2020 Subaru Ascent vs. 2020 Volkswagen Atlas

Handsome from the inside to the outside, you will truly be impressed with the 2020 Subaru Ascent. Add to that the fact that it has a roomy cabin, gifted with up to an eight-seating capacity. The large cargo area is ready to carry your belongings too.

The 2020 Volkswagen Atlas debuts the two-row Atlas Cross Sport. There is also enough space in every row for this ride. The user-friendly infotainment system is a must-experience as well.

Design & Style

The 2020 Subaru Ascent is gifted with the second-row bench seat that allows it to accommodate eight passengers of all ages, shapes, and sizes. If you happen to opt for the second row’s captain chairs, the configuration will be reduced to seven. For the cabin construction, you will find no less than the best quality materials out there, thus making the midsize SUV adorably handsome all throughout.

The 2020 Atlas seats up to seven people in its base configuration. This number reduces to five for its Atlas Cross Sport version. There is generous headroom and legroom in its insulated cabin. It also boasts of premium quality materials inside, but that does not compare to what the Ascent can offer.

Technology & Safety

Loaded with great technologies, the 2020 Ascent is one of those entertaining cars that you will ever enjoy. It is fitted with a reliable infotainment system, whose functions are made even better by the easy-to-use buttons that it has been equipped with. It also has multiple USB ports, as well as supports smartphone integration via Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Safety features for the car are embodied in its EyeSight driver assistance package. This includes safety aids like pre-collision throttle management, head0up display, lane departure and sway warning, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking. Rear-seat reminder and rearview camera are standard as well.

The Volkswagen Atlas uses the Mirror Link, 6.5-inch touchscreen, Android Auto, Apple Carplay, USB port, and Bluetooth to entertain passengers. There is also the Car-Net service that can be used with the Wi-Fi hot spot in the SUV. Safety wise, it has the rearview camera, a post-collision braking system, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, forward collision warning, and automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection.

Performance

The 2020 Subaru Ascent reaches 260 horsepower with its 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engine. Meanwhile, the Atlas uses the four-cylinder, 2.0-liter engine to reach up to 235 horsepower in terms of results.

The Bottom Line

The 2020 Ascent knows how to impress in the different aspects mentioned above. It is remarkable when it comes to design, and also has great technologies to boast to its users. It has a great engine too.
