Space for Family Road Trips
The Subaru Ascent offers plenty of people and cargo capacity with up to eight seats depending on the second-row configuration and a generous rear cargo area. Surprisingly, the Honda Pilot has slightly larger dimensions, but it doesn't translate to more room for passengers. The Ascent's second row can slide and offers more legroom than the Pilot in the front and second rows.
Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
Like the rest of the Subaru SUV lineup, the Ascent cuts no corners. Every model, regardless of trim or equipment level, comes standard with symmetrical all-wheel drive. You don't have to be an off-roader to appreciate the added traction and confidence that all-wheel drive brings to changing road conditions around Norwood or deeply rutted roads in Foxborough. The Honda Pilot offers all-wheel drive, but it costs extra or comes standard on the most expensive trims. Additionally, the Subaru Ascent offers more ground clearance at 8.7 inches compared to the Pilot's standard 7.3 or 8.3 inches on the off-road-oriented TrailSport model.
Smartphone Integration and New Multimedia Touchscreens
The Subaru Ascent offers much more on the technology front at a more affordable price. The stunning 11.6-inch infotainment touchscreen outclasses the standard 7.0-inch touchscreen in the Honda Pilot. The Ascent's touchscreen is purposely designed for ease of use and less driver distraction. It also comes standard with a suite of advanced safety and driver assistance features that helped it earn the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety's Top Safety Pick+ in 2023 and 2024. The Honda Pilot did not earn the designation in 2023 but made some improvements that helped it make the list in 2024.
