We just purchased a new 2024 Ascent Limited to replace our 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe 3 row SUV that was totalled in an accident.
I was concerned about the 4cyl turbo compared to the V6 in the SantaFe but after driving the Ascent the concern was forgotten completely.
The Ascent has more than enough power, and will fly if pushed to the floor. Gas mileage is about 1mpg less than the SantaFe but the car has no issue handling my driving needs.
The only small issue I have is with engine and tire noise intrusion into the cabin. I understand the 4 might work a little harder but it seems to me that as good as the car is in ride, performance and safety options that Subaru could spend a little more on noise canceling.
