2020 Subaru Ascent vs. 2020 Nissan Murano
Looking into the list of features of the 2020 Subaru Ascent, you know that it deserves to be among the top-ranking midsize SUVs in the market. It has new features to offer, the most notable of which is the addition of the standard rear seat reminder. Also, you will find this ride comfortable without sacrificing the large cargo space that you need.
Having a plush and roomy cabin, the 2020 Nissan Murano is also one of those midsize SUVs that you may think of buying. It has the same intuitive infotainment system as before. Note, however, that there are no major changes for this ride, plus the interior styling is quite dated when compared to its rivals.
Design & Style
The 2020 Ascent is one comfortable ride that can accommodate up to eight passengers. Its generous cabin room can also be configured to seat seven, that is, by trading the second-row bench with a captain’s chair. You will also be amazed by the interior materials that add to its quality and elegance as a midsize SUV.
While the Murano is also a midsize SUV, this car only comes with two rows to seat five people comfortably. It highlights the Zero Gravity seats, but sadly this is not experienced with its middle seat. Coming standard with a cloth upholstery, you will find faux wood combined with its soft touch surfaces. It lacks the modernity that rivals offer.
Technology & Safety
The Ascent is definitely one ride that oozes with plenty of remarkable technology features. Apart from its straightforward and easy-to-use infotainment system, it also takes pride in its climate and audio control. It pairs well with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Safety wise, you will appreciate its rearview camera, head-up display, pre-collision throttle management, automatic emergency braking, lane departure and sway warning, and adaptive cruise control.
Carrying the NissanConnect infotainment system which is paired with an eight-inch touch screen display, the 2020 Murano also integrates Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. It also comes fitted with six speakers, Bluetooth, satellite radio, four USB ports, and voice recognition. Safety wise, automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, rear seat reminder, rearview camera, and driver drowsiness monitoring are standard.
Performance
The 2020 Subaru Ascent takes pride of its 260-horsepower performance. This is thanks to its four-cylinder, 2.4 engine version. The Murano gets the same ratings as well, but only because it has a V6, 3.5-liter engine. You will find it hard accelerating again from a stop once you step on the brakes of this Nissan SUV.
The Bottom Line
This comparison shows the many similarities and differences between the Ascent and the Murano. Notably, the Ascent is way better than its Nissan counterpart – considering all aspects reviewed above.
