If you’re shopping for a family-friendly three-row SUV, both the 2027 Hyundai Santa Fe and the 2027 Subaru Ascent are likely to rise to the top of your list. While both of these are excellent SUVs, the 2027 Hyundai Santa Fe has numerous advantages, including a stronger engine, greater maximum cargo capacity, and an available hybrid powertrain. The team at MotorWorld Hyundai provides a side-by-side comparison of these two SUVs.
More Horsepower and Torque
The 2027 Hyundai Santa Fe comes standard with a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that cranks out 277 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. While the Subaru Ascent also has a turbocharged engine, its output falls short at 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque. The extra horsepower and torque in the Hyundai SUV is helpful for acceleration and overall drive feel.
Another difference-maker is the fact that the Hyundai Santa Fe also has an available hybrid powertrain. This gives efficiency-focused drivers a great option.
More Cargo Space
Both of these SUVs have ample room for active families. The Hyundai Santa Fe has up to 79.6 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded down. In contrast, the Subaru Ascent falls short at a maximum of 75.6 cubic feet, a difference that can be useful when packing for a weekend road trip.
Automated Parking
Finally, the 2027 Hyundai Santa Fe makes parking a breeze with the available Remote Smart Parking Assist, which can help move the SUV into or out of a parking space while the driver operates the system from outside using the Smart Key. The 2027 Subaru Ascent has a Surround View Monitor but nothing comparable to the Remote Smart Parking Assist.
