2021 Subaru Ascent vs. 2021 Chevrolet Blazer
Car lovers have their eyes on the Subaru Ascent. This one is gifted with a sturdily constructed body and promises a roomy seating arrangement inside. The trunk area is large enough to accommodate passenger belongings too. It also boasts of a reliable list of technologies.
The 2021 Chevrolet Blazer, on the other hand, offers a range of strong engine options. Expect great fuel economy for this ride as well. Just like the Ascent, it also has a long list of standard technologies, but other features are better in upper trims.
Design & Style
Basically holding 17.8 cubic feet of cargo, the trunk capacity for the 2021 Ascent expands to 86 cubic feet when the last two rows are folded. Inside the cabin, there is abundant headroom and legroom, that guarantees better movement even for taller passengers. Eight occupants will find the ride truly a delight whether taking short or long trips. It is fitted with stain-resistant leather upholstery as a standard, together with a power liftgate at the back.
The 2021 version of the Blazer also has great cargo room at the back, which expands to about 64 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded. All-in-all, the cabin space accommodates five passengers. There is a sloping roofline which can somehow irritate taller passengers during long rides. For comfort, there are supportive seats in front of the ride. The cabin has gray plastics that make it look cheaper than other vehicles in its category.
Technology & Safety
The 2021 Ascent is gifted with the Starlink infotainment system which uses a 6.5-inch touch screen. This easy-to-use interface displays crisp graphics and responds to user inputs without any lags. Physical knobs and buttons are used to access climate and audio adjustments. Other features included are satellite radio, four USB ports, Bluetooth, and six speakers, together with smartphone integration for Android and Apple apps. Safety equipment included in the ride are pre-collision throttle management, adaptive cruise control, lane centering and lane keep assist, forward automatic emergency braking, steering-responsive LED headlights, and automatic high beams.
The Chevy Blazer has the Infotainment 3 system, that is paired with an eight-inch touch screen. While the interface is responsive to user inputs, and displays crisp graphics, placement of physical controls can be distracting for the driver. It has Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, six speakers, and four USB ports. For driver aids, it only carries the rearview camera and Teen Driver feature as standard offerings.
Performance
The 2021 Ascent has a turbocharged four-cylinder, 2.4-liter engine under its hood that rates at 260 horsepower. The Blazer’s main engine is a four-cylinder that gives it 193 horsepower. Even its turbo-four is short when compared to the Ascent since it only spruces 230 horsepower.
The Bottom Line
The 2021 Ascent has great looks and an amazing set of features to match its modern appeal. It also has powerful engines ready to take you to your adventures. This definitely puts the Chevy Blazer behind.
