The car had broken down as they were leaving Gato Colorado. Leni was amused by the name, and especially by the two cement cats, painted bright red, sitting on two pillars at the entrance to the town, which was on the border between the provinces of Santa Fe and Chaco.
The bad noises had begun much earlier, as they were coming in to Tostado, where they had spent the night in a small hotel. Leni said they should get it checked before setting off again, but the Reverend paid no attention.
‘The car won’t let us down. The good Lord wouldn’t allow it.’
Leni, who had been driving since she was ten and took turns at the wheel with her father, knew when a noise was just a noise and when it was a warning signal. ‘We’ll get a mechanic to take a look before we leave,’ she insisted as they drank coffee early that morning in a bar. ‘We could ask here if they know someone who’s good and doesn’t charge too much.’
‘If we take it to a garage, they’ll make us wait the whole day. We have to have faith. When has this car ever broken down, eh?’
Leni kept quiet. They always ended up doing what her father wanted, or, as he saw it, what God expected of them.
When they’d been on the road for two hours, the car gave one last snort and stopped. The Reverend tried to start it again, but it was no use. Leni looked through the insect-spotted windscreen at the road stretching away and said, without turning her head, but in a clear and firm voice:
‘I told you so, Father.’
Pearson got out of the car, took off his jacket, and put it on the back of the seat. He shut the door, rolled up his sleeves, went around to the front, and opened the hood. A jet of smoke made him cough.
All Leni could see now was the hood with its chrome plating and smoke or steam coming out the sides. Then her father walked past; she heard him open the trunk and shift the suitcases. Two big, battered suitcases, secured with leather straps, which held all their belongings. In his: six shirts, three suits, an overcoat, undershirts, socks, underwear, another pair of shoes. In hers: three shirts, three skirts, two dresses, a coat, underwear, another pair of shoes. The Reverend slammed the trunk shut again.
Leni got out. The sun was scorching, and it was only nine in the morning. She undid the top two buttons of her shirt, walked around the car, and found her father putting out the warning triangles. She looked at the triangles and the deserted road. Between and where they were, they hadn’t seen a single car.
‘Any moment now a Good Samaritan will come along,’ said the Reverend, with his hands on his hips and a smile on his face, oozing faith.
She looked at him.
‘The good Lord won’t leave us stranded here,’ he said, rubbing his lower back, ruined by all those years of driving.
Leni thought that if one fine day the good Lord actually came down from the Kingdom of Heaven to attend to the Reverend’s mechanical mishaps, her father would be more stunned than anyone. He’d fall on his backside. And piss himself too.
She took a few steps on the road, which was full of cracks and potholes. Her heels clicked on the concrete.
It was a place that seemed to have been completely forsaken by humans. Her gaze ranged over the stunted, dry, twisted trees and the bristly grass in the fields. From the very first day of Creation, God too had forsaken that place. But she was used to it. She’d spent her whole life in places like that.
‘Don’t go far,’ her father called out.
Leni lifted an arm to indicate that she had heard him. ‘And get off the road; if someone comes, there could be an accident.’
Leni laughed to herself. Yeah, or a hare might run her down. She turned her Walkman on and tried to find a station. Nothing. Only aimless static on the air. Steady white noise.
After a while she came back and leaned on the trunk, beside her father.
‘Get in the car. This sun is fierce,’ said the Reverend.
‘I’m fine.’
She glanced across at him. He looked a bit downhearted.
‘Someone will come, Father.’
‘Yes, of course. We must have faith. It’s not a very busy road.’
‘I don’t know. I saw a pair of guinea pigs up there. They went flying over the asphalt so they wouldn’t burn their paws.’ Leni laughed, and so did the Reverend.
‘Ah, my girl. Jesus has blessed me,’ he said, and patted her on the cheek.
This meant that he was very glad to have her with him, thought Leni, but he could never say it like that, straight out: he always had to get Jesus in there, between them. At another moment, that display of diluted affection would have irritated her; but her father seemed vulnerable now, and she felt a little sorry for him. She knew that although he wouldn’t admit it, he was ashamed of having ignored her advice. He was like a child who has messed up.
‘How did it go again, that little verse about the Devil at siesta time?’
‘What? A Bible verse?’
‘No, just a verse, a little poem. What was it? Wait. It was funny.’
‘Elena, you shouldn’t speak lightly of the Devil.’
‘Shhh. Wait, it’s on the tip of my tongue. Okay, here we go: “Setting his traps / he’s gonna catch you / casting his line / he’s gonna hook you / loading his gun / he’s gonna hunt you / it’s Satan, it’s Satan, it’s Satan”.’
Leni burst out laughing. ‘There’s more, but I forget.’
‘Elena, you turn everything into a joke. But the Devil is no laughing matter.’
‘It’s just a song.’
‘Not one I know.’
‘But I used to sing it all the time when I was little.’
‘That’s enough, Elena. You’ll make up anything to torment me.’
Leni shook her head. She wasn’t making it up. That song existed. Of course it did. Then, suddenly, she remembered: she was sitting in the back seat of the car with her mother, in the parking lot of a service station; they were reciting the song and clapping their palms together like playmates, having some fun while the Reverend was in the washroom.
‘Look. There. Praise be to God,’ cried the Reverend and took two strides to the middle of the road, where he stood waving his arms at the bright, glinting point approaching quickly through the heat haze rising off the boiling asphalt.
The truck braked and pulled up sharply beside the Reverend. It was red, with a chrome bumper and tinted windows.
The driver lowered the window on the passenger side and the sound of the cassette player burst out like an explosion; the shock wave of a cumbia forced the Reverend to take a step back. The man leaned out and smiled and said something they couldn’t hear. He disappeared back into the cool cabin, hit a button, and the music stopped. Then he reappeared. He was wearing reflective sunglasses; his skin was tanned, and he hadn’t shaved for a few days.
‘What’s up, bud?’
The Reverend rested his hands on the window, and leaned in to reply, still dazed by the music.
‘Our car broke down.’
The man got out the other side. The work clothes he was wearing contrasted with the sparkling, brand-new vehicle. He approached the car and had a look under the hood, which was still propped open.
‘If you like, I can tow you to the Gringo’s place.’
‘We’re not from around here.’
‘Gringo Brauer has a garage a few miles away. He’ll be able to fix it for sure. I’d take you into town, but on a Saturday, with this heat, it’d be hard to find anyone who could help you. They’ve all gone to Paso de la Patria or the Bermejito to cool off a bit. Me too: I’m going home to get my rod, pick up a few pals, and good luck to anyone who wants me before Monday.’
The man laughed. ‘Well, if you don’t mind.’
‘Of course not, bud. I’m not going to leave you out here in the middle of nowhere, on foot. Not even the spirits are out in this heat.’
He climbed back into his truck and manoeuvred it in front of the car. Then he got out, took a steel cable from the back, and attached the car’s bumper to his tow bar.
‘Let’s go, bud. In you get; it’s nice and cool with the air-con.’
The Reverend sat in the middle; Leni sat next to the door. Everything smelled of leather and those little perfumed pine trees.
‘Passing through?’ asked the driver.
‘We’re going to see an old friend,’ said the Reverend. ‘Well, then, welcome to hell.’
Leni’s last image of her mother is from the rear window of the car. Leni is inside, kneeling on the seat, with her arms and chin on the top of the backrest. Outside, her father has just slammed the trunk shut, after taking out a suitcase and putting it on the ground beside her mother, who is standing there with her arms crossed, wearing the sort of long skirt that Leni wears now. Behind them, over the dirt road of that anonymous town, a backdrop of dawn sky rises, pink and grey. Leni is sleepy; her mouth feels sticky and tastes of toothpaste – they left the hotel without having breakfast.
