2020 Subaru Ascent vs 2020 Honda Pilot
Serving Harrisonburg, VA
The Subaru Ascent is one of the newest additions to the midsize crossover SUV options, and it has quickly become a preferred model for many drivers. The Ascent was introduced with the 2019 model year, so the 2020 Ascent carries on the fresh styling and top features that its predecessor has. The Honda Pilot is a mainstay in the list of midsize crossover SUV options. It was initially offered in 2003 and is now in the middle of its third generation. Are you wondering which of these models is a good fit for you? Further review will reveal critical differences.
Style
The 2020 Subaru Ascent is the largest vehicle produced by this automaker, and it carries the same athletic charm that its family members have. Its hood has a commanding presence with a chiseled façade, and the chrome-outlined grille edges outward to pave the way on your adventures. The sides are gently sculpted and are accented by black trim along the lower body. Raised roof rails, a roof spoiler, and fog lights are a few of the other exterior items that add to the Ascent’s style. The 2020 Honda Pilot has a smoother feel overall. The hood has light character lines, and the thin grille features two chrome bars. The sides are smooth, and the roof gives only a hint of integrated roof rails.
Features
When you explore the features inside the 2020 Subaru Ascent, you will notice variations across the four available trims. Some of the thoughtful items that are in this model are a panoramic power moonroof, leather trim, heated seats, a 180-degree front view monitor, StarLink, a 14-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, a navigation system, memory seats, keyless entry, and many other items. The Honda Pilot for 2020 is offered in six trims, and gear that could be in the Pilot includes a power moonroof, a sound system, power-adjusting front seats, a rearview camera, cloth, or leather material, a climate control system and a few additional items.
Performance
Performance differences are also present between these two models. All of the Ascent’s trims for the 2020 model year are equipped with a 2.4-liter BOXER, 4-cylinder engine, and a continuously variable transmission. The Ascent offers 260 horsepower, and it also comes with vehicle dynamics control and symmetrical all-wheel drive as standard equipment across all trims. In comparison, the 2020 Honda Pilot also has the same powertrain across its six trims, and the power capabilities are relatively similar to the Ascent’s horsepower. However, the Pilot comes with an automatic transmission, and 2-wheel drive is standard across most trims.
