Choosing the right family SUV can be a daunting task, but with top contenders like the 2024 Chevrolet Traverse and the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander, you're already on the right path. Boasting great features and capabilities, which one stands out? Let's go to a detailed comparison so you can decide for yourself.
The 2024 Chevrolet Traverse features a high-powered 3.6-liter V6 engine that makes 310 horsepower. A 9-speed automatic transmission seamlessly harnesses and efficiently applies the power. It is further equipped with an all-wheel-drive system for the driver to exert better control on the roads when driving around busy city streets or cruising serenely on highways. The Traverse also provides towing capacities of up to 5,000 pounds to handle just about any adventure.
Where the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander differs is with the availability of two powertrains: a 2.5-liter four-cylinder or an optional 3.5-liter V6. This larger unit is assisted by an 8-speed automatic and AWD for optimal performance. That makes the tow rating equal that of the Traverse at 5,000 pounds, but the base engine provides substantially less horsepower, which could leave some drivers wanting more.
Traverse is popular for offering up to eight people accommodation comfortably, where every other person has his or her adequate room while traveling. High-quality materials and premium finishes in the interior give a luxurious feel. An advanced infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, ensuring connectivity and entertainment while on the go.
Besides, up to 98.2 cubic feet of cargo capacity with all seats down, the Traverse is ideal for family trips and trekking large items.
Toyota Grand Highlander: Convenient and Comfortable
All these sit in a Grand Highlander with eight-passenger seating and the same quality materials as the Traverse, albeit without the boast of premium materials. In contrast to the Traverse, it has even more compatibility through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration for its 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system. The vehicle has less cargo space at a maximum of 84.3 cubic feet, which places it slightly below the ideal level for a person with a larger family or those intending an extended road trip.
Safety is a key concern on the Chevrolet Traverse—it comes equipped with a full set of normal safety options: forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and lane-keeping assist. The Traverse also scores well in the judgment of industry experts for its overall reliability—another feature that enhances its appeal as a trusted family vehicle.
Second to the Traverse is the Grand Highlander in safety, boasting features close to those of the Traverse, which include adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, and automatic high beams. It has highly rated reliability—however, it ranks only slightly lower than the Traverse due to the extra added technologies in driver assistance.
Chevrolet Traverse: Traverse generates more horsepower with the V6 engine and makes for an exhilarating drive.
