Subaru has officially revealed the 2026 Subaru Ascent pricing, and it looks like families will get more of everything, tech, space, and value. Whether you’re eyeing the Premium, Touring, or Bronze Edition, the Ascent will offer a price and setup to match your lifestyle.
2026 Subaru Ascent Pricing Will Start at $40,795
Kicking off at $40,795 MSRP, the Ascent Premium will sit at the base of the lineup. This year, it will come with black StarTex® upholstery, black exterior trim, and heated front seats. You’ll also see a bold new Sapphire Blue Pearl color, replacing Cosmic Blue Pearl.
Subaru will continue offering both 7- and 8-passenger configurations on most trims, making flexibility a priority. The Premium trim, priced at $42,245 with destination, will pack useful features like Keyless Access, Power Rear Gate, and climate control for all three rows.
The Ascent Limited Will Bring More Comfort for $47,885
If you’re looking for extra refinement, the 2026 Ascent Limited will offer it at $47,885 MSRP. It will add leather-trimmed upholstery, heated second-row seats, and tech like a 12-way power driver’s seat with memory.
This trim will also feature larger 20-inch alloy wheels, power-folding mirrors, and chrome exterior accents. Inside, it will upgrade the infotainment with a Harman Kardon® system and built-in navigation.
Bronze Edition Will Add Unique Style at $48,995
The Ascent Limited Bronze Edition will stand out with 20-inch bronze wheels, bronze exterior trim, and bronze-stitched StarTex® seats. For $48,995, this model will offer the same comfort and tech as the Limited, but with added style.
Built only as a 7-seater, it will include the same spacious interior but with a personality that pops both inside and out.
Touring Trims Will Offer Luxury-Level Features
The top-tier 2026 Ascent Touring will come in at $51,165. It will include ventilated front seats, a smart rearview mirror, and rain-sensing wipers. Inside, buyers will choose between Java Brown or Slate Black Nappa leather.
Subaru will also add woodgrain trim for 2026, giving the Touring model an upscale feel. Standard second-row captain’s chairs and advanced voice projection via Cabin Connect will round out the premium experience.
The Onyx Edition Touring Will Be the Boldest Look Yet
If bold design is your style, the Onyx Edition Touring will bring it for $51,995. It will combine all of the Touring trim’s tech and comfort, but with a moodier look. Black wheels, black trim, and unique green-stitch accents on the steering wheel will separate it from the pack.
It will only be available in a 7-seat configuration, and it will be one of the most visually distinctive SUVs Subaru has built.
Engine Specs Will Stay Strong for Every Trim
No matter which Ascent you choose, you’ll get the same powerful 2.4-liter turbocharged BOXER® engine. It will produce 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque.
A Lineartronic® CVT with 8-speed manual mode and paddle shifters will come standard, offering smooth yet responsive power. With Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and X-MODE®, every trim will handle snow, gravel, and more.
And yes, towing capacity will remain at a strong 5,000 pounds across the lineup.
Advanced Safety Will Come Standard
EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology will come on every 2026 Ascent. You’ll get Automatic Emergency Steering, Reverse Automatic Braking, and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert.
Optional features like DriverFocus® will appear on higher trims, while Blind-Spot Detection and Lane Change Assist will be included throughout the lineup.
Summary
Subaru will price the 2026 Ascent to deliver strong value at every level. From the feature-packed Premium to the luxurious Onyx Edition Touring, families will have no shortage of smart choices. With bold styling, robust safety, and room for up to eight, the Ascent will continue to meet families exactly where they live.
