Performance Features
General Motors developed an all-new powertrain for the 2024 Chevy Traverse. Laid out in an inline formation, the turbocharged 2.5-liter engine whips out an estimated 328 net horsepower. This four-cylinder engine is expected to deliver 326 pound-feet of torque. Displacing 3.8 L, the 2024 Telluride’s V-6 engine only whips out 291 net hp. This six-cylinder powertrain has an engineered torque limit of 262 lb-ft. You can’t tow more than 5,000 pounds with this three-row Kia SUV. Nevertheless, the Chevy model has the same trailering limit on the entire lineup. This revamped SUV has an all-wheel drive system with twin clutches for better off-road traction. Similarly, the Kia Telluride offers an AWD system with a central differential that locks on demand. You can apply the Snow Mode for this important mechanical component. Likewise, the Chevy model offers the Terrain Mode that optimizes traction on snow, gravel, sand, mud, and other unpaved surfaces. Thanks to an updated suspension with more resilient dampers, you’ll enjoy a more comfortable ride in the 2024 Traverse. Additionally, this SUV from GM has skid plates and the Hill Descent Control for conquering off-road courses.
Technology Features
Chevrolet installs one of its largest multimedia displays inside the 2024 Traverse. This American SUV offers a touch screen that measures 17.7 inches diagonally. You won’t find many competitors in the same class with such a vast infotainment console. By comparison, the 2024 Telluride’s 12.3-inch touchscreen is small. However, this Kia SUV has a 12.3-inch instrument cluster and a 10.0-inch head-up display for alternative visualization. Regarding connectivity, the 2024 Chevy Traverse is fully synced with the comprehensive OnStar suite, which includes access to Wi-Fi and 24/7 advisors. You could add the HD Surround Vision technology to get better views of your surroundings, especially in crowded parking garages and outdoor lots.
Amenity Features
The 2024 Traverse has a total cargo capacity of 98.0 cubic feet per strict standards in the United States. This large Chevy SUV is now available with ergonomic captain’s chairs that stand elegantly in the second row. A power-folding option helps you adjust the third-row seats with little effort. Likewise, the 2024 Telluride offers one-touch controls for the rear seats. Both vehicles offer a climate control system with dedicated zones and electronic controls. A panoramic sunroof with dual glass panels is optional inside the Chevy trim. Similarly, the Kia SUV offers a sliding sunroof above the first row. Holding a maximum of 87 cubic feet, the 2024 Telluride has slightly less appeal for families that carry lots of cargo.
