Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Chevrolet Traverse than in the Subaru Ascent. The Chevrolet Traverse will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Subaru Ascent.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Chevrolet Traverse is somewhat more expensive than the Subaru Ascent.

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Traverse is much wider than the Subaru Ascent, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Chevrolet Traverse, which is slightly longer than the Subaru Ascent.

Performance
The Chevrolet Traverse has a little more horsepower than the Subaru Ascent.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Chevrolet Traverse transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Subaru Ascent.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Chevrolet Traverse and the Subaru Ascent. With the Chevrolet Traverse, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Subaru Ascent.
