CarGurus Analysis: 2025 Subaru Ascent

Summary
With 2,173 currently listed for sale and an average price of $37,716, 35.6% of 2025 Subaru Ascents for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
93.9% of 2025 Ascent models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2025 Subaru Ascent stands out as a family-focused three-row SUV that is distinctly Subaru in both design and hardware. It offers seven- or eight-passenger seating, standard Symmetrical 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, 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, with EyeSight driver assist standard and features such as adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and automatic emergency braking included.
The 2025 model year also benefits from the Ascent’s ongoing updates. Subaru’s first-generation Ascent received a mid-cycle refresh in 2023 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, a new available Cabin Connect intercom system, and a refreshed interior. For 2025, Subaru discontinued the base trim and added new Ascent Onyx Edition Touring and Ascent Bronze Edition trims. That combination of standard all-wheel drive, strong safety equipment, and flexible seating makes the Ascent appealing to buyers who want a capable, well-equipped family SUV, though its fuel economy is described as unimpressive and its third row is cramped.

Is the 2025 Subaru Ascent a good car?
The 2025 Subaru Ascent stands out as a family-focused three-row SUV with seven- or eight-passenger seating, standard all-wheel drive, and a long list of practical touches. It also brings standard EyeSight driver assist, three-zone automatic climate control, and a towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds, which makes it appealing if you want a capable, well-equipped family SUV.
The tradeoffs are clear in the overview: fuel economy is described as unimpressive, and the third row is cramped. Even so, the combination of standard all-wheel drive, flexible seating, and family-friendly equipment gives it broad appeal for buyers who prioritize utility over flash.
35.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you a decent chance of finding a competitive offer.
Is the 2025 Subaru Ascent reliable?
The 2025 Subaru Ascent is presented as a practical, safety-minded family SUV with standard all-wheel drive and a strong focus on everyday usability. Its appeal comes from familiar Subaru hardware, useful cabin features, and standard driver-assist equipment.
For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that a vehicle built around family hauling and all-weather capability can still be costly if prior maintenance was neglected, so condition and service history matter.
What should I look for when buying a used 2025 Subaru Ascent?
Accident-free inventory is excellent at 94% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
You should still run a history report on any listing you’re serious about, especially if the price looks unusually attractive. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on overall condition, signs of wear from family use, and whether the cabin and cargo areas show heavy use. If you’re comparing multiple examples, put the cleanest, best-documented vehicle at the top of your list rather than chasing the lowest sticker price.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2025 Subaru Ascent?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient and focused.
- Deal availability: 35.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 2,184 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 11.75% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 94.0% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $37,713, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2025 Subaru Ascent's resale value?
The current average of $37,713 sits slightly below last year's $42,734.
That price movement suggests the market has cooled, which can help you buy more confidently today. For a future seller, it also means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and how well the vehicle has been maintained. If you buy carefully now, you’re in a better position to protect value later.
Should I buy a 2025 Subaru Ascent or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2025 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2025 if:
- 35.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is excellent at 94% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 11.75% compared with last year.
Consider the 2024 if:
- At $33,019, the 2024 costs less than the current year's $37,713 average.
- It offers a straightforward, familiar Subaru formula.
The bottom line: If you want the newer model-year pricing context and a strong pool of clean listings, the 2025 is the better primary target. If your priority is saving money upfront, the 2024 is the smarter secondary path, especially if you find one in excellent condition.
