All-New Subaru Ascent Onyx Edition Is Coming June 14 - Details Here
Subaru of America needed to do something to spark interest in the 2022 Ascent, and the Camden N.J. automaker is delivering an all-new 2022 Ascent Onyx Edition. Subaru says the reveal will be on June 14, 2021.
Subaru of America said on their Facebook and Twitter pages, "Get ready for a darker, more dramatic Subaru Ascent. The all-new 2022 Ascent Onyx Edition is coming soon and features stylish details as well as convenient interior upgrades."
The Subaru Ascent needed an upgrade like the Onyx Edition in a bad way. Torque News reported last week the Ascent 3-Row family hauler has been on a sales slide all year.
In May, Subaru of America reported the 2021 Subaru Ascent sales for May, and they were down compared with May 2020. Subaru reported 4,310 sales compared with 5,740 last year, down 24.9 percent.
The 2021 Ascent sales year-to-date show a surprising downward trend. Subaru has delivered 23,181 Ascent SUVs to customers in 2021. But last year, 25,318 models were sold through May 2020. That's 8.4 percent less than a year ago.
What is coming for the 2022 Subaru Ascent model change?
We now know a new 2022 Ascent Onyx Edition is coming soon. All 2022 Subaru Ascent will get a refresh with some new exterior styling upgrades and improvements to the interior. We don't expect any changes to the 2.4-liter turbocharged Boxer engine or the drivetrain.
The new Ascent Onyx Edition will likely get new interior upgrades over the standard model. We know it will be offered in an Onyx Black exterior color. Look for the Onyx Edition to also get the next-generation EyeSight X driver-assist technology.
The 2022 Subaru Ascent base, Premium, Limited, Touring, and new Onyx Edition pricing and model changes have not been announced. The new 3-Row family hauler models should arrive at retailers this summer. Torque News will bring you further 2022 Ascent Onyx Edition details on June 14.
