Purchasing a vehicle these days may feel like too hefty of an expense, but we can all agree that public transportation still leaves leaps and bounds of functionality to be desired. The new Traverse offers up a front-wheel drive vehicle with seating for up to 8, an amazingly crisp 6-speaker sound system, a power liftgate, and a 17.7-inch LCD infotainment display with Google capability baked in. A 360-degree HD camera system included as standard along with adaptive cruise control are other huge advantages the Traverse boasts over the competition.
The
entry-level trim rides on 18-inch rims, all-season tires are wrapped around
them, and a handy spare is included in the trunk! The 20-inch wheels are
available with the Midnight Edition, which also nicely darkens out the
window trim. Power is now supplied by a turbocharged 2.5-liter 4-cylinder
engine which cranks out 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque and is paired
with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The Traverse has a cool choice
of available colors, with Summit White, Mosaic Black Metallic, Sterling Gray
Metallic, and Lakeshore Blue Metallic
available at no extra cost.
Recent technological advances have made a huge difference in crowded urban areas, as features such as intersection automatic emergency braking and pedestrian and cyclist braking will step in immediately to help you avoid damaging outcomes. The LT trim steps things up nicely with extra features such as wireless phone charging, and Iridescent Pearl and Radiant Red Tintcoat paint hues. The off-road-ready Z71 package offers up the trail-tackling confidence of extras such as all-terrain wheels, a beefed-up suspension, a burly trailering package, and all-wheel drive.
The RS
trim makes a return to front-wheel-drive but increases the size of the wheels
to 22 inches, while also adding the hands-free Super Cruise advanced
driver-assistance system along with Bose audio and the rearview camera mirror.
The Autoevolution
bloggers put the Traverse to the test and then claimed the LT
trim as their favorite, which arrived smartly and decked out in a Lakeshore
Blue Metallic exterior, all-wheel drive, 20-inch wheels, and the atmospheric
enjoyment of the panoramic power sunroof.
The Car
and Driver staff praised the 2024
Chevy Traverse for its “incredibly spacious interior, excellent 3rd-row
confines, and awesome braking feel.” Their test drive also led them to claim
that the addition of Super Cruise gives the vehicle the sharpened edge it needs
to muscle in on rival territory properly. The Traverse’s steering also
provided these experts with a very engaging and truck-like quality, along with
a family-friendly and comfortable ride. When equipped with the optional
Trailering package, the Traverse can tow up to 5,000 lbs, and it ranks
among the most cargo-friendly SUVs in its class with over 97 cubic feet of
space.
