Steering effort is low, but the system is precise and makes aiming the big SUV easy. And the Traverse's suspension strikes a good balance between agility and ride comfort. Judge the Traverse by its class-average EPA fuel-economy numbers and you'd be doing so with only half the information. In our real-world testing, the all-wheel-drive Vpowered Traverse High Country delivered 27 mpg, the best highway fuel consumption among its key competitors.
The Traverse provides spacious accommodations for seven or eight passengers, including a third row sized for adults. Chevrolet's six-tier model lineup provides a lot of options for buyers, and the feature content, naturally, increases with the price.
The materials in the top-level High Country are handsome but fall slightly short of expectations given that version's lofty sticker. As for space, we found that six carry-on suitcases will fit behind the third row, which is impressive for this segment. Drop all the Traverse's folding seats and it becomes a cargo-hauling champ, with more space than any of its rivals.
It offers the most first-row cubby storage in its class, too. USB ports are thoughtfully placed throughout the Traverse's cabin, and the SUV's infotainment system is simple to use and quick to respond, with colorful graphics, a high-mounted touchscreen, and standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability.
Unfortunately, most driver-assistance features are available on only the two highest-priced trims whereas some rivals offer these things as standard.
Key safety features include:. The Traverse is one of the bigger options in the mid-size SUV class and boasts one of the largest cargo areas, outdoing key rivals such as the Ford Explorer , Toyota Highlander , and the Kia Telluride. Chevrolet has given its three-row Traverse a light refresh for the model year that includes revised exterior styling and a host of new standard driver-assistance features.
Among them are automated emergency braking, pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, and automatic high-beam headlamps. This update to Chevy's mid-size, three-row SUV was originally intended for the model year, but has been delayed to because of the global Coronavirus pandemic.
The mid-range LT model represents the best value among the Traverse's six-trim lineup as it adds nice-to-haves such as second-row captain's chairs, a power-adjustable driver's seat, SiriusXM satellite radio, fog lamps, heated exterior mirrors, and roof rails. A standard horsepower V-6 engine gives the Traverse its legs, and a slick-shifting nine-speed automatic transmission changes gears unobtrusively. The V-6 pulls strongly; a Traverse we tested proved to be on the quicker end of its class.
The cabin is so quiet that you need to steal a glance at the tachometer to ensure the engine is running while at a stoplight.
When parking or maneuvering at low speed, the Traverse feels every bit its size. Pick up the pace, however, and the big Chevy feels smaller than it is—poised, if not overtly athletic.
Steering effort is low, but the system is precise and makes aiming the big SUV easy. The Traverse's suspension is tuned for a good balance between handling and ride comfort.
