The 2019 Honda Pilot and the 2019 Subaru Ascent are both powerful three row SUVs. But how do they stack up against each other? While both are solid vehicles from reliable manufacturers, the 2019 Honda Pilot beats out the 2019 Subaru Ascent in terms of features, specs, and safety. Research with the SUV experts at Honda of Kirkland.
Both of these 3-row SUVs come with standard seating for eight passengers and optional second-row captain’s chairs with reduced total seating for up to seven passengers. You’ll also find both models offer available features like heated first- and second-row seats, leather upholstery, and a panoramic sunroof. There are some important areas where the Pilot beats the competition, however:
Wireless Smartphone Charging Pad
Standard Audio System
Standard Rearview Camera
Honda Sensing® and Subaru EyeSight driver assistance packages both use cameras, sensors, and self-driving technologies to help keep you safer on the road, but Honda Sensing® gives you more safety features. Seattle families won’t need to worry, then, when they visit one of Seattle’s many libraries.
Forward Collision Warning/Automatic Braking
Lane Departure Warning/Lane Keep Assist
Adaptive Cruise Control
Road Departure Warning
Blind Spot Camera
Finally, the Honda Pilot’s standard 3.5L V6 engine develops a capable output of 280 hp, easily outclassing the Subaru Ascent’s standard turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, which only makes 260 hp.
