Patriot Subaru of North Attleboro Has Put Together A Comparison For You - Let Start With The MSRP and Value
It's no secret that the 2025 Ascent is a remarkable vehicle. But how does it stack up against the competition? Spoiler alert! It does very well. Compared to the 2025 Toyota Highlander, both vehicles offer seating for up to eight. However, from the ground up, the Ascent wins.
The 2025 Subaru Ascent is a more affordable option with its MSRP of only $38,795, whereas the 2025 Highlander starts at $39,520 and doesn't include all-wheel drive, forcing your budget to stretch. Every Ascent model features our standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, saving you thousands of dollars for extra capabilities. While you can get an all-wheel drivetrain in the new Highlander, you'll pay extra to own it. These are but a few examples. Let us dive deeper and help you see why the 2025 Ascent outshines the 2025 Highlander.

Safety
Your safety on Providence roadways is our priority. The 2025 Ascent features our advanced EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, which adds the security you deserve while exploring our busy roads. This standard safety technology provides great features like Adaptive Cruise Control, Pre-Collision Braking, and more. Additionally, you'll enjoy our available Automatic Emergency Steering, helping you avoid disaster by providing automatic steering and pre-collision braking support.
Both vehicles offer standard safety technology; however, the 2025 Ascent takes it further than the Highlander. Our available DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System keeps a watchful eye on you, ensuring your attention is where it matters. It alerts you if you become distracted or drowsy behind the wheel, keeping you and your loved ones safe.
The 2025 Subaru Ascent was a Top Safety Pick+ from the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS), the highest designation from the top vehicle safety reviewers. The Toyota Highlander earned the Top Safety Pick, just under the Ascent's superior rating.
Cargo
Whether you're tackling the trails around Norwood or running errands in Foxborough, you need an SUV designed to carry the load. Fortunately, the 2025 Ascent is here. Offering more third-row cargo room than the 2025 Highlander, you can pack your cargo area to the brim. The Ascent gives you 17.8 cubic feet of third-row cargo room, while the Highlander falls short at only 16 cubic feet of third-row cargo room.


Technology & Standard Features
Enjoy a more immersive infotainment experience in the new 2025 Subaru Ascent. Our standard high-resolution 11.6-inch touchscreen best compliments our standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. This user-friendly interface lets you easily control your entertainment options and elevate your Warwick area driving experience. The smaller standard 8.0-inch touchscreen in the Highlander fails to live up to the Ascent's expectations. When you're ready to elevate your infotainment experience, choose the 2025 Ascent.
