2024 Subaru Outback vs 2024 Subaru Ascent

Serving Fairfax, VA

The two-row Subaru Outback and the three-row Subaru Ascent are well-equipped vehicles that deliver the functionality you need from a crossover SUV with the solid capabilities the brand is recognized for. Often, shoppers at Farrish Subaru are curious about how these two models stack up against each other in essential areas.

Performance

The Subaru Outback for 2024 is available with two engine possibilities. Most trims come with an 182-horsepower, four-cylinder, 2.5-liter engine. However, the XT and Wilderness trims have a 260-horsepower, four-cylinder, turbo 2.4-liter system. Each trim level for both models has a continuously variable transmission and all-wheel drive.

Appearance

The Outback has a tapered profile similar to that of a wagon, but it has raised ground clearance and the spaciousness of a crossover SUV. Its style is defined by athletic body molding that swells over the fenders, door panels, and nose. In addition, the headlights are boldly angled and taper to a point. The grille shows off a unique, staggered design on the mesh. The Ascent is a larger SUV with even body molding over the sides. The molding rises on the nose to draw attention to the headlights. These headlights have a pronged LED ribbon surrounding a circular lamp. The grille is tall and is crossed by a monochromatic accent bar.

Features

Numerous features are shared between the Ascent and the Outback, but specific features are dependent on the trim selected. Some of their shared features are a hands-free liftgate, a Harman Kardon sound system, wireless Apple CarPlay with Android Auto, water-repellant upholstery, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, rear auto braking, heated seats in the first and second rows, a front-view camera, pedestrian detection, a navigation system, a heated steering wheel, and others. The Ascent also has a three-zone climate control system, four USB ports, second-row sunshades, a driver attention monitor, a household power outlet, and other equipment.
