Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Chevrolet Traverse than in the Toyota 4Runner. The Chevrolet Traverse will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Toyota 4Runner.

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). When looking only at MSRP, the Chevrolet Traverse will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Toyota 4Runner.

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Traverse is much wider than the Toyota 4Runner, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Chevrolet Traverse, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Toyota 4Runner.

Performance
The Chevrolet Traverse has a little more horsepower than the Toyota 4Runner.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Chevrolet Traverse transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Toyota 4Runner.

Utility
Soccer Moms and those who need to chauffeur around a lot of people will appreciate the Chevrolet Traverse more than the Toyota 4Runner, due to its significantly greater seating capacity. The Chevrolet Traverse has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Toyota 4Runner.
