Subaru’s EyeSight driver-assist technology is also standard, and on the Ascent, which includes the automaker’s wide-angle mono camera. Further technologically, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included.
Subaru offers the Ascent in six trim levels for 2023, including a new Onyx Edition that sits between the Premium and Limited trims. Starting at $42,520, it offers two seats in the center row instead of three for seven passengers.
