Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Chevrolet Traverse than in the Kia EV6. The Chevrolet Traverse will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Kia EV6.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the Chevrolet Traverse is a better financial choice over the Kia EV6, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Traverse is much wider than the Kia EV6, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Chevrolet Traverse, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Kia EV6.

Performance
In terms of horsepower, it's a virtual tie between the Chevrolet Traverse and the Kia EV6.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Chevrolet Traverse does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Kia EV6.

Soccer Moms and those who need to chauffeur around a lot of people will appreciate the Chevrolet Traverse more than the Kia EV6, due to its significantly greater seating capacity. With the Chevrolet Traverse, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Kia EV6.