Her mother uncrosses her arms and wipes her forehead with one hand. The Reverend is speaking to her, but from the car Leni can’t hear what he’s saying. He’s moving his hands a lot. He raises an index finger, lowers it and points at her mother, shakes his head, and keeps talking softly. The way his mouth is moving, it’s like he’s biting each word before he spits it out.
Her mother starts walking toward the car, but the Reverend blocks her way, and she freezes. Like in statues, thinks Leni, who has played that game so often, in so many different yards, with different children every time, after the Sunday sermon. With one arm extended, palm out, the Reverend, her father, walks backward and opens the driver’s door. Her mother is left standing there, beside the suitcase. She covers her face with her hands. She’s crying.
The car starts and pulls away, raising a cloud of dust. Her mother runs after it for a few yards, like a dog dumped beside the road at the beginning of the holidays.
This happened almost ten years ago. The details of her mother’s face have faded from Leni’s memory, but not the shape of her body: tall, slim, elegant. When she looks at herself in the mirror, she feels that she has inherited her bearing. At first she believed it was just wishful thinking, a desire to resemble her. But since becoming a woman, she has caught her father, more than once, looking at her with a blend of fascination and contempt, the way you might look at someone who stirs up a mixture of good and bad memories.
The Reverend and Leni have never spoken of that episode. She doesn’t know the name of the town where they left her mother, although if they went back to that street, she’s sure she would recognise it immediately. Places like that don’t change much over the years. The Reverend, of course, must remember the exact point on the map where he left his wife, and must, of course, have struck it off his itinerary for good.
From that morning on, Reverend Pearson has presented himself as a widowed pastor with a young girl in his care. A man in such circumstances elicits instant trust and sympathy. If his wife has been snatched away by God in the prime of life, leaving him alone with a little girl, and he carries on, firm in his faith, burning with the flame of Christ’s love, he must be a good man, a man who deserves to be listened to attentively.
The above is an extract from The Wind That Lays Waste by Selva Almada, translated from the Spanish by Chris Andrews and available now from Charco Press.

The 2022 Hyundai Tucson is the new compact crossover segment leader
New Post has been published on https://appradab.com/the-2022-hyundai-tucson-is-the-new-compact-crossover-segment-leader-2/
The 2022 Hyundai Tucson is the new compact crossover segment leader
The new Hyundai Tucson is fantastic both to drive and look at.
Daniel Golson/Roadshow
Hyundai isn’t falling into the industry-typical habit of making all its new cars look like Russian dolls. From the Sonata to the Palisade to the Elantra, every new Hyundai debut is more interesting than the last. But they’re more than just great pieces of design — these products are well-rounded, too. The 2022 Tucson crossover isn’t just Hyundai’s latest model, it’s the company’s best one yet.
Like
Radical exterior styling
Supercomfortable ride
Impressive interior design
Loads of features and tech
Don’t Like
Tepid four-cylinder engine
Touch controls aren’t for everyone
Crossovers can be cool, too
Like the new Sonata and Elantra, the Tucson will surely be divisive, but I absolutely love it. Easily the most striking part of the design is the Tucson’s face. The wing-shaped “parametric design” front grille has angular inserts and a dark chrome-ish finish, and the LED running lights and turn signals are integrated into the grille, appearing hidden when off. Meanwhile, the main headlights and high beams are in the larger pods in the lower bumper. It’s a distinctive solution and looks awesome, especially at night.

See all photos
The rest of the Tucson is cool, too. It’s got squared-off wheel arches reminiscent of the Lamborghini Countach — yes, really — and lots of intense character lines and surfacing details. My Tucson’s Amazon Gray paint has tons of metal flake and looks green under direct sunlight, showing off the lines perfectly. The greenhouse is accented by a spearlike chrome strip that gets thicker at the D-pillar, but otherwise there’s not a lot of jewelry. The slash-shaped taillights have a unique signature and are connected by a full-width light bar, and the placement of the Hyundai badge in the rear glass is interesting.
Globally the 2022 Tucson is offered with two different wheelbase lengths, but we only get the longer one in the US. The 2022 model is 6.1 inches longer, 0.6 inch wider and 0.6 inch taller than the outgoing Tucson, and it’s on a 3.4-inch-longer wheelbase. Passenger volume and cargo space are up, too, besting the Toyota RAV4 in both metrics but falling a little short of the Honda CR-V. The rear is especially roomy, with reclining seat backs that easily fold flat and a fold-down armrest with cup holders and storage. The cargo area also has an adjustable load floor with two height levels.
The Tucson gives us Lamborghini Countach vibes.
Daniel Golson/Roadshow
An interior you need to touch
While more restrained than the exterior, the Tucson’s interior still stands out. It has a waterfall dashboard design with thin air vents that wrap all the way around the rectangular dash and onto the door cards, and a large center panel that houses the infotainment system and climate controls. Most trims get analog gauges with a 4.2-inch display in the center, but optional on the SEL and standard on the Limited is a nice 10.3-inch digital instrument cluster. The Limited also gets a push-button gear selector instead of the physical shifter found on the other trims.
Cloth upholstery is standard, and the base Tucson has plastic door panels, but supportive leather seats and soft-touch door cards are standard on the Limited and available on the SEL. I definitely prefer the two-tone light gray and black color scheme you see here, as the interior looks more sterile in all black. One of my favorite details is the Limited’s cool fabric inserts on the door panels and on the dash in front of the passenger; I wish that material had been used more throughout the interior.
The base Tucson uses an 8-inch touchscreen, but Limited models like my car get a 10.3-inch display running the same fantastic infotainment system that’s found in a number of other Hyundai Motor Group products like the Santa Fe and the Kia K5. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across the board, but only cars with the 8-inch screen get wireless CarPlay. The large display looks really good and is super snappy, and I like that you can swipe over to a simple display that just shows the clock and exterior temperature info. It’s also got fun features like nature soundscapes, and there’s a quiet mode for the audio that focuses the noise on the driver.
This is an extremely nice place to be.
Daniel Golson/Roadshow
While the lower-end Tucsons have a bunch of physical buttons and knobs, the Limited replaces them with an entirely touch-sensitive panel for the climate, audio and infotainment controls, and a digital display for the temperature and fan speed. I’d like a home button for the infotainment and want the buttons to have some sort of force feedback, but they’re easy to get used to. You can hold your finger on a button to quickly adjust fan speed or volume, and I love that Hyundai has multiple intensities for the automatic climate control.
Comfort over corner carving
The Tucson’s standard powertrain is a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter inline-4 paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. It makes 187 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque, nearly identical to the Honda CR-V’s turbo motor and 16 hp and 6 lb-ft less than the RAV4’s four-cylinder engine. Front-wheel drive is standard, but my test car has the optional $1,400 all-wheel-drive system that has variable torque distribution. This engine is perfectly fine around town and on the highway, but it certainly doesn’t make the Tucson quick or sporty-feeling. The transmission can be sluggish to downshift, but at least the Limited comes with paddle shifters.
The Tucson’s steering is both lightly weighted and light on feedback, and there’s a good amount of body roll in the corners. But what this crossover lacks in sportiness it makes up for in comfort. Even on the Limited’s 19-inch wheels the Tucson soaks up bumps and rough surfaces, delivering a superb ride that’s smoother than any of its competitors — even the refined Mazda CX-5. It’s luxury-car quiet on the inside, too, though the noisy engine sometimes cuts through that serenity under hard acceleration.
The Tucson’s rear seat reclines and folds flat.
Daniel Golson/Roadshow
The EPA rates the Tucson at 26 mpg city, 33 mpg highway and 29 mpg combined for the front-drive model, while the AWD Tucson is rated at 24/29/26. In mostly stop-and-go city driving I average about 22 mpg, but on a long drive from Los Angeles to Bakersfield I match the Tucson’s 29-mpg highway figure — and that’s at 85 mph with elevation changes and the air conditioning on.
