Both the GMC Acadia and the Chevrolet Traverse are all-new for the 2024 model year, as redesigns bring fresh features and more cargo space to the table. Big adventures beyond Archbald and Scranton await when you travel in an all-new 2024 GMC Acadia. But how does this GMC SUV for sale in Enyon compare to another three-row SUV like the Chevy Traverse? Compare these new SUVs before getting seated in the all-new Acadia at Enyon GMC.
GMC Acadia vs. Chevrolet Traverse Seating
These three-row SUVs can seat seven or eight passengers. Both SUVs offer second-row captain's chairs. When you buy a new GMC Acadia in Enyon, you can choose a seven- or eight-passenger configuration.
While the Chevrolet Traverse has 44 inches of first-row legroom, the new GMC Acadia provides class-leading front-row legroom. Any driver or passenger riding shotgun has more space to stretch their legs on rides from Carbondale, PA to Scranton.
Chevrolet's SUV is missing a luxurious model like the Denali. GMC Acadia Denali SUVs give Dunmore families access to exclusive premium features, including heated and ventilated leather seats.
GMC Acadia vs. Chevrolet Traverse Cargo Space
These new SUVs mirror one another in cargo space figures. The Chevrolet Traverse used to be more spacious, but that's no longer the case. By becoming taller and wider — and by adding 11 inches to its wheelbase — the redesigned GMC Acadia is roomier and sees a 24% cargo capacity increase. This ups the GMC Acadia's max cargo volume to 98 cubic feet, matching the Chevrolet Traverse.
Both models are GM SUVs, which is why they each come with 23 cubic feet of storage behind the rear seats. For the all-new 2024 GMC Acadia, this is an 80% increase. By adding 13 cubic feet, the new GMC Acadia has a cavernous cargo hold to help you run errands around Scranton.
GMC Acadia vs. Chevrolet Traverse Performance
Engines
As GM SUVs, the Traverse and Acadia share the same powertrain — a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. Both the Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia deliver 328 horsepower and 326 pound-feet of torque. This is a significant performance increase for the new GMC Acadia, which eliminates its V6 powertrain for the 2024 model year.
Fuel Economy
While fuel economy ratings for these redesigned three-row SUVs have yet to be released, the powertrain shakeup for the Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia will result in more fuel-efficient travels between Archbald and Scranton.
Towing
With a new GMC Acadia, Carbondale, PA drivers can pull trailers up to 5,000 pounds. This matches the Chevy Traverse's maximum towing capacity.
GMC Acadia vs. Chevrolet Traverse Off-Roading
The AT4 has been GMC's signature off-road model for years. Now, the Traverse is trying to copy that through the first-ever Z71 model, which features an off-road suspension, all-wheel drive with twin clutch, and Terrain Mode.
The legendary off-roader is the GMC Acadia AT4, which will appeal to Archbald adventurers. They have access to Terrain Mode through the Traction Select System, and Active Torque Control with AWD is a superior all-wheel drive system. Acadia AT4 models also have off-road-tuned suspensions.
GMC Acadia vs. Chevrolet Traverse Technology
While the Chevy Traverse comes with a 17.7-inch diagonal color touchscreen, the GMC Acadia has a large screen of its own. The premium GMC Infotainment System includes a 15-inch diagonal display that's larger than ever before.
There are more connectivity options for Carbondale, PA travelers riding in a new GMC Acadia, which features Google built-in. This setup provides access to Google Maps, Google Play, and Google Assistant — all on the go.
Shared technology features for these new SUVs include wireless Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™ integration, Driver Information Centers with 11-inch diagonal displays, and Bose® premium audio systems. The Chevy Traverse has fewer speakers, though. As you ride from Enyon to Scranton, your GMC Acadia enriches sound through 12 speakers. Enjoy 16 speakers in a GMC Acadia Denali.
GMC Acadia vs. Chevrolet Traverse Safety
Super Cruise™ is a shared driver-assistance feature. That means you can drive your GMC Acadia hands-free on I-476 around Scranton. With 15 standard safety features, the GMC Acadia watches out for Dunmore drivers in Scranton traffic. That's more safety features than what the Traverse offers through Chevy Safety Assist, which packages seven driver-assist technologies.
The Chevrolet Traverse is missing a head-up display. The GMC Acadia's 8-inch head-up display is configurable, so Carbondale, PA drivers can choose the information projected onto their SUV's windshield. While the Chevrolet Traverse does add new active safety features, Speed Limit Assist and Traffic Sign Recognition are exclusive to the GMC Acadia.
