With up to 153.2 cubic feet of passenger volume, the 2027 Subaru Ascent offers a spacious cabin with three rows of seating. Families can choose an eight-passenger configuration with a second-row bench or a seven-passenger layout with second-row captain's chairs. The captain's chairs provide individual seating and easier access to the third row, while the bench configuration accommodates an additional passenger. The Ascent also provides useful legroom and headroom across all three rows, making it practical for carpools, family vacations, and everyday errands. Front-row occupants have room to stretch out, while second-row passengers benefit from a comfortable seating area. The third row provides additional space for older children and other passengers, helping everyone travel together without needing a larger vehicle.

Beyond passenger comfort, the 2027 Subaru Ascent provides flexible cargo capacity for groceries, sports equipment, luggage, and larger household items. With all three rows in use, the cargo area offers approximately 17.8 cubic feet of space behind the third row. Folding the third-row seats expands the available room, and folding both rear rows creates a larger area for bulky cargo.
The split-folding rear seats make it easier to balance passenger seating with storage needs. You can keep part of a row available for passengers while folding another section to accommodate longer items. Underfloor storage adds another convenient place to organize smaller belongings, helping keep the main cargo area tidy.
