Modern Family SUV Rooted in Reliability
The 2026 Subaru Ascent Onyx Edition-Touring stands as Subaru’s largest SUV, uniquely blending size, safety, and outdoor readiness to serve families across Middleburg, Atlantic Beach, and Orange Park. With seating for up to seven passengers, this three-row midsize vehicle accommodates growing families and their gear without compromising on comfort or functionality.
Though the 2026 model remains largely consistent with the previous year, Subaru’s decision to replace the Onyx Edition with the Onyx Edition-Touring adds premium touches and enhanced features that elevate the overall experience.
Underpinning the Ascent is Subaru’s hallmark Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system, providing dependable traction whether you’re commuting around Neptune Beach or navigating rural roads in St. Marys. This drivetrain, paired with a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine producing 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque, offers capable acceleration that complements the vehicle’s family-friendly focus.
The onboard Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) maintains smooth power delivery, supporting confident handling in variable weather conditions common throughout northeast Florida’s seasonal shifts.

Yet, the vehicle impresses by offering balanced control through light steering effort, making commutes through Jacksonville’s suburban neighborhoods both safer and less stressful.
Performance measurements highlight the Ascent’s competitive standing in its class, with a 0-60 mph time around 6.8 seconds and a top speed just over 130 mph—adequate for highway merging and overtaking maneuvers.
