Comparison Review

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the Nissan Kicks is a better financial choice over the Subaru Ascent, when considering MSRP.

Utility
The Nissan Kicks has less seating than the Subaru Ascent, making the Subaru Ascent the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers.
