Subaru Ascent Interior: Passenger Space & Dimensions

The 2021 Subaru Ascent features a spacious design that's perfect for you, your friends, and your family members. With three rows of seats, this SUV comes standard with seating for eight passengers. However, if you only need to seat seven riders, you can select the available second-row captain's chairs to give your middle-row passengers more elbow room.

No matter which seat configuration you choose, there's plenty of room for everyone in the 2021 Ascent:

With ample headroom, legroom, and shoulder room for everyone, there's space to stretch your legs during long drives. Overall, you and your passengers will enjoy a passenger volume of 153.5 cubic feet, giving you enough space to be comfortable every time you hit the road.

Subaru Ascent Interior: Cargo Room

Not only will you have enough room for your whole family, but you'll also have plenty of space for their belongings as well. If you're traveling with passengers in the back seats, there's 47.5 cubic feet of space behind the second row to store your cargo. That's plenty of room for your kids' school projects, backpacks, and lunch boxes.

However, if you're planning your next camping trip for you and a friend, you'll need more cargo room for gear. By folding down both the second and third rows, you'll have 86.5 cubic feet to work with, giving you enough room for all your essential supplies, including:

• A tent
• Sleeping bags
• Cooking supplies
• Fishing gear

With so much space, you can bring along everything you'll need to make your trip a success without your friend having to hold any extra bags in the front-passenger seat.

Subaru Ascent Interior: Cabin Amenities

Regardless of how many people are riding in the Ascent, everyone on board will feel relaxed. Luckily, you can choose from a variety of available features that will bring even more style and comfort to your SUV, including:

• Leather-wrapped steering wheel
• Ventilated front seats
• Woodgrain-patterned accent trim
• Power tilt/sliding panoramic moonroof

In addition, the 2021 Ascent has a variety of features that will ensure you're happy all year-round. Tri-zone climate control comes standard, so you, your front-seat passenger, and those passengers in the back seats can all select your preferred temperature settings. No one needs to stay too hot or too cold on any drive, so everyone can be happy.

Plus, the Ascent is built to tackle Massachusetts' long winters with a number of available features, including:

• Heated front seats
• Heated second-row seats
• Heated steering wheel

So, no matter what the temperature is outside, you and your passengers can stay warm and comfortable inside the Ascent.

Subaru Ascent Interior: Personalization Features

Your car is an extension of your personality. The Subaru Ascent makes it possible to customize the cabin by choosing the upholstery type and color as well as the type of interior accents. This SUV comes standard with Slate Black cloth upholstery that will hug you like a warm blanket as you travel around town.

You can also choose a Warm Ivory cloth interior for a lighter color that will have you feeling like you're lying on the sand at the beach.

For a premium look and feel, the Subaru Ascent Limited and the Subaru Ascent Touring trim levels come standard with leather-trimmed upholstery. Choose one of three upholstery colors to match the interior to your mood. These upholstery colors include:

• Slate Black Leather
• Warm Ivory Leather
• Java Brown Leather

Once you've chosen the upholstery you prefer, now you can think about the type of accent trim you want throughout the cabin. Do you want the trim to match the leather-trimmed seats? If so, then the available Warm Ivory leather interior accents on the dashboard and doors are just what you're looking for.

Like to keep things simple? The Subaru Ascent comes standard with Ivory carbon fiber-patterned interior accents. A third accent option is the available woodgrain-patterned accent trim to help bring the outdoors in.

Subaru Ascent Interior: Built Tough Enough for Adventures

With room for the whole family, you can plan out your family's next road trip. Go ahead and pack your kids a snack for the ride and have total peace of mind thanks to the available stain-resistant cloth upholstery.

If your kids tend to share their snacks and drinks with the floor or like to splash around in puddles and mud, these seats are perfect for you. With these stain-resistant seats, the fun never has to stop.

You can protect more than the seats from the messiness of childhood thanks to available features like:

• Door Scuff Protector
• All-Weather Floor Liners
• Rear Seatback Protectors

The Rear Seatback Protectors for the third-row bench seat and/or second-row captain's chairs can keep the backside of your rear seats protected when folded down. So, if you're packing up your cargo area after a weekend fishing trip, your seats will be protected from any residual lake water.

Similarly, if you were camping and got caught in a sudden rainstorm, you can toss your wet sleeping bags, tent, and other supplies into the back of your SUV and head home without having to think about cleaning up afterward.

Thanks to these features, you can spend less time thinking about the condition of the cabin and more time enjoying your adventures.
