However, class rivals such as the Hyundai Palisade, Kia Telluride, and Volkswagen Atlas offer more passenger and cargo room. The Ascent is a likable three-row family SUV that feels distinctly like a Subaru (so if you’re stepping up from an Outback, it won’t seem foreign to you).
You can check out our First Spin report and review of a top-line Touring model for more information. The Ascent debuted as a 2019 model and has seen only minor trim and equipment-level changes since then. Our test vehicle was finished in attractive (and appropriately outdoorsy) Autumn Green Metallic paint and equipped with the Onyx Edition’s one available option package-a $2200 group that consists of a cargo-area cover panoramic power sunroof and an upgraded STARLINK multimedia system that comes with voice-activated navigation, a high-resolution 8-inch touchscreen, and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone connectivity. Subaru’s standard suite of EyeSight driver-assistance features is supplemented by the addition of standard Blind Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert, as well as a reverse automatic braking system. Key standard comfort and convenience features of the Onyx Edition include an 8-way power driver’s seat, keyless access with push-button starting, power rear liftgate, and a heated steering wheel (in addition to the heated front seats that come standard on Premium and above models). The interior is outfitted with Subaru’s StarTex water-repellant upholstery (some of our editors have complained that the StarTex material doesn’t “breathe” very well and can get uncomfortably warm on hot days), along with black/simulated carbon-fiber trim elements and carpeted floor mats with the Onyx logo.
The specific exterior trim touches of the Onyx Edition consist of a black finish on the grille, exterior badges and trim, headlight bezels, and 20-inch aluminum alloy wheels the exterior rearview mirrors and roof spoiler get a “black silica” finish.
And like its Outback sibling, the Ascent Onyx Edition slots right into the middle of its respective model lineup, between the Ascent’s Premium and Limited trim levels. The Onyx Edition name and concept are borrowed from the roster of Subaru’s popular Outback SUV-flavored midsize wagon. The Ascent midsize SUV-the biggest vehicle in Subaru’s lineup-adds a specially trimmed Onyx Edition model that gets exclusive black-finish exterior trim elements and unique interior-trim features.
