2022 Subaru Ascent Overview Pricing Trim Levels New Onyx Edition

---

The 2022 Subaru Ascent is arriving at dealerships with the same base prices as the 2021 model. In addition, Subaru has added a new Onyx Edition trim level for the 2022 Ascent. Like Kia’s Nightfall and Lexus’ Black Line trim, Subaru’s Onyx Edition adds a bevy of black finish elements to deliver a more sinister vibe.
2022 Subaru Ascent: Engine & DrivetrainAll Subaru Ascents have a turbocharged 2.4-liter Boxer engine pumping out 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft. of torque. It would have been great if this same engine made it under the BRZ’s hood, but it motivates the heftier Ascent with vigor while still eking out a decent 23 mpg in the combined cycle.
The engine sends power to all four wheels via Subaru’s symmetrical all-wheel drivetrain (with hill descent control and X-Mode) and an eight-speed Lineartronic CVT gearbox. The Ascent has a max tow rating of 5,000 lbs.
Safety FeaturesEvery Subaru Ascent is standard with EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, which includes adaptive cruise control with lane centering, steering responsive LED headlights, high beam assist, automatic pre-collision braking, and lane-keeping assist, among many others.
