Compare the Three-Row Chevrolet Traverse to the Competition
Searching for a family-friendly vehicle with three rows and room for all of the people, and all of the cargo, you need to take with you? Let the sales experts at Bill Hood Chevrolet in Covington introduce you to our full lineup of legendary Chevy SUVs, and find the perfect vehicle you've been searching for.
Chevy is known for the amazing performance, quality, and reliability they put into each model they make. The American carmaker has a model lineup that includes several terrific SUV options our customers in Covington, LA love, including the Chevy Traverse.
The Chevy Traverse is a spacious, three-row SUV that can seat up to eight people and carry a maximum of 98.5 cubic feet of cargo. While it should be at the top of your must-test-drive list, we know there are other SUVs from competing carmakers vying for your attention.
Here, we've put together a few comparisons for your convenience, illustrating the ways we've found that our Chevy Traverse offers more to Slidell and Tangipahoa Parish drivers than both the Ford Explorer and the Honda Pilot.
The Chevy Traverse vs. the Ford Explorer.
Engines and Performance
The Chevy Traverse vs. the Ford Explorer. The Traverse is powered by a standard, 310-horsepower V6 engine that drivers will appreciate for its robust acceleration and responsiveness. Meanwhile, the Ford Explorer base models give drivers a choice between two engines, neither of which is as powerful as the Chevy Traverse. In fact, you have to move up several trim levels in the Explorer in order to come close to the same level of power and performance the Traverse gives you right off the bat.
Safety
The Chevy Traverse vs. the Ford Explorer. While both SUVs are designed and built similarly, with very similar lists of standard and available safety features, the Chevy Traverse outshines the Ford Explorer in government crash tests. In testing performed by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the Chevy Traverse received a ranking of "good" in all areas, across the board. Meanwhile, in the same IIHS testing, the Explorer was rated "poor" in passenger-side crash tests and "marginal" in driver's side crash tests.
Interior and Exterior Elements and Features
The Chevy Traverse vs. the Ford Explorer. While the third row seating of the Ford Explorer is cramped and best suited for smaller children, the Chevy Traverse third row is spacious and comfortable for the whole family. Also, on the tech side, every Traverse comes with standard OnStar communications, which gives you 4G LTE and a Wi-Fi hotspot, something that's not available until you move up levels and spend more money in the Explorer.
The Chevy Traverse vs. the Honda Pilot.
Engines and Performance
The Chevy Traverse and the Honda Pilot, Both models come equipped with a nice, standard V6 engine. But, the Traverse engine puts out a nice 310 horsepower, while the Pilot rates just 280 horsepower.
Safety
The Chevy Traverse vs. the Honda Pilot. With the signature "Chevrolet Teen Driver" system standard across the Traverse lineup, this model does more to protect your family than the Honda Pilot. This terrific safety feature, which helps you set speed, radio volume, and other controls for the young drivers in your family, is not available on the Pilot, nor is there a similar safety feature anywhere in the Pilot lineup.
Interior and Exterior Elements and Features
The Chevy Traverse vs. the Honda Pilot. While both of these family-friendly SUVs offer three rows of seating, the Traverse offers more room to stretch out in. It has more legroom in the second and third rows than the Honda Pilot, meaning even your growing teenagers will be comfortable in the Traverse. Also, certain tech features that are standard for the Traverse, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, and OnStar with 4G LTE and Wi-Fi hotspot are either absent from the Pilot list of features, or else are only available on upper trim levels.
