Power: 60 More Horsepower Under the Hood

Every 2027 Traverse uses a 2.5-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine rated at 328 hp. The QX60 makes 268 hp. That gives the Traverse a 60 hp advantage.

More power helps most when the SUV is full. Merging onto a highway with every row filled and the bags loaded feels easier with extra muscle on tap. The Traverse pairs its engine with an 8-speed automatic, and all-wheel drive is standard on every trim.

Automatic Stop/Start helps trim fuel use in stop-and-go traffic. A heavy-duty cooling system comes standard, and an engine block heater is available for cold starts.

Cargo Space: The Traverse Out-Hauls the QX60 Everywhere

This is where the Traverse pulls far ahead. Behind the third row, it holds 648 L. The QX60 holds 411 L. That is 237 L more space with every seat in use, enough for a stroller and a full grocery run at once.

The Traverse cargo floor also stretches 1,409 mm behind the second row. Long items like golf bags and flat-pack furniture lie flat.
