The New Subaru Ascent Vs. Honda Pilot

The New Subaru Ascent Vs. Honda Pilot: Which is Best?

Whether the new Subaru Ascent or the Honda Pilot is a better SUV for you depends entirely on what you’d like to do with the vehicle. Sportier, adrenaline junkie families will thoroughly enjoy the fuel economy, standard symmetrical all-wheel drive, cargo space, and the surplus of affordable tech features that the new Subaru Ascent offers. Keep reading to understand what the Ascent can do for all of our athletic Subaru drivers in Morristown! 

Performance

The new Ascent’s all-wheel drive is a given, and so is the unique X-Mode® traction control element of this Subaru SUV. An innovation that optimizes the power distribution of your AWD system, making it more efficient and smoother, X-mode® kicks Ascent performance up a notch. There’s also active torque vectoring and hill descent control, making off-roading that much more feasible. 

Styling & Design

The largest 7-8 seater Subaru SUV currently available, the Ascent offers more space than the Pilot with a maximum cargo volume of 75.6 cubic feet. If you’re traveling with a ton of camping or excursion equipment, the Ascent is the way to go with its fully flat-folding seats. Additionally, if you’re in the habit of making family trips with lots of passengers and even more luggage, you’ll still want to opt for the Ascent.

Technology

When it comes to technology features, your dollars can stretch farther with the new Ascent’s standard tech amenities that start at base trims:

• 4G LTE Wi-Fi capability
• Rear-Vision Camera with washer
• Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™
• SUBARU STARLINK® Multimedia for compatible devices
• EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology*
• DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System*
• Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert*
