2020 Honda Pilot
2020 Subaru Ascent
Comparing the 2020 Honda Pilot vs. 2020 Subaru Ascent
Though there are many, many choices for three-row crossover SUVs on the market, few are as popular as the longtime-classic Honda Pilot and the new Subaru Ascent. When you're trying to decide between the two, it can seem as if they're very similar, and they are - but we believe that the 2020 Honda Pilot has several distinct edges over the 2020 Subaru Ascent that make it worth a second look.
Performance
Between these two SUVs, the Pilot offers more power on the road, leading to a drive that's ultimately more exciting than the Subaru Ascent. The Pilot has a V6 with 280 horsepower and 262 lb.-ft. of torque where the Ascent offers a turbocharged 4-cylinder with 260 horsepower and 277 lb.-ft. of torque. The Pilot's redline sits at 6,750 rpm and the Ascent's is at 6,000 rpm. Both vehicles can tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped, and have virtually the same mpg estimates.
Interior Comparison
The interiors of vehicles are largely subjective to drivers' individual tastes, and that's true of the Pilot and the Ascent, too, though we believe the Pilot has a design schema that's more universally appealing. Large touchscreens, Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto, and Bluetooth®* connectivity are offered in both vehicles, so you can stream your favorite audio. In terms of materials and design, the Pilot has a more modern monochromatic look with black and gray-tone neutrals whereas the Ascent uses more earth tones and outdated wood paneling.
Safety Features
Both Honda and Subaru take your safety on the road very seriously and have equipped their three-row SUVs with standard driver assistance suites, Honda Sensing® and Subaru EyeSight® respectively. The Honda Sensing suite in the Pilot includes a collision mitigation braking system, lane-keeping system, road departure mitigation system, and adaptive cruise control. The EyeSight suite offers adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, pre-collision braking, and pre-collision throttle management.
