Why it stands out

The 2023 Subaru Ascent stands out as a distinctly Subaru take on the midsize three-row SUV, with clear Outback styling cues and the distinction of being the largest Subaru ever built. It was designed with families in mind, offering seven- or eight-passenger seating through bench or captain’s chair options for the second row, plus standard all-wheel drive and a strong emphasis on safety. Subaru’s EyeSight advanced driver assist and safety system was standard, and the Ascent had already built a reputation for earning top safety recognition every year it had been in production.

For 2023, the Ascent received a mid-cycle refresh that gave it a new front fascia, new LED headlights, C-shaped taillights, a larger 11.6-inch infotainment system with an available surround-view monitor, a newly available Cabin Connect intercom system, and a refreshed interior. That update helped modernise a cabin that had been criticised for feeling outdated, while the model’s family-friendly touches remained a major part of its appeal, including rear doors that opened to 75 degrees, 19 standard cup holders, three-zone automatic climate control, and available USB charging ports in the third row. It also offered up to 2,140 litres of cargo space with all the seatbacks folded, making it flexible for both passengers and gear.

There are still trade-offs. The Ascent’s fuel economy is not especially impressive, and the third row is cramped, which can be a drawback for buyers who need adult-friendly space all the way back. Even so, the 2023 Subaru Ascent remains appealing for shoppers who want a practical, safety-focused family SUV with standard all-wheel drive, useful cargo capacity, and a long list of everyday conveniences.
