2021 Chevrolet Traverse Vs. 2021 GMC Acadia

A three-dimensional SUV as big as the GMC Yukon or the Chevrolet Suburban is not for everyone, but General Motors offers the GMC Acadia and Chevrolet Traverse as two crossovers with different uses. While the Acadia is more like a mid-size SUV, the Traverse is more like a high-speed minivan than a typical SUV. Here is a comparison between the 2021 Chevrolet Traverse and the 2021 GMC Acadia based on various parameters.

Differences between the 2021 Chevrolet Traverse and 2021 GMC Acadia:

1. Crash Test Evaluation– In the crash tests of the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), the Acadia surpasses the traverse by a hair. Both vehicles received the highest possible five-star overall rating for safety and side impact. Both SUVs received four stars in the rollover tests customary for SUVs. The Acadia, however, received five stars in frontal crash tests, compared to four for the traverse.
2. Easier to Park– Put simply, the Acadia is 193.4 inches long and 112.5 inches of wheelbase, smaller than the Traverse, more compact than the Traverse, which is 204.3 inches long with a 120.9 inch wheelbase and narrower at 75.4 inches. against 78.6 inches. The Acadia measures 66.7 inches taller than the truss, which measures 70.7 inches. All of these make parking the Acadia easier in tight spaces, low garages, or traffic jams. The surprisingly precise steering and tight handling of the Acadia help here.
3. Interior Room– While the third row seat on the 2021 Acadia is sufficient for a vehicle of this size, it’s not as roomy as the one in the traverse. The Acadia’s legroom in the third row is 29.7 inches, which is significantly smaller than the 33.5 inches of the traverse. The third row has 37.2 inches of headroom compared to 38.2 inches for the 2021. The Acadia offers more legroom in the second row than the truss at 39.7 inches versus 38 inches.4 inches. The Acadia has 39.6 inches of second row headroom while the cross-beam is 40 inches. The front two rows of passengers in both SUVs will be comfortable, but those in the third row will appreciate the capacity of the traverse.
4. Fuel Economy– Acadia’s 3.6-liter V6 is the same engine that comes standard on the Traverse. It gets 19/27 MPG in FWD (Front-Wheel-Drive) and 19/26 MPG in AWD (all-wheel drive) in the Acadia, which is better despite the same setup for the traverse, it delivers 18/27 MPG in FWD and 17/25 MPG in AWD.
5. Cargo Space– The 2021 Chevrolet Traverse dwarfs the 2021 GMC Acadia in terms of cargo space. While the Acadia offers just 12.8 cubic seats with all seats up, the Traverse nearly doubles this to 23 cubic feet.
6. Engines– The 2021 Chevrolet Traverse is available with a single 3.6 liter engine connected to a 9-speed automatic transmission that produces 310 hp of power and 266 lbs.-ft of torque. On the other hand, the 2021 GMC Acadia is available with three engine options, as given below:

Engine	Power (hp)	Torque (lbs.-ft)	Transmission
2.5 liter, 4 cylinder	193	188	9-speed automatic
3.6 liter V6	310	271	9-speed automatic
2.0 liter turbocharged (SLT and Denali trims)	230	258	9-speed automatic

If the third row is not a major requirement, the Traverse offers better acceleration and more interior room.
