2022 Chevy Traverse vs Hyundai Palisade

Are you in the market for a new family SUV? Maybe you’ve been considering a 2022 Chevrolet Traverse, or possibly a new Hyundai Palisade—but which of these two should you choose? Both are 8-seater family SUVs with plenty of room for people and for gear, but which is better? Read on to find out!

Safety: Traverse Vs. Palisade

Both the Traverse and the Palisade are safe cars, with child safety locks, plenty of airbags, anti-lock brakes, traction control, and more. Both also have plenty of more modern safety tech, such as lane departure warning systems, rear-view cameras, blind spot warning systems, and rear cross-path warnings.

However, in a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration crash test, the Chevy Traverse was found to be safer than the Palisade, with slightly lower neck injury risk in a crash and much lower force on passengers’ legs. The Traverse was also found to be safer in a side impact test by the NHTSA.

Reliability: Palisade Vs. Traverse

When you buy a new SUV, you need something you can trust to carry you and your family on all of your adventures for years to come. J.D. Power and Associates, one of the leading car-reliability testing firms, rated the Traverse second among mid-size SUVs in their 2021 Initial Quality Study, and didn’t rank the Palisade at all.

In addition, while Hyundai might have a better warranty on its new Palisade, there are so many more Chevy dealerships in the country that you won’t have to worry about finding one to fix your car, should you be away from home when a problem hits. All the warranty in the world won’t help you if you’re hours away from a Hyundai dealer!

Power: Palisade Vs. Traverse

While both SUVs are powerful enough, the 2022 Traverse offers up to 310 hp to the Palisade’s 291, as well as 266 lb-ft of torque to the Palisade’s 262. When considered with the Traverse’s 9-speed automatic shifting system, the Chevy has a more powerful and smoother drive than the Hyundai SUV. In addition, the Traverse can tow up to 5,000 pounds—plenty to bring your family’s toys with you on vacation.

Not only is the Traverse more powerful than the Palisade, it has more cargo space, making it easier than ever to fit groceries, kids, dogs, equipment, and more in your SUV. It’s sure to leave you comfortable, no matter the drive.

The Winner: 2022 Chevrolet Traverse

While the Hyundai Palisade is a worthy opponent, Chevrolet just takes the cake on this one. The 2022 Traverse is better in nearly every category.
