What to Weigh Before Buying

Fuel economy is rated at 20 city MPG and 26 highway MPG. The 2.4-liter flat-four, all-wheel-drive layout, regular unleaded fuel requirement, and continuously variable transmission define the vehicle’s core configuration.
For a direct cost comparison, start with the $40,795 MSRP and add the $1,450 destination charge, while budgeting separately for tax, title, registration, and dealer fees. Buyers considering a Honda Pilot may find the Ascent’s standard configuration and Subaru all-wheel-drive layout worth comparing by purpose rather than by unsupported feature or pricing claims.
