There is no shortage of three-row SUVs on the market right now, and while that provides shoppers with many options, it can also make it tough to narrow down the field and find just the right model for you. In your research for a three-row crossover, you’ve surely come across the 2020 GMC Acadia and the 2020 Chevrolet Traverse, and they can seem similar at first glance. However, a closer comparison reveals that there is a clear winner in this matchup. Let’s compare the 2020 GMC Acadia and the 2020 Chevrolet Traverse to see which you should choose.
With a car as big as the Acadia or the Traverse, it’s important to consider both the power and the fuel efficiency to ensure that you’re getting exactly what you need when you get behind the wheel. There are three engines available for the 2020 GMC Acadia – a 2.5-liter I4 engine, a 2.0-liter turbocharged I4, and a 3.6-liter V6 that offer ample power and quick acceleration.
On the other hand, the Traverse has only a 3.6-liter V6 that has less power and less horsepower than the Acadia’s V6 engine. The 2020 Acadia also beats the Traverse in fuel efficiency estimates, too.
Though both SUVs have a similar features list, the Acadia has several advantages that you’ll want to consider. To start, it offers a larger base driver information display at 4.2 inches versus the Traverse’s 3.5-inch display, with the 4.2-inch option only available in upper trim levels. The information displayed on this screen is vital, so you’ll want to ensure you’re able to see it easily while you drive.
Additionally, the Acadia has an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment center that beats the Traverse’s 7-inch screen. A larger screen is not only easier to see, but easier to use while you’re on the go. Finally, while both vehicles offer a cabin humidity control system, only the Acadia offers an additional air filtration system as a standard feature, keeping your cabin clean and pure.
The 2020 GMC Acadia and the 2020 Chevy Traverse have nearly identical driver assistance features due to the fact that they are General Motors cousins. However, the 2020 Acadia has a more concise trim list which means that the features are more available in lower trim levels. Standard options on both vehicles are a rear seat occupancy reminder, a rearview camera, and a Teen Driver function that allows you to deactivate customizable settings with the key fob to encourage better driving behavior, limit features, and activate any available safety features. The Teen Driver function will also generate a driving report card to help you instill good habits in your new driver.
