The 2024 Chevy Traverse and 2024 GMC Acadia are quite similar. Both crossovers debut the first model year for their respective third generation, both ride on the GM C1-2 platform, both feature the turbocharged 2.5L I4 LK0 gasoline engine, and both are assembled at the GM Lansing Delta Township plant in Michigan. That said, there are several key differences as well. With that in mind, GM Authority is covering what’s different between the 2024 Chevy Traverse and 2024 GMC Acadia.
2024 Chevy Traverse
2024 GMC Acadia
Let’s start with the trim levels. While both models offer an off-road-focused variant (Z71 and AT4 for the Chevy and GMC, respectively), the 2024 Chevy Traverse is available in a sporty variant (RS), while the 2024 GMC Acadia gets a more luxury-minded variant (Denali). Additionally, the Traverse offers four trim levels total, including the affordable LS, whereas the Acadia offers three trims without an equivalent entry-level model. The Traverse LS and LT start at $38,995 and $41,395 respectively, while the Acadia Elevation starts at $43,995 (all prices including the destination freight charge).
When it comes to technology, the Traverse features a 17.7-inch horizontally oriented infotainment system touchscreen, while the Acadia features a 15-inch vertically oriented touchscreen. The Traverse also includes a basic six-speaker audio system (RPO code UQF) as standard with a Bose Premium 10-speaker system (RPO code UQA) offered as optional, whereas the Acadia offers a Bose Premium 12-speaker system as standard (RPO code UQF) and an optional Bose Performance 16-speaker system (RPO code UQP).

2024 GMC Acadia AT4
Seating configurations also differ between the two models. The base Traverse LS offers eight-passenger seating, while the LT, Z71, and RS trims provide seven-passenger seating. By comparison, the Acadia includes seven-passenger seating as standard across all trims. Additionally, the Traverse only offers the heated wiper park (RPO code CMO) feature on the RS trim level, while the Acadia offers it as an option on the Elevation and AT4 trims, and standard on the Denali.
Finally, with regard to interior materials, the Traverse offers premium cloth seats in the LS and LT trims, with Evotex simulated leather and perforated leather as an available option. The Acadia, however, uses CoreTec as the standard material, with perforated leather available as an option, but no cloth seats. Notably, Evotex and CoreTec are the same material.

Thank for confirming Evotex and CoreTec are the same. I suspected it, but wasn’t 100% sure.
When will the 3.0L diesel be offered? Much better mileage and torque.
Bring back the V6. No one wants a 4 banger in that size vehicle.
Everyone does when it provides was better power than the rev happy V6. The turbo 4 is better fit for this vehicle than the V6 ever was, glad it is gone. This torque happy motor is a better match for a heavy vehicle that spends its time in the city and highway.
What do you have against the turbo 4? Same HP, way more torque much further down. Runs on 87, built like a tank so longevity won’t be an issue. So what is it? Are you just uninformed?
TMI, they’re already running into Transmission and some Engine concerns. Could it be the new engineering. If V6 served them well, why did they change it?
TMI is obviously on GM payroll, spouting the GM talking points. I would think from Marketing.
It’s very noisy the engine seems very noisy
Very disappointed in GM. My dad worked for them for 32 years and I always drove GM vehicles but 2 2019 Chevrolet vehicles have let me down a Traverse with non functional A/C with 60K miles due to corrosion of the rear A/C lines and a Tahoe with 70K miles has the same issue and also had to have a 7K transmission replacement and none was covered under warranty. What happened to the company my dad worked for ? I have a 20 year old Grand Cherokee with 200K miles and ice cold 36 DEGREES AT THE VENTS A/C shame on GM
so exactly who gets the larger screen? Why Acadia gets 15 inch and traverse gets 17.7 as gmc brand supposed to be a more premium brand and more expensive should be better spec? But in reality I feel the 15 inch is actually larger since it is more square shaped
The standard for measuring screen size is the diagonal (same with computers, phones, etc). So yes, a square screen can have more area than a ‘larger’ rectangular one.
