Comparison Review

Comfort
The Chevrolet Traverse offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the GMC Yukon XL, 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 XL.

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 XL, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
The Chevrolet Traverse is a little narrower than the GMC Yukon XL, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. If you go with the Chevrolet Traverse, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the GMC Yukon XL.

Performance
The Chevrolet Traverse has a little less horsepower than the GMC Yukon XL.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Chevrolet Traverse doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the GMC Yukon XL.

Utility
The Chevrolet Traverse offers greater seating capacity than the GMC Yukon XL, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around. The Chevrolet Traverse has significantly less cargo capacity than the GMC Yukon XL.
