Comparing the 2021 Dodge Durango vs 2021 Chevy Traverse

The Dodge Durango and Chevy Traverse are rugged three-row crossovers that can handle heavy-duty workloads as well as daily driving. Let's find out whether the 2021 Dodge Durango is better than the 2021 Chevy Traverse.

Performance and Power

The Durango SRT 392 offers a 6.4-liter V-8 SRT HEMI engine that delivers a whopping 475 horsepower, which is far more powerful than the Traverse High Country's top-level 310-horsepower engine. Even better, while the high-end High Country trim level on the Traverse comes with a 21.7-gallon fuel tank, even the base-level Durango is equipped with a 24.6-gallon gas tank for fewer trips to the gas station.

Cabin Design and Comfort

When it comes to a luxurious cabin, the Durango also takes the contest. While the top-level Traverse High Country offers eight-way power driver's seat adjustment including lumbar support, it doesn't match the Durango. Starting at the Citadel trim, the Durango offers a 12-way power-adjustable driver's seat including height adjustment, power recline, and cushion tilt, plus four-way lumbar support. The top-level Durango also offers embroidered Nappa upholstery for a real sense of luxury.

Safety Features

If you want the best safety features for your Chevy Traverse, you will need to navigate a range of optional add-on packages that each carry an additional cost and may also add features you don't necessarily want. The Durango, on the other hand, offers features like front and rear parking sensors, front crash warning and mitigation, blind-spot monitoring, and cross-traffic alerts, all economical and built into the trim levels without needing extra packages.

There's no question: The 2021 Dodge Durango is the winner.
