Honda Pilot: Leading with New Appeal
This year, the Honda Pilot has edged out the Kia Telluride in sales, with 55,783 units sold. Its slight lead over the Telluride, combined with a redesign that has added about three inches in length, has contributed to its increased popularity. Enhanced third-row legroom and a competitive cargo capacity make the Pilot a notable alternative, offering a blend of updated features and practicality.
Chevy Traverse: A Strong Contender
The Chevy Traverse, with 68,681 units sold, outpaces the Telluride significantly. Its robust 310-hp V6 engine and nine-speed automatic transmission provide a dynamic driving experience, complemented by generous third-row legroom. While its interior features more plastic components, the Traverse’s additional cargo space and versatile driving modes enhance its appeal.
Chrysler Pacifica: The Minivan Advantage
The Chrysler Pacifica has garnered impressive sales of 73,845 units this year, outperforming the Telluride. Priced slightly lower and offering seating for seven with substantial third-row legroom, the Pacifica stands out with its innovative Stow ‘n Go system for versatile cargo and seating arrangements. Its optional all-wheel drive and plush ride quality contribute to its growing popularity.
Jeep Grand Cherokee: Dominating the Market
Leading the pack is the Jeep Grand Cherokee, with nearly 125,000 units sold. This SUV combines a standard 293-hp engine with an optional 357-hp V8 for powerful performance. Its luxurious interior and advanced off-roading capabilities make it a top choice, despite offering less cargo space compared to the Telluride.
