Why the 2021 Chevy Traverse Is the Perfect Family SUV

Chevrolet is one of the most popular auto brands in America, especially when it comes to their lineup of mid-size SUVs. Offering great driving performance, safety technology, a roomy interior for the whole family, and a powertrain that’s tough enough to haul your sports equipment or several rows of luggage, SUVs like the 2021 Chevy Traverse are popular staples for the American driver. If an SUV is on your new car shopping list, visit us, your local Chevy dealership in Clifton Park, and check out our superior selection that includes the Chevy Traverse.

Why the Chevy Traverse? One close look at the 2021 edition’s family-friendly features, and you’ll see for yourself that it’s the ultimate family car. Its many trims give you almost unlimited options to customize your SUV, and its various tech features are both entertaining and offer unrivaled safety measures. There are dozens of popular SUVs to choose from in 2021, but if you have a family to transport, here are the top features that make the 2021 Chevy Traverse a no-brainer.

Plenty of Trims for Every Family

The 2021 Traverse is available in multiple trims, each of which will fine-tune this SUV to your exact standards. Chevy knows well enough that their customer base is highly selective, so the Traverse, like all of their vehicles, is incredibly easy to customize. The 2021 Traverse is available in seven different trims, starting with the base L model, which is the most affordable option. At a starting MSRP of only $29,800, it isn’t just the best-value Traverse but one of the most affordable quality SUVs of the year.

The base model comes with many standard features, including a high-tech infotainment system, safety features like a rear vision camera, and a comfy, no-fuss cabin that’s perfect for families with messy kids and pets. There is plenty of interior storage and USB ports for charging in every row. Meanwhile, even the base model’s 3.6-liter V-6 engine is quick and thrilling to drive while also handling comfortably enough for young passengers.

Upgrade to the refined Redline Edition for sporty, alluring features like 20-inch, high-gloss black wheels that feature sharp red accents, as well as Chevy’s signature Black Ice front grille that makes the Traverse aerodynamic and intimidating. Black bowtie emblems, black moldings and railings, high-gloss window trims, and other exterior upgrades give your Traverse look nothing short of luxury looks, while superior powertrain options offer even more satisfying driving performance. Transport your family in style, so your kids will be happy to be picked up and dropped off in a Traverse.

What if you want the best mid-size SUV with the most elegant features outside the luxury market? Upgrade to the High Country edition of the 2021 Traverse, Chevy’s signature top-tier trim that rivals much pricier imported SUVs. It starts with the sharpened exterior, which has 20-inch, polished aluminum wheels, and a unique chrome grille. The hands-free power liftgate and SkyScape power sunroof add appealing technology. Finally, a suite of safety features, like enhanced automatic emergency braking, puts you at ease when you drive your Traverse, not to mention keeping your family safe while traveling.

Interiors Designed for Families

Families have a lot of needs that sometimes require certain accommodations. That’s true with restaurants, hotels, parks, and, especially, family cars. Thankfully, the 2021 Chevy Traverse is the perfect family car. Just look at its specially designed interiors.

The 2021 Chevy Traverse has ample storage space with a maximum of 98.2 cubic feet. Not only is this enough space for you and your family, but you can also fit pets, luggage, sports equipment, and anything else that needs to go where your family goes. Plan a long camping trip, take a road trip to make unforgettable memories, or just commute your family to their weekly activities. The Traverse has your back with its best-in-class cargo volume, available power-folding back row seats, two available private storage compartments, and smart slide seating.

If you need to load and unload the family car often, trust in the available power liftgate, which is hands-free and lets you focus on doing the heavy lifting. Even better, the Traverse isn’t designed with those annoying corners, jutting columns, or other obstructive interior features that make storing cargo an annoyance. In fact, the all-new Traverse is designed in a smart and space-saving layout that provides plenty of flat storage floor space. Transporting cargo just doesn’t get any easier than this.

The interiors are comfortable too. In fact, you can seat up to 8 people in the 2021 Traverse with ample legroom. Smart slide seats make access to the third row easy and comfortable, and the available SkyScape sunroof offers expansive sky views through its dual-panel glass. With the touch of a button, you can open up the SkyScape for a convertible-like feel that all passengers can enjoy. Upgrade the interior to one of the more impressive trims, like the High Country edition, for superior upholstery that stays comfortable in all temperatures.

Tech for the Whole Family

Sometimes, the hardest part of traveling with family is keeping the children entertained. With enough stimulation, they can enjoy long drives, and you can eliminate distractions so you can stay focused on the road. Thankfully, the 2021 Chevy Traverse includes plenty of fun features for the whole family built into the center console: the Chevy infotainment system.

The 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment device is placed directly in the center console for easy access. Connect your smartphone and other compatible apps to place hands-free phone calls, access contacts, and stream family-friendly audio through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Stream audiobooks or podcasts to keep the entire family entertained.

Upgrade to the High Country edition for the top-tier Chevy Infotainment 3 Premium system, which adds accurate, real-time navigation support. Cut down on travel times, get updates about road closures, accidents, and speed traps, and find your way to new sights for your family to explore. You can even connect your infotainment device to Amazon for shopping, orders, and deliveries on the go. Meanwhile, the RS edition includes a 120-volt outlet – compatible with most American electronics – on the center console that you can use to keep tablets, laptops, and gaming devices fully charged.