Every Tucson trim level is available with a new hybrid setup that pairs a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder with an electric motor for a total of 261 hp, and it’s rated at nearly 40 mpg. While I haven’t had a chance to drive the Tucson hybrid yet, with turbo response, more power and better efficiency, it might be the powertrain to get. But there’s also a plug-in hybrid on the way with 261 hp and 32 miles of electric range, and the recently revealed Santa Cruz pickup, which is based on the Tucson, has an available turbo-four engine with 281 hp and 311 lb-ft that’s paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. Tucson N, anyone?
Lots of bang for your buck
The base Tucson SE starts at $26,135 including $1,185 for destination, making it cheaper than rivals from Honda and Toyota. It comes with full-LED front lighting, automatic headlights and high beams, 17-inch wheels, keyless entry, automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist with lane centering, a tilt and telescoping steering wheel, a pair of front-passenger USB outlets and HD radio.
Upper trims get a 10.3-inch screen and touch controls.
Daniel Golson/Roadshow
Jumping up to the $27,685 SEL nets you LED taillights, push-button start, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, two USB outlets in the rear, heated side mirrors, a powered driver’s seat, heated front seats, auto up/down front windows, satellite radio, blind-spot assist, rear cross-traffic assist and a number of aesthetic improvements. A $2,600 Convenience package adds things like a hands-free power liftgate, 19-inch wheels, a sunroof, that digital gauge cluster, a leather-wrapped shifter and steering wheel, 10-color ambient lighting, dual-zone automatic climate control and wireless charging. There’s also a $1,700 Premium package with leather seats, ventilated front seats, a Bose audio system and the dark chrome grille. Then there’s a $31,785 N Line trim that builds off the SEL and its packages with more aggressive exterior styling, unique interior trimmings and sportier tuning for the suspension and steering, though it doesn’t add any extra power.
The fully loaded $35,885 Limited model like I have includes features and tech items that would have been unheard of in an affordable compact crossover not even 10 years ago. In addition to everything from those SEL packages, it adds a panoramic sunroof, more exterior brightwork, a 360-degree camera and parking sensors, Hyundai’s Digital Key phone app, memory for the driver’s seat, a powered passenger seat, rain-sensing wipers, remote smart park, 64-color interior ambient lighting, blind-spot cameras that display in the gauge cluster, heated rear seats and a heated steering wheel, and Hyundai’s Level 2 Highway Driving Assist system. Strangely, one feature that the Tucson doesn’t have is auto up/down rear windows, which is a weird omission given how much other fancy stuff you can get.
The 2022 Hyundai Tucson’s styling won’t be for everyone, and that’s OK. I think it’s better to stand out and be memorable than to be anonymous and fade into the background, especially in such a packed and traditionally boring segment. If you’re into the angular looks — or can at least get past them — the redesigned Tucson offers the best mix of tech, features, refinement and value of any new compact crossover today.

$2.3 Million Homes in Pennsylvania, New Mexico and Illinois
Philadelphia | $2.295 Million
A 1925 stone house with six bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, on a nearly half-acre lot
This home is in the Chestnut Hill neighborhood, less than half a mile east of Wissahickon Valley Park, with its 57 miles of trails, and a short walk from Germantown Avenue, a cobblestone corridor lined with shops and restaurants. The nearest SEPTA station is a two-minute walk, and the train trip south to downtown Philadelphia takes less than 30 minutes.
Size: 5,064 square feet
Price per square foot: $453
Indoors: The original house was designed by the G.W. & W.D. Hewitt architecture firm, known for Philadelphia’s 1904 Bellevue-Stratford Hotel. In 2014, the interiors were overhauled by John S. Andrews Architects: The front entrance hall was opened up, the kitchen was moved and a family room, first-floor powder room and mudroom were created. Improvements also included new hardwood flooring, a new roof, all new wiring, a new high-efficiency natural gas heating system and an updated cooling system.
The elegant, high-ceilinged foyer leads through an interior colonnade to a dining room with a fireplace and walls covered in a silver-patterned chinoiserie paper designed by Meg Braff. French doors open to a sunroom that wraps around a corner of the house and connects to the long, covered front porch. Another door leads to the former galley kitchen, now a sitting room with grasscloth-covered walls, a built-in corner bookcase, a fireplace and French doors that open to the back terrace.
On the other side of the foyer is a living room with a bay window hung with custom silk draperies, gray walls with white picture-rail molding, a gas-burning fireplace and built-in bookshelves. Beyond it is the new eat-in chef’s kitchen, which has radiant-heated floors, a breakfast nook with an L-shaped banquette that seats 10, a wet bar and a marble-topped island that seats four and incorporates a wine refrigerator.
The new powder room has radiant-heated floors and Cole & Son botanical wallpaper. The rear mudroom includes open and closed storage areas; it leads to the backyard and to the detached two-car garage.
On the second floor is a master suite with sea-foam-green fabric wallcovering and a wood-burning fireplace. A walk-in closet is lined with custom shelving and includes an island. The master bathroom is surfaced in Porcelanosa porcelain tile and has a walk-in glass shower and a vanity with twin sinks. This floor also has two guest bedrooms with fireplaces, a new hall bathroom with a combined tub and shower, and a new laundry room.
An additional three bedrooms, including a guest suite, are on the third floor. A new hall bathroom has a walk-in glass shower.
Outdoor space: The property was recently improved with pebble patios, a row of trees, a fishpond with a fountain and outdoor lighting.
Taxes: $13,256

Santa Fe, N.M. | $2.3 Million
A pueblo-style house with three bedrooms and three bathrooms
Katherine Stinson Otero (1891-1977), a stunt pilot who is credited with being the first woman skywriter and went on to practice as an architect in Santa Fe, designed this adobe home (or the original carriage house that was expanded into this home) after retiring from aviation in 1920. Part of a compound she designed in Plaza Chamisal — in a historic area that is a 10-minute walk south of the Santa Fe Plaza and even closer to the art galleries on Canyon Road to the east — it was remodeled in 2004 by Lloyd Martinez, a builder, working with Wayne Lloyd, an architect, and a number of local artisans. The furniture, including an outdoor patio table made of jade, is being sold with the property; the artworks will not remain.
Size: 2,750 square feet
Price per square foot: $836
Indoors: Wisteria vines frame the shaded entrance. The original Dutch front door opens to a foyer that steps down to a living room with plaster walls, viga beams and a kiva fireplace with a decorative plaster finish. The living room continues into a separate dining room with a brass-and-crystal chandelier. The new kitchen is the last in the sequence of rooms, up two steps, behind a plaster wall with a pass-through. It has a pine-cone fireplace, wood-paneled cabinets with stone-tile countertops and a mural painted around a back door leading to the garden.
Turning right from the foyer you find a large guest bedroom with knotty-pine finishes and furnishings and whipstitch detailing on one of the plaster walls. The en suite bathroom has russet-colored stucco walls and Mexican tile squares on the vanity top and in the combined tub and shower.
A staircase with risers inlaid with patterned mosaics ascends to the second level, where there are two bedroom suites. The master bedroom has a private outdoor balcony. The stone-tile-clad master bathroom includes a side-by-side soaking tub and shower in arched niches, as well as double sinks and a kiva fireplace.
Outdoor space: The property has adobe walls surrounding lush gardens and three outdoor entertainment zones. A heated, covered terrace runs alongside the house, next to an outdoor kitchen with a barbecue grill. There is also a fieldstone-paved terrace that the owners built in an adjacent lot they acquired; in that area is the jade dining table, under a pergola. Off-street parking is in front of the house, and to the side.
Taxes: $9,279 (2018), plus a $575 quarterly homeowner’s fee

Evanston, Ill. | $2.25 Million
A 1923 Mediterranean-style house with five bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms
The owners bought this brick house steps from Lake Michigan in 1999 and undertook an extensive renovation that doubled its size. They added a wing to the west side, extended the back of the building and constructed a detached three-car garage with a one-bedroom apartment.
