The CX-9 Grand Touring/Signature has a standard heads-up display which projects speed and other key instrumentation readouts in front of the driver's line of sight, allowing drivers to view information without diverting their eyes from the road. The Traverse doesn't offer a heads-up display.
The CX-9's front and rear power windows all open or close fully with one touch of the switches, making it more convenient at drive-up windows and toll booths, or when talking with someone outside the car. The Traverse's power window switches have to be held the entire time to close them fully. Only its driver's window opens automatically. With the Traverse's optional power windows, only the driver's window closes automatically and only the front windows open automatically.
Advanced Keyless Entry and Start standard on the CX-9 Touring/Grand Touring/Signature allows you to unlock the driver's door, cargo door and start the engine all without removing a key from pocket or purse. This eliminates searching for keys before loading groceries, getting in the vehicle in bad weather or making a hurried start to your trip. The Chevrolet Traverse doesn't offer an advanced key system.
The CX-9 has a standard locking fuel door with a remote release located convenient to the driver. A locking fuel door helps prevent vandalism, such as sugar in the tank and fuel theft. The Traverse doesn't offer a locking fuel door.
The CX-9's optional wipers adjust their speed and turn on and off automatically according to the amount of rainfall on the windshield. The Traverse's manually variable intermittent wipers have to be constantly adjusted.
To improve rear visibility by keeping the rear window clear, the CX-9 has a standard rear fixed intermittent wiper with a full on position. The rear wiper standard on the Traverse only has an intermittent setting, so in a hard rain visibility isn't as good.
While driving with high beams on, sensitive light sensors standard on the CX-9 Grand Touring/Signature detect other vehicles which could be blinded and automatically switch to low beams. The Traverse doesn't offer automatic dimming high beams.
To help drivers see further while navigating curves, the CX-9 Grand Touring/Signature has standard adaptive headlights to illuminate around corners automatically by reading vehicle speed and steering wheel angle. The Traverse doesn't offer cornering lights.
The CX-9 has a standard dual zone air conditioning allows the driver and front passenger to choose two completely different temperatures so people with different temperature preferences won't have to compromise. This makes both the driver and front passenger as comfortable as possible. Dual zone air conditioning costs extra on the Traverse and isn't available on the Traverse LS.
The CX-9's standard automatic temperature control maintains the temperature you set, automatically controlling fan speed, vents and temperature to maintain a consistent, comfortable environment. The Traverse LS doesn't offer automatic air conditioning.
To keep a safe, consistent following distance, the CX-9 Grand Touring/Signature has a standard Radar Cruise Control, which alters the speed of the vehicle without driver intervention. This allows the driver to use cruise control more safely without constantly having to disengage it when approaching slower traffic. The Traverse doesn't offer an adaptive cruise control.
