The 2011 Chevrolet Traverse will comfortably haul up to eight people in style. With a distinctive exterior, roomy and modern interior, as well as performance and fuel economy that are excellent for its size, the Traverse makes a good choice for anyone who needs space and practicality, but just can’t bear the thought of driving a minivan.
With its standard all-wheel drive and generous ground clearance, the Outback would probably be pretty good at dealing with the deserted vastness of the 2011 Subaru Outback. In United States, though, Subaru′s blending of wagon and SUV has become a favorite for those who live in mountainous and/or snowy climates. Yet, because of last year′s full redesign, the Outback is now bigger and more comfortable than before, catering better to those who live in a variety of places and climates. A rear-view camera is added to the options list for the 2011 Subaru Outback. The 3.6R Limited trim gets standard satellite radio.
The 2010 Toyota RAV-4 comes in Base, Sport and Limited trims, with either a four-cylinder or a V-6 engine, and either front-wheel drive or an on-road-biased all-wheel-drive system. Automatic transmissions come standard (a four-speed unit for the four-cylinder, a five-speed auto for the V-6). The 2010 RAV-4 is close to Toyota’s midsize Highlander in length and actually has a more powerful V-6. Yet thanks to its more narrow width and lighter weight, it′s easier to park and achieves superior fuel economy when comparably equipped. In reviews, the RAV-4 has always impressed with its blend of versatility, space and engine choices that are both powerful and fuel-efficient. It is one of the top choices in its increasingly crowded class.
