The 2018 Chevrolet Suburban is the ultimate weekend road-trip vehicle ready to haul nine people, their luggage, and even an 8,300 pound trailer. Try that in a crossover.
Pros Upscale interior Strong V-8 engine Superlative towing ability More fuel efficient than you might think
Cons High cargo floor Rides more like a truck than rivals Expensive at every level Throwback looks
Unless you need the Suburban's nine-passenger configuration (which is only available on the base LS model), we recommend going with the midlevel LT trim. It comes with a substantial amount of standard equipment and is a solid pick as is. But we'd suggest getting the Luxury package to add some useful driver safety aids and a power liftgate.
Pros Seating for up to nine passengers Cargo capacity is generous Strong V8 engine can tow and haul plenty of cargo
Cons Maneuvering in tight spaces is challenging High cargo floor means more effort to load objects Lazy gas pedal response makes engine feel weaker than rated
The 2018 Chevrolet Traverse gets a much needed makeover that helps make the big crossover look more premium this time around.
Pros Bolder style More upscale exterior New High Country trim Efficient 9-speed automatic
Cons Cargo room is comparable to last gen How will turbo-4 power work? Where does Tahoe fit? Interior a little bland
We think the LT Cloth with the Convenience and Driver Confidence package (which is standard on the all-wheel-drive version) will give you everything you need. Between the LT's basic upgrades and the option package's suite of useful safety features, the LT Cloth strikes a good balance between cost and livability.
Pros Generous room for passengers in all three rows Feature-rich standard infotainment system
Cons Some safety features only available on top trims
The 2018 Chevrolet Traverse ranked #9 in Midsize SUVs. Currently the Chevrolet Traverse has a score of 8.3 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 12 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.
Pros Roomy, versatile seats Lots of standard tech Spacious cargo area Carlike handling and ride quality
Cons Unexciting driving dynamics
