Performance
A 3.6-liter, 310-horsepower V6 engine powers the Chevrolet Traverse and contributes to its excellent performance. The engine generates 266 pound-feet of torque and has front-wheel drive and a 9-speed automatic transmission. You can replace the front-wheel-drive with the optional all-wheel drive. The wonderfully large size of the Traverse does not interfere with its energetic performance. This SUV has an excellent suspension system that makes rough roads barely unnoticeable. Driving around town is an enjoyable experience when you are behind the wheel of a Traverse because of its outstanding powertrain. Expect to get 18 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway, which is competitive for this class.
Interior
The striking interior of the Chevrolet Traverse makes taking long road trips a remarkable experience. You can do that with friends and family because there are eight seats, and each of them is supportive and comfortable. You can also choose a higher trim for a different configuration that includes two captain's chairs. Rest assured, tall passengers will feel comfortable seated anywhere in a Chevy Traverse. The cloth upholstery looks stylish, and you can choose leather upholstery instead for an even more elevated aesthetic. The base model comes with manually adjustable front seats and optional power-adjustable seats. You can also get a heated steering wheel, a power-folding third-row, heated second-row seats, and heated and ventilated front seats.
You would find it hard to find another SUV that offers the generous amount of cargo space you get in a Traverse. There are 23 cubic feet of space behind the last row of seats, which is an area that can fit large items like several pieces of luggage. You can get 57.8 cubic feet of space by folding the back seat. The maximum cargo space available is 98.2 cubic feet when you fold all rear seats.
Technology
Learning how to use an infotainment system is sometimes challenging, but that isn't the case with the Chevrolet Traverse. The infotainment technology system includes features you can access through its 7-inch touchscreen, including Bluetooth connectivity, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration, a seven-speaker audio system with satellite radio, and a Wi-Fi hotspot.
The base model also has USB ports, proximity keyless entry, tri-zone automatic climate control, and push-button start. Consider upgrading to a larger 8-inch touchscreen, a stereo with ten speakers, wireless device charging, and a navigation system. The optional 120-volt household-style power outlet is of great value to many drivers.
Safety Features
There is a focus on safety that is clear when you drive a Chevrolet Traverse. The standard features are extensive and include a rear-seat alert that lets you know if someone is still in a back seat, making this SUV ideal for drivers with children and pets. A rearview camera, Teen Driver, and forward automatic emergency braking all contribute to your safety on the road. Forward collision warning with pedestrian detection is a feature that mitigates potential collisions with an alert.
Lane departure warning with lane keep assist is a modern technology that helps to keep you from going outside of your travel lane. Adaptive cruise control, rear parking sensors, a rearview mirror with an integrated camera display are available features to consider. Some higher trim levels include advanced safety features.
