Below is a comparison of the different features of the 2023 Subaru Ascent and the 2023 Kia Telluride:

Interior Comparison

The Ascent's interior features an elevated driving position, versatile seating options, and other characteristics typically found in a midsize. This vehicle has room for up to eight passengers and five carry-on bags behind the third row.

The Ascent is a good travel companion thanks to its innovative storage options. For example, there are Velcro straps in the cargo area to support the load floor if you need extra space.

The Telluride has a smaller cargo space behind the third row. It can only hold up to four carry-on luggage. So, if cargo space is important to you, you should choose the Ascent over the Telluride.

The Ascent has most of the popular tech features that customers adore. These include a Wi-Fi hotspot, Android Auto™, and Apple CarPlay®. The 11.6-inch touchscreen is responsive and has large, easy-to-see icons.

The Telluride has a robust infotainment system. Like the Ascent, it also has popular tech features.

Performance Comparison

The Ascent has Subaru's famous all-wheel-drive technology, which makes this car great for road trips with the family. Under the hood is a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with 260 horsepower. This engine is strong enough to pull a speedboat and a camper trailer behind the Ascent.

This vehicle is also relatively fast. It can go from zero to 60 mph in 6.7 seconds. Subaru's continuously variable automatic transmission is also solid and responsive. The Ascent also offers a smooth ride. It's capable of insulating passengers from uneven roads and hard impacts. Its accurate, light steering feels at ease and responds quickly to swift turns.

Powering all Telluride models is a naturally aspirated V6 engine. An eight-speed automatic transmission sends power to either a front-wheel or all-wheel drive system. This big Kia is less responsive to the throttle at low speeds than its turbocharged competitors. The vehicle's ride is quite firm. Rough roads can sometimes cause this Kia SUV to swerve.

Safety Features Comparison

All Ascent models have forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning and lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control. These features are also standard for the Telluride, except for the adaptive cruise control.
