

The 2025 Subaru Ascent comes with heated front seats as standard, with heated second-row seats and a heated steering wheel on some versions. For those hot summer days, the ventilated front seats on the Premier model provide welcome coolness. Thanks to the three-zone climate control system, every passenger enjoys optimum comfort, whatever the outside temperature.

Why the Ascent deserves your attention

The 2025 Subaru Ascent may not be the first model that springs to mind when you think of Subaru, but it should be. It brings together everything that makes the brand great: exceptional all-wheel drive, state-of-the-art safety and unrivalled versatility in an SUV designed for real life.