The property is in northeast Evanston, on Sheridan Road, a sinuous, tree-lined thoroughfare that takes you south to Chicago (the Loop is about a 40-minute drive). Shopping districts are about a mile southwest along Central Street, and in downtown Evanston, about a mile and a half south. The nearest public elementary school is three blocks away, and Northwestern University’s campus is less than a mile away. The home is very close to Lighthouse Beach.
Size: 7,373 square feet
Price per square foot: $305
Indoors: Terraced front steps take you to custom-made steel front door with circular windows that match the new porthole windows on the facade. The two-story foyer introduces the walnut-stained oak floors and traditional molding found throughout the home. The living room is to the left; it has the original marble fireplace with a carved mantel. Casement windows topped by half moons of glass line the walls and extend into an adjacent music room with new French doors leading to a side terrace.
A swinging door connects the living room to a 15-by-17-foot dining room. From there, you enter a butler’s pantry with marble-topped counters, a glass-mosaic-tile backsplash and stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher, wine cooler and ice maker.
The kitchen that follows has the same finishes, as well as a custom zebrawood island, and occupies one end of a family room that is almost 19 by 26 feet. (A gas fireplace is at the other end.) Three sets of glass doors along one wall of this room open to an attached screened porch with bluestone flooring and skylights set into a wood ceiling. The owners also created a first-floor office in the addition, facing front, with a trio of arched windows.
There are four bedrooms on the second floor. The master suite takes up the entirety of the addition and includes a 388-square-foot bedroom with a wall of open cabinetry, a 181-square-foot closet fitted out with racks, cubbies and drawers and, between them, a bathroom with marble finishes, heated floors, a jetted tub and a steam shower.

The 2020 Hyundai Palisade Is Exactly What It Needs to Be
SEOUL, South Korea — If there’s one auto-industry rule to follow to have a strong fiscal 2019, it’s to have a strong SUV game. Fortunately for Hyundai, the Korean brand will launch the Palisade, its all-new flagship utility next summer just as the kids are getting out of school and parents are on the search for a new road-trip machine. And fortunately for those buyers, the 2020 Hyundai Palisade may be Hyundai’s most impressive SUV yet.
Serving as the replacement for the three-row 2019 Santa Fe XL, the new, three-inch-longer Palisade rides on a front-drive platform with Hyundai’s HTRAC all-wheel-drive system an available option. It has a 114.2-inch wheelbase and will directly compete with such vehicles as the Honda Pilot, Nissan Pathfinder, Toyota Highlander, and Ford Explorer as a spacious vehicle with seating for either seven or eight, depending on whether you opt for a bench or captain’s chairs in the second row. The interior is roomy enough that it almost feels like a minivan inside (the roof-mounted second- and third-row HVAC vents only enhance this sense) and the second-row seats have enough fore-aft adjustment to make the third row accessible to average-sized adults, if needed.
When the 2020 Palisade launches in the U.S. next summer, it won’t have the 2.2-liter diesel engine we found under the hood of our South Korean market test vehicle. Diesel-emission debate aside, the engine performed well enough but was loud and clattery from the Palisade’s exterior; this did provide a good test for interior noise levels, and the racket was masked fairly well thanks to copious amounts of sound deadening in this roughly 4,500-pound vehicle. Instead, we’ll receive an all-aluminum, Atkinson-capable 3.8-liter V-6 with something like 292 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. (The U.S. output figures haven’t been finalized.) The in-house eight-speed automatic in the vehicles we drove will also serve duty in U.S. models, and we found it to be a good partner for the diesel engine. Hyundai did not have fuel-economy estimates available for the U.S.-spec powertrain.
The suspension consists of struts up front and a multilink setup at the rear, essentially the industry standard for this class, and our Palisade rode on 20-inch wheels (18s are standard) with Michelin Primacy all-season tires. The Palisade’s ride is both comfortable and well-controlled, with just a hint of the firmness you’d find in SUVs with sportier pretensions. The ride was comfortable and never jarring during light off-roading on an unpaved hillside trail, yet the handling was composed and responsive on meandering back roads and during exercises at Hyundai’s proving grounds. Drive modes include Comfort, Sport, and Eco, with Sport firming up the steering and enlivening the throttle response and transmission shift programming. Traction modes include Sand, Mud, and Snow.
While all the vehicles on hand had the available all-wheel-drive system, when the going got tough, the Palisade simply stopped going, albeit with much of the blame to be apportioned to the venue. Specifically, Hyundai invited us to try the Palisade on a local beach where we could use the vehicle’s Sand traction-control setting to have a little rooster-tailed fun. Unfortunately, no fewer than three of the 10 or so assembled Palisades met their match once the beach had been well and truly churned up by the group, getting hopelessly buried up to their undercarriages in deep, soft sand that required higher speeds, lower tire pressures, or both to realistically traverse. No matter, the likelihood of a Palisade finding itself on anything more than a dirt road is about the same as getting struck by lightning on your way to cash-in your winning Mega Millions ticket.
Still, as we sat there on the beach waiting for the stuck-UVs to be extricated, we found plenty to like in the cabin, with its fairly convincing wood-look trim, soft Nappa leather seats, and light, airy feel (helped in part by the rich looking, cream-colored upholstery). While there are still some painted plastic surfaces that don’t fit the otherwise premium aesthetic, the Palisade’s interior presents above the status quo for the segment. Our example was well-equipped and came with the optional 10.25-inch display panel with navigation, which is mounted vertically on the dash similar to the latest offerings from Mercedes. Our Palisade was also equipped with the optional head-up display and the Surround View monitor, the latter of which should really be a standard feature in vehicles of this size. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included on every Palisade, and we appreciated the camera display between the speedometer and tachometer that gives a look at blind spots when turning or changing lanes.
The Palisade is the first Hyundai to be equipped with a push-button-style transmission, with the buttons located on the high, wide, and sweeping center console, next to the drive and traction-mode controller. While the center stack looks a little button-heavy, all the switchgear is laid out clearly and thoughtfully, making it relatively simple to find most basic functions even on first introduction. There is also a sizable center cubby under the armrest that should fit smaller handbags, and a tray under the console for snacks or other detritus. USB ports are found in both first and second rows for device-charging and connectivity.
Other interesting optional features available on the Palisade include an intercom system for speaking with passengers in the rear rows, as well as a mute function which allows music to play up front but not in the rear of the vehicle. Wireless device charging, a 630-watt Infinity premium stereo, and heated/ventilated first- and second-row seating is also available. The optional dual-panel sunroof still leaves plenty of headroom in all rows.
As you’d imagine, a whole suite of safety tech is found on the Palisade, including standard speed-sensing cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, and rear cross-traffic warning and parking-distance warning. A rearview monitor with parking guidance and forward collision avoidance is also found on all Palisades. Really, it’s a pretty comprehensive standard safety package with the only out-of-pocket items being front parking distance alert, rain-sensing wipers, and a rear-occupant alert system that detects activity in the car after it’s locked and uses a honk of the horn and a flash of the headlights to alert the driver to a forgotten child, pet, or snoozing grandmother.
We’ll be able to get a better feel for the Palisade on American roads before its launch here. Hyundai says that the Palisade will get one state of tune to fit both the Korean and U.S. markets, so we’re expecting the ride and handling to feel largely the same as it did in South Korea, barring and last-minute adjustments. Meanwhile, Kia will launch its own Telluride SUV on this same chassis, which we expect will slot into a slightly lower price point. That price is still unclear, but if the company stays true to form, it’ll be in-line with those of its major competitors if not a bit lower. Figure a starting point in the mid-$30,000 range and to pay $10,000 or so more for the top-spec, all-wheel-drive versions. While these sorts of vehicles are anathema to those who seek driving enjoyment, they can still be pleasant places to spend time. The Palisade is that, and it proves that Hyundai’s SUV game is indeed strong right now.

