Comparison Review

Comfort
The Chevrolet Traverse offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the GMC Yukon, with comparable head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Chevrolet Traverse and the GMC Yukon.

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). Clearly, the Chevrolet Traverse is a better financial choice over the GMC Yukon, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
The Chevrolet Traverse is a little narrower than the GMC Yukon, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. The Chevrolet Traverse is slightly shorter than the GMC Yukon, which may make it easier to park.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Chevrolet Traverse has a lot less horsepower than the GMC Yukon.

Powertrain
The Chevrolet Traverse has much lower torque than the GMC Yukon, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
The Chevrolet Traverse has less seating than the GMC Yukon, making the GMC Yukon the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The Chevrolet Traverse has significantly less cargo capacity than the GMC Yukon.
