In the automotive industry, attention comes and goes in waves. One year, it’s one new SUV capturing headlines, and a different one does it the next.
The two family vehicles we’re looking at here have both been through that same cycle. Just a couple of years ago, the Subaru Ascent and Volkswagen Atlas were making serious waves as the first three-row SUVs ever produced by their respective brands.
Today, newer offerings tend to steal the spotlight, and these two don’t get as much attention as they used to. Does that mean they’re not worth consideration? Absolutely not. Each of these vehicles has its merits and drawbacks, and each has its buyers for whom it would be the right fit, possibly even over some of the newer and flashier choices.

People are more concerned with stupid tech than a reliable plain car

@GabrielGonzalez-yh9ex 3 года назад

Testing these cars for what I assume is a Canadian audience and not mentioning Subaru’s excellent full time AWD that comes standard with the car is nuts! I can’t comment on other aspects of these cars, but Subaru’s AWD is amazing in winter driving conditions.

@hermannarminius7746 3 года назад

The Atlas AWD is stellar too, so I assume they didnt bother for that reason. This review was pretty poor. They didnt talk about tow rating or rear seat space/use or anything. Also highest trim vs middle trim, not really competition for each other.

@ericpizarro3084 3 года назад

@@hermannarminius7746 that’s right but, it’s not a standard feature like it is with all Subaru’s (except the BRZ)

@hermannarminius7746 3 года назад

Whoa, that's the review? You never did the interior (rear seat) layouts and sizing. The Atlas has it there big time. I also find it aggravating when they compare high trim vs a lower trim of a competitor. How can you can compare when they are doing apples to oranges. This was not a good review, please do better

@horsesinheaven1364 3 года назад

The V6 Atlas seats lay completely flat and with more inches of space. That’s a must for many.

@radicalscents5 3 года назад

#1 Reason I bought the 2020 Ascent over the Atlas is auto-engine stop start. The 2020 Ascent doesnt have it, and the Atlas required you to manually turn the auto-engine stop/start off every time you start the vehicle.

@rfcdgaf 3 года назад

so u bought the ascent because it didn't have the feature you want, lol

@radicalscents5 3 года назад

@@rfcdgaf No..Im trying to point out that I would have bought the Atlas if not for the ridiculous auto engine stop/start.

@hermannarminius7746 3 года назад

@@radicalscents5 that's still a terrible reason. Just turn it off? The vehicle is still the better vehicle?

What kind of jogging stroller did you put in the Ascent? Thanks!

@christianyanez2449 6 месяцев назад

Funny is most of other reviews of the Atlas say that feels like a big golf, becasue how it handles for the size, but here is stated the opposite.

@mechanicman8687 2 года назад

I’ll take the Subaru any day anyway I bought the 2020 ascent and enjoy it

@Bebopin-69 2 года назад

i own an Ascent. it is a good car in terms of comfort and practicality. BUT it is a catastrophy in terms of powertrain. You dont realize it on a 15min roadtrest. but after a while you do. (you dont control as you should with the throttle. it feels like the ecu is guessing what you want , while it doesnt actually read the throttle input , its just guessing) In my case i feel like smashing all the windows with a 10lbs hammer every time i drive it. fortunately not that often, as it is my wife's. worth noting: the ascent has an almost totally flat cargo if ordered with 2nd row bench not bucket seats.

@snowdays1116 8 месяцев назад

2024 Atlas vs Ascent ...which one? Spend a lot time in the mountains in the winter!

@peopledustcanada 3 года назад

My vote is the Subaru. Superior AWD, low slung boxer engine helps cornering performace, good saferty features, I’d trade up to one from my Crosstrek.

@normt430 3 года назад

The Subaru Ascent was dropped from Consumer Reports recommended list recently due to many quality issues.

@charlescorby6376 3 года назад

@@normt430 That was due to the 2019 brand new model, not enough data yet on the 2020 to recommend

@romaneh24 3 года назад

Did she say that the ascent was one take down from the top of the line premiere at second 39?????? Maybe she meant to say touring I am losing my mind.

@arielspalter7425 2 года назад

In Canada the trim go: Premier > Limited > Touring > Convinence. God knows why having different names for Canada and US.

@rolandwippel4787 2 года назад

All this talk about the Atlas being a much heavier vehicle is nonsense. It is only 6kg heavier than the Ascent. That's a 12 pack of beers.

@takyleung Год назад

Yes. But I bought atlas because it’s the biggest room-my car in this segment. And it’s driving not like big car as well.

@JoeE. 3 года назад

I'll pass on buying if these are my only choices.

@letuspraythen 3 года назад

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Exactly!!!! I am going to take another peek at the Mazda CX-9, Kia Telluride, and Hyundai Palisade

@torintherrien6472 3 года назад

Telluride is top notch but your paying top notch the Subaru offers lots of car for thousands less and vw is brutal servicing everything has to go to the dealership
