2019 Subaru Ascent vs. 2019 Kia Sorento
A brand new model offering that wide cargo capacity, the 2019 Subaru Ascent is among the favorites of many modern car lovers out there. This midsize SUV has plenty to offer in terms of advanced features too.
With new driver assistance features, and an updated styling, there is also a lot to expect in the 2019 Kia Sorento. Seating up to seven people, this one is indeed a good ride.
Design & Style
The 2019 Subaru Ascent has been noted to offer a huge seating space that can accommodate up to eight people, but if you opt for captain chairs, the ride will suit up to seven instead. The well designed car center grille adds a touch of handsomeness to its exterior. There is a roof rail to define sportiness too. The cabin uses modern and premium quality materials.
Offering an exquisite and sporty ride on the outside, the 2019 Kia Sorento lands top marks too when it comes to design and style. It has three rows of seat that can accommodate up to seven passengers. However, only the first two rows offer comfort, leaving the third row to kids instead of accommodating adults.
Technology & Safety
Topping the list of technologies for the Ascent is its StarLink infotainment system which comes fitted with a reliable 6.5-inch touchscreen display. It also features a Bluetooth interface, satellite radio, and four USB ports. It also supports smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. For your safety, you can count on its EyeSight safety suite, which includes features such as adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, pre-collision braking, and a rearview camera.
As for the Sorento, it includes a Bluetooth, a USB port, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, a six-speaker audio system, and the seven-inch touchscreen for its UVO infotainment system. The only standard safety feature for this ride is the rearview camera, no more, no less.
Performance
The 2019 Subaru Ascent uses a four-cylinder, 2.0-liter engine, which gives results of up to 260 horsepower. In the case of the Sorento, its four-cylinder, 2.0-liter engine configuration manages to give it only up to 185 horsepower.
The Bottom Line
The 2019 Subaru Ascent is with no doubt one of those midsize SUVs that deserve your attention. This car is gifted with plenty of great attributes in terms of design and style. Add to that, it defeats the Sorento most especially in the list of standard safety features that it offers. It also gives the Kia a hard time with its powerful engine performance. The Ascent deserves to be your next car.
