Is the Subaru Ascent still sold new in Canada?
Not right now. Subaru Canada told The Car Guide (January 7, 2026) that the Ascent, Crosstrek Wilderness and Forester Wilderness are “suspended indefinitely”. All three were built in Indiana for Canada, imports stopped because of Canadian counter-tariffs on US-made products, and “a review of the tariff situation is still ongoing.” Subaru didn't say how long the pause will last. The Ascent sold 2,755 units here in 2024, according to Automotive News Canada.
Subaru of America has announced a 2027 Ascent for the US, still assembled in Lafayette; that announcement doesn't cover Canada. Subaru Canada's website (subaru.ca) didn't list the Ascent when checked on October 26, 2026.

Ascent engine, towing and fuel consumption
| Item | 2025 Ascent |

Ascent warranty and safety
| Subaru Canada coverage | Term |
|---|---|
| Comprehensive | 3 years or 60,000 km |
| Major components (powertrain) | 5 years or 100,000 km, transferable |
| Corrosion perforation | 5 years, unlimited km |
A late Ascent may still be covered, so have a Subaru dealer confirm the in-service date and the coverage left by VIN.
Safety: in US tests, IIHS named the 2026 Ascent, a model not sold in Canada, a TOP SAFETY PICK+. IIHS applies the Ascent's Good driver-side small overlap and updated side ratings to every model year from 2019.
Subaru Ascent recalls
| Transport Canada recall | Ascent model years | Issue and remedy |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-329 | 2019 to 2025 (also 2025 to 2026 Forester and 2026 Crosstrek Hybrid) | The compliance label lists an incorrect gross axle weight rating, which could lead owners to overload the vehicle; new label |
| 2023-521 | 2023 (also 2023 Outback, Legacy and Impreza) | The bolts that attach the driveshaft centre support brace could loosen, and the front end of the driveshaft could separate; new bolts |
| 2023-211 | 2023 | Factory all-season tires on 20-inch wheels may have been damaged when mounted, risking sudden tire failure; tires replaced |
| 2022-703 | 2019 to 2022 | The auxiliary heater ground terminal bolt may not have been tightened properly and could overheat and melt, a fire risk; bolt replaced |
| 2021-746 | 2020 | Steering tie-rod end mounting holes weren't made correctly, and parts could separate, causing a loss of steering control; parts replaced |
| 2021-745 | 2019 and 2020 (also 2020 Outback and Legacy) | Transmission control software could let the drive chain slip or break, causing a loss of power; software updated, transmission replaced if needed |
| 2019-605 | 2019 | A transmission hydraulic sensor could malfunction, causing slipping or vibration; software updated, parts replaced if needed |
| 2019-604 | 2019 (also 2019 Forester) | The PCV valve could fail and pieces could enter the engine, causing engine failure; valve replaced |
Until recall 2022-703 is done, the notice says not to use remote start or leave the vehicle running unattended, and to park outside. Have a Subaru dealer check the VIN for open recalls before you buy.
Buying a used Subaru Ascent in Canada
Know the model years
The Ascent arrived as an all-new model for 2019, and there has been one generation so far. The 2023 refresh brought new styling, an 11.6-inch touchscreen, surround-view cameras and an updated EyeSight system, plus the Onyx trim. A Sport trim based on the Limited joined for 2025.
Check the transmission on early models
Recalls 2019-604, 2019-605 and 2021-745 cover the 2019 and 2020 engine and transmission. Ask for proof the work was done, and watch for slipping or vibration on a test drive.
Reliability
The Car Guide rates the 2025 Ascent's reliability 7 out of 10.
