A Powerful Trio

The competition is fierce in the midsize SUV category: the American manufacturer Chevrolet stands out with its 2021 Traverse. Two Japanese SUVs also deserve a place in the rankings: the Honda Passport, known for its spaciousness, and the Subaru Outback. The latter has good handling and noteworthy off-road capabilities, just to name a few. It’s also a great vehicle for winter. The same goes for the Honda Passport, which is much more powerful than the Subaru and has a lower than average fuel consumption.

The all-American Chevrolet Traverse stands out with the most capable engine and great stability. Its 3.6-litre V6 engine with 310 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission for smooth shifting. It has a towing capacity of 5,000 lb and all-wheel drive comes standard on all models, providing exemplary handling.

It also stands out from other models with a state-of-the-art infotainment technology package that is intuitive and fun to use. This includes compatibility with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, as well as a built-in 4G LTE wireless hotspot, among others. Many other amenities also make this SUV a popular choice, such as the Smart Slide seats, which provide easy access to the third row.

The Chevrolet Traverse is also known for its spacious interior and generous storage space: it can accommodate up to 8 passengers in its three rows of seats. The trunk can hold up to 651 litres of gear, in addition to the hidden storage space and the room freed up by the folding seats.

On the safety front, the NHTSA has given the Traverse a 5-star safety rating, and there are many effective driver-assist technologies available. In addition to the now-classic ones, such as automatic emergency braking with various obstacle detection, Chevrolet goes one step farther with the Teen Driver Technology. The vehicle is therefore designed for both the seasoned driver who dreams of off-roading and the new driver who’s just learning.

The Traverse is also highly customizable, with a total of 7 different versions, plus different packages and accessories to suit your needs. Distinctive versions such as the RS or the Distinctive Series Edition have the bold look you've been longing for in a vehicle. Equip your car with 20-inch wheels tailored to each model, as well as various distinctive black or black and red accents, and more.

In short, the Subaru Outback and Honda Passport are excellent midsize SUVs, while the 2021 Chevrolet Traverse has a lot to offer. This high-performing SUV has everything to please: a powerful engine, great towing capabilities and storage capacity, comfort, technology and safety!
