2022 Ford Explorer VS 2022 Traverse In Thomasville

2022 Ford Explorer vs. 2022 Chevrolet Traverse In Thomasville, GA

If you’re searching for your next family vehicle you may be having a hard time narrowing your options. The SUV and crossover segments continue to grow every model year with varying combinations of space, power, technology, and safety features.

The 2022 Ford Explorer and the 2022 Chevrolet Traverse have comparable amounts of each aspect and nearly identical starting prices. With such similarities, it can be difficult to choose between the two. So, we’re outlining their offerings to help you decide.

Explorer vs Traverse: Space And Handling

The Chevy Traverse is huge, there is no doubt about that. And if you have a family large enough for the lack of an eighth seat to be a deal-breaker its bulky size might be worth it. However, if seven seats would suffice, forego the hassle of squeezing all that bulk into a parking spot and opt for the Ford Explorer.

The Explorer has room for up to seven passengers, a total of 87.8 cubic feet of cargo space, and is more maneuverable than the hulking Traverse.

Explorer vs Traverse: Power And Performance

The Chevy Traverse has only one engine option, a 3.6-liter V6 engine that produces 310-horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque. At first glance, the standard engine in the Traverse seems to outpower the engine in the base model Explorer. But with a closer look, savvy buyers will realize that the Explorer’s 300-horsepower 2.3-liter four-cylinder has more torque (310 pound-feet) which allows it to accelerate faster and tow more than the Traverse.

The Explorer also has a more powerful engine option – a 3.0-liter V6 that generates 400-horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque.

Explorer vs Traverse: Infotainment And Technology

Starting with the Explorer’s 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system versus the Traverse’s 7-inch system, Ford does a better job of outfitting its interior cabin with the latest in technology. While both SUVs have features like Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto, and a Wi-Fi hotspot, the Explorer line-up goes the extra mile and includes available features such as:

10.1-inch touchscreen upgrade

12.3-inch digital gauge cluster

12-speaker Bang & Olufsen stereo

A rear-seat entertainment system

Explorer vs Traverse: Safety And Driver Assistance

To keep families safe on the road both the Traverse and the Explorer pack a lot of safety and driver assistance features into their lineup and available options. They both offer teen driving features, rearview cameras, and automatic braking in their lists of standard features. However, the Explorer also includes rear parking sensors, driver attention monitoring, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert.
