Performance

The Traverse is standard with a V6 engine paired to a smooth nine-speed automatic transmission that makes good use of its 310 horsepower. The engine also has a stop-start feature that saves on fuel. The Traverse is capable of towing up to 5,000 pounds if properly equipped.

With this engine, the Traverse has accessible power and reliable shifts for around-town driving as well as passing and merging on the highway. The SUV is highly agile and glides through turns and winding roads. Passengers enjoy a comfortable ride quality that isn’t disturbed by road imperfections. This is all backed by strong, reliable brakes.

Interior

The Traverse can seat eight people in its standard configuration of three rows. If you opt for captain’s chairs in the second row, the capacity is seven people. All passenger positions offer ample legroom and headroom for adults to stretch out and relax on longer trips. Several features are available to enhance the comfort of the cabin, including leather upholstery, heated seats, a heated steering wheel wrapped in leather, and tri-zone climate control.

Outperforming many of its competitors, the Traverse gives you 23 cubic feet of space behind its third-row seats. With those seats folded flat, the space expands to 57.8 cubic feet. With both rows folded, the maximum cargo capacity is 98.2 cubic feet of space, which is more than enough for camping gear, luggage, or small furniture.

Technology

The Traverse comes standard with the Chevy Infotainment 3 interface, a highly intuitive system with easy-to-navigate menu options and a simple, straightforward design that uses touch inputs and physical buttons and knobs for some functions. A 7-inch touchscreen comes standard, along with a Wi-Fi® hot spot and Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay™ smartphone integration to access your phone’s media apps for on-the-go entertainment. Optional upgrades include an 8-inch touchscreen, navigation, a 10-speaker Bose® sound system, and satellite radio. You could also add a rear-seat entertainment system to keep the kids occupied on the ride.

For safety features, the Traverse includes a seatbelt reminder, a rear-seat reminder, and the Teen Driver system, which allows you to set limits for speed and sound volume for young drivers. Many safety features are optional, including a surround-view camera, parking sensors, and adaptive cruise control, a feature that adjusts your cruising speed to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
