Chevrolet mates this engine to a 9-speed automatic transmission and standard front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is available for every trim but the base.
2021 Toyota Highlander Features & Design
There are a total of six trim levels in the Highlander lineup. The base L trim starts things off with standard features like remote keyless entry, heated mirrors, LED headlights, tri-zone automatic climate control, an 8-inch touchscreen, a power-adjustable driver's seat, a Wi-Fi hotspot, Apple and Android smartphone integration, and Toyota's Safety Sense suite of driver aids. The upper trims quickly build on the L trim with additional features like a power liftgate, heated front seats, a wireless charging pad, a sport-tuned suspension, navigation, leather upholstery, front and rear parking sensors, a premium JBL sound system, a digital rearview mirror, and a 12.3-inch touchscreen.
2021 Chevrolet Traverse Features & Design
There are seven trim levels in the Traverse lineup. Starting the lineup off is the base L trim which comes outfitted with features like triple-zone climate control, automatic headlights, cloth upholstery, alloy-wheels, smartphone integration, a 7-inch touchscreen, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. The upper trims add just a few features each. They include privacy glass, roof rails, heated front seats, rear parking sensors, a power liftgate, remote engine start, an 8-inch touchscreen, a 10-speaker premium sound system, navigation, wireless device charging, and LED headlights.
Conclusion:
Diving deeper into what these two incredibly popular models have to offer showcases the differences with ease. The Toyota Highlander not only offers a great engine with all-wheel drive available for all trim levels but it also comes jam packed with the features your busy family needs on the go. The Chevrolet Traverse put up a good fight but it just cannot compare to what the Highlander can pack in.
