Why it stands out

The 2025 Subaru Ascent stands out as a family-focused three-row SUV that feels distinctly Subaru rather than generic. It offers seven- or eight-passenger seating, standard all-wheel drive, and a spacious interior, along with a long list of family-friendly features. Subaru also gave it a strong safety reputation, with the Ascent earning an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+ every year it has been in production.

For buyers who need utility, the Ascent brings useful capability to the table. It can provide up to 75.6 cubic feet of cargo space with all the seatbacks folded, and it has a highway fuel economy of up to 26 mpg with 500 miles of driving range. The model also has increased towing capacity, which helps make it a practical choice for hauling people, gear, or both.

The 2025 model year also reflects the Ascent’s steady evolution. Subaru’s first-generation Ascent received a mid-cycle refresh in 2023, and the 2025 model year discontinued the base trim while adding new Ascent Onyx Edition Touring and Ascent Bronze Edition trims. Even so, the Ascent is not without drawbacks: its fuel economy is described as unimpressive, its interior design as outdated, and its third row as cramped.
