Subaru Ascent Interior Dimensions

The Subaru Ascent is a three-row SUV that offers plenty of space for all passengers to stretch out on the drive. Here are the complete interior dimensions available for this model:

• Headroom (Front/Second/Third Row): 40.4-41.2/38.7-40/36.2 inches
• Legroom (Front/Second/Third Row): 42.2/38.6/31.7 inches
• Shoulder Room (Front/Second/Third Row): 61.1/60.3/57 inches

Cargo Volume

Whether you're moving or picking up new furniture, the new Subaru Ascent for sale is ready to help. It offers ample room behind the rear row, though specific values vary by configuration. However, if you need even more space for essentials, this three-row SUV has you covered with even more expansive room when you fold the second and third rows.

Behind the second row, you'll have 43.5 cubic feet of cargo volume on the Premium 8-Passenger or Premium 7-Passenger trims. All upper-tier trims have 42.1 cubic feet of cargo space. Fold the second and third rows flat to unlock 75.6 cubic feet of cargo space on the first two trims – or up to 72.8 cubic feet on higher models.

Seating Capacity

The seating capacity of the Subaru Ascent interior probably won't surprise you, especially when you look at the trim level names (which indicate each model's seating capacity). Here's the total seating capacity based on the trim level chosen:

• Premium 8-Passenger: Eight
• Premium 7-Passenger: Seven
• Limited 8-Passenger: Eight
• Limited 7-Passenger: Seven
• Limited Bronze Edition 7-Passenger: Seven
• Touring 7-Passenger: Seven
• Onyx Edition Touring 7-Passenger: Seven

For context, eight-seat models use two three-seat benches for the second and third rows. Meanwhile, seven-seater configurations opt for second-row captain's chairs.

Subaru Ascent Interior Colors & Upholstery

The Subaru Ascent comes standard with a Black interior and StarTex upholstery. However, select trims offer leather and Nappa leather upholstery. Both are excellent choices, though StarTex stands out as a durable, leather alternative that is easy to wipe clean with an upholstery cleanser and a microfiber cloth.

Leather and Nappa leather have a luxurious feel that can be perfect for drivers seeking an upscale feel.

Additional Subaru Ascent interior colors include Slate Black, Warm Ivory, and Java Brown.

Subaru Ascent Interior Technology

The Subaru Ascent interior won't disappoint when it comes to technology. Every model comes with a standard 11.6-inch touchscreen display, though higher-tier trim levels come with integrated Navigation – a feature that makes it easier to set your destination.

Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity come standard with the multimedia system, though the speaker system depends on trim level – a six-speaker system is standard, and a 14-speaker Harman Kardon® audio system is available. Additionally, every iteration gets standard 4G LTE Wi-Fi capability.

Subaru Ascent Interior Comfort Features

Every Subaru Ascent interior is comfortable and handles all seasons with ease, thanks to a standard three-zone climate control system and second-row climate controls.

Additionally, heated front seats and a heated steering wheel are standard. However, second-row heating and front-row ventilation are available on higher-tier trims. Power adjustment for the driver's seat is also standard, while the passenger seat is available.
