We know that choosing your next vehicle is a big decision, which is why we're here to provide you with the information and assurances you need by comparing the new Ascent lineup to its competitors, including the Toyota Highlander, Ford Explorer, and Honda Pilot, giving you more perspective into why the Ascent lineup is the right choice for any driver around Dundee, IL.

Subaru Ascent vs. Toyota Highlander

  • All Subaru Ascent models come with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system that actively sends power to all four-wheels and can divert it to the ones with the most traction, providing you with the most control and steadiest handling anywhere you go around Hoffman Estates and around the country. The Toyota Highlander lineup comes with standard front-wheel drive. All Highlander models are available with all-wheel drive, but at a higher price.
  • The new Subaru Ascent models start at under $34,000, while the Toyota Highlander lineup starts at over $36,000, allowing you to upgrade to a higher Ascent trim level for a comparable price to the base Highlander model. If you choose a Highlander model with all-wheel drive, it costs more, bringing the price up even higher.
  • Although the Highlander boasts slightly higher fuel economy than the Ascent does, the Ascent lineup lets you fill up a 19.3 gallon tank, compared to the 17.9 gallon tank in the Highlander, allowing you to travel further without needing to fill up again in a new Subaru Ascent model.

Subaru Ascent vs. Honda Pilot

  • Every new Subaru Ascent model comes equipped with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, providing you with optimal control and traction in and on any weather or terrain. The new Honda Pilot comes equipped with standard front-wheel drive, with all-wheel drive available as an option on every model at a higher price.
  • The new Subaru Ascent lineup is also more affordable than the Honda Pilot lineup is, starting at under $34,000, while the Pilot lineup starts at just over $39,000. Factor in the available all-wheel drive and you'll pay extra on the Pilot lineup.
  • The Honda Pilot lineup has more standard horsepower than the Ascent does. However, the Ascent models all come with a 2.4-liter turbocharged engine that produces 277-horsepower, compared to the V6 engine in the Pilot models, delivering 262-horsepower.

Subaru Ascent vs. Ford Explorer

  • Take on the worst weather around Algonquin, IL, and adventure on the roughest terrain in any Ascent model, as all come equipped with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. The Ford Explorer lineup comes with standard rear-wheel drive, with all-wheel drive available on all models for extra.
  • The new Subaru Ascent lineup offers more seating than the Ford Explorer lineup does, with your choice of seating for eight or seven passengers. The Ford Explorer has seating for either seven or six passengers.
  • The Subaru Ascent lineup of models all come equipped with a new 11.6-inch touchscreen display, letting you control a variety of vehicle and smartphone features as you drive around Lake in the Hills with the touch of your finger. The new Ford Explorer comes equipped with a standard 8-inch touchscreen display.
