Zeigler Subaru Subaru Ascent vs. Honda CR-V
How Does the 2020 Subaru Ascent Compare to the Honda CR-V?
Subaru has been known as a source of versatile SUVs for years now. With the addition of the Subaru Ascent, it built on that reputation with something new: a high-capacity passenger hauler. With plenty of seating, standard all-wheel-drive, and a robust selection of available features, the 2020 Subaru Ascent sets itself apart from the competition.
If you need proof? Just take a look at how the Subaru Ascent compares to the competition. The Honda CR-V, for instance, is one of the most popular models on the road today. When you set it up side by side with a new Subaru Ascent, however, it quickly grows clear which SUV offers you more.
Let's take a look at what both new models have to offer.

What really sets the Subaru Ascent apart, however, is its commitment to rich features. From advanced media options to active safety technology and more, the 2020 Subaru Ascent is equipped to deliver a robust experience, no matter what you're looking for.
