3-row crossovers make an ideal choice for drivers looking to combine the space and practicality of a minivan with the elevating seating, commanding performance, and eye-turning styling of a conventional SUV. Okay, but which one is right for you and your family? We’ve compared 2021 Honda Pilot vs. 2021 Subaru Ascent to help you find out, so simply read on to discover how they measure up across the following factors:

  • Power and MPG
  • Cabin Space
  • Features

Pilot vs. Ascent: Power and MPG

As noted by the team at The Car Connection: “Eschewing V-6 power or even more than one available powertrain, the Subaru Ascent is relatively alone in its simplicity.” That choice means it’s considerably less powerful and engaging than the new Honda Pilot.

You’ll make:

  • Up to 280 hp with the 2021 Honda Pilot
  • Up to 260 hp with the 2021 Subaru Ascent

You’ll also tow:

  • Up to 3,500 lbs. as standard with the 2021 Honda Pilot
  • Up to 2,000 lbs. as standard with the 2021 Subaru Ascent

Pilot vs. Ascent: Cabin Space

Both the 2021 Honda Pilot and 2021 Subaru Ascent let you choose between 8-passenger seating as standard or 7-passenger seating with their available 2nd row captain’s chairs, but the Honda Pilot offers significantly more cargo space.

  • Up to 109.0 cubic feet of storage space behind the 1st row of the 2021 Pilot.
  • Up to 86.5 cubic feet of storage space behind the 1st row of the 2021 Ascent.
