Our team often gets customers looking for Subaru 3rd row seating options. Right now, the answer is one model, and it’s a strong one. The 2026 Subaru Ascent is the flagship three-row SUV, built specifically for families who need every seat filled and room left over for gear.
The 2026 Subaru Ascent
The 2026 Subaru Ascent seats seven or eight passengers depending on configuration. Choose second-row captain’s chairs for a seven-passenger setup with easier third-row access or go with the bench seat to fit a full eight. Third-row legroom comes in at 31.7 inches, which is genuinely usable space for adults on shorter drives and comfortable for kids on longer ones.
Under the hood, a turbocharged 2.4-liter SUBARU BOXER® engine produces 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque. Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive® and 8.7 inches of ground clearance deliver the all-weather confidence New Jersey families count on from October through April. Towing capacity reaches 5,000 lbs when properly equipped, and up to 75.6 or 72.8 cubic feet of cargo space opens up when the rear rows fold flat depending on your trim.
A New Three-Row Option Is Coming
The 2027 Subaru Getaway, an all-electric three-row SUV with 420 horsepower and more than 300 miles of estimated range, will be released later this year. It sits six or seven and carries standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive®. Ask our team for availability details.
