2022 Kia Telluride / 2022 Chevy Traverse

2022 Kia Telluride vs. 2022 Chevrolet Traverse 

The 2022 Kia Telluride makes owning a dynamic family SUV a much more accessible opportunity than many other similar brands. Competition like the 2022 Chevrolet Traverse rivals the Telluride when it comes to overall performance. However, the Telluride excels when it comes to giving occupants a sensational everyday ride. The spaciousness of the Telluride makes sure that every occupant of the Kia SUV is given the personal room they deserve to give even the longest journeys a more enjoyable level of comfort. City driving is also more economical in the Kia compared to the Chevy SUV.  

Performance 

Equipped with a standard 3.8L V6 engine, the 2022 Kia Telluride provides substantial performance to easily handle everyday driving needs. With 291 horsepower at the driver's command, going anywhere in mid-Michigan is an enjoyable experience. The eight-speed automatic transmission that is paired with the engine keeps acceleration responsive for quality ride smoothness. The 2022 Chevy Traverse comes equipped with a 3.6L V6 engine that generates 310 horsepower and is paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. Both SUVs come standard with FWD and have available AWD maneuverability if even greater all-weather handling is desired. With 20 MPG city estimates for fuel economy, the Telluride is a more efficient city option than the 18 MPG city estimate in the Traverse.  

Interior Features 

With an incredible 178.1 cubic feet of total passenger space compared to the 157.1 cubic feet found in the 2022 Traverse, the 2022 Kia Telluride is a cavernous SUV that will make sure every occupant is given their own space without interference from the others in the vehicle. Technology present in every 2022 Kia Telluride is also impressive when compared to the Chevy. Among the unique innovations is the Driver Talk system. This allows drivers to communicate with those in the rearmost seating without having to shout. Both SUVs come with loaded infotainment systems that feature plenty of entertainment and convenience applications. These include Bluetooth®, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto for compatible smartphones.  

Safety Features 

In addition to abundant driver-assistance technology, the 2022 Kia Telluride offers something substantial when compared to the 2022 Chevy Traverse. With a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty included with a new 2022 Telluride purchase; customers can be confident that their vehicle is looked after long after their initial purchase. Comparatively, the Chevy only offers a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty on its 2022 Traverse. Every 2022 Telluride comes equipped with a standard Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control-Curve system which is Kia's unique take on Adaptive Cruise Control. Customers looking to find something similar in the Chevy will have to opt for a higher-level trim to get the company's version of the welcome driver-assistance feature.
