If you’re looking at three-row SUVs, you have a lot of choices. The 2025 Chevy Traverse and 2025 Kia Telluride are both sound picks. Let’s review the pros and cons of each to see how they stack up.
VS.
The Traverse comes in four trim levels, ranging from the affordable LT model to the pricier RS. The Telluride comes in ten configurations, from the budget-conscious LX to the well-equipped SX Prestige X-Pro. We’ll find most of what these vehicles have to offer somewhere in the middle, so let’s look at the standard features of the 2025 Chevy Traverse Z71 versus the 2025 Kia Telluride EX X-Line.
The Traverse comes with a zippy 2.5L Turbo engine, delivering 328 hp and 326 lb-ft of torque, and a towing capacity of 5,000 lbs. 8-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive adds up to a ton of fun behind the wheel.
The Telluride has a 3.8L V6 engine under the hood for 291 hp, 262 lb-ft torque, and a maximum towing capacity of 5,500 lbs. Featuring 8-speed automatic transmission and AWD, the Telluride is also a practical choice.
Overall, both the Traverse and Telluride are capable performers in most settings.
The Chevy Traverse has an impressive array of safety features. Standard driver-assistance features include an HD Surround Vision camera system, LED reflective windshield collision alert, 3 years of OnStar Remote Access, safety alert seat, rear cross traffic braking, rear park assist, traffic sign recognition, reverse automatic braking, blind zone steering assist, and more.
The Kia Telluride holds its own in terms of safety. The Telluride comes with a driver assist package that includes blind-spot and forward collision warning, rear cross-traffic and forward collision-avoidance assist, lane keeping assist, intelligent speed limit assist, and more.
If you want a welcoming interior with thoughtful features, you’ll probably like the Traverse. Open the doors and you’ll discover an 8-way power-adjustable driver seat, a heated steering wheel, heated front seats, premium cloth trim, wireless phone charger, active noise cancellation, tri-zone automatic climate control, and more. The infotainment system features 6-speaker audio, 17.7-inch advanced color LCD with Google built-in, natural voice recognition and phone integration, and everything you need to feel at home behind the wheel.
Most drivers won’t be disappointed by the Telluride’s interior. With 8-way power-adjustable front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated steering wheel, leather trim, and more, comfort shouldn’t be an issue. 6-speaker audio, 12.3-inch touchscreen, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and more make for a nice enough infotainment setup.
Chevrolet is renowned for stylish, comfortable and capable vehicles. The 2025 Traverse upholds the reputation. The 2025 Kia Telluride is also a well-rounded option. Both are excellent, but in our opinion, the Chevy Traverse wins this matchup.
