Comparison Review

Comfort
The Chevrolet Blazer offers a bit more room for passengers in the back seat than the Subaru Ascent. The Subaru Ascent will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Chevrolet Blazer.

Convenience
The Chevrolet Blazer requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Subaru Ascent, making it more convenient to drive.

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). When looking only at MSRP, the Chevrolet Blazer will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Subaru Ascent.

Dimensions
The Chevrolet Blazer is about the same width as the Subaru Ascent. The Chevrolet Blazer is slightly shorter than the Subaru Ascent, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The Chevrolet Blazer has the same turning radius as the Subaru Ascent, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Chevrolet Blazer has a little less horsepower than the Subaru Ascent.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Chevrolet Blazer does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Subaru Ascent.

Utility
The Chevrolet Blazer has less seating than the Subaru Ascent, making the Subaru Ascent the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The Chevrolet Blazer has less cargo space than the Subaru Ascent, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
