When it comes to SUVs it’s all about finding a vehicle that knows how to adapt. If you are comparing the 2019 Chevy Traverse vs 2019 Toyota Highlander, then both are all about being flexible and balanced. This does not mean that both are created equal when it comes down to what they can and can’t handle.
The 2019 Chevy Traverse is a model every driver can enjoy with its everyday utility and well-rounded performance output. Those looking to work and those looking to play will both find their perfect home on the road in the 2019 Traverse. When it comes to going with the flow from everyday commutes to work to the exciting family vacation to the shore, drivers will not be disappointed in how the 2019 Traverse provides for them.
The 2019 Toyota Highlander is striking by design and adventurous at its soul, and any driver would feel safe and secure within its cabin. While its looks clearly display a fire within, this may have been a mistake considering it is no fiercer than others in its class when it comes to performance and passion for adventure. Overall its looks and potential may be enough to satisfy most drivers, but a big fear for this model is that the style and marketing don’t match what it can truly deliver when compared to others in its class.
While both models have their charm, the 2019 Chevy Traverse manages to match or overshadow the 2019 Toyota Highlander in nearly every category that drivers find most important when choosing their next vehicle. The 2019 Traverse has a lower price point, a higher horsepower, torque, and more space and utility, while still matching the 2019 Highlander in fuel efficiency, towing potential, and features available. The main difference between the two is that the 2019 Traverse attempts to cater to the needs of the everyday driver by maintaining a quality level of balance in every category, while the 2019 Highlander desires to play on a drivers desire to be more adventurous without truly showing anything that makes it more proficient than others in its class. As always there is no wrong choice when picking between two brilliant and balanced models, but if you want something that’s more practical overall, go with the 2019 Chevy Traverse.
Built with family in mind, the 2019 Chevy Traverse is the picture-perfect model of a balanced three-row utility vehicle with sleek and clean looks and plenty of space and power. Measuring to be exactly 204″ L x 79″ W x 71″ H, the 2019 Traverse manages to accommodate up to eight lucky passengers while still having 23 cu.ft. of cargo space for all the things they bring with them. Sometimes you don’t need seating for eight, and so the 2019 Traverse gives drivers the freedom to arrange the rear space however they want with up to 98 cu.ft. of possible cargo space for items of every shape and size or for the people you care for. There are also smaller cargo spaces throughout the cabin as well as an under the floor space for items that need to stay hidden and secure. So whether you are taking on an epic DIY project, or preparing to take a long family vacation, this is a ride that is always prepared.
The 2019 Toyota Highlander measures to be 193″ L x 76″ W x 68″ H and seats eight passengers with 13 cu.ft. of cargo space left over. When all the seats easily and conveniently folded down the max cargo space available is 83.7 cu.ft which is significantly less than the 2019 Traverse. Just like the Traverse though, this model has other storage options throughout the cabin. As far as flexibility goes this model is fairly typical when it comes to the ease of accessing the space available as well as the overall comfort of the passengers.
The 2019 Chevy Traverse is a straightforward, reliable, and spacious everyday SUV for the everyday family. Chevy has always been one of the leading manufacturers when it comes to understanding the need of the everyday driver, and the 2019 Traverse is one of the best examples of that. The main way this model shows its appreciation to everyday drivers is by being balanced in every category that matters, from affordability to performance. Another way it is geared towards the average driver is by being convenient enough to fit seamlessly into every lifestyle. This is not to imply that the 2019 Traverse is boring though, because the clean and crisp design it portrays is supported by bold features that stand out in all the best ways. Basically, this is a model with a ton of mass appeal, which means its audience is practically anyone who needs plenty of room in their daily life on the road.
Many would imply that the 2019 Toyota Highlander is more so marketed towards those seeking adventure than those with carrying around their families, but considering it still manages to seat up to eight people there is no question it can manage both. The 2019 Highlander, by looks alone, is clearly attempting to present itself as a bold machine with its large grille and sharp lights, but it’s hard to say if the image matches the potential. As far as who would enjoy getting beyond the wheel of a 2019 Highlander, the best answer is anyone who cares about looking powerful and have just enough power to turn an outing into an exciting journey they will never forget.
The 2019 Chevy Traverse offers two engine options, but the most commonly used is the 3.6 V6 engine. This option comes standard with nearly every 2019 Traverse and offers more than enough power to handle this big, bold, and beautiful vehicle. The 3.6L V6 produces 310 hp and 266 lb-ft of torque that is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission and can manage up to 5,000 pounds of towing potential. Many would think a vehicle like those would have a weak EPA rating but at 27 MPG highway for the FWD model, it’s actually fairly eco-friendly when you consider others in its class. This model also comes in a 4WD model that has integrated technology in order to ensure you can handle any road condition and change drive modes with as little effort as possible.
Another option is a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine with 255 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque that is also paired with a 9-speed auto transmission. This engine is only available with the RS FWD and also includes variable valve timing, direct fuel injection, and stop/start technology.
The 2019 Toyota Highlander offers three engine options that are sure to impress any driver, but do not reach the 2019 Traverse at its best. The first engine is a 2.7L 4-cylinder engine that produces 185 hp and 184 lb-ft ft of torque and is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. For those not on a budget, the second engine option is a 3.5L V6 engine with 285 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque and is paired with an 8-speed auto transmission. Finally, there is a 3.5L V6 with AC 650-volt permanent-magnet motors that produces 306 hp. None of these engines will let you down, it all just depends on how much you are willing to spend, and how much power you truly need on a regular basis.
