Compare the 2025 Traverse and the 2025 Santa Fe

Interior Comparison

The 2025 Chevrolet Traverse is designed for families who need ample space, flexible seating, and premium comfort features. With seating for up to eight and a third row that's spacious enough for adults, it’s a practical choice for larger families. Owners can customize the layout, choosing between second-row captain’s chairs or a bench seat. Standard features like heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat add to the overall comfort.

The 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe delivers a stylish and well-designed interior with available Nappa leather upholstery and an intuitive seating layout. However, its third row is more compact, making it a better fit for smaller passengers. Cargo space maxes out at 79.6 cubic feet, which is practical but falls short of the Traverse’s capacity.

Both SUVs include a hands-free power liftgate for easy access to the cargo area.
