Traverse vs Enclave: Big Enough for the Whole Family

The 2020 Chevy Traverse classifies as a mid-size SUV with an expansive, family-friendly cabin. This model can handle between seven and eight passengers with 41.0 inches of front-seat legroom and 38.4 inches of second-row legroom.

Unfortunately, the 2020 Buick Enclave’s much smaller build can only accommodate up to five passengers inside the cabin. Additionally, you’ll only get 40.82 inches of front-seat legroom and 35.75 inches of second-row legroom, a significant squeeze for adult passengers.

The Traverse also dominates the Enclave in terms of cargo space. In total, the Traverse offers 98.2 total cubic feet of cargo space. The Enclave gives you less than half of that with a total cargo room rating of 48.4 cubic feet with the rear seats folded.

Traverse vs Enclave: Power & Performance Done Right

Under the hood of the 2020 Chevy Traverse, you’ll find a powerful 3.6L V6 engine that makes a whopping 310 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque. With this kind of power, you’ll be able to move up to 5,000 pounds of trailer weight when the vehicle is properly equipped.

Additionally, you’ll be able to venture onto the roads less traveled  with this model’s available all-wheel drive system and Traction Mode Select system. Switch between four unique drive modes to conquer what’s ahead.

The Enclave also offers an available all-wheel drive system to take you off the pavement on an adventure. But you’ll have to pick and choose what comes along with you because you’ll only have interior cargo space to cart things with. This model’s 1.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine makes just 138 horsepower resulting in a nonexistent towing capacity.

Traverse vs Enclave: Tech Features Ready for Anything

The only arena in which the 2020 Chevy Traverse and the 2020 Buick Enclave have commonality is features. Both offer intuitive touchscreen infotainment systems with Bluetooth®, available smartphone integration, turn-by-turn navigation, satellite radio, and much more.

The Traverse eventually rises above the Enclave, though. With the available HD Surround Vision camera system and Rear Camera Mirror, you’ll never have to question your surroundings. The best the Buick Enclave can do is a standard Rear Vision Camera, which offers limited visibility as compared to the Traverse’s various options.

2020 Chevy Traverse vs Buick Enclave: The Verdict

As you can see, the 2020 Chevy Traverse goes above and beyond in ways that the 2020 Buick Enclave simply can’t.
