The New Chevy Traverse Vs. The Mazda CX-90
In the world of midsize three-row SUVs, the Chevy Traverse will always attract attention. Its ground-shaking exterior design makes you proud to be in the driver's seat, while the interior makes every commute better than the last. Let's see how the Chevy Traverse compares to the new Mazda CX-90, one of its leading competitors in the segment.


Exterior Design and Visual Appeal

Chevy Traverse
The Chevy Traverse offers one of several Metallic colors, standard 18-inch wheels, and a dark black grille that screams aggression as you ride through Paramus. Climbing to a higher trim or adding an RS package will include 22-inch wheels, all-terrain tires, signature badging, LED headlamps, and more.
Mazda CX-90
The Mazda CX-90 is a laid-back SUV with subtle cues that keep attention to a minimum. If drivers want a sporty Mazda CX-90, Piano Black and Dark Chrome accents will highlight the exterior design cues. With up to seven Metallic paint options and available 21-inch wheels, the CX-90 does the most it can with minimal features.

Standard Interior Design and Available Upgrades

Chevy Traverse
The Chevy Traverse seats up to eight with 98 cubic feet of max cargo space. Cloth, heated front seats, and tri-zone climate control make your entry-level model anything but basic. Active noise cancellation will preserve conversations during the ride home in Paterson, NJ, while the standard remote start gets your cabin warm and ready to go upon entry.
Available Upgrades
- Jet Black Perforated Leather Seats w/Bronze Accents
- Jet Black Perforated Leather Seats w/Sky Cool Gray
- Jet Black Perforated Leather Seats with Torch Red Accents
- Second-Row Bucket Seats

- Heated Rear Outboard Seats

Mazda CX-90
The Mazda CX-90 follows suit with the Chevy Traverse, with room for up to eight passengers and standard tri-zone climate control. The interior design won't turn any heads or mimic the Traverse's modern interior design, but the entry-level leatherette seats bring an elegant appeal to the cabin.
Available Upgrades
- Leather-trimmed Seats
- Nappa Leather-Trimmed Seats
- Heated Front-Row Seats
- Heated Second-Row Seats
- 2nd Row Captain's Chairs
- Ventilated Front and Second-Row Seats

Driver's Assistance and Technology

Chevy Traverse
The entry-level Chevy Traverse will feel like an upgrade. The standard 17.7-inch infotainment touchscreen has Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ for instant smartphone connections. In addition, the 11-inch diagonal driver information center and wireless touchscreen should be upgrades, but they're included in every model, along with multiple USB ports and an in-cabin Wi-Fi Hotspot.

Mazda CX-90
The standard 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen and 7-inch LCD monitor feel more like an entry-level model should-that's not necessarily a good thing. However, there are larger options available in higher trims. The 12.3-inch full color version and the 12.3-inch LCD monitor bring your connected device to life in the Mazda CX-90.
