2020 Subaru Ascent vs. 2020 Honda Pilot

• Every new Subaru Ascent model comes equipped with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, giving you optimal traction whether you're driving through the streets of Garner or exploring the rugged terrain surrounding Clayton. The Pilot, however, comes equipped with standard front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive models will cost you more.
• All Subaru Ascent models come equipped with a Starlink multimedia system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility standard. The Pilot offers both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as available features that don't come standard.
• The Ascent offers more cargo space than the Pilot does. Both vehicles offer generous cargo space, but the Ascent provides you with 17.8 cubic feet of cargo space with all the seats up and up to 86.5 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down. The Pilot falls slightly short with 16.5 cubic feet of space with the seats up and 83.9 cubic feet with the seats down.
• The Ascent offers 8.7-inches of ground clearance while the Pilot falls short with 7.3-inches of ground clearance.
• The Ascent starts at just under $32,000 with the Pilot starting at slightly less at just over $31,500, but with standard all-wheel drive and many other standard features in the Ascent and not in the Pilot, you get your money's worth and then some.
