What's New for 2026? 

The new Ascent pares the Onyx Edition options down to the Onyx Edition Touring. The entry-level Premium trim now has synthetic, water-resistant upholstery for easy cleanup. The Touring trim elevates the interior with wood accents.

Performance and Efficiency

The 2026 Ascent features a robust 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 260 horsepower. This efficient powerplant utilizes direct injection technology and a twin-scroll intercooled turbocharger for responsive performance throughout the rev range. Paired with a Lineartronic CVT transmission, the Ascent delivers smooth acceleration and includes paddle shifters for enhanced driver control.

The Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system comes standard, providing superior traction in all weather conditions. Fuel economy remains competitive for the segment, with EPA estimates of 19 MPG city and up to 26 MPG highway. The X-MODE system with hill descent control enhances capability on challenging terrain, making the Ascent equally at home on Gresham's suburban streets or Oregon's mountain passes.

The cabin features a modern design with high-quality materials throughout, including available leather upholstery and genuine wood-tone accents. Second-row captain's chairs are available, providing easier access to the third row and enhanced passenger comfort.

Technology takes center stage with the standard 11.6-inch multimedia display featuring intuitive controls and voice activation. The system includes built-in navigation on select models, SiriusXM satellite radio with a complimentary trial subscription, and multiple USB ports for device charging. Families in Hillsboro will value the available rear-seat entertainment options and the MySubaru Companion system that offers remote engine start, vehicle location services, and emergency SOS capability.

Safety Features

Safety stands as a cornerstone of the 2026 Ascent's design philosophy. Every model includes Subaru EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, featuring adaptive cruise control, pre-collision braking, lane departure warning, and lane keep assist. The system uses dual cameras to monitor traffic and can provide steering assistance to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane.

Additional safety features include blind spot detection with lane change assist and rear cross-traffic alert, helping drivers navigate busy parking lots and highway merges with confidence. The reverse automatic braking system adds an extra layer of protection when backing up, while the standard back-up camera includes a washer to maintain clear visibility.
