TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2017 Chevrolet Traverse has aged gracefully; it's still one of GM's best minivan replacements.

The 2017 Honda Pilot is a capable, refined crossover SUV with all the goodness of a minivan, save for the sliding doors.

TCC Likes

Loads of passenger space
Simple, effective MyLink infotainment
Quiet, controlled ride

The boxy look's been banished
Lavish new interior light-years ahead of the old
Better seats, better cargo space

TCC Dislikes

Unimpressive gas mileage
Drives heavy
High load floor

Maybe not as distinctive in styling
9-speed automatic can get confused
Blind-spot monitors only on most expensive model
