Subaru has released official pricing and information for the 2020 Ascent in the United States. The mid-size SUV is now offered with a Rear Seat Reminder system on all trim levels that prevents child/pet entrapment in the vehicle by prompting drivers to check the rear seat before exiting.

At $31,995, the starting price remains unchanged. The base model comes with a 6.5-inch infotainment system with smartphone integration, multi-function display, three-zone climate control, Auto Hold, EyeSight tech, X-Mode, all-wheel drive, power door locks and side mirrors, and 18-inch wheels.
