You spend a lot of time in your SUV.

The 2022 Chevy Traverse is also a spacious three-row SUV, but it’s not as nice as the Sorento. Read the comparison below to see why.

The new Chevy Traverse only gets 18 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway with its most efficient configuration.
Maneuvering through narrow streets and crowded parking lots in Dover, VT is easier with the new Kia Sorento than it is with the new Chevy Traverse.
