Chevrolet Traverse Overview

The Traverse competes in the fullsize crossover segment, offering great practicality with seating for 8 passengers and split-folding second and third-row seats. LS, 1LT, 2LT and LTZ trims all use a 3.6-liter V6 engine making 281 hp (288 for the LTZ due to the addition of dual exhaust). Offered in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, the Traverse comes equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Fuel economy measures 17/24 city/highway mpg with front-wheel drive and 16/23 mpg with all-wheel drive.

A key Traverse selling point is its generous 116.4 cubic feet of cargo space with the second and third rows folded. Traction control and StabiliTrak stability control systems join all-wheel disc brakes with ABS for a composed ride despite the large crossover's considerable heft. Chevrolet offers the full complement of OnStar services, including turn-by-turn navigation, as standard equipment.
