Three-row SUV shoppers face a common challenge: determining which features justify stepping up to higher trims versus staying with more accessible options. The 2026 Subaru Ascent lineup spans four distinct trim levels, each building upon the last with technology, comfort, and convenience upgrades. Herb Gordon Subaru helps Silver Spring families decode the differences to match your budget with your actual needs.
Base Establishes Everyday Confidence
The 2026 Subaru Ascent Base trim provides a strong foundation with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive®, EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, and a 2.4-liter turbocharged SUBARU BOXER® engine that produces 260 horsepower and tows up to 5,000 pounds. Inside, you’ll find an intuitive 11.6-inch touchscreen, tri-zone automatic climate control, and standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity. The Base model is ideal for families seeking Subaru reliability, safety, and power without unnecessary extras.
Premium Delivers Core Family Value
Step up to the 2026 Subaru Ascent Premium for added practicality. You’ll get features like StarTex® water-repellent upholstery, a power liftgate, and an eight-way power driver’s seat for everyday comfort. Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist™ and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert™ enhance confidence on busy Maryland roads. The Premium trim strikes a smart balance of safety, utility, and affordability.
Limited Adds Comfort and Convenience
The 2026 Subaru Ascent Limited introduces more luxury for family adventures. Heated front and second-row seats, leather-trimmed upholstery, and a heated steering wheel bring upscale comfort. Its power-folding mirrors and 360-degree camera simplify parking and maneuvering. Limited caters to drivers who want premium touches without stepping into top-tier territory.
Touring Introduces Premium Technology
At the top of the lineup, the 2026 Subaru Ascent Touring elevates refinement and tech. Ventilated front seats, heated second-row captain’s chairs, and a panoramic moonroof make every drive relaxing. The integrated navigation system and Harman Kardon® premium audio deliver entertainment and ease, while DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation adds an extra safety layer for long road trips. Touring is perfect for families who want a truly luxurious SUV experience.
