Inside
Both
the Ascent and the 2020 Hyundai Palisade in Covington, LA are roomy and comfortable.
Because of its low step-in height and expansive doors, we're giving more points
to the Ascent as far as loading and unloading are concerned. You'll find most
of the expected creature comforts, such as adjustable seats and a touchscreen
infotainment display, on both models, but the Ascent's option list is longer
than that of the Palisade. You'll find available Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
compatibility, as well as a Wi-Fi hotspot. Controls are easy to use, and the
infotainment system is highly responsive.
Powertrain
The
Hyundai Palisade will come with a 291hp, 3.8L V6 and an eight-speed automatic
transmission, while the 2020 Subaru Ascent will likely have the same turbocharged
four-cylinder and CVT found in the 2019 model. The Ascent's engine has plenty
of power for everyday use, and it's quieter than most four-cylinders in its class.
The Palisade's Snow mode will certainly be useful in poor road conditions, but
the Subaru's always-on AWD system sets the benchmark for the entire segment.
Driver Assistance and
Safety Features
The
Palisade is expected to come with numerous active safety features, including
auto emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross traffic alert.
However, Subarus are known for their safety, and the 2020 Subaru Ascent in Covington,
LA will be no exception. You'll get the EyeSight driver assistance
package standard, which includes lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control,
forward collision warning, and rear auto braking, along with other features.
What We Think
While
the 2020 Hyundai Palisade in Covington LA
is a worthy contender, we think the Subaru Ascent is a better buy. It's bigger
and roomier than most of its competitors, and it's ideal for suburban families.
The cabin is comfortable, the ride is smooth, and the Ascent is so versatile
that it's sure to appeal to a large audience. Visit us today to see the Ascent
