Comparing the Ascent to the Pilot and Highlander
Shopping for family-friendly SUVs for sale in North Attleboro, MA leaves you with many capable options. The new Ascent, Pilot, and Highlander offer versatile performance and spacious cabins. The Subaru Ascent pulls ahead in many ways, and our team is excited to show what it can do for you.
Performance and Efficiency
The Subaru Ascent offers a powerful engine that helps with anything on your calendar. Standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and a 260-horsepower engine keep you confident and provide peace of mind. Enjoy up to 26 MPG highway and 19 MPG city with our new Ascent models near Smithfield, RI.
Choosing the Honda Pilot does not provide standard all-wheel drive. When equipped with all-wheel drive, the Pilot offers worse highway fuel economy. The Highlander is also standard with all-wheel drive, but pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission instead of a CVT.
Comfort and Interior Space
As the largest option in the new Subaru lineup, the Ascent offers up to 153.2 cubic feet of passenger space and up to 75.6 cubic feet of cargo space. Generous legroom in each row makes it a popular choice for Providence, RI families on road trips and errands. Tri-zone climate control adjusts the interior to your preferences.
You'll get less legroom for the front seats of the Honda Pilot, and the Highlander offers less front- and third-row legroom. The Highlander also offers less overall passenger space, making it a less capable option for family driving.
Infotainment and Technology
Every Ascent has an 11.6-inch touchscreen with wireless smartphone connectivity. The large screen makes it easy to navigate menus, change songs, and adjust settings. Choose between a six-speaker sound system and a 14-speaker Harmon Kardon sound system for a concert-like experience while exploring Foxborough, MA.
Neither the Honda Pilot nor the Toyota Highlander offers up to 14 speakers for its upgraded sound system. The Highlander also has a smaller standard touchscreen system.
Safety Systems
EyeSight Driver Assist Technology gives every Subaru Ascent a wide range of features looking out for you. Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering, Lane Departure with Sway Warning, and more come standard. You'll also have Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and Brake Assist with every new Ascent. A Driver Attention Monitor comes with every trim higher than the Ascent Premium.
The new Toyota Highlander offers many similar features, but it cannot include a driver monitor. The Honda Pilot has a similar assortment of standard features to help you navigate busy roads and highways around Warwick, RI.
Value
With its long list of standard features, upgrade options, and a competitive starting price, the Subaru Ascent is a great choice for many shoppers. Choosing the Honda Pilot or the Toyota Highlander will mean a higher starting price and requires you to upgrade to include some of the same features.
