What Subaru Ascent do most buyers choose?

The Subaru Ascent years with the most listings are 2023, 2024, and 2022.

Higher-volume model years usually give you more choice in trims, colours, and price points, which makes it easier to compare listings side by side. They also tend to be the years shoppers cross-shop most often because supply is broader and deal opportunities are easier to find.