First Drive: 2018 Chevrolet Traverse Premier
LAKE GEORGE, Michigan — The first-generation Chevrolet Traverse represented a brand and its corporation in transition, having launched the model year before General Motors’ bankruptcy. American families were starting to trade in truck-based sport/utility vehicles like the Chevy TrailBlazer for more carlike unibody front-wheel-drive-based SUVs. Ten years later, Chevrolet is stepping up its game in this segment, taking on leaders like the best-selling Ford Explorer, as well as the likes of the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Toyota Highlander, Hyundai Santa Fe and Honda Pilot, all of which are more popular than the Traverse. Even Chevrolet’s bigger, traditional Chevy Tahoe/Suburban combo outsold Traverse by more than 46,000 units last year.
So the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse and its smaller compact sibling, the Equinox, are two key models in Chevy’s goal of becoming America’s number-one brand again. That means it must first catch Toyota, and then Ford, the latter of which outsold Chevrolet by nearly 391,000 units last year.
To drive its competitive points home, Chevy offered journalists a chance to take their families to various Michigan resorts (yes, we have them) for the weekend in order to best enjoy the Traverse’s qualities. No one among Automobile’s Detroit Bureau-based staff has kids, but my wife, Donna, and I have three collies in our family. We took up Chevy on its offer of a new Traverse for the weekend, and turned down the resort lodging offered as our destination in favor of our newly purchased, dog-friendly cabin off Lake George in the north-central part of the state, about 180 miles away.
There will be fur.
Outside, the new Traverse shares Chevy’s very handsome design language and its coke-bottle body forms with the new Equinox. The two SUVs recall the organic, fuselage-style profiles of Chevy’s glory years in the 1960s and early ‘70s. Chevy says that the all-new Traverse is only slightly larger than the first model, with a 2.0-inch longer wheelbase and a slight increase in overall length, but significantly more interior space.
“We wanted the feeling and the presence of a truck,” says designer Rich Scheer. It has ‘Tahoe DNA’—more SUV than CUV, he says.
I think the new Chevy Traverse looks much sleeker, tighter and less people-mover-like than the old Traverse.
“The fact that the truck studio designed this model is not a happy accident,” says Steve Majoros, marketing director for Chevrolet cars and crossovers.
That’s a major hint. We know the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado and 2020 Chevy Tahoe/Suburban will be radically updated, with sleeker, more aerodynamic styling, so it’s pretty clear that the 2018 Chevy Traverse is a 7/8-scale preview of those full-size trucks. Imagine the next Tahoe/Suburban as a larger, longer Traverse. Cut the top off aft the b- or c-pillar, throw a solid rear axle back in, and you have the next Silverado. Whether this styling translates into being more truck-like or not, it works, and it should move the metal among mainstream consumers, who typically list “styling” as a major purchase consideration.
Underneath, the 2018 Traverse is all-new. It rides on the C1Y platform shared with the smaller GMC Acadia and the coming Mark II Buick Enclave. Its 3.6-liter V-6 is the only carryover piece, and only engine choice thus far. This is not the 3649-cc V-6 with Active Fuel Management (cylinder shut-off) introduced in the Cadillac CT6, but instead an updated version of the 3564-cc High-Feature V-6 that’s been on the market for more than a decade. It’s coupled to GM’s new 9-speed automatic transmission, and features stop/start technology, with no shutoff switch for the driver. Manumatic control is limited to a button on the gearshift, and the driver may select a range of gears among the nine while in tow mode.
The suspension of the Traverse has MacPherson struts up front and a five-link rear. Chief engineer Dean Perelli points to the Sachs PLV passive dampers with rebound springs in the rear as an important addition. A urethane vertical bar inside the spring coils, called a Spring Aid, serves as a jounce bumper.
The result is a soft, supple ride, but with good handling, Perelli says. The electrically assisted power steering has variable effort, and the turning diameter of 39 feet is about 1.5-feet tighter than the old model’s.
Base wheels are 18-inchers, but our spiffy-looking Traverse Premier’s $2,495 Redline Edition appearance package adds 20-inch aluminum wheels and paints them black with red accents. It also blacks out the chrome trim and the bowtie badges and adds a dual Skyscape sunroof and the trailering package.
Donna and I headed for the cabin late Friday afternoon, the Traverse loaded up with our three collies and just a couple of bags. The Traverse’s three rows of seats meant nothing to us. We folded down the second-row captains chairs and the third row bench, and tried to fill in the space between those second-row seats with bags in order to keep the floor as flat as possible for the dogs. If you have dogs and no kids, you’ll want the second-row bench.
The updated V-6 is smooth and powerful, with really nice throttle tip-in. Keep your right foot in it and the 3.6 rewards you with a subtle motorboat trill as you smoothly and quickly reach the mid- and upper-rev ranges. Chevy says 0-60 mph comes in less than 7 seconds, respectable for a 4,362-pound three-row SUV. Ours was a front-wheel-drive model, closer to the stated curb weight than one with the optional all-wheel-drive system.
Because collie Hugo was born blind and has obsessive-compulsive disorder, we can’t buckle him in—and so we don’t buckle in Django or Maude, either. (We usually put up some netting behind the front seats.) Driving with three dogs means being less aggressive on the highway and leaving more space for gentler braking. I made good use of the surround vision cameras, which make backing into parking spaces easy, though we had no use for the “teen driver technology.”
The Traverse’s suspension and steering work as Perelli advertised. It’s probably the smoothest and most comfortable ride among SUVs in this segment, nicely soaking up the expansion strips and the crumbling bits of Michigan’s I-96 and State Highway 127. The jounce control means that dive isn’t bad when sudden brake lights ahead force a harder-than-usual stop. The steering is precise and light, offering good feedback, though the ratio isn’t so quick as to feel too twitchy for such a big, tall sport/utility. This is a comfortable, well-balanced SUV that will suit a family with a sportier, more enthusiast-oriented car on the other side of the garage.
Donna was happy to find that the front passenger seat, like the driver’s seat, has power lumbar support, a feature all too rare, even in luxury models. We ran the front seat coolers on the way up to Lake George. Interior materials and fit-and-finish are state-of-the-art for a brand offering luxury at a commodity price, with rich-looking padding on the dashboard and better-than-average plastic finish on the lower parts of the doors. The Traverse has a lot of convenient storage, including a hidden compartment behind the power-operated radio/navigation screen and a deep compartment under the cargo load floor that’s good for carrying food right under the dogs’ paws. Our $47,930 Chevy Traverse Premier Redline is priced up there with Buick Enclaves and Infiniti QX60s, though the base Traverse starts at $30,875, and the popular Traverse LT with cloth seats begins at $35,495.
We enjoyed the Bose Premium 10-speaker hi-fi, standard with the Premium trim, listening to a mix of public radio and XM channel 67, but we didn’t bother with Apple CarPlay (what are we going to do – call each other?) nor the OnStar or 4G LTE wi-fi hotspot. Longer trips, maybe. Everything operates by touchscreen, though. Chevrolet eschewed the tuning knob in the new Traverse, as well as the Equinox, which makes finding that out-of-town radio station too distracting.
We did use the navigation system and its eight-inch color touchscreen on Saturday night to find a restaurant in Cadillac. The navigation took us out of our way by maybe half a mile, through a closed-loop cul de sac in our lake area community, before directing us to the town about 35 miles away.
On Sunday morning, I drove to a dirt road near our cabin, where there’s some deep sand on parts of the mile-long stretch that goes unplowed during wintertime. I could have had some fun with the twin-clutch Advanced AWD system that disconnects the propshaft for better fuel efficiency. It’s standard on the new top-of-the-range $52,995-base Traverse High Country.
