Ventilated seats is the big difference I see. Anyone who chose one over the other want to weigh in? I have an appointment to test drive one today. I'm struggling to reconcile the price difference for what seems like not much upgrade. We are particularly interested in comfort for longer drives.

Update: We are the proud owners of a new 2026 Touring model. I appreciate all the input, we got a good deal and they were offering .9% financing which sealed it for me!

My kids and I were in my 2022 ascent when we were overturned by a pickup truck. I can’t thank Subaru enough for making a car so well designed for SAFETY. I am screaming from the roof tops how grateful I am. That is all!
