With so much to do and so many places to go, you need an SUV with an efficient performance. How do the Highlander and the Traverse fare in fuel economy? Keep reading to find out.
The Chevy Traverse yields an EPA-estimated 18 city/27 highway MPG, enabling you to go a respectable distance before stopping to refuel. However, the Toyota Highlander bests that with its EPA-estimated 22 city/29 highway MPG, enabling you to travel farther between pit stops.*
Do you dream of going green? The Highlander Hybrid is even more efficient with up to an EPA-estimated 36 city/35 highway MPG*.?Going hybrid allows you to stay away from the pump longer; plus, they’re reliable road trip companions!
The Traverse, on the other hand, lacks a hybrid option, so it can’t compete with the Toyota SUV in this area.
You and your family deserve a safer way to drive. Luckily, the Toyota Highlander and the Chevrolet Traverse are both aboard the safety train! Each one comes standard with a suite of driver-assist features to respond to your surroundings and help keep you out of harm’s way.
Coming standard on both the Highlander and the Traverse is a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection. This feature measures the distance between your car and frontal obstacles, letting you know when you’re following too closely. In certain situations, it will even apply the brakes to help avoid a collision entirely.
Another standard feature you’ll find on the Highlander is Road Sign Assist. It intelligently reads the road to alert you to detected Do Not Enter, speed, yield, and stop signs.
Unfortunately, the Traverse doesn’t offer a comparable feature, so you may miss out on important driving information on the bustling roadway.
