Compare The Subaru Ascent Vs. Toyota Highlander
Compare the 2024 Subaru Ascent to the 2024 Toyota Highlander
Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of Subaru SUVs on New England roads? Massachusetts drivers trust in the reliability and safety of a Subaru vehicle, and there is no model more perfectly suited for life in the northeast than the 2024 Subaru Ascent. Compared to another popular SUV, the 2024 Toyota Highlander, you can start to see how the Subaru Ascent shines with more standard features and the capability to meet all your needs.
The Subaru Ascent has more to offer than the Toyota Highlander at a lower price point so that you can get a vehicle ready for your family's everyday needs at an affordable price. One of the standout features across the Subaru lineup is symmetrical all-wheel drive (AWD), which gives you superior traction whether driving in wintery conditions or being able to say yes to an off-road excursion. Every Subaru Ascent, regardless of trim level, comes standard with the incredible capabilities and safety that symmetrical AWD brings to your daily drive. The Toyota Highlander offers a similar AWD setup, but you'll have to pay thousands more to add it or upgrade to a more expensive model.
Superior Safety Standards
Subaru Ascent comes with EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology with features like Adaptive Cruise Control, Pre-Collision Braking, and more. The governing body for vehicle safety, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), has awarded the Subaru Ascent and Toyota Highlander as Top Safety Pick+ winners. However, if you dig deeper, you'll find that the Ascent scores a "Good" or "Superior" in every category, which are the highest marks possible. The Toyota Highlander passed enough measures to earn the Top Safety Pick+, but they missed the mark in two key factors important to overall safety: Headlights and Rear Passenger Safety.
The Toyota Highlander reserves the safest headlights for higher trim levels and fails to prevent the same safety standards to rear passengers to help prevent serious injuries to the head and neck during a collision. When you drive a Subaru Ascent, you can feel confident that every standard from the IIHS has been met or exceeded, which translates to better safety standards for your family at no additional cost.

More Cargo Space
The Subaru Ascent and the Toyota Highlander are three-row SUVs with excellent cargo space capacity and smart storage solutions to manage clutter. They are great vehicles for long commutes, road trips, and weekend getaways, with comfortable seating for up to eight. If you are using all three rows to seat passengers, the Subaru Ascent takes the lead in cargo space with 17.8 cubic feet compared to the Highlander's 16 cubic feet. With that many people in the vehicle, you'll need all the space you can get.
Advanced Technology and More Standard Features
