2018 Toyota Sienna vs. 2018 Chevy Traverse

Where minivans once freely roamed, crossover SUVs have largely supplanted them. However, Toyota isn't ready to say the game is over just yet. The automaker's lone entry in the minivan class remains one of the best available and is more than a match for even the largest and most capable crossover SUVs currently available. A brief comparison of the 2018 Toyota Sienna vs. 2018 Chevy Traverse clearly shows why buyers needing a capable, spacious and comfortable large vehicle would do well to consider the Toyota minivan. In short, the 2018 Toyota Sienna has more seating capacity than the 2018 Travers; more available cargo space and does a very good job of balancing outright performance and fuel economy.

For the new model year, Toyota has done the work of making the 2018 Sienna even safer for families. This additional peace of mind comes with the inclusion of the company's highly-regarded Toyota Safety Sense P suite of active sensors across each of the primary trim grades of the 2018 Toyota Sienna. Drivers will have universal access to systems that can automatically stop the Sienna if a pedestrian unexpectedly steps into it path as well as warn the driver if they are in danger of drifting out of their intended lane of travel. The 2018 Chevy Traverse offers many similar systems, but they are not as widely available as what the 2018 Sienna has as standard equipment.
