SUVs are a great choice in general when looking for a family vehicle. Having the seating capacity and spaciousness needed for the whole family is a must. The Chevrolet Traverse and Kia Telluride were designed with this in mind, offering seven or eight-passenger seating.

When taking a closer look, the overall interior advantage goes to the Traverse here - thanks to being a larger member of the mid-size SUV class, the Chevrolet Traverse offers both more third-row legroom and superior cargo room (with 98.2 cubic feet, versus 87.0 cubic feet) to make sure everyone and their belongings are comfortable on every adventure.

Since the Traverse and Telluride come with comparable standard safety features, let's look closer at what you can expect.

The Kia Telluride comes standard with the Kia Drive Wise Driver Assist Technology, including safety features like Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (Pedestrian & Cyclist) and Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance, Safe Exit Assist, and more.

The new Chevrolet Traverse comes standard with Chevy Safety Assist, a suite of six advanced safety features including Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, IntelliBeam, and Following Distance Indicator.

Both SUVs take safety very seriously, but when it comes to safety combined with overall comfort, the Chevrolet Traverse is the way to go.
