Consumer Video: 2024 Chevrolet Traverse; Are Flooded EVs a Fire Hazard? | Talking Cars with Consumer Reports #456
Exclusive CR discount for Talking Cars viewers at https://www.cr.org/jointalkingcars
We recently purchased a 2024 Chevrolet Traverse LT AWD for testing. In this episode, we share our first impressions of the four-cylinder turbo engine, infotainment usability, and whether the Traverse works as a family hauler compared to the Kia Telluride, Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot, and Hyundai Palisade. And, with recent hurricanes hitting the U.S., we discuss whether a flooded electric vehicle is more prone to becoming a fire hazard and if there are specific steps an owner should take to break in a hybrid car, truck, or SUV.

The redesigned 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC remains a competitive entry among compact luxury SUVs. It offers good fuel economy, a quiet and well-made cabin, and comfortable seats. However, its unintuitive touch-sensitive controls can detract from the driving experience. The GLC still earned a decent road test score, and there is a lot to like about this SUV.
