Whether you're looking for maximum cargo capacity, smooth all-weather performance, or modern connectivity, the Subaru Ascent is bound to leave you smiling. Explore our comparison below, browse available models online, or get in touch to schedule a test drive today.
When it comes to daily driving, the Subaru Ascent offers plenty of power with a 2.4-liter Turbocharged SUBARU BOXER® engine that pumps out 260 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque. While the Honda Pilot produces up to 285 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque, the Subaru Ascent reaches peak horsepower at a lower engine speed, helping you enjoy smooth acceleration. Though the Toyota Highlander features a similar engine layout with up to 265 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, the Subaru Ascent features a refined Lineartronic® CVT that keeps you in the powerband in comparison to the Highlander's 8-speed automatic transmission that can feel slow due to extra gear changes.
When it comes to off-road capability and all-weather adventures, the Subaru Ascent is a stand-out choice. 2024 Toyota Highlander SUVs offer up to 8.0 inches of ground clearance, and 2024 Honda Pilot SUVs offer up to 8.3 inches of ground clearance, while the 2024 Subaru Ascent features 8.7 inches of standard ground clearance. In addition, the Subaru Ascent comes with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, Active Torque Vectoring, and Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC), while the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander require drivers to select specific configurations for optimal versatility.
Inside the cabin, the Subaru Ascent, Honda Pilot, and Toyota Highlander all highlight seating for up to eight people with a standard second-row bench or seating for up to seven people with available captain's chairs. When it comes to cargo storage, the Subaru Ascent offers a maximum cargo capacity of up to 75.6 cubic feet, while the Honda Pilot has a maximum of 87.0 cubic feet of storage space, and the Toyota Highlander offers up to 84.3 cubic feet of cargo space. As a bonus, the Subaru Ascent features 19 cupholders, so you and your passengers always have access to their favorite drinks and snacks on the go. While the Subaru Ascent may be the smallest of the trio, it offers impressive legroom with 42.2 inches of front legroom, while the Toyota Highlander features 42.0 inches of front legroom, and the Honda Pilot offers 41.0 inches of front legroom.
When it comes to connectivity on the go, the Subaru Ascent offers plenty of ways to keep in touch with your friends and family. Sporting a standard 11.6-inch SUBARU infotainment system with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, you can access your favorite apps no matter where life takes you. In comparison, the Honda Pilot only comes with a standard 7.0-inch or available 9.0-inch touchscreen, while the Toyota Highlander comes with a standard 8.0-inch or available 12.3-inch touchscreen on the highest trims. While the Honda Pilot features a standard 7-speaker audio system compared to the Toyota Highlander and Subaru Ascent with standard 6-speaker audio systems, the Subaru Ascent offers an available 14-speaker Harman Kardon® premium audio system with a 576-watt-equivalent amplifier that outclasses both the 12-speaker Bose system in the Pilot and the 11-speaker JBL system in the Highlander.
While the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander offer unique packages that are similar to the Subaru Ascent, the Ascent remains an affordable choice for growing families and outdoor enthusiasts who need standard all-wheel drive. When you're ready to find the ideal Subaru SUV for your lifestyle, Milford Subaru will be here to help.
