Subaru Ascent VS Ford Explorer:

There is a new 3-row family SUV to take your family on weekend adventures, the Subaru Ascent. No matter where the road may go the Ascent is ready with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, 27 highway mpg., and the ability to tow up to 5,000 lbs. The Ford Explorer, however, isn't nearly as fuel-efficient with its less capable all-wheel-drive system that will cost you extra.

Not only is the Subaru Ascent more fuel-efficient and equally as powerful as the Ford Explorer, but it is also more spacious. The Explorer can only seat up to 7 with 81.7 cubic feet of maximum cargo space. While the Ascent offers seating for up to 8 and 86.5 cubic feet of maximum cargo space.

Standard safety is just one more way that the Subaru Ascent leaves the Ford Explorer behind. EyeSight Driver Assist Technology and Rear-Seat Reminder are standard on every Ascent. Many of the same safety features are only available on select trim levels of the Ford Explorer.

Then the only thing left for you to do will be to come down to Belknap Subaru and get behind the wheel of a new Outback, Legacy or WRX to fully experience everything a new Subaru has to offer. Before we dive into individual model comparisons, we want to highlight all of the ways that Subaru as a whole stands out from the competition.

Subaru Safety:

One of the best reasons for Laconia drivers to get behind the wheel of a new Subaru is safety. When it comes to safety Subaru is top dog with 8 models in their 2019 lineup receiving IIHS Top Safety Pick+ titles and Subaru models consistently receive the highest crash-test ratings; which is excellent. Subaru EyeSight Driver Assist Technology is also among the top-rated safety features on the road today and in a recent study was found to reduce rear-end collision with injuries by 85%. Subaru EyeSight is standard on every Forester, Legacy, Outback, and Ascent and is available on more Crosstrek, Impreza, and WRX models than ever before. Subaru STARLINK Safety & Security is another collection of advanced safety features that every Subaru offers and includes Automatic Collision Notification, SOS Emergency Assist, Enhanced Roadside Assistance, Stolen Vehicle Recovery, and much more.

Subaru safety goes far beyond the latest technology, it starts with the Subaru Global Platform, BOXER engine, and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Together these three components of every Subaru provide Plymouth drivers with confidence behind the wheel. The Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system provides a commanding grip on the road with unmatched stability, traction, and control from supplying and shifting power between all four wheels. While the BOXER engines unique horizontal design and placement provide a low center of gravity. The BOXER engine is also designed to break away from the drive train in the event of a head-on collision and push under the passenger cabin for better occupant protection. The Subaru Global Platform uses extensive high-strength steel for a sturdy frame that absorbs crash energy and protects passengers.
