Is the NEW 2022 Chevy Traverse a BETTER midsize SUV than a Kia Telluride?

[@B9M3]

I watch many of your videos, but Joe, if you're going to entitle your videos with a (somewhat click baity question), I think you are obligated to answer the question for your viewers. This video provided a good overview of the new Traverse, but the title question was not answered or even really addressed. Thank you for your consideration. Keep up the great work.

Then watch his review on the Kia and you decide which is better

[@Billn1971]

That decision is for YOU to decide. Everyone's taste & wants are a little different. Not everyone is going to feel the same. Depending on what you need and are looking for in a vehicle. If you are in the market...go check out suvs on your own. It is not Joe's job to tell you what to buy, in the end. He is only updating us on what's new and available.

[@im2fast4u711]

@@curiosityredpill7030 the ones you just mentioned. GM has 4 vehicles in the overall 3 row mid size suv segment. The traverse, the acadia, the enclave and now the xt6. The chevy and gmc directly compete with the vehicles you mentioned while the buick and cadillac would be entry luxury 3 row suv. Imo the telluride and palisade in their top trims could compete in the entry level luxury category but chose to keep them in this segment which is the most popular. It was a smart move on their part and they're a steal at their price. But if you need something larger than the rest, with 3 rows with storage for 3 rows of people and don't want a minivan the traverse can give you that.

Kia's motors are NOT long lived and have terrible reputations with mechanics. The dealerships hire inexperienced techs because they cant hold onto experienced techs. We were thinking of buying the Telluride. Good thing we didn't with many of them cracking windshields and other problems in the products. They look great but luxury and looks wont help you when it doesn't move, unless you become homeless and live in the vehicle. Watch Scotty Kilmer who is a mechanic, not these you tube commercials for the manufacturer masquerading as reviews. They never say very much that is bad. All the vehicles are always show in a positive light. Most cars are designed to fail as soon as the warranty is up. 10,000 mile oil changes, lifetime transmission fluid? Watch your car explode at 60K.

Pay attention www.kiatellurideforums.com/forums/2020-kia-telluride-problems-and-issues.33/ My wife was jonesing for a Telluride but I decided to go for the 4Runner. Not because of luxury which the Telluride looks great but because the Toyota is in the top 10 most dependable, longest lasting and highest resale SUVs out there. No its not new, and that's a good thing. There are zero issues and engineering defects. Many run past 300,000 miles. I doubt many cars other than Honda and Toyota can routinely make that claim. Certainly not Kia. If you want luxury buy the lexus, tough 4wd with luxury. Yea both of these can be costly and used ones are almost as expensive as new for the first 5 years.

"Is the NEW 2022 Chevy Traverse a BETTER midsize SUV than a Kia Telluride?" Simple answer: No, other than being roomier.

I wish they updated the interior though, it looks old to me.

[@inducedapathy1296]

If they did a refresh or mid one since the major styling change like the other makes it'll be another 2-4 years before they redesign it inside and out totally.

[@dallasfrost1996]

I can't stop looking at that badass looking Silverado in the background lol. This Traverse is pretty good, it's so much cleaner looking than previously. Keep up the great videos Joe, as always!

[@tman2damax]

I don’t understand the split headlight/drl trend, like how well do those headlights work when they look like they’re only a foot off the ground? Wonder if they will be worse than the pre-refresh which has them up much higher.

[@bourbon.36]

I agree, I think it's stupid. I also hate how Hyundai/Kia are now also doing the turn signals real low in the bumper on the rear as well. Looks tacky imo, and on the more expensive options, it's just a huge zonk.

[@tman2damax]

@@bourbon.36 It's gotta be a safety concern with those low turn signals as well, very easily obstructed or hard to notice at all when they're that low to the ground, I guess side markers and mirror signals are much more common now so that helps.

[@jamesastwood7466]

I like how the hood struts were a big point, I mean its a chevy you're going to have the hood open alot so I guess its nice

[@alphaares6027]

Let's go GM!!🔥🔥🔥 NOW the front end is looking nice matching with the rear end whooohooo!!!! Thanks for making this video for us JOE!!!

[@mikehamptonsr2342]

The Chevrolet Traverse is No. One in My Book. Its a lot more qualified and much more better running Truck than any of its nearest competition much more dependable. The interior is of high quality in my book

[@camilo8cheryl]

Well, we still went with Telluride SX.. the sporty looks, fewer in the roads, and high resale value plus kia’s warranty👍

[@darkftforce]

nothing beats traverse in a 3 row suv list.......thats the best bang for the buck.........the best triangle........price capacity features!

[@doggedlydetermined7022]

For being newer it still looks outdated to me, but it’s still a nice SUV. Enjoyed the review!

[@Stina956]

I was thinking the same thing

[@eoe6270]

I’ve owned a Toyota Highlander for 13 years. It’s at 193k miles, and we are actively looking at SUV’s to replace it in the near future. Mechanically we only had to change the alternator 3k miles ago. My wife said she likes they way the Traverse looks, so we will add that to our list of test drives. My problem(or opinion) is that for $53k I can get another Highlander, or a 4 runner, or a telluride, all top level trim. Now if I was to sell all 4 mentioned SUV’s 6 years down the road, which one do you think would be worth the least? Bingo, the Traverse. That’s why it should be maxed out at about $45k. I can’t pick a traverse out of a $53k line up of SUV’s because it will be worth less once off the lot. Thank you for your videos, they are much appreciated.

[@thewardexperience7528]

No, Telluride still at the top

[@inducedapathy1296]

telluride and palisade are on the small side. I plan to revisit this segment at the end or beginning of next year but these specific GM mid size suvs can't be beat if you have a large family and want to tow etc. Friend of ours had their telluride service for around 20k in parts motor issues among other things. They seem kind of clunky. Amber DRL is cool but won't make me buy the car. I'll have to test out the new Jeep GC L but yea generally the others leave the third row as an afterthought along with cargo capacity. Think the ford exploder is close on second and third rows but I don't want a cop car.

[@00_UU]

Telluride and Palisade ride cheap and rattle. Test drive both and Traverse/Enclave. GM infotainment is also excellent.

I bought a 2021 Traverse LT in April and honestly it looks the same, same seats, screen, steering wheel, head lights and tail light did change but not really MAJOR changes.

[@user-xf5dj1up8g]

First of all, AWESOME video as always! 😎 Second of all, like every other comment states.. the outside looks amazing! The interior though… mehhhh. If a company truly wants to compete with others you’d THINK that they would put time and money into BOTH the interior and exterior, not just the exterior alone. It blows my mind that Chevy can slap such a high sticker price on this thing with every feature it doesn’t come with! No heads-up-display, no ventilated second row seats, no panoramic sunroof, no front parking sensors. Yikes, I’ll take the new Grand Cherokee please!!

[@bcar1ify]

Yup. Interior is boring. I went with a palisade

Huge Zonk for the unchanged interior

[@flagg1129b]

Thats what I allways dislike about GM vehicles. They are slow to update the interiors to the point the still looked dated compared to other brands

[@99-Zulu]

They don't normally do interior refreshes. That's normally for the redesign or emergency refresh. That or if there is new tech to be added. But don't get me wrong, I'm not in favor of this method. The new Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, and Escalade, all have the new interior design. They should have implemented that interior into the new refreshes. Because it would have brought some fresh design to their aging vehicles.

[@carpetlite22]

Telluride still destroys the competition

[@romeolopez757]

Still Telluride and Palisade nailed it against this Traverse!…

[@mar56cos]

You don’t have to start the vehicle to turn on the electronics inside. Push the start button without stepping on the break. Like turning the key a quarter of the way back on the day.
