The 2025 Chevrolet Traverse and the 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe are two standout options in the competitive midsize SUV segment, both designed to meet the needs of modern drivers. With spacious interiors, advanced technology, and family-friendly features, these SUVs are built for those who need versatility for daily commutes, road trips, and everything in between. Explore our side-by-side comparison, then visit us at Gettel Chevrolet.
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.