The High Country’s Advanced AWD has four driver-selectable modes (our FWD model came with three; standard, snow-mode and trailer, of which Traverse can tow up to 5,000 pounds). In AWD off-road mode, the system turns the Chevy Traverse High Country into something of a rally car around dirt-road corners, “like a WRX,” says chief engineer Perelli. For me, with my FWD Premier Redline, the road made only a decent photo-op.
It acquitted itself well back in Metro Detroit Monday, when I subjected the SUV to my standard local cloverleaf of right-turn sweepers. There’s no wallow to accompany the soft, comfortable ride, and the SUV steers through such turns with mild, predictable understeer and moderate yaw. You can go sufficiently fast without alerting any stability control nannies, unlike, say the segment-leading Ford Explorer with its overly intrusive Curve Control.
The Traverse’s steering initially required a bit of mid-curve correction. Even with 266 pound-feet going to the front wheels, there was no detectable torque-steer. I heard and felt the un-defeatable stop/start start up just once, on the way back to the office from this modest handling exercise. Otherwise, the fuel-saving feature was undetectable without an eye on the tachometer. It’s the best stop/start in the business.
The three-hour drive back to Metro Detroit a day earlier was uneventful in a good way, even with traffic jams south on 127 and east on 96 as other weekenders tried to get home. Yes, it’s a drive-and-forget sort of vehicle, with a plethora of entertainment options for three-hour-plus trips, with the best-looking styling in the segment. By Monday, I had driven the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse Premier Redline more than 600 miles, the last 256.7 off a fill-up in Cadillac. Indicated fuel mileage was 25.3 mpg at an average speed of 46.7 mph, but by my calculation (and with three or four extra clicks on the regular unleaded pump), I averaged 23.9 mpg. I returned the Traverse to Chevy with the weekend’s bugs and dirt washed off, and just about all of the fur vacuumed from the interior.

The result is a soft, supple ride, but with good handling, Perelli says. The electrically assisted power steering has variable effort, and the turning diameter of 39 feet is about 1.5-feet tighter than the old model’s.
Base wheels are 18-inchers, but our spiffy-looking Traverse Premier’s $2,495 Redline Edition appearance package adds 20-inch aluminum wheels and paints them black with red accents. It also blacks out the chrome trim and the bowtie badges and adds a dual Skyscape sunroof and the trailering package.
Donna and I headed for the cabin late Friday afternoon, the Traverse loaded up with our three collies and just a couple of bags. The Traverse’s three rows of seats meant nothing to us. We folded down the second-row captains chairs and the third row bench, and tried to fill in the space between those second-row seats with bags in order to keep the floor as flat as possible for the dogs. If you have dogs and no kids, you’ll want the second-row bench.
The updated V-6 is smooth and powerful, with really nice throttle tip-in. Keep your right foot in it and the 3.6 rewards you with a subtle motorboat trill as you smoothly and quickly reach the mid- and upper-rev ranges. Chevy says 0-60 mph comes in less than 7 seconds, respectable for a 4,362-pound three-row SUV. Ours was a front-wheel-drive model, closer to the stated curb weight than one with the optional all-wheel-drive system.
Because collie Hugo was born blind and has obsessive-compulsive disorder, we can’t buckle him in—and so we don’t buckle in Django or Maude, either. (We usually put up some netting behind the front seats.) Driving with three dogs means being less aggressive on the highway and leaving more space for gentler braking. I made good use of the surround vision cameras, which make backing into parking spaces easy, though we had no use for the “teen driver technology.”
The Traverse’s suspension and steering work as Perelli advertised. It’s probably the smoothest and most comfortable ride among SUVs in this segment, nicely soaking up the expansion strips and the crumbling bits of Michigan’s I-96 and State Highway 127. The jounce control means that dive isn’t bad when sudden brake lights ahead force a harder-than-usual stop. The steering is precise and light, offering good feedback, though the ratio isn’t so quick as to feel too twitchy for such a big, tall sport/utility. This is a comfortable, well-balanced SUV that will suit a family with a sportier, more enthusiast-oriented car on the other side of the garage.
Donna was happy to find that the front passenger seat, like the driver’s seat, has power lumbar support, a feature all too rare, even in luxury models. We ran the front seat coolers on the way up to Lake George. Interior materials and fit-and-finish are state-of-the-art for a brand offering luxury at a commodity price, with rich-looking padding on the dashboard and better-than-average plastic finish on the lower parts of the doors. The Traverse has a lot of convenient storage, including a hidden compartment behind the power-operated radio/navigation screen and a deep compartment under the cargo load floor that’s good for carrying food right under the dogs’ paws. Our $47,930 Chevy Traverse Premier Redline is priced up there with Buick Enclaves and Infiniti QX60s, though the base Traverse starts at $30,875, and the popular Traverse LT with cloth seats begins at $35,495.
We enjoyed the Bose Premium 10-speaker hi-fi, standard with the Premium trim, listening to a mix of public radio and XM channel 67, but we didn’t bother with Apple CarPlay (what are we going to do – call each other?) nor the OnStar or 4G LTE wi-fi hotspot. Longer trips, maybe. Everything operates by touchscreen, though. Chevrolet eschewed the tuning knob in the new Traverse, as well as the Equinox, which makes finding that out-of-town radio station too distracting.
We did use the navigation system and its eight-inch color touchscreen on Saturday night to find a restaurant in Cadillac. The navigation took us out of our way by maybe half a mile, through a closed-loop cul de sac in our lake area community, before directing us to the town about 35 miles away.
On Sunday morning, I drove to a dirt road near our cabin, where there’s some deep sand on parts of the mile-long stretch that goes unplowed during wintertime. I could have had some fun with the twin-clutch Advanced AWD system that disconnects the propshaft for better fuel efficiency. It’s standard on the new top-of-the-range $52,995-base Traverse High Country.
The High Country’s Advanced AWD has four driver-selectable modes (our FWD model came with three; standard, snow-mode and trailer, of which Traverse can tow up to 5,000 pounds). In AWD off-road mode, the system turns the Chevy Traverse High Country into something of a rally car around dirt-road corners, “like a WRX,” says chief engineer Perelli. For me, with my FWD Premier Redline, the road made only a decent photo-op.
It acquitted itself well back in Metro Detroit Monday, when I subjected the SUV to my standard local cloverleaf of right-turn sweepers. There’s no wallow to accompany the soft, comfortable ride, and the SUV steers through such turns with mild, predictable understeer and moderate yaw. You can go sufficiently fast without alerting any stability control nannies, unlike, say the segment-leading Ford Explorer with its overly intrusive Curve Control.
The Traverse’s steering initially required a bit of mid-curve correction. Even with 266 pound-feet going to the front wheels, there was no detectable torque-steer. I heard and felt the un-defeatable stop/start start up just once, on the way back to the office from this modest handling exercise. Otherwise, the fuel-saving feature was undetectable without an eye on the tachometer. It’s the best stop/start in the business.
The three-hour drive back to Metro Detroit a day earlier was uneventful in a good way, even with traffic jams south on 127 and east on 96 as other weekenders tried to get home. Yes, it’s a drive-and-forget sort of vehicle, with a plethora of entertainment options for three-hour-plus trips, with the best-looking styling in the segment. By Monday, I had driven the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse Premier Redline more than 600 miles, the last 256.7 off a fill-up in Cadillac. Indicated fuel mileage was 25.3 mpg at an average speed of 46.7 mph, but by my calculation (and with three or four extra clicks on the regular unleaded pump), I averaged 23.9 mpg. I returned the Traverse to Chevy with the weekend’s bugs and dirt washed off, and just about all of the fur vacuumed from the interior.

New Post has been published on http://auto.tintoantap.com/2017-hyundai-tucson-limited/
2017 Hyundai Tucson Limited
The Hyundai Tucson is a compact crossover SUV produced by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai since 2004. In the marque’s lineup, the Tucson fits below the Santa Fe and Veracruz. It is named after the city of Tucson, Arizona. 2017 Hyundai Tucson is in its Third generation.
