Serving Danville, VA

One of the benefits of driving a larger vehicle is having the space to fit more people, which is why the 2021 Honda Odyssey and the 2021 Chevrolet Traverse are best-selling models among consumers. Both models have a lot of similarities, but also a few differences, which you can discover with an online test drive at Steve Padgett's Danville Honda. Here are a few of the main features to review to determine which one will be the right fit for your needs and your time spent on the road.

Performance

The 2021 Honda Odyssey feels highly responsive and controlled for added peace of mind, especially when traveling with your family. It comes standard with a 280-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine and has a good amount of acceleration for its size. It delivers ample power for getting around town and can maintain its speed while traveling up steep inclines. It has a willingness to rev and feels smooth while driving on different types of roads. It even offers 10 different speeds, and the transmission proves it can shift smoothly and quickly for added convenience.

As a midsize SUV, the Chevrolet Traverse delivers a cushioned ride and has tall sidewall tires. The ride and handling aren't as impressive as what you'll find in the Odyssey. The shifts from the transmission feel timely and smooth. Drivers may be disappointed to find that the gas-saving stop-start function can't be disabled at any time, but it's generally reliable and works smoothly.

Consumer Reviews

One of the reasons drivers favor the 2021 Honda Odyssey is because it's reliable and lasts a long longer than similar models on the road. It's easy to get in and out of the minivan, and the spacious interior allows tall passengers to also ride in each row. It has an expansive cargo area and a long list of standard safety technology. Drivers also found it has a powerful engine and a balanced ride. The cabin is also upscale and roomy.

Drivers feel that the 2021 Chevrolet Traverse has more than enough passenger and cargo space to make it comfortable to drive for long-distance trips. The infotainment system is intuitive and has a user-friendly design. The comfortable ride is another benefit because it has an excellent and advanced suspension system. Drivers also feel the vehicle is less agile than the Honda Odyssey. The Honda Odyssey also looks more upscale on the interior and exterior.

Comfort

The roomy seats that are provided in the Honda Odyssey enhance the accommodation and quality of the vehicle. The large windows make it easy to have a great view of the surroundings in every direction. The vehicle doesn't feel bumpy and has a lot of headroom that is provided.
