WITH CARGO SO PRECIOUS,
ONLY 5 STARS(DISCLOSURE 19) WILL DO.
Awarded an overall 5-star(disclosure 19) safety rating, the stylish, fuel-efficient Chevrolet Traverse helps protect you and your loved ones while adapting to your needs. With 24 MPG highway, Traverse FWD offers better fuel economy than any eight-passenger crossover(4). When it comes to room, Traverse delivers there too, offering more cargo space than any vehicle in its class - more than Toyota Highlander, Ford Flex and Honda Pilot. Drive assured your Traverse accommodates your life beautifully while protecting your precious cargo.
EXTERIOR
It isn't wrong to consider the Chevrolet Traverse a masterpiece. Its sleek exterior serves as a testament to the engineers who crafted our crossover into sheer beauty. Details like angular taillamps and the dual-port grill give Traverse a distinctive look, while a number of features help you out on the road.
Integrated into the outside mirrors, Traverse offers blind spot mirrors designed to enhance visibility along the sides of the vehicle. Standard on LT and LTZ.
Alerts you when certain stationary objects are located behind the vehicle at low speeds. Standard on LT and LTZ.
Traverse comes with 17" wheels on LS, 18" wheels on LT, and 20" aluminum wheels on LTZ.
INTERIOR
The Chevy Traverse is remarkably spacious, with seating for up to eight passengers and a standard third row that's even comfortable for grown-ups. It's tasteful design and high-quality materials give Traverse one of the most accommodating interiors in its class.
We thought of small details - like a cup holder in the armrest and big details - like large door handles that are easy to reach. And every Traverse comes with rear air vents so everyone can stay comfortable, no matter where they're sitting.
A one-hand movement sends the Smart Slide second-row seat into motion, quickly sliding it out of the way and allowing passengers of all ages and sizes to easily exit or enter the third row.
Traverse has more space than you'll find in many full-size SUVs. The available split-folding seats in the second(20) and third rows give you the flexibility to adapt the vehicle on the fly.
Traverse provides more space behind the third row - more than any competitor including Toyota Highlander. An available cargo net(21) helps keep bags and other items in place.
CAPABILITY
Traverse lets you go farther between fill-ups, thanks to an EPA estimated 24 MPG highway(4). That's better highway fuel economy than any eight-passenger crossover on the road. What's more, the standard Direct Injection 3.6L V6 engine in LS and LT delivers 281 horsepower, while it delivers 288 horsepower in LTZ. That's ample power to merge with confidence in highway traffic.
The Direct Injection 3.6L V6 engine with standard six-speed automatic transmission provides quiet shifting and smooth acceleration while contributing to outstanding highway fuel economy - an EPA estimated 24 MPG.
Traverse comes standard with a 100,000 mile/5-year(3) Transferable Powertrain Limited warranty, roadside assistance, and Courtesy Transportation Programs.
