How the 2021 Subaru Ascent Fairs Against the 2021 Chevrolet Traverse
Port Arthur drivers, can we have your attention, please! We have the battle of the brands on our hands. In the left corner, we have the 2021 Subaru Ascent. And in the right corner, we have the 2021 Chevrolet Traverse. Both SUVs have their pros and cons, but we know how this fight will end. The 2021 Subaru Ascent comes out as the winner when it gets put into the ring against its competition.
The Subaru Ascent's Four Distinct Exterior and Interior Features
Both SUVs look pretty similar inside and out because they have the same body type, but that is where the similarities end. The Subaru Ascent has features on the exterior that make it accessible while still being fun. The power rear liftgate opens the trunk with the press of a button, allowing you to open it while you are grabbing boxes to take for donation. This saves you time when you can do multiple things at a time.
The Subaru Ascent offers more access to the world around you than the Chevrolet Traverse. By this, we mean the sunroof that is available on lower trim levels than on its competition. The panoramic sunroof works in two ways. You can remove the blinder that is covering the glass roof to let the sunshine in, or you can take it a step further and move the glass back to open the roof. Opening the roof lets you feel the wind through your hair as you drive down the highway. The ability to have the blinder off without having the glass open lets your back passengers see the stars on night drivers, even if the temperature outside is not conducive to having it open.
ÂInside, two of the main differences are that the Subaru Ascent has an auto-dimming rearview mirror and a rearview camera, while the Chevy Traverse does not. Have you ever been driving at night, and the person behind you has LED headlights? While LED headlights are great for securing visibility, they can get reflected in your rearview mirror and cause your visibility to go down. The auto-dimming rearview mirror darkens when it detects a strong light bouncing off of it. This lessens the amount of light that you then see in your eyesight.
The rearview camera comes in handy when backing out of your garage or parking space. When you back out of a space, you should always look behind and to the sides of you to watch for any oncoming traffic or pedestrians. However, sometimes, there might be an object right behind your vehicle that you cannot see. The rearview camera will catch that object and alert you to it so that you can get out and safely remove it.
The Fun and Convenient Technology on the Subaru Ascent
Elevate your drives to the Parkdale Mall in Beaumont in the Subaru Ascent. While both vehicles have a touchscreen on the dashboard that allows you to play the music you want that is on your phone with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, the Subaru Ascent takes your jam sessions to a whole new level. The standard stereo comes with six speakers, but upgrade that to a 14-speaker audio system to strengthen the bass. Turn your Subaru SUV into a makeshift club with the ambient interior lighting system that has different colors on it to match the mood of the song.
The technology on the Subaru Ascent is also more convenient than the Chevy Traverse technology. The Bluetooth connectivity on the Subaru Ascent allows you to take calls without taking your hands off the steering wheel. And if you have kids, you know that crumbs will find their way in every nook and crevice in the upholstery. The Subaru Ascent makes it easier to get those crumbs and dirt out of your cabin by having an available 120-volt power outlet so that you can have the vacuum right next to you for easier handling.
