2023 Subaru Ascent Trims
While the Subaru Ascent technically has eight different trim levels to choose from, we've consolidated it into six trim levels for you here. That's because the Premium and the Limited both have a seven-seat and an eight-seat configuration in a different trim level, but everything else is the same.
With that in mind, let's dive into some of the most prominent features you can find in each trim level available with the 2023 Subaru Ascent. Shop the 2023 Subaru Ascent Today!
Base Model
As a base model vehicle, you might think that the Subaru Ascent doesn't come with much. That's simply not the case. While it's a base model vehicle it comes with tons of features you'll love.
Of course, all-wheel drive is standard with a Subaru, but the 2023 Subaru Ascent Base comes with EyeSight technology, brake assist technology, high beam assist, front and second-row USB-A and SUB-C ports, and a rearview camera. With the Base trim level, you can only get the eight-seat configuration, which means no second-row captain seats.
Moreover, the Base trim level is the only trim level with a 2,000-pound towing capacity, every other trim level comes with a 5,000-pound towing capacity. It's not a huge deal if you don't plan on towing anything, but if you do then you should upgrade to at least a Premium trim level. Shop the 2023 Subaru Ascent Today!
Premium
One step up from the Base trim level is the Premium level. Subaru splits this trim level into two options, but the only difference between the two is whether you want a seven-seat configuration with second-row captain seats or an eight-seat configuration with bench seats in the second row.
The Premium comes with everything the base model has, but it has a few extra features we're sure you'll love. First, the exterior mirrors are the same color as the rest of the vehicle, and the mirrors include integrated turn signals.
It also replaces the manual driver seat adjustment controls with power ones, it has heated front seats if you go with the all-weather package, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, stain-resistant cloth upholstery throughout, 4G LTE Wi-Fi capabilities, and second-row climate controls.
Most crucially to a lot of drivers, it's the first trim level to have blind spot monitoring with a rear cross-traffic alert system. It's a great feature that can help protect you when you're trying to merge into a different lane. Shop the 2023 Subaru Ascent Today!
Onyx Edition
One step up from the Premium trim level is the Onyx Edition. It's the first trim level with a power moonroof and you go from 18" wheels to 20" ones. Other upgrades include LED fog lights, a heated steering wheel, and standard reverse automatic braking.
Finally, the Onyx Edition and the Onyx Edition trim levels are the only options with a few unique features like crystal black silica-finished folding side mirrors with integrated turn signals and StarTex water-repellent upholstery.
Moreover, you can only get an Onyx Edition trim level with a seven-seat configuration. Part of the appeal of the Onyx Edition trim levels is this unique exterior appearance. Shop the 2023 Subaru Ascent Today!
Limited
While the Limited trim level doesn't come with all of the physical appearances of the Onyx editions, there's no doubt that there are more standard luxury and technological features.
It all starts with the leather-trimmed upholstery throughout, a power-adjustable passenger seat to go with the power-adjustable driver seat, heated second-row seats, dual third-row USB-A charging ports, and it's the first trim level where you can upgrade to a Harman Kardon premium audio system if you want it.
You can also get either an eight-person or a seven-person seating capacity with the Limited trim level. But while a power sliding panoramic moonroof doesn't come standard with the Limited trim level, it is an optional upgrade. Finally, while the Onyx Edition trims come with 20" wheels, the Limited trim level is back to 18". Shop the 2023 Subaru Ascent Today!
Onyx Edition Limited
The Onyx Edition Limited is really a cross-between the Onyx Edition and the Premium trim levels. It gives you everything the Premium trim level offers, but it also gives you all the unique exterior and interior features of the Onyx Edition.
You get the 20" wheels, the unique side mirrors, and the moon roof comes standard. And just like with the standard Onyx Edition, you can only get the Onyx Edition Limited with a seven-seat configuration. Shop the 2023 Subaru Ascent Today!
Touring
The 2023 Ascent Touring is the top trim level out there, and as such it comes with all the premium and luxury features. You can only get the Touring in the seven-seat configuration, but other than that you can get just about whatever you want.
The Touring trim has 20" wheels, chrome door handles, power-folding side mirrors, ventilated front seats, and Nappa leather-trimmed upholstery all come standard.Â
Advanced technological features include an auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink, a 120-volt power outlet, a Navigation system, and a standard Harman Kardon audio system.
On the safety side of things the Touring trim comes with just about everything including a DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation System, standard reverse automatic braking, and a surround-view camera. It's everything you could want all packed into the already great Ascent. Shop the 2023 Subaru Ascent Today!
