2020 Subaru Ascent vs. 2021 Hyundai Pallisade
A high-ranking midsize SUV, the 2020 Subaru Ascent comes with a rear seat reminder, which is now a standard for this car. Of course, there are plenty of features to watch out for, including the promise of a large cargo space.
As for the 2021 Hyundai Pallisade, expect refined handling and a comfy ride in tits spacious interior. It is also equipped with a user-friendly infotainment system, plus many standard safety features.
Design & Style
The 2020 Ascent comes with a basic eight-seating configuration, thus making this midsize SUV offer plenty of room for passengers. Owners may also opt to trade the second-row bench for captain’s chairs, thereby reducing the seating capacity to seven. You will also praise it even further for its exquisite interior materials that you commonly find in luxury rides.
Seating up to eight people, the Pallisade’s seats can be traded to a seven-seat configuration without its second-row bench seat. Just opt for the captain’s chairs instead. You will find the first two rows nicely cushioned, with ample legroom and headroom to accommodate the needs of taller passengers. The third row seat is a bit cramped for adults though. The interior has been designed using cloth upholstery.
Technology & Safety
The Ascent comes packed with a long list of tech and safety features. It has a user-friendly infotainment interface, which is regarded for its simplicity and straightforwardness. Its climate and audio controls can be used without any hassles at all. Expect more features-wise with the inclusion of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and multiple USB ports. Safety features include adaptive cruise control, head-up display, automatic emergency braking, pre-collision throttle management, and lane departure and sway warning- all of which are part of its EyeSight driver assistance package. Also standard safety items are rearview camera and rear-seat reminder.
The 2021 Pallisade is fitted with an eight-inch touchscreen for its infotainment system. It has physical buttons which can be used for climate controls. Both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are standard too, and so are five USB ports, Bluetooth, and HD Radio. Standard safety features include a rearview camera, rear parking sensors, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, automatic high-beam headlights, rear seat alert, driver drowsiness monitoring, and lane keep assist.
Performance
The 2020 Subaru Ascent packs power from its four-cylinder, 2.4-liter engine version which produces as much as 260 horsepower. Equipped with a V6, 3.8-liter engine, on the other hand, the Hyundai Pallisade produces up to 292 horsepower.
The Bottom Line
The 2020 Ascent will truly be a great ride for all of you who are looking for a combination of great design, and outstanding performance, coupled with a full set of technology and safety features. This deserves to be your next ride.
