The Subaru Ascent has consistently delivered on its promise as a spacious, reliable, and capable SUV designed to tackle family adventures with ease. For 2025, Subaru takes this promise even further, introducing an impressive array of technology upgrades that significantly enhance safety, connectivity, comfort, and driving enjoyment. The latest Ascent is not just built to get you where you’re going; it’s meticulously designed to ensure you enjoy every moment of the journey.

State-of-the-Art Infotainment

At the heart of the 2025 Ascent’s technological upgrades is the advanced Subaru STARLINK® infotainment system, centred around a crisp, intuitive 11.6-inch vertical touchscreen. This new, larger interface allows drivers and passengers easy access to navigation, climate control, audio systems, and vehicle settings with just a few taps or voice commands. Integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto now comes standard wirelessly, making it simpler than ever to stay connected on the move without messy cables.

For audiophiles, the available Harman Kardon® premium audio system elevates the driving experience to new heights. Its carefully positioned speakers provide a rich, immersive sound environment, ideal for everything from daily commutes to long family road trips.

Advanced Safety and Driver Assistance

Subaru continues its legacy of prioritizing safety, enhancing the Ascent’s already robust suite of driver assistance technologies. Subaru’s EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology has been significantly upgraded for 2025, featuring enhanced adaptive cruise control, improved lane-centring capabilities, and upgraded collision mitigation systems that now more accurately detect pedestrians and cyclists in a wider range of scenarios.

An exciting addition to the Ascent’s safety toolkit is the new DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System, which actively monitors driver attention and provides gentle reminders if it detects signs of distraction or fatigue. Combined with features like Blind-Spot Detection, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Reverse Automatic Braking, these innovations ensure drivers have comprehensive support, reducing stress and enhancing confidence on every drive.

Enhanced Convenience and Comfort

Subaru understands the importance of convenience and comfort, especially in a family-focused SUV like the Ascent. The 2025 model features new technology designed explicitly with this in mind. Keyless Access with Push-Button Start is now standard across all trims, providing seamless entry and ignition without needing to remove keys from your pocket or purse.

Inside, the Ascent offers upgraded climate controls with advanced tri-zone automatic climate systems, ensuring passengers in every row enjoy personalized comfort settings. The second and third-row occupants benefit from additional USB-C charging ports, ensuring everyone’s devices stay powered throughout long journeys.

Power and Efficiency Through Technology

Under the hood, the Ascent’s 2.4-litre turbocharged SUBARU BOXER® engine remains robust and efficient, producing 260 horsepower and 277 lb.-ft. of torque. Subaru’s renowned Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, paired with the advanced X-MODE® technology, now includes enhanced off-road modes to optimize traction and stability on challenging terrains, including snow, dirt, and mud. These modes adjust the engine’s torque distribution, braking, and throttle response, providing exceptional control in various driving conditions.

Moreover, the Lineartronic® CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) has been finely tuned to deliver smoother, more responsive performance. Subaru has also introduced improvements in engine management software to boost fuel efficiency, further reducing running costs and environmental impact.

Connected Services for Everyday Life

The Subaru STARLINK® Connected Services package enhances daily usability with practical technology integrations. Remote engine start, climate control activation, and vehicle location services are accessible via your smartphone, making your day-to-day activities more convenient than ever. Additionally, enhanced safety features like Automatic Collision Notification and Roadside Assistance provide peace of mind wherever your journey takes you.
