Here in Fayetteville, NC, midsize SUVs are in high demand. And of all the new midsize SUVs on the market, there's nothing quite like the new Subaru Ascent for sale here at Cross Creek Subaru.
As one of the newest additions to the Subaru SUV portfolio, the new Subaru Ascent has skyrocketed in popularity in recent years. However, with fierce competition from rivals like the new Toyota Highlander, it's only natural to wonder which of these two SUVs is the better bet overall. Fortunately for you, we've done a competitive analysis between these two models to show you why the new Subaru Ascent is one of the new SUVs for sale in the greater Fayetteville, NC area.
Performance
On the performance front, the new Subaru Ascent has one clear edge on the new Toyota Highlander. With standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, the new Subaru Ascent offers confidence and control whether you're traveling off-road or commuting out to Fort Bragg in inclement weather. With the new Toyota Highlander, you'll still have standard front wheel drive, but you'll have to pay extra to get all-wheel drive.
Interior
Both the new Subaru Ascent and Toyota Highlander can seat up to eight passengers, making them great for growing families throughout the greater Fayetteville, NC area. However, when it comes to interior space, the new Subaru Ascent has a bit of an edge on the Toyota Highlander. You see, many families have complained that the new Toyota Highlander is incredibly cramped in its rearmost seats, so only smaller children can ride comfortably back there. By comparison ,the new Subaru Ascent has plenty of head and leg room across all three rows. Plus, with more cargo room behind its second row, the new Subaru Ascent is better equipped for shoppers who lead more active lifestyles.
Technology
Both the new Subaru Ascent and Toyota Highlander come equipped with innovative technologies like infotainment systems. However, when you compare the SUBARU STARLINK® Multimedia infotainment system and the Toyota infotainment system, you'll note that there are some clear advantages of the Subaru suite. With a larger infotainment screen, more responsive design, and an intuitive menu structure, the new Subaru Ascent is more sophisticated on the tech front than its rival.
Safety
While there are a whole host of advantages that the new Subaru Ascent has over the Toyota Highlander, both models are on roughly even footing when it comes to safety tech. The Subaru Ascent comes available with Subaru EyeSight™ technology while the new Toyota Highlander comes available with Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5. Both these systems offer innovations like Forward Collision Mitigation, Lane Keeping Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and much more.
