Overview
New to the Toyota lineup, the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander is making waves in the three-row SUV market.

So, which should you choose? Compare these spacious SUVs and see which one comes out on top.
Engines and Performance
A turbocharged 2.5L, four-cylinder motor powers all Traverse trims. It's a peppy 328-horsepower engine. For the gas-powered Grand Highlander models, there is a turbocharged 265-horsepower 2.4L four-cylinder motor. However, that base engine is one of three powertrains. A standard hybrid option combines a 2.5L four-cylinder and electric motors for a combined output of 245 horsepower. If you're looking for more power, consider the Hybrid MAX. This impressive turbocharged 2.4L and electric motor combination outshines the Traverse's engine to generate 362 horsepower.
Rear Passenger Comfort
Passenger comfort is always a concern when purchasing a vehicle. Room in the third row is often so limited, but in the Grand Highlander you find a spacious third row. The Toyota Grand Highlander offers enough room to comfortably fit adults, with more third row legroom than the Traverse.
Safety & Technology Features
The Grand Highlander and Traverse are both great options for safety. They include standard safety features such as eight airbags, backup camera, blind-spot monitoring, and lane departure alert. However, the Grand Highlander offers unique features like User Profile Face Identification. There is more impressive tech with the Grand Highlander such as the standard Qi-compatible wireless smartphone charging with charge indicator light. The Traverse has wireless phone charging but as an available feature.
While the Toyota and Chevy are both appealing options for a three-row SUV, the Grand Highlander and the various powertrains, comfortable rear-passenger seating, and standard tech, give it the edge.
