How many cupholders does the Subaru Ascent have?
The Subaru Ascent has 10 cupholders in total inside the cabin, spread across the three rows.
As Subaru positions itself as a family-friendly three-row SUV, beverage storage is part of the practical design. The following breakdown reflects typical configurations for 2023–2025 Ascent models; exact counts can vary by seating arrangement and trim level.
Cupholder layout across the cabin
Here is where you’ll find the cupholders in a standard three-row Ascent configuration.
- Front row: two cupholders integrated into the center console between the driver and front passenger seats.
- Second row: four cupholders accessible to passengers via a fold-down center armrest (or seating configuration with captain chairs). These are distributed across the middle row for convenience.
- Third row: four cupholders located in the outer areas of the third row, often accessible from the cargo area and/or door panels depending on trim.
In summary, the interior design provides a total of 10 cupholders across all three rows in typical configurations. Some variations exist by seating arrangement (captain chairs vs. bench) and model year.
Notes on trim variations
While most mainstream trims maintain the 10-cupholder count, certain configurations—such as different center-console layouts or optional second-row armrests—may slightly alter perceived accessibility. Always check the specific model year and seating configuration for exact cupholder locations and counts.
Practical implications for families
Having 10 cupholders helps keep drinks within reach for up to seven passengers, with space for water bottles, coffee cups, and kid-friendly sippy cups. The layout also leaves room in the rear for other cargo needs and reduces spill risk through thoughtfully placed holders.
Summary
Final takeaway: The Subaru Ascent is equipped with 10 cupholders across its three rows, designed to accommodate a full family’s beverage needs across most seating configurations as of the 2023–2025 model years.
