Why are more trims better? Well, who doesn’t love having more options? More options allow you to choose a model that fits you to a T! After all, there’s no settling when it comes to your dream model.
The exterior provides the first impression of a car. To help you stand out from the rest, the Kia offers nine paint options compared to the Chevy’s six paints. Of course, they share several classic colors in common, like shades of white, black, gray, and silver. For drivers who love cherry red, you’ll find a comparable paint option in either model.
The Telluride, however, offers more unique color options, including:
- Dark Moss
- Midnight Lake Blue
- Jungle Green
Plus, the cabin can be equally as colorful. Choose from Gray, Mahogany, Sage Green, and Terracotta upholstery in the Kia! The Traverse only offers Jet Black upholstery.
You love to groove. Why not choose an SUV to match your mojo? Both the Telluride and the Traverse offer a single engine that will help you boogie down all night long.
Under the hood of either SUV, you’ll find a 6-cylinder engine that produces over 260 lb-ft of torque. That much torque on board means you’ll have an easier time climbing steep ascents or towing heavy cargo. Speaking of which, you can tow up to 5,000 pounds with either vehicle!
When it boils down to fuel economy, it’s a game of push and pull for the Telluride and the Traverse.
- Kia Telluride: EPA-estimated 20 city/26 highway MPG rating *
- Chevy Traverse: EPA-estimated 18 city/27 highway MPG rating
Although the Traverse wins out in terms of highway mileage, the Telluride easily takes the cake when it comes to city miles. If your travels take you to the bustling city, you can put the pump on the back burner.
Half the fun of adventure is in the journey, which is why you need an SUV that makes the most of every mile. From standard safety suites to impressive infotainment setups, the Telluride and the Traverse have it all.
The Chevy Traverse starts off strong with a 7-inch touchscreen display that works with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Opt for its available 8-inch display and navigation system, and you’ll be cooking with gas.
What if we told you that you could have the most premium infotainment experience without an upgrade? Plus, all you have to do is choose the Telluride! This SUV sports the same smartphone integration, standard navigation, and a 12.3-inch touchscreen display! Welcome to the lavish life.
The Kia and the Chevy are also rich in safety! Kia Drive Wise and Chevy Safety Assist are the respective standard safety suites on the Telluride and the Traverse, and they share a few features in common, including:
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist w/ Pedestrian, Cyclist, and Junction Turning Detection
- Lane Departure Warning
- Lane Keeping Assist
Despite a few similarities, the Telluride is just getting started. It has 17 standard driver-assistance features, including these unique ones:
- Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go
- Intelligent Speed Limit Assist
- Driver Attention Warning
- Safe Exit Alert
- Highway Driving Assist 1.5
In comparison, Chevy Safety Assist only offers six standard features.
The Telluride and the Traverse put up a good fight for a spot in your driveway. After a closer look at each SUV’s offerings, we believe the configurability, the efficiency, and the advanced technologies of the Kia will transform your DeLand, Deltona, and DeBary, FL commutes.
