Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Chevrolet Traverse than in the Genesis GV80. 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 Genesis GV80.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Chevrolet Traverse as you will with the Genesis GV80, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

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 Genesis GV80.

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Traverse is much wider than the Genesis GV80, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Chevrolet Traverse, which is slightly longer than the Genesis GV80.

Performance
The Chevrolet Traverse has a little more horsepower than the Genesis GV80.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Chevrolet Traverse transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Genesis GV80.

Utility
The Chevrolet Traverse offers greater seating capacity than the Genesis GV80, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around.
