Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the Cadillac Escalade than the Chevrolet Traverse. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Cadillac Escalade and the Chevrolet Traverse.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Cadillac Escalade will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Chevrolet Traverse, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The Cadillac Escalade is a little wider than the Chevrolet Traverse, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Cadillac Escalade, which is slightly longer than the Chevrolet Traverse.

Performance
The Cadillac Escalade has a little more horsepower than the Chevrolet Traverse.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Cadillac Escalade does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Chevrolet Traverse.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Cadillac Escalade and the Chevrolet Traverse. The Cadillac Escalade has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Chevrolet Traverse.
