2019 Subaru Ascent vs. 2020 Hyundai Palisade
The 2019 Subaru Ascent is a brand new model from the brand. This one has three rows to accommodate eight people comfortably. It also has plenty of standard safety features in its Eyesight Suite package.
An all-new model that offers a long list of technology and safety features, the 2020 Hyundai Palisade is a worthy opponent of the Ascent. There are a total of three rows of comfortable seats too, ready to accommodate up to eight passengers.
Design & Style
The 2019 Subaru Ascent can seat eight but also has a special configuration to accommodate seven people comfortably. This is through the second-row conversion into captain’s chairs. With this setup, the third row remains to be spacious enough to seat adults. There is a roof rail added to its exterior, plus a dashing center grille to add function to this car. It has also been refined using premium quality materials in the cabin.
Just like the Ascent, the Palisade can be configured to include a second row bench set to accommodate eight, and captain’s chairs to accommodate seven. This has an elegant styling too. Using soft-touch materials, the cabin is indeed a smart design for this ride. Cup holders are also integrated to make it look better.
Technology & Safety
The Subaru Ascent presents plenty of technologies. It has a 6.5-inch touchscreen display for its StarLink infotainment interface. It has a total of four USB ports, a Bluetooth interface, satellite radio, and smartphone integration. Its Eyesight safety suite include lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and pre-collision braking.
The Hyundai Palisade carries contemporary technologies too. Topping the list is the inclusion of dual screens with crisp displays, one that is eight inches in size, and the other 10.25 inches. It supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as well. Standard safety features for this car include forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, lane keep assist, driver attention monitoring, and the Smart Cruise Control (adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability). It also has a rearview camera, and rear parking sensors.
Performance
Giving the 2019 Subaru Ascent 260 horsepower is its four-cylinder, 2.0-liter engine. This is a fuel efficient car which scores 21mpg for city driving and 27mpg for highway driving. The 2020 Hyundai Palisade may score 291 horsepower with its V6, 3.8-liter engine, but it dismays in terms of fuel economy. It rates 19mpg in the city and 26mpg in the highway.
The Bottom Line
The 2020 Palisade may have some of the best technologies in its class, but definitely there are plenty of other things that make the Subaru Ascent stand out. Consider how it has been crafted with the best materials as well as the fuel-efficient and powerful engine under its hood. This one will give your money’s worth.
