The 2027 Subaru Ascent delivers the versatility, dependable performance, and advanced technology that growing families need from a three-row SUV. With seating for up to eight passengers, standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, and a powerful turbocharged engine, the Ascent is designed to accommodate busy schedules and memorable adventures. At Byers Airport Subaru in Columbus, OH, we're excited to introduce this capable SUV to drivers seeking a combination of everyday practicality and premium comfort. Under the hood, the 2027 Subaru Ascent features a 2.4-liter turbocharged SUBARU BOXER® four-cylinder engine producing 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a Lineartronic® Continuously Variable Transmission, this powertrain delivers smooth acceleration and responsive handling. Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive provides additional confidence when navigating wet roads around Pickerington or snowy streets in Westerville, while 8.7 inches of ground clearance helps accommodate uneven surfaces. The Ascent's thoughtfully designed interior provides three rows of seating, flexible cargo configurations, and convenient amenities for passengers of all ages. Available second-row captain's chairs create a comfortable seven-passenger arrangement, while a second-row bench seat allows select models to accommodate eight occupants. Modern connectivity features, including an 11.6-inch touchscreen and wireless smartphone integration, help keep everyone connected throughout the journey.

The 2027 Subaru Ascent is designed to handle changing weather conditions with standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and 8.7 inches of ground clearance. Its all-wheel-drive system continuously distributes power to help maintain traction on wet, snowy, and uneven surfaces. The Ascent also features X-MODE®, which optimizes engine response, transmission behavior, and traction control for challenging conditions.

These technologies are especially beneficial during Central Ohio winters, when snow and freezing temperatures can create unpredictable driving conditions. Drivers commuting from Lancaster and New Albany to Columbus can appreciate the additional stability provided by Subaru's all-wheel-drive engineering. Appropriate tires, reduced speeds, and careful driving remain essential for safe winter travel.

Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration allow drivers to access compatible navigation applications, music, and messages without connecting their phones through a cable. Available built-in navigation provides additional route guidance, while MySubaru® Connected Services offers compatible remote vehicle functions and other connected features. Higher trims introduce additional technology, including the Harman Kardon® premium audio system and a 360-Degree Surround View Monitor.
