The Subaru Ascent lineup is built for areas like Shaker Heights and anyone who likes traveling off the beaten path. Every new Subaru Ascent model comes with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. This system actively sends power to all four wheels and will automatically divert power to the wheels with the most traction if any should start to slip. Because of the system, you'll always enjoy optimal traction, control, and the best possible handling in inclement weather and off-road terrain. The new Honda Pilot lineup comes with standard front-wheel drive, and while all-wheel drive is available on every model, it costs extra.
