2027 Subaru Ascent Pricing Holds Steady For Families

June 15th, 2026 by

Subaru has announced pricing for the 2027 Ascent, giving three-row SUV shoppers a clearer look at one of the more family-focused entries in the segment. The 2027 Ascent starts at $40,795 before the $1,495 destination and delivery charge.

Including destination, Cars.com and Kelley Blue Book list the 2027 Ascent Premium at $42,290. The Limited is $49,480, Limited Bronze Edition is $50,590, Touring is $52,660 and Onyx Edition Touring is $53,490.

The pricing story is steady rather than dramatic. Subaru says the Premium starts at the same MSRP as before, while Cars.com notes that the Premium, Touring and Onyx Edition Touring trims are unchanged before destination, with the Limited and Limited Bronze Edition each up $100.

For families, the Ascent remains important because it is Subaru’s three-row SUV. Premium and Limited trims are available in seven- or eight-passenger configurations, while the higher trims use second-row captain’s chairs and seat seven.

The powertrain carries over with a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 260 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque. A continuously variable transmission and all-wheel drive are standard, and Subaru lists towing capability of up to 5,000 pounds.

The updates are mild but practical. Subaru adds USB-C charging near the third row, new available paint colors, a new rear gate lamp on Limited models and a 120-volt cargo-area outlet on Touring. Those are small details, but they matter to families using all three rows.

Standard features on the Premium include an 11.6-inch multimedia screen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a power rear gate, raised roof rails and charging access across the cabin.

Higher trims add features such as leather upholstery, a surround-view monitor, Cabin Connect, Harman Kardon audio, ventilated front seats and Nappa leather seating. The Onyx Edition Touring focuses on black exterior accents and a sportier interior look.

For shoppers comparing a new Ascent with a late-model used three-row SUV, the steady pricing is useful context. A lightly used vehicle may still save money, but the new model brings the latest equipment, warranty coverage and a known starting point for comparison.

The right trim depends on use. Families who need eight seats should focus on Premium or Limited. Families that value second-row pass-through access may prefer seven-passenger captain’s chairs in higher trims.

For used family-SUV shoppers, new Ascent pricing helps frame late-model three-row alternatives by mileage, condition and equipment.

Drivers planning to trade into a three-row SUV should compare current value, payoff and replacement budget before choosing a trim.

A vehicle value review can help families decide whether to sell, trade or keep the current vehicle.

Budget planning should include payment, insurance, tires, fuel and service through an auto financing review.

What Families Should Compare

Families should compare seating layout, third-row access, cargo space behind the third row, car-seat fit, towing needs, charging ports, warranty coverage and total monthly cost. A stable starting price helps, but the best trim is the one that fits daily use.

The takeaway is that the 2027 Ascent brings modest updates and clear pricing for family-SUV shoppers. More product and buying updates can be followed through the latest article feed.
