If this were a boxing match, it would certainly be for the heavy-weight champion's belt as both cars and trucks are substantial in almost every aspect. Designed with the American customer in mind these SUVs are anything yet regretful when it pertains to their general commanding visibility and also area they use up to be provided to their passengers. It's Goliath Vs Goliath, and also the race will have a photo-finish.
We somehow really feel depressing that this could have been the ideal cars and truck, yet misses the mark on account of two things. It's the interior appearance as well as feel that's means extra premium than the auto's rate tag.
Making this model attract attention are likewise the countless safety and security features that come as conventional, like the forward collision caution, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian discovery, lane-departing warning, lane-keep aid, a rearview cam as well as flexible cruise control.
Toyota is well known for being a sector leader in regards to innovative safety and security options provided as conventional, and also we see that on full display in the Highlander. Another huge plus is the effective V6 engine, but this is where we begin to expose the downsides, as you'll only get this engine with an upgrade. The 4 cylinder that furnishes the conventional design isn't anywhere near sufficient for the substantial SUV, and it's really felt while driving.
An excellent flight, but just at an added cost. The 2nd crappy quality of the Toyota is the room for the third row. It's most definitely not grown-up friendly, and if you're going to try to find lots of area from your SUV, this design won't provide.
The Chevrolet Traverse, on the other hand, boosts three Ideal In Class features when it pertains to the area it provides for its passengers and also those are Ideal In Class Overall Guest Quantity, Best In Course Third-Row Leg Room and also Ideal In Class Maximum Cargo Space.
It is American made after all ... It also has one of the best and also most user-friendly infotainment systems, with features like Apple CarPlay and also Android Automobile as basic. The base model additionally really feels much better when driving compared to the common 4-cylinder from Toyota, also as it gives comparable numbers at miles per gallon it will enable.
The Traverse likewise makes for a comfortable and also peaceful trip as the cabin will shut out a lot of the wind and also roadway sounds created while driving.
The price are similar for basic versions, so it comes down to choosing in between more area, more power and user-friendly tech from the Chevy Vs Toyota's impressive security functions and above-price looking interior. It's a matter of your own needs, but if you fix a limit, we think the Traverse edges out the Highlander by a small margin.
