2020 Subaru Ascent vs 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Serving Harrisonburg, VA
As you search for your next SUV, the Jeep Grand Cherokee may garner your immediate attention. The Grand Cherokee has a decades-long history and a solid reputation for delivering exceptional performance. However, before you lock in your purchase plans, you need to check out some of the other top-notch options today. The 2020 Subaru Ascent is one of the newest models currently in the midsize crossover SUV class. With an extra row of seats in the cabin, many modern features, and a slightly lower price tag than the Explorer, you must carefully compare the Ascent to the Grand Cherokee.
Exterior
Because the Subaru Ascent has only been on the road for two years, it carries relentless appeal through its contemporary, confident exterior design. The hood's smoothness is broken up by a powerful accent that runs straight down into the chrome-accented grille. This grille has a hexagon shape and sits between LED headlights and foglamps. The Ascent also has significant ground clearance, dual exhaust tips, a spoiler over the power liftgate, black lower-body cladding, raised roof rails, and powered mirrors with heat. On the other hand, the Jeep Grand Cherokee continues to be a part of a generation that launched almost a decade ago. While some aspects of the exterior have been refined over the last few years, the Grand Cherokee continues to have the same bar-style grille, defined wheel fenders, and molded sides as drivers have grown accustomed to.
Interior
The most crucial difference between the cabins of the Ascent and the Grand Cherokee is in the seating capacity. The Ascent has a third row of seats with leather material in many trims. Because the second and third rows can fold down as desired, the Ascent has superior functionality. The interior of the Ascent is notably modern and easy on the eyes thanks to seamless flow from the top of the center stack and through the console. The Ascent's features include everything from wireless device charging and USB ports to a heated steering wheel, smart device integration, and more. The Grand Cherokee is a two-row SUV with several interior color possibilities. The center stack and console have a similar flow, but the infotainment system's screen and the climate control features are individually outlined to create a more fractured look.
Safety
The 2020 Subaru Ascent excels in its ability to protect you and your passengers. Its high-strength steel body is integrated with numerous advanced airbags and EyeSight tech on all trim levels. This assistive technology gives you advanced cruise control capabilities, accident avoidance functionality, and more. The 2020 Grand Cherokee's assistive safety features are progressively advanced across the trim levels. To benefit from all of the available technologies, you will need to purchase the Limited trim level or higher.