The Tucson SE 2.0L 4-cylinder engine gets up to an EPA-estimated 30 MPG Highway.* The Eco, Sport and Limited’s 1.6 Turbo GDI engine steps up the horsepower to 175 and can still deliver up to an EPA-estimated 32 MPG Highway.* Both engines were designed to give you the optimal balance of horsepower and MPG.
The standard 6-speed automatic delivers smooth power and efficient highway cruising. Select the class-exclusive available 7-speed EcoShift® Dual Clutch Transmission and enjoy a direct connection that provides a balance of fuel economy and performance.
With up to an EPA-estimated 32 MPG Highway,* it’s not just the engine that makes Tucson a more efficient vehicle. Its advanced aerodynamic design is also part of the picture, helping Tucson move down the road effortlessly and contributing to its impressive fuel economy.
A multi-link rear suspension provides a confident response for drivers and a composed ride, especially on rough road surfaces. Up front, the Tucson features an independent strut design with coil springs and gas-pressurized SACHS® shock absorbers. While Motor-Driven Power Steering (MDPS) offers a more natural driving feel.
This available feature gives drivers improved traction and greater cornering capability in turns by transferring engine torque to the rear wheels and applying braking force to the inside rear wheel. The result is improved cornering performance and all-weather capability. For driving off-road and in slippery conditions there’s also a driver-selectable AWD lock which allows for a 50/50 split of available torque between the front and rear wheels.
We’re committed to building higher quality vehicles that offer exceptional value, fuel efficiency and performance. To learn more about all the other ways our commitment to quality wins new accolades and owners.
Apple CarPlay takes the things you want to do with your iPhone® while you’re driving your Tucson and lets you access them right on its built-in touchscreen display or ask Siri® to assist. You can get directions, make calls, send and receive text messages and listen to music all in a way that lets you stay focused on the road. It’s easy, just plug in your iPhone and go.
Android Auto was designed especially for your driving needs. Just connect your Android Auto compatible phone and your select apps are road ready. Use the touchscreen or the Talk to Google feature for directions, to make calls, listen to music or send and receive text messages while you stay focused on the road. Get ready for a great driving experience with fewer distractions.
The 5-inch color touchscreen audio system with a rearview camera is standard on the 2017 Tucson. Plug into this 6-speaker AM/FM/SiriusXM/CD/MP3/smartphone audio system and enjoy the drive. Your free trial of SiriusXM Satellite Radio* offers you even more music, sports, news, talk radio and entertainment options.

First Drive: 2018 Chevrolet Traverse Premier
LAKE GEORGE, Michigan — The first-generation Chevrolet Traverse represented a brand and its corporation in transition, having launched the model year before General Motors’ bankruptcy. American families were starting to trade in truck-based sport/utility vehicles like the Chevy TrailBlazer for more carlike unibody front-wheel-drive-based SUVs. Ten years later, Chevrolet is stepping up its game in this segment, taking on leaders like the best-selling Ford Explorer, as well as the likes of the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Toyota Highlander, Hyundai Santa Fe and Honda Pilot, all of which are more popular than the Traverse. Even Chevrolet’s bigger, traditional Chevy Tahoe/Suburban combo outsold Traverse by more than 46,000 units last year.
So the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse and its smaller compact sibling, the Equinox, are two key models in Chevy’s goal of becoming America’s number-one brand again. That means it must first catch Toyota, and then Ford, the latter of which outsold Chevrolet by nearly 391,000 units last year.
To drive its competitive points home, Chevy offered journalists a chance to take their families to various Michigan resorts (yes, we have them) for the weekend in order to best enjoy the Traverse’s qualities. No one among Automobile’s Detroit Bureau-based staff has kids, but my wife, Donna, and I have three collies in our family. We took up Chevy on its offer of a new Traverse for the weekend, and turned down the resort lodging offered as our destination in favor of our newly purchased, dog-friendly cabin off Lake George in the north-central part of the state, about 180 miles away.
There will be fur.
Outside, the new Traverse shares Chevy’s very handsome design language and its coke-bottle body forms with the new Equinox. The two SUVs recall the organic, fuselage-style profiles of Chevy’s glory years in the 1960s and early ‘70s. Chevy says that the all-new Traverse is only slightly larger than the first model, with a 2.0-inch longer wheelbase and a slight increase in overall length, but significantly more interior space.
“We wanted the feeling and the presence of a truck,” says designer Rich Scheer. It has ‘Tahoe DNA’—more SUV than CUV, he says.
I think the new Chevy Traverse looks much sleeker, tighter and less people-mover-like than the old Traverse.
“The fact that the truck studio designed this model is not a happy accident,” says Steve Majoros, marketing director for Chevrolet cars and crossovers.
That’s a major hint. We know the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado and 2020 Chevy Tahoe/Suburban will be radically updated, with sleeker, more aerodynamic styling, so it’s pretty clear that the 2018 Chevy Traverse is a 7/8-scale preview of those full-size trucks. Imagine the next Tahoe/Suburban as a larger, longer Traverse. Cut the top off aft the b- or c-pillar, throw a solid rear axle back in, and you have the next Silverado. Whether this styling translates into being more truck-like or not, it works, and it should move the metal among mainstream consumers, who typically list “styling” as a major purchase consideration.
Underneath, the 2018 Traverse is all-new. It rides on the C1Y platform shared with the smaller GMC Acadia and the coming Mark II Buick Enclave. Its 3.6-liter V-6 is the only carryover piece, and only engine choice thus far. This is not the 3649-cc V-6 with Active Fuel Management (cylinder shut-off) introduced in the Cadillac CT6, but instead an updated version of the 3564-cc High-Feature V-6 that’s been on the market for more than a decade. It’s coupled to GM’s new 9-speed automatic transmission, and features stop/start technology, with no shutoff switch for the driver. Manumatic control is limited to a button on the gearshift, and the driver may select a range of gears among the nine while in tow mode.
The suspension of the Traverse has MacPherson struts up front and a five-link rear. Chief engineer Dean Perelli points to the Sachs PLV passive dampers with rebound springs in the rear as an important addition. A urethane vertical bar inside the spring coils, called a Spring Aid, serves as a jounce bumper.
The result is a soft, supple ride, but with good handling, Perelli says. The electrically assisted power steering has variable effort, and the turning diameter of 39 feet is about 1.5-feet tighter than the old model’s.
Base wheels are 18-inchers, but our spiffy-looking Traverse Premier’s $2,495 Redline Edition appearance package adds 20-inch aluminum wheels and paints them black with red accents. It also blacks out the chrome trim and the bowtie badges and adds a dual Skyscape sunroof and the trailering package.
Donna and I headed for the cabin late Friday afternoon, the Traverse loaded up with our three collies and just a couple of bags. The Traverse’s three rows of seats meant nothing to us. We folded down the second-row captains chairs and the third row bench, and tried to fill in the space between those second-row seats with bags in order to keep the floor as flat as possible for the dogs. If you have dogs and no kids, you’ll want the second-row bench.
The updated V-6 is smooth and powerful, with really nice throttle tip-in. Keep your right foot in it and the 3.6 rewards you with a subtle motorboat trill as you smoothly and quickly reach the mid- and upper-rev ranges. Chevy says 0-60 mph comes in less than 7 seconds, respectable for a 4,362-pound three-row SUV. Ours was a front-wheel-drive model, closer to the stated curb weight than one with the optional all-wheel-drive system.
Because collie Hugo was born blind and has obsessive-compulsive disorder, we can’t buckle him in—and so we don’t buckle in Django or Maude, either. (We usually put up some netting behind the front seats.) Driving with three dogs means being less aggressive on the highway and leaving more space for gentler braking. I made good use of the surround vision cameras, which make backing into parking spaces easy, though we had no use for the “teen driver technology.”
