Dimensions
One of the nice things about the Traverse, is that it is more spacious than the Highlander. This vehicle is designed to provide you with an exceptional interior experience, and the vehicle beats the Highlander in many key areas. For starters, the wheelbase of the Traverse is 120.9 inches compared to 109.8 on the Highlander. You'll also get a larger width on the exterior of the Traverse with 78.6 inches instead of 75.8. You'll also get a bit more height on the Traverse with 70.7 inches instead of 68.1 inches. Overall, the length is more significant too, with 204.3 inches compared to 192.5 inches on the Highlander. This extra bit of room is reflected in the interior of the vehicle, and you'll notice it when you're driving. In all, this amounts to more headroom, front shoulder room, hip room, second row head room, and third row leg room. The cargo volume on the Traverse is also more significant with 98.2 cubic feet on the Traverse compared to the 83.7 cubic inches on the Highlander.

Exterior/Interior Features
There are many similarities between the exterior and interior features of the Traverse and the Highlander, but it's where these two vehicles diverge that really matters. Both vehicles come with rear defrost, privacy glass, power windows and optional running boards. The Traverse wins out in the fact that you can get front and rear performance tires as an option, while the Highlander only offers all-season tires on the base model. There is also an optional entertainment system that is not available on the Highlander, and you'll get smart device integration on the base model of the Traverse as standard equipment. The vehicle also comes with dual zone air conditioning on all models and you'll love the climate control system in the Traverse compared to the simpler options on the base level Highlander. Another nice standard feature in the base level model of the Traverse is the fact that you'll get onboard, hands-free communications systems as standard equipment.

Powertrain
The base level model of the Traverse features an all-wheel drive system that provides more stability when driving. The comparable Highlander model only offers front wheel drive. The engine on the Traverse is also more impressive, and you'll get a V6 3.6-liter engine that provides 310 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque. The comparable Highlander trim only comes with a four-cylinder 2.7-liter engine that provides 185 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. While both vehicles have their pros and cons, we think the better engine on the Traverse makes it a much better value. We feel that the transmission on the Traverse also provides a more stable drive and better overall performance.
