Roomier, Smoother, Smarter: The New Chevy Traverse is the SUV You’ve Been Waiting For

2025 Chevy Traverse

The Chevrolet Traverse recently launched its third generation with the 2024 model, so there's still an abundance of driving thrills to enjoy from this rugged three-row crossover. Known for its versatility, the Traverse already competes confidently with big names like the Kia Telluride and Toyota Grand Highlander. And Chevy has bigger plans for 2025—not only refining its current model but also expanding into new global markets. 

The LT, short for Luxury Touring, comes packed with all the tech and comfort needed here at The Mid-Missouri Powerhouse. You’ll find a leather-wrapped steering wheel, power-adjustable driver’s seat, wireless charging pad, power liftgate, and tons of driver-assist features to make every trip smooth. Plus, it comes standard with an advanced trailering system, ready to haul up to 5,000 pounds—so it’s as practical as it is comfortable!


The off-road-ready Z71 trim builds on everything the LT has and adds even more rugged features. It’s got standard AWD paired with a dual-clutch transmission for a smooth off-road experience, upgraded suspension, skid plates, extra ground clearance, and an advanced trailering system. Plus, the Z71 adds its own unique decals and styling touches for that bold, adventurous look. Both trims come equipped with a big, bright 11-inch digital gauge cluster and an even larger 17.7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, making it easy to stay connected and in control!


All models come with a durable unibody frame that combines the agility of a crossover with the capability of a truck—great for towing and taking on rougher roads without missing a beat. Despite its strength, the ride stays smooth and comfortable, even on bumpy terrain, which makes a big difference for folks dealing with rugged environments. For an extra edge, the Z71 trim offers even higher ground clearance with big off-road tires, an upgraded suspension, handy terrain management features, and some sharp decals for that rugged, stylish touch.

For 2025, the Chevy Traverse comes in four trims: LT, Z71, RS, and High Country. Every trim offers a roomy cabin that comfortably seats up to seven, with a spacious third-row fit for two adults. The LT, the entry-level option, packs plenty of great features right out of the gate, from a wireless phone charger and comfy interior to advanced connectivity and flexible cargo space.

For those looking to elevate their ride, the higher trims bring a lot to the table. The RS trim adds a sporty edge with unique color accents and bold red interior stitching. Meanwhile, the top-of-the-line High Country trim delivers luxury, with premium touches like a 10-speaker Bose sound system, noise-canceling tech, and rain-sensing wipers. The High Country also includes the Driver Confidence Package with top safety features and comes with a three-year subscription to Chevrolet's SuperCruise, ensuring that this SUV is as smart as it is stylish.

For those looking for the best value, the base LT trim is a smart choice. It comes loaded with a generous list of standard features, all at a price that’s noticeably lower than the other trims. Plus, with the budget-friendly starting point, there’s room to add some great extras like the Enhanced Driving and Driver Confidence packages without pushing the Traverse’s price too high.

When it comes to safety, the 2025 Chevy Traverse has you covered with Chevy Safety Assist, which comes packed with driver assistance features. You’ll get front automatic emergency braking that works for vehicles, pedestrians, and even cyclists! Plus, there’s adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, high-beam assist, and intersection collision avoidance. 

For an extra boost of convenience, the available Super Cruise hands-free driving technology is also on hand, depending on the trim. So, whether you're cruising around town or hitting the highway, this SUV has plenty of tech to keep you feeling secure.
