The 2027 Subaru Ascent does not reinvent Subaru’s three-row SUV, but it does add practical updates and color changes that shoppers should know before comparing it with a remaining 2026 model.

Bottom Line: For 2027, Ascent adds a Door Interlock OFF switch, expands LED rear gate light availability, adds rain-sensing windshield wipers on most trims, introduces Daybreak Blue Pearl and Deepwater Blue Pearl, and drops Crimson Red Pearl.

New Door Interlock OFF Switch

The 2027 Ascent adds a Door Interlock OFF switch as standard equipment on all trims. It is a small feature, but one that fits the family-utility mission of the vehicle.

For parents, dog owners, and shoppers who use Ascent as a daily family hauler, convenience details like this matter.

LED Rear Gate Light Availability

An LED rear gate light is standard on all 2027 Ascent trims except Premium. This is the kind of feature that becomes useful at night when loading groceries, sports bags, travel gear, or beach equipment.

Rain-Sensing Wipers

Rain-sensing windshield wipers are standard on all Ascent trims except Premium. For Long Island commuters who deal with sudden rain, highway spray, and changing coastal weather, that is a practical daily-use upgrade.

Color Changes

Daybreak Blue Pearl and Deepwater Blue Pearl are new for 2027 Ascent. Crimson Red Pearl is discontinued.

Color availability can matter if you are comparing incoming inventory, so it is worth checking the exact vehicle listing rather than assuming every color from the prior year carries forward.

What Carries Over?

The main Ascent story stays familiar: 2.4L turbo BOXER power, standard Symmetrical AWD, X-MODE with Hill Descent Control, 8.7 inches of ground clearance, available seating for up to eight, and up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity.
