Compare the New Subaru Ascent to the Ford Explorer

• The Subaru Ascent Has More Seating: When it comes down to which SUV can carry more passengers, the Ascent claims victory. The Ascent can accommodate seven or eight passengers. The Explorer can only support six or seven. If you need the extra room for your family, the Ascent has you covered.
• The Subaru Ascent Comes Standard with All-Wheel Drive: While AWD is available as an upgrade on the Ford Explorer, only the Subaru Ascent comes with the feature right off the bat. Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive comes with all Ascent models, and it's built into the design of the Ascent rather than tacked on as an option.
• The Subaru Ascent Has More Standard Driver-Assist Features: Both the Ascent and Explorer come with a forward collision warning, but only the Ascent comes standard with a lane-departure warning and adaptive cruise control. These features are available on the Explorer, but only if you upgrade to a higher trim. They're standard on the base Ascent.