The Traverse’s suspension and steering work as Perelli advertised. It’s probably the smoothest and most comfortable ride among SUVs in this segment, nicely soaking up the expansion strips and the crumbling bits of Michigan’s I-96 and State Highway 127. The jounce control means that dive isn’t bad when sudden brake lights ahead force a harder-than-usual stop. The steering is precise and light, offering good feedback, though the ratio isn’t so quick as to feel too twitchy for such a big, tall sport/utility. This is a comfortable, well-balanced SUV that will suit a family with a sportier, more enthusiast-oriented car on the other side of the garage.
Donna was happy to find that the front passenger seat, like the driver’s seat, has power lumbar support, a feature all too rare, even in luxury models. We ran the front seat coolers on the way up to Lake George. Interior materials and fit-and-finish are state-of-the-art for a brand offering luxury at a commodity price, with rich-looking padding on the dashboard and better-than-average plastic finish on the lower parts of the doors. The Traverse has a lot of convenient storage, including a hidden compartment behind the power-operated radio/navigation screen and a deep compartment under the cargo load floor that’s good for carrying food right under the dogs’ paws. Our $47,930 Chevy Traverse Premier Redline is priced up there with Buick Enclaves and Infiniti QX60s, though the base Traverse starts at $30,875, and the popular Traverse LT with cloth seats begins at $35,495.
We enjoyed the Bose Premium 10-speaker hi-fi, standard with the Premium trim, listening to a mix of public radio and XM channel 67, but we didn’t bother with Apple CarPlay (what are we going to do – call each other?) nor the OnStar or 4G LTE wi-fi hotspot. Longer trips, maybe. Everything operates by touchscreen, though. Chevrolet eschewed the tuning knob in the new Traverse, as well as the Equinox, which makes finding that out-of-town radio station too distracting.
We did use the navigation system and its eight-inch color touchscreen on Saturday night to find a restaurant in Cadillac. The navigation took us out of our way by maybe half a mile, through a closed-loop cul de sac in our lake area community, before directing us to the town about 35 miles away.
On Sunday morning, I drove to a dirt road near our cabin, where there’s some deep sand on parts of the mile-long stretch that goes unplowed during wintertime. I could have had some fun with the twin-clutch Advanced AWD system that disconnects the propshaft for better fuel efficiency. It’s standard on the new top-of-the-range $52,995-base Traverse High Country.
The High Country’s Advanced AWD has four driver-selectable modes (our FWD model came with three; standard, snow-mode and trailer, of which Traverse can tow up to 5,000 pounds). In AWD off-road mode, the system turns the Chevy Traverse High Country into something of a rally car around dirt-road corners, “like a WRX,” says chief engineer Perelli. For me, with my FWD Premier Redline, the road made only a decent photo-op.
It acquitted itself well back in Metro Detroit Monday, when I subjected the SUV to my standard local cloverleaf of right-turn sweepers. There’s no wallow to accompany the soft, comfortable ride, and the SUV steers through such turns with mild, predictable understeer and moderate yaw. You can go sufficiently fast without alerting any stability control nannies, unlike, say the segment-leading Ford Explorer with its overly intrusive Curve Control.
The Traverse’s steering initially required a bit of mid-curve correction. Even with 266 pound-feet going to the front wheels, there was no detectable torque-steer. I heard and felt the un-defeatable stop/start start up just once, on the way back to the office from this modest handling exercise. Otherwise, the fuel-saving feature was undetectable without an eye on the tachometer. It’s the best stop/start in the business.
The three-hour drive back to Metro Detroit a day earlier was uneventful in a good way, even with traffic jams south on 127 and east on 96 as other weekenders tried to get home. Yes, it’s a drive-and-forget sort of vehicle, with a plethora of entertainment options for three-hour-plus trips, with the best-looking styling in the segment. By Monday, I had driven the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse Premier Redline more than 600 miles, the last 256.7 off a fill-up in Cadillac. Indicated fuel mileage was 25.3 mpg at an average speed of 46.7 mph, but by my calculation (and with three or four extra clicks on the regular unleaded pump), I averaged 23.9 mpg. I returned the Traverse to Chevy with the weekend’s bugs and dirt washed off, and just about all of the fur vacuumed from the interior.

First Drive: 2018 Chevrolet Traverse Premier
LAKE GEORGE, Michigan — The first-generation Chevrolet Traverse represented a brand and its corporation in transition, having launched the model year before General Motors’ bankruptcy. American families were starting to trade in truck-based sport/utility vehicles like the Chevy TrailBlazer for more carlike unibody front-wheel-drive-based SUVs. Ten years later, Chevrolet is stepping up its game in this segment, taking on leaders like the best-selling Ford Explorer, as well as the likes of the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Toyota Highlander, Hyundai Santa Fe and Honda Pilot, all of which are more popular than the Traverse. Even Chevrolet’s bigger, traditional Chevy Tahoe/Suburban combo outsold Traverse by more than 46,000 units last year.
So the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse and its smaller compact sibling, the Equinox, are two key models in Chevy’s goal of becoming America’s number-one brand again. That means it must first catch Toyota, and then Ford, the latter of which outsold Chevrolet by nearly 391,000 units last year.
To drive its competitive points home, Chevy offered journalists a chance to take their families to various Michigan resorts (yes, we have them) for the weekend in order to best enjoy the Traverse’s qualities. No one among Automobile’s Detroit Bureau-based staff has kids, but my wife, Donna, and I have three collies in our family. We took up Chevy on its offer of a new Traverse for the weekend, and turned down the resort lodging offered as our destination in favor of our newly purchased, dog-friendly cabin off Lake George in the north-central part of the state, about 180 miles away.
There will be fur.
Outside, the new Traverse shares Chevy’s very handsome design language and its coke-bottle body forms with the new Equinox. The two SUVs recall the organic, fuselage-style profiles of Chevy’s glory years in the 1960s and early ‘70s. Chevy says that the all-new Traverse is only slightly larger than the first model, with a 2.0-inch longer wheelbase and a slight increase in overall length, but significantly more interior space.
“We wanted the feeling and the presence of a truck,” says designer Rich Scheer. It has ‘Tahoe DNA’—more SUV than CUV, he says.
I think the new Chevy Traverse looks much sleeker, tighter and less people-mover-like than the old Traverse.

The Hyundai Tucson is a compact crossover SUV produced by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai since 2004. In the marque’s lineup, the Tucson fits below the Santa Fe and Veracruz. It is named after the city of Tucson, Arizona. 2017 Hyundai Tucson is in its Third generation.
The Tucson features rear exterior details and lighting that enhances its design and adds to your visibility. A brilliant combination of available LED taillights and twin, bevel-cut chrome exhaust tips plus a standard rear spoiler is sure to leave an impression.
Once you’re in the Tucson, look up—all you’ll see is open sky. The available panoramic sunroof extends from the front seats to the back, bringing in light, fresh air and bliss.
Imagine what you could see with a lighting system that moves as you do. Well, that’s the idea behind Tucson’s available HID headlights with Dynamic Bending Light. It’s designed to turn the headlights with the direction of the curve as you turn the steering wheel. Very illuminating.
Whatever the weather, hot or cold, Tucson offers features that protect you from the elements and even the paparazzi. Front solar glass keeps the glaring sun at bay while the rear privacy glass keeps wandering eyes from intruding. When the air turns frosty you’ll appreciate heated side mirrors with available turn-signal indicators, all done up to match the color of your vehicle.
The standard 17-inch alloy wheels and available 19-inch alloys were both designed to complement the Tucson’s sleek, European-inspired exterior.
This available feature makes loading and unloading your Tucson more convenient. The Hands-free Smart Liftgate opens automatically when it senses the Proximity Key is behind the vehicle within three feet for more than three seconds.
