CAMDEN, N.J., Aug. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Subaru of America, Inc. today announced pricing on the 2025 Ascent, the award-winning 3-row SUV, offering a spacious interior with flexible seating options and an impressive list of standard safety, driver assist, and in-vehicle technologies. The Ascent adds two new trim levels for 2025: Bronze Edition and Onyx Edition Touring.

The 2025 Ascent will be available in Premium, Onyx Edition, Limited, Bronze Edition, Touring, and Onyx Edition Touring when it arrives in Subaru retailers this fall. For 2025, the Base trim has been eliminated, and the Ascent Premium, now with a standard “Convenience Package,” has been repositioned as the entry trim level. With the elimination of the Base Trim Level and the addition of standard features to Premium Trim, the year-over-year price increase for comparable content is just $340. Making its debut this year is the Ascent Bronze Edition, which features exclusive exterior and interior ascents and 20-inch alloy wheels in a bronze color finish. On the inside, the seats are wrapped in Subaru StarTex® water-repellant material for durability and easy cleanup.

The 2025 Ascent adds Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, as well as Reverse Automatic Braking to its suite of standard active safety features. With the addition of Blind-Spot Detection, Automatic Emergency Steering is also standard for 2025. The safety feature uses Blind-Spot Detection in conjunction with the EyeSight Pre-Collision Braking to help the vehicle avoid a collision when traveling at speeds slower than 50 mph.

For the first time on Ascent, Emergency Stop Assist is standard. The safety feature can detect an unresponsive driver when the Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control is active. The system will stop the SUV, activate hazard lights, and unlock the doors. SUBARU STARLINK Connected Services will then call emergency services for help.

For enhanced all-around situational awareness while parking, an available Surround View Monitor offers a 360-degree overhead view of the vehicle. The system uses images from four vehicle cameras and combines them to create a single image for a bird’s-eye view of the area around the entire vehicle. 

Cabin Connect is available on trim levels equipped with a Harman Kardon® QuantumLogic surround sound speaker system. The convenience feature amplifies the driver’s voice to the third-row occupants for improved communication inside the vehicle.

The Onyx Edition(s), Limited, Bronze Edition, and Touring come standard with dual-function X-MODE® featuring SNOW/DIRT and DEEP SNOW/MUD settings. The additional settings optimize all-wheel-drive performance for difficult weather or road conditions.

The Ascent continues to be one of Subaru’s most awarded vehicles since its debut in 2019. The 3-row SUV received the 2024 Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) TOP SAFETY PICK+ award. This marks the seventh consecutive year Ascent has earned an IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK (2018-2024).

The 2024 Subaru Ascent earned top marks with a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The 3-row SUV is also top-ranked in its class, according to MotorTrend
