The 2025 Subaru Ascent has arrived with two new trim levels. Here's what customers will find at Subaru retailers this fall. The question is should you buy now or wait another year?

With the presidential election, overall, bets are off with what Subaru of America will do now. Subaru is now at a crossroads with the Ascent 3-Row family hauler. If you are a regular reader of our Torque News reports, you know that significant and exciting changes are on the horizon.

Subaru of America has yet to announce the 2026 Ascent changes, but three things could happen.

There could be an all-new Subaru Ascent EV.

Subaru may bid farewell to the current Ascent family hauler, but the future holds promise. A new electric 3-Row SUV is on the horizon for North American customers, expected to debut in late 2026. With its eco-friendly design, this new model is set to redefine Subaru's 3-Row SUV segment.

Automotive News says, "Subaru's 3-Row SUV would have been due for a redesign in the second half of 2024, but work on the makeover has been delayed to determine what emissions standards in the U.S. will be over the next four years. The gasoline-powered three-row may be replaced in the lineup by the three-row EV built in Kentucky by Toyota, or it may follow the Forester and Outback and remain for another generation, with an optional hybrid powertrain."

Here are Subaru's other options.

Subaru of America could drop the Ascent with the 2.4-liter turbocharged gas-powered Boxer engine, and its nameplate will become an all-new electric vehicle. If the current model is redesigned, it will get a new fuel-efficient hybrid trim level, following in the footsteps of the all-new Forester, Crosstrek, and Outback hybrids.
