2020 Subaru Ascent vs 2020 Chevy Traverse
Serving Harrisonburg, VA
Do you need the practicality of a third row of seats in your new crossover? Both the 2020 Subaru Ascent and the 2020 Chevy Traverse combine this functionality with a great selection of other features. Because these large crossover SUVs are priced in the same ballpark, you need to uncover their standout features before you make your selection.
Exterior
The Subaru Ascent debuted in 2019, so the 2020 model has a stunning exterior design with modern features. Some trim levels now offer a power-operated liftgate and power-folding side mirrors with integrated turning signals. The 2020 Ascent expresses its confidence with a tall yet aerodynamic profile, chrome accents, and lower-body molding across the full trim line. The Chevy Traverse has been around for many years, and the 2020 Traverse is a mid-generation version. Some of the Traverse's exteriors include powered side mirrors, body-colored molding, and a sharp descent through the hood.
Interior
Throughout the Ascent's impressive trim line, you can find a spacious, well-appointed cabin with quality materials. Depending on the trim selected, your 2020 Ascent could come with a wireless hotspot, a rear cross-traffic alert, a push-button ignition, second-row captain's chairs, heated and power-adjusting front seats, a moonroof, and other gear. In the 2020 Chevy Traverse, the leather seats, power moonroof, and power-folding third-row are available as select trims options.
Performance
The base engine in the Traverse is a V6, and the Ascent holds an H-4 engine. On the other hand, the Traverse is available only with front-wheel drive, and it is equipped with a nine-speed auto transmission. The Ascent has all-wheel drive as a standard feature for all trim levels. It can tow up to 5,000 pounds. The Ascent's powertrain is linked to an eight-speed continuously variable transmission with both auto-manual and overdrive features.
