The 2027 Subaru Ascent is soon to arrive, and it's already capturing local orienteers' attention for the new features it's bringing to outdoor life here in the eastern Volunteer State. Learn more about what you can expect from the updated mid-size SUV at Grayson Subaru.
Design and Technology Enhancements
There's plenty to look forward to in the 2027 Subaru Ascent:
- A newly available Deepwater Blue Pearl exterior hue option, sure to turn heads around Knox County, TN
- Second- and third-row USB-C charging ports with protective covers to make it easier to power mobile devices nearly anywhere in the cabin.
- A one-touch switch to prevent the interior lighting from turning on when the doors open and close, helping you avoid waking sleeping passengers during long trips out of Maryville
Family-Friendly Improvements
The 2027 Subaru Ascent provides inviting accommodations for every getaway, whether you're spending the weekend away from Sevierville or vacationing outside of Oak Ridge. They include:
- Comfortable seating for eight in standard StarTex or available Nappa leather-trimmed upholstery, or seven with optional second-row captain's chairs
- Standard 11.6-inch touch-screen Subaru Multimedia Plus infotainment with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to keep everyone in touch
- Ample room for cargo atop raised roof rails or in the capacious trunk, accessible via a convenient power liftgate
