Compare The Subaru Ascent Vs. Honda Pilot

2024 Subaru Ascent vs. 2024 Honda Pilot Competitive Comparison With Patrick Subaru

Both the Subaru Ascent and Honda Pilot offer shoppers modern styling, up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity, plenty of amenities, and three rows of seats with the ability to carry up to eight passengers. But the 2024 Subaru Ascent offers a little more than the 2024 Honda Pilot in some key areas. Take a closer look with Patrick Subaru today.


Superior Safety

Only the Subaru Ascent is an IIHS Top Safety Pick+. While the Subaru Ascent scored Good or Superior (the highest scores available) on almost every test, the Honda Pilot received only an Acceptable score on the small overlap front passenger side test and scored Marginal on the updated side test. The Subaru Ascent also scored higher on the LATCH ease of use test, making it the obvious choice for customers requiring a car seat.

Both the Subaru Ascent and Honda Pilot have plenty of driver assistance technologies. Lane Departure Warning, Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control, and Lane Keep Assist come standard on both.

Cargo Capacity

Both the Subaru Ascent and Honda Pilot provide shoppers with three rows of seats, plenty of cargo capacity, and up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity. Likewise, they both offer flat-folding second-row seats that offer an even more optimized space to haul things. But, the 2024 Subaru Ascent offers a bit more space in some key areas that provide more comfortable accommodation for drivers and passengers. The 2024 Subaru Ascent offers superior front headroom and leg room, and increased hip room in the third row.

Technology

The 2024 Subaru Ascent offers an 11.6-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard. That's a lot more value than the 7.0-inch touchscreen that comes standard with the 2024 Honda Pilot, which only offers a wired solution for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. In fact, you would have to step up to the Honda Pilot EX-L for wireless connectivity - a $6,000 upcharge from the base model.

Both the Subaru Ascent and Honda Pilot offer optional tech like tri-zone automatic climate control, Wi-Fi Hotspot capability, and heated second-row seats.

Standard Features

Despite the lower base MSRP of the 2024 Subaru Ascent, it comes packed with features that the 2024 Honda Pilot doesn't offer as standard. Raised roof rails, all-wheel drive, and steering-responsive LED headlights make the Subaru Ascent slightly more prepared for your next adventure. The Subaru Ascent offers five more cup holders than the Honda Pilot, too: 19, compared to the 14 found in the cabin of the Honda Pilot.

The features you value most are more affordable with the 2024 Subaru Ascent. 20-inch wheels are available from the Onyx Edition trim and upward, starting at $41,295. If you want 20-inch wheels on the Honda Pilot, you'll need to spend at least $46,450 for the Honda Pilot Touring. The same goes for desirable features like a panoramic moonroof. Spend less and get more with the 2024 Subaru Ascent.
