CarGurus Analysis: 2023 Subaru Ascent

Summary
With 2,831 currently listed for sale and an average price of $30,225, 36.2% of 2023 Subaru Ascents for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2023 Subaru Ascent 4.4 / 5 stars.
89.8% of 2023 Ascent models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2023 Subaru Ascent stands out as a family-focused three-row SUV that feels distinctly Subaru rather than like a generic people mover. It offers seven- or eight-passenger seating, standard all-wheel drive, and a 260-horsepower 2.4-liter Boxer turbocharged engine with a towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds. Subaru also gave it a long list of practical touches, including rear doors that open to 75 degrees, a convex cabin-view mirror, available USB charging ports in the third row, 19 standard cup holders, and three-zone automatic climate control. Safety is another major part of its appeal, since EyeSight driver assist is standard and includes adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and automatic emergency braking.
For 2023, the Ascent received a mid-cycle refresh that brought a new front fascia, new LED headlights, C-shaped taillights, a larger 11.6-inch infotainment system, an available surround-view monitor in the Touring trim, an available Cabin Connect intercom system, and a refreshed interior. Those updates help modernize the cabin, while the broader lineup still offers features such as wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on the base trim, blind-spot detection and rear cross-traffic alert on the Premium trim, and leather-trimmed upholstery, reverse automatic braking, and DriverFocus on the Limited trim. Its strengths are clear: strong safety credentials, useful family features, and standard all-wheel drive. Its drawbacks are just as clear, with unimpressive fuel economy, an outdated interior design, and a cramped third row.

Reviewed a 2023 Subaru Ascent on Apr 24, 2024
Having recently test drove a brand new 2024 Ascent I will have to say it drives very nice. Power was decent, fuel mileage better than average and handles well. There are only two downsides of the vehicle. 1st the space is limited and it is very close knit for a family of more than four people. The 3rd row would work well for small children, but is pretty much useless for adults for long distances. When you review interior space comparisons, it is most closely resembles the space of a Toyota Highlander or Kia Sorrento. 2nd issue is the seats. I am only 5’9” tall and find that the second and third rows are narrow for an 8 seat vehicle and the driver and front passenger seats (although look comfortable) are hard, and thigh room front to back is overly short. The passenger seat in the Subaru crossovers also feels like it slants forward making you feel like you will slide out of the seat. I have driven the Subaru on a 11 hour drive and my hips were numb less than two hours into the trip and the front leg room side to side was two narrow for me to get into a comfortable position. Overall the vehicle drives nice, has a good sound system and the updated tech is intuitive and easy to use. I prefer replaceable buttons and switches for my HVAC controls and for my off road controls, but this is 2024 and I will assume the longevity of the new electronic controls will / should last as long as the drivetrain . I like Subarus and have had great luck in the past with them, but I hate their seats.

Is the 2023 Subaru Ascent a good car?
Generally — 4.4/5 is a strong owner rating for a family SUV like this. Owners consistently praise its safety features, comfort, and spaciousness for families, and many also like its driving performance and fuel economy. The Ascent’s three-row layout and standard all-wheel drive make it a practical fit if you want a roomy SUV for daily use, road trips, and changing weather. With 35.3% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a decent chance of finding a competitive offer.
Is the 2023 Subaru Ascent reliable?
Owners rate it 4.4/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.
The owner feedback points to dependable everyday use, with praise for safety, comfort, and family-friendly practicality. That kind of response usually matters most when you want a used SUV you can count on for regular commuting and long trips. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is making sure the vehicle’s condition matches its reputation, especially if it has seen heavy family use.
What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Subaru Ascent?
Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.1% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
You should still run a vehicle history report and confirm the listing’s accident and maintenance history before you commit. Put the inspection priority on the third row, seat comfort, and overall interior wear, since family use can show up there first. It also makes sense to focus on how the SUV presents in person, because condition differences can matter even when the market looks clean overall.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Subaru Ascent?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently but should move quickly on standout listings.
- Deal availability: 35.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 2,878 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 8.10% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 90.1% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $30,267.46, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2023 Subaru Ascent's resale value?
The current average of $30,257 sits slightly below last year's $32,923.
That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable entry point. For a future seller, that also means resale performance will depend heavily on condition, mileage, and how well the vehicle is equipped. If you keep the SUV clean, well maintained, and accident-free, you give yourself a better shot at holding value when it is time to sell.
Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.4/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2023 Subaru Ascent or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2023 if:
- 35.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.1% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 8.10% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.4/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2022 if:
- At $26,016, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $30,257 average.
- It adds an Onyx Edition with blacked-out trim and water-resistant upholstery.
Consider the 2024 if:
- At $33,246, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $30,257 average.
- It keeps the same familiar formula with standard all-wheel drive and strong safety appeal.
The bottom line: The 2023 is the best all-around pick if you want the refreshed model-year balance of value, inventory, and owner satisfaction. If your priority is spending less, the 2022 is the smarter secondary path; if you want the newer model-year option and do not mind paying more, the 2024 is the alternative to compare.
