2018 Toyota Highlander
2018 Chevy Traverse
Between the Toyota Highlander vs. Chevy Traverse, which vehicle truly has everything that the modern driver wants? In our SUV comparison, we found that the Toyota Highlander has the better safety scores and performance over the competition!
Safety
Both the Toyota Highlander and Chevy Traverse have standard features like airbag systems and antilock brakes, but which model has the better safety features overall? The Toyota Highlander specs include quite a few high-tech amenities that aren't offered on the Chevy Traverse at all: whiplash injury lessening seats, driver alert monitor, height-adjustable seat belts, and more. In fact, the Highlander was one of the IIHS Top Picks for 2018 - one of only 87 vehicles to get this honor!
Performance
If you want a fuel-efficient SUV for the Elgin area, then the Toyota Highlander specs are the better bet. Comparing the two V6 options with 4-wheel drive, the Toyota Highlander generates up to 20 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. The Traverse falls short with only 17 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. And all Toyota Highlander trim levels utilize regular unleaded gasoline, while higher Traverse trims require premium fuel to optimize fuel economy. That premium price can really add up, mile after mile.
