2021 Subaru Ascent vs. 2021 Honda Pilot
Performance and Capability
- If you enjoy getting out of the city and going on camping, hiking, or rock climbing trips with friends and family, the new 2021 Subaru Ascent allows you to reach any destination on or off the road with ease thanks to standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive on every model. The Honda Pilot comes equipped with standard front-wheel drive, and while all-wheel drive is optional on all models, it will cost extra.

- The Ascent pairs every engine with a continuously variable automatic transmission to deliver the utmost fuel economy. All models also feature paddle shifters with an 8-speed simulated manual mode, giving you the feel of manual shifting when you want it. The Pilot offers either a standard 6-speed or available 9-speed automatic transmission throughout the lineup.
- When you do find yourself facing off-road terrain or bad weather around Placitas, you can traverse it all and ride over obstacles with 8.7-inches of ground clearance. The Honda Pilot offers 7.3-inches of ground clearance.
