The 2021 Chevrolet Traverse is a big family mover with a sharper look and better safety features.

PROS
Sharp looks
Standard active safety features
Comfortable ride
Spacious interior
Wireless smartphone software

CONS

Middling fuel economy
Just one engine available

Chevrolet has given its three-row Traverse a light refresh for the 2021 model year that includes revised exterior styling and a host of new standard driver-assistance features. Among them are automated emergency braking, pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, and automatic high-beam headlamps. An 8.0-inch display inside the gauge cluster is now an available tech option, and new upholstery designs dress up the interior.

PROS
Spacious cabin,
peppy acceleration,
fuel efficient powertrain.

CONS
Big blind spots toward the rear,
plasticky interior parts,
most appealing options cost extra.

The 2021 Traverse has no significant changes. Part of the second Traverse generation introduced for 2018.

PROS
Passenger room is generous in all three rows
Loads of space for any combination of passengers and cargo
Feature-rich infotainment system comes with standard Wi-Fi hotspot

CONS
Some safety features are only available on top trims
Quality of some interior panels and controls seems low-rent for this class

Changes are few to the 2020 Hyundai Nexo. The base Blue model gets a cargo cover and rear privacy glass, and the Limited gets rain-sensing wipers.

Pros
Impressive cruising range,
spacious interior,
lengthy warranty to back up the exotic technology.

Cons
Priced higher than normal crossovers,
dull to drive,
sparse California-only network of hydrogen stations.

Pros
Promises 350-plus miles of range from a five-minute hydrogen fill-up
Smooth, silent and torquey drive qualities of an electric vehicle
SUV-like body style

Cons
Only available in select areas of California
Hydrogen availability is limited

By:

The Nexo was an all-new model for 2019, so the new decade brings with it minimal changes to the world's first dedicated hydrogen-powered SUV. The base model, named Nexo Blue, now includes a rear cargo cover and rear privacy glass, and the top-spec Limited model sees the addition of rain-sensing window wipers.

Pros
Good cruising range
Lots of space cabin space
Impressive warranty
Gives us a look into the future

Cons
New tech means high asking price
It's not the most entertaining to drive
Only practical to own in California
Reliability of new powertrain untested
