2025 Hyundai Palisade vs 2025 Chevy Traverse
2025 Hyundai Palisade vs 2025 Chevy Traverse
The 2025 Hyundai Palisade has a level of refinement, practicality, and technology that puts it in a class above the rest. The 2025 Chevy Traverse is an icon in its own right, but unfortunately leaves much to be desired when stacked up against the Hyundai.
Performance
Buyers wanting a smooth and powerful engine without sacrificing fuel economy will be pleased to find the 2025 Hyundai Palisade comes standard with a 3.8-liter turbocharged 6-cylinder that pumps out 291 pulse-pounding horsepower. This full-size SUV generates 262 pound-feet of torque while delivering an impressive 21 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. An eight-speed automatic transmission is the perfect complement to this engineering masterpiece and glides the Palisade to 60 mph in just 6.4 seconds.
We were surprised to find out that the 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder in the 2025 Traverse does less with more. Despite producing 328 horsepower, it scoots the Chevy to 60 mph in a sluggish 7.3 seconds, significantly slower than the Palisade. What's more, the 2025 Chevy Traverse manages fuel economy ratings of just 19 mpg city and 24 mpg on the highway, which lag the Palisade's 20 mpg and 25 mpg ratings. While the 2025 Traverse matches the Hyundai's transmission at 8 speeds, its operation is not as refined as the Palisade's, leaving much to be desired in terms of driving feel and refinement.
Safety Features
Hyundai's customers have come to expect a full gamut of advanced safety tech as standard equipment, and we're pleased to report the 2025 Palisade does not disappoint. Standard active safety tech includes:● Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go and Curve Control
● Lane Following Assist
● Safe Exit Assist
● Lane Keeping Assist
The 2025 Chevy Traverse, on the other hand, comes standard with passive safety features that have been standard on most Hyundai models for years and are becoming quite commonplace in 2025, such as:
● Automatic Emergency Braking
● Lane Departure Warning
● Adaptive Cruise Control, which unlike the system in the Palisade, is only available at highway speeds
Interior
The 2025 Hyundai Palisade's highly attractive sheet metal gives way to an incredibly spacious cabin that can be configured to seat either 6 (w/Captain'sChairs) or 7 passengers, furthering this SUV's impressive versatility. Once out on the open road, the Palisade's serene and quiet cabin is sure to please the entire family. Available USB-C ports in the 3rd row ensure there's not a bad seat in the house. The front passengers are treated to a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen that handles radio and navigation controls. Looking for a way to cope with those frigid Bedford winters? The Palisade can be started up from the comfort of your home using Amazon Alexa or your Google Assistant.When compared to the effort Hyundai's engineering powerhouse put into thePalisade, the 2025 Traverse simply can't compete. The Palisade's interior does a convincing Range Rover impression, whereas the hard plastics that adorn the cabin of the Traverse make it feel more like an economy car.
Bottom Line
While both these vehicles have good attributes, the 2025 Palisade provides more compelling design, advanced standard equipment, and a nicer cabin, all for a lower base price than the 2025 Chevy Traverse.
