Find Out Why the Chevrolet Traverse is For You When Up Against the Competition

The New Chevy Traverse Vs. The Competition

There's a handful of mid-sized SUVs on the market, and they're all competing for your love and affection. At Schumacher Chevy-Buick of Boonton, the Chevy Traverse waves its Chevy flag with a unique exterior design and rugged appeal you've known and loved. Today, we'll show you how our popular three-row model compares to the Mazda CX-90, Honda Pilot, and Grand Cherokee. Here's your Cliff's Notes at your Chevy dealership near Parsippany.

Exterior Design

Chevy Traverse

The Chevy Traverse will earn you a few style points on the commute. Standard 18-inch Grazen Metallic machined-face aluminum wheels look good, especially when matched with colors like Radiant Red, Sterling Gray, or Mosaic Black. The available 22-inch high gloss Black Painted wheels on the RS or High Country are intimidating, while trim-specific badging, accents, and off-road features complete the aggressive look from front to back.

Grand Cherokee

The Jeep Cherokee's signature seven-slot grille is iconic and makes no mistake in regard to what it is—and what to expect. The Grand Cherokee also provides 18-inch wheels on entry-level models, but upgrading to the 20-inch wheels adds another layer of aggression. The dark front bumper is standard across all trims, along with LED lighting and various wheel designs. It all meshes well with one of several colors. It's not a bad runner-up in the world of midsize SUVs.

Honda Pilot

The Honda Pilot took one look at the Chevy Traverse and decided to change its appearance. Instead of the classic, buttoned-up presentation, the Pilot opts for a more rugged appearance. From the deep, dark front grille to the available 20-inch wheels, the Honda Pilot is ready to compete with the likes of the Chevy Traverse. However, it has a lot of ground to make up.

Mazda CX-90

The Mazda CX-90 has no desire to keep up with the current styling trends. The brand continues with its minimalist approach that, quite honestly, looks great but lacks the aggressive approach of the other three models. Smooth, contoured character lines and charismatic LED lights mark the simplistic nature of the Mazda CX-90. However, 21-inch wheels are available, but that's the most aggression you'll find for the Mazda CX-90.

Interior Design

Chevy Traverse

The Traverse makes room for up to eight passengers or as few as seven. It all depends on whether you choose second-row captain's chairs or a second-row bench. Cloth upholstery clothes the entry-level models. However, higher trims like the Z71 and RS feature Jet Black perforated leather or Evotex seats with torch red accents. You'll also have the best-in-class 98 cubic feet of space in Dover, NJ, whenever you need it.

Grand Cherokee

The Cherokee makes room for five inside the cabin. Cloth seats are standard, with available upgrades like leather upholstery unlocked in higher trims. With the second row folded, drivers will have up to 68.3 cubic feet of cargo room.

Honda Pilot

The Honda Pilot accommodates up to eight passengers with versatile cabin arrangements. Choose second-row captain's chairs or a bench setup to accommodate the family best. The smaller third row is perfect for elementary-aged children or young teens with just 32.5 inches of legroom, while Max cargo room expands to 87 cubic feet with both rows folded.

Mazda CX-90

The Mazda CX-90 will fit up to eight inside its cabin with a similar captain's chairs/bench setup as two of the other three models. The CX-90 prioritizes luxury, which explains the higher price point across the trim levels. Entry-level models feature leatherette seats, while higher trims offer premium Nappa leather seats. Further niceties, like heated second-row seats and ventilated front seats, are nice, but pricey additions. All trims reach up to 75.2 cubic feet of cargo room.
