We were shopping around for a 3rd row SUV. We have 2 boys and my parents, so we needed more room. Our choices, in this order, were: Telluride, Palisades, and Ascent. We ended up loving the 2023 Ascent which we leased in Jan of 22'. We loved that it was the most car like to drive but had the right amount of power for it's size. AWD as a standard feature was a plus. It also had the right amount of accessories and safety features for the prices which was the biggest selling point for us. My only compliments are that there isn't much space behind the 3rd row especially when the seats are leaned back and I am disappointed about the city mileage. I'm only getting 12.0 mpg with an average driving radius of about 1-5 miles. Our longest trip so far was NJ - Toronto and was pretty satisfied with 28mpg, with the best of 32 mpg. Otherwise we are happy with the Ascent and will be looking forward to the next Gen. Hopefully, these issues will be addressed.
