The Subaru Ascent is the go-to SUV for our Concord drivers who have busy lives. But there are many SUVs out on the market that have a lot in common. This can make the decision on which one to buy a struggle. Below, we evaluate the 2021 Subaru Ascent when compared to some of its peers, including the Toyota Highlander, the Kia Sorento, the Chevrolet Blazer, and the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

The power an engine has on SUVs is just as important as any technology or comfort features. You need to know it will get you around without any issues. All four trim levels on the Subaru Ascent are powered by a turbocharged 2.4L four-cylinder engine that puts out 260 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired with a CVT automatic. All-wheel drive is also standard across the lineup. This torque is bigger than the torque on the standard Toyota Highlander engine. The Toyota Highlander puts out 263 pound-feet of torque. The Subaru Ascent also has one more engine option than the Toyota Highlander.
