Both the Buick Enclave and Chevrolet Traverse have been redesigned, but just how different are the two second generation large SUVs? See them side by side.
Enclave
Traverse
Both the second-generation Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave are big cars. They both ride on a 120.9-inch (3,070mm) wheelbase, and are 204.3 inches (5,189mm) long. Stylistically a lot more different than their predecessors. The Enclave is once again rounder, but this time around its elegant details and Opel-inspired design make it a far more upscale and appealing proposition than the squarer Traverse.

The unbroken side window line and rounder shapes make the Buick Enclave seem less mammoth than the Traverse, even though they're practically the same size.

Again, the Traverse is an pleasant place to be, but the Buick is nicer. The sweeping forms, again taken from the Opel design book, break up the sheer vastness of the interior space.
Enclave
Traverse
Although both cars are the same size, only the Traverse can be specified as an eight seater in a 2+3+3 layout. The Buick Enclave is only available in seven-seat configuration with a 2+2+3 setup.

Round versus square again. Either way, there's plenty of LEDs to go around.

The Enclave is only available with a 3.6-litre V6 with 302hp (225kW) and 260 lb-ft (353Nm) with a nine-speed automatic, while the Traverse also has this combination as standard, but also offers a 2-liter turbo four-cylinder in the sportier RS model.
