The Subaru Ascent is the brand’s largest SUV, built around three rows of seating and the same Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive found across most of the Subaru lineup. At Santa Cruz Subaru in Capitola, we carry in-stock Ascent models priced below MSRP, serving families throughout Santa Cruz, Watsonville, Aptos, Scotts Valley, Marina, and the greater Monterey Bay area.
The Ascent seats seven or eight passengers depending on configuration, with second- and third-row access designed for real daily use, not just occasional overflow. It’s built on a platform that handles the practical demands of a busy household: cargo space behind the third row, fold-flat configurations when you need the room, and enough clearance and AWD grip to handle Highway 17, the coast route, or a muddy trailhead parking lot without thinking twice about it.
Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive comes standard on every Ascent trim, not as an add-on. Subaru’s EyeSight driver assistance suite is also standard across the lineup, covering pre-collision braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keep assist. For families who use a three-row SUV as a primary vehicle, those aren’t luxury features worth debating at higher trims. They come with the base price.
The Ascent lineup runs from the base trim through Sport, Premium, Limited, Touring, and Onyx Edition configurations. Higher trims add leather seating, expanded technology packages, additional second-row passenger comfort, and a larger infotainment display. The full trim comparison is available on the inventory grid below, where each listing shows configuration and in-stock pricing.
Our finance team works with buyers across a range of budgets on new Ascent purchases. If you have a vehicle to trade, we can appraise it before you start shopping.
