Subaru Ascent Depreciation & Resale Value

Subaru Ascent keeps an estimated 58% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #246 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Subaru Ascent retains an estimated 58% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #246 of 530 cars we track. That is roughly in line with the 58% five-year average for SUV in its class.

Most of the loss lands early: the Subaru Ascent sheds about 12% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $40,795 it falls to around $23,742 by year five — a five-year loss near $17,053, about $9.34 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Subaru Ascent bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
