2024/2025 Chevy Traverse RS vs GMC Acadia Denali vs Buick Enclave Avenir | Feature & Pricing!

[@dsw.808]

This was great. Equinox, Terrain, and Envision would be a great one to see, too!

[@CarsMadeSimple]

Waiting to see information about the 2025 Terrain but we should know more shortly!

One thing that the Buick has over the other two is brake auto hold. (You can see it next to the parking brake in the Buick photo). I don't have it in my Tahoe, but my wife has it on her Palisade. It makes a huge difference when sitting in traffic at a light, especially for me after having dislocated my right knee. To not have to sit with my foot on the brake in my wife's car makes such a difference. I'm sure it wouldn't cost GM much to add it into all their cars.

Thanks for putting this together. I had gone through a lot of this yesterday using the build pages for these models. Nice to see it summed up in one place though.

[@daltonlikesbiscotti]

The Enclave looks the best

[@tyjohnson9080]

I hope they make the Cadillac XT6 the same size as these! That when uld be a slam DUNK!

[@rexvaughn986]

This was an extremely helpful video.

[@CarsMadeSimple]

Appreciate it!

Can you option the Traverse LT to only get what you want (including SuperCruise and second row bench but skip the sunroof)?

[@jeff5575]

Yes you can!

[@danslink]

Without a doubt the best "value" is the Traverse, as it always has been. However, I cannot stand to look at those ridiculous 22" black wheels and realize it is the only option! Really, black only!! I, for one, am tired of this "police cruiser" look we have adapted as "modern"! The Acadia allow you to pick and choose options as you like them, something that GMC has done for years better than either Chevrolet or Buick divisions. For me, the Buick gets the nod for luxury, for looking like luxury, not like a "rock crawler" like the Traverse. To their credit, GM has done a good job making each of these three row SUV's unique. We've loved our 2018 Traverse Premier, but there is no Traverse in our future.

Is the Acadia Denali option for performance suspension is the damping adjusted like the Enclave? Also what's up with GM not giving the memory seats to anything other than top trims to these triplet? I was very interested in either AT4 or the Z71 until found out neither of them can have memory seats!!!!!!!!!! and only AT4 can have ventilated front seats. This is a deal breaker for me

[@Huggybear101]

I was looking at the same issues. Regarding pricing, local Chevy/GM dealers have 5K markups on Traverse models. I'm in Maryland. That's insane.

[@rexvaughn986]

Is there a hard button to turn on the front or 360 cameras for parking on any of these models?

[@CarsMadeSimple]

I don't believe so. If I recall there is a shortcut through the controls page on the touchscreen.

[@chadmark88]

I'm someone who would never use the "Super Cruise", and I don't want to have to pay for it. I've noticed when building these SUV's on the internet, there usually is a package I would want that also includes the "Super Cruise" - which would make me look at a different choice. It looks like the Enclave doesn't have separate switches ( NOT in the screen ) for the heated/cooled seats - bad idea. I also don't like the way MANY of the manufacturers are "tacking on" what looks like a long tablet, stuck INTO the top of the dash. I saw a vehicle recently ( I don't remember which one ) that had built a housing around the big screen - that looked MUCH better and integrated into the dash. I owned an Enclave a few years ago, and loved it, it rode much smoother than the Envision Avenir I currently own. ( I might have to go back to the Enclave next time, as long as they don't change too many of the things I like about it )

[@CarsMadeSimple]

Thanks for taking the time to comment!

[@Maxwell1989]

I would get super cruise and you're missing out buddy

[@chadmark88]

@@Maxwell1989 I've had my current car for over three years and it's never been on a road where I could use ANY kind of cruise control.

[@KittyHawk71]

Are all three of these the same dimensions? Mostly interested in luggage space.

[@CarsMadeSimple]

All are very similar, yes. Styling and features are the biggest differences.

[@Maxwell1989]

Does the traverse have auto hold feature ?

[@Conz1331]

$65k ? 4cylinder turbo noise will enhance your Bose experience and will die three years from now.

[@Arthur96001]

Do any models have fog lights?

[@CarsMadeSimple]

I believe the Acadia would be the only one to have fog lights

[@setsunaes]

AWD Traverse RS is a no brainer.

[@danielramsey1959]

Not interested in a 4 cylinder turbo engine.

[@grouchosays]

I’m trying to figure this out. What’s the problem with the engine?
