The award-winning Subaru Ascent made its debut in 2017 and was based on the striking VIZIV-7 concept that appeared at the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show. Since then, the mid-size crossover has been lauded for its spaciousness, as it is the largest Subaru model, as well as its impeccable safety features. For 2022, Subaru has announced that pricing will remain unchanged, but there will be a new edition available in the lineup.
