The Chevy Traverse sports utility vehicle offers not only a spacious interior but also capabilities not typically seen in a family vehicle. The Chevy Traverse can navigate snowy and icy roads while providing a highly comfortable ride for the entire family. As a bonus, the Chevy Traverse offers one of the largest cargo spaces in its class - even without the rear seat folded down. Chevy has recently upgraded the driver assists available as standard equipment on the Traverse, which makes it safer than ever for one's family trips. The Chevy Traverse provides families with a safe and comfortable as well as fuel-efficient ride.

Performance
The standard engine of the Chevy Traverse is a gas-powered V6 that provides up to 310 horsepower. This engine is paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. Drivers in Paradise, PA, often tout the performance of this V6; while it is very efficient, it also offers the pep one needs to accelerate in and out of traffic.
The Chevy Traverse is rated to tow between 1,500 to 5,00 pounds, depending upon the vehicle's configuration.
Interior and Exterior Design
The Traverse can seat up to eight occupants using the third row of seats. The Traverse offers a rear seat that is outfitted to comfortably seat adults. One may fold the second and third-row seats to haul more cargo. There is also a wealth of cubby storage in the first row of the Traverse and 23 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row.
There are multiple add-on packages to customize your new Chevy Traverse. The Midnight package adds features such as a black grille and black badging, and more. The Sport edition offers black exterior accents but adds black roof rails. The RS and Redline add-on packages also add black accents and a sportier overall appearance; the Redline adds some red accents mixed into these black accents as well.
Safety
The Chevy Traverse is loaded with many standard safety features. Some features are cosmetic or utilitarian, while others are driver assists.
