    Good video. As an owner of a 2021 ascent limited I'm a little disappointed with the following: usb connection is 3rd row still on 1 side and not each side, why? Entertainment is not as exciting as the palisade; new front grill is not a wow factor. The only reason I would upgrade is due to the new eyesight upgrade and improved safety system and awd. Room is small behind 3rd row seat unlike the palisade and the light in the trunk could have been placed higher to better illuminate rhe trunk

      For some reason manufacturers such as Subaru Honda and Toyota ride their reputation and it seems like they dont care about some basic features that are easy to improve. Thanks for watching!

    I like the looks of it a lot. Better than the Outback or Forester. The MPG is a shame though. I have a 2021 Legacy Touring XT with the same engine and while its decent on long highway drives (29-30 MPG), it sucks in town. I know the Ascent would be worse. Shame there isn't a hybrid.

      @MattTheCarguy  Рік тому +1

      Wow, two completely different vehicles. Especially driving experience. Subaru is a lot stiffer but handles better, lexus floats on the road but it is too soft in my opinion. Ascent is more responsive with quicker acceleration. Its also bigger if size is important. Lexus has more luxurious interior. And better gas mileage on 2023. Have you driven both? That would make my decision

    At 24:32 Matt you are INCORRECT my friend!!!! You INCORRECTLY said there are 2 engine options!!!!! Subaru's site plainly and clearly states ONE option for engine. The 2.4 liter turbo. How can NOT know this?!? Sounds like complete lack of knowledge here. You must do your homework before reviewing vehicles.
