Family-Friendly Features
Many aspects of the Traverse are designed with parents in mind, as families often require an extra row of seating to accommodate everyone on board. Parenting can be difficult, which is why Chevy works hard to develop features that make your life a little easier every time you step behind the wheel. And since balancing a budget can be tough with a growing family, many of these features come standard on all trims, including the affordable Traverse LT.
Easily Accessible Rows
Whether because of big families, visits from extended relatives, or playdates with friends, you’re probably buying a three-row SUV because you intend to use all three rows. Unfortunately, accessing the back row is something many models don’t make easy, forcing you to climb over second-row passengers and squeeze tight to get back. On all trims of the Traverse, Smart Slide Seats come standard to solve this problem — they move aside easily so you can make use of all of your passenger space hassle-free.
Kid Comfort
Having an SUV full of little ones can also be loud enough without road noise or outside sounds making things worse, which is why the Traverse comes with active noise cancellation. Standard rear air conditioning ports keep backseat passengers comfortable, regardless of the weather. As the kids get older and start to have their own phones and other devices, they’ll appreciate the standard rear USB ports that come standard on the Traverse.
Comprehensive Safety
Of course, a big concern for many parents is safety, and the Traverse has you covered there as well. A standard LATCH system makes it easy to secure child safety seats, and seat belt indicators for the second and third rows let you know at a glance when everyone is buckled up. Standard driver assistance tools include forward collision alert, rear park assist, lane keep assist, side bicyclist alert, and enhanced automatic emergency braking. Teen Driver is also standard, so you can easily teach your kids to drive in the family SUV, with tools to help you keep track of their progress and keep them safe even when you’re not in the passenger seat.
Cargo
With almost 98 cu.ft. of cargo volume, the Traverse gives you plenty of places to put your things. You can unlock that full amount of cargo volume by tucking away the two back rows, something that’s easy as can be with power-folding seats. Standard on the High Country and RS trims and available on the LT and Z71 trims, this feature lets you get seating out of the way without expending too much effort so that you can reconfigure the interior in a snap. To give you as many options as possible, the third row bench has a 60/40 split that lets you fold down just one or two seats, depending on how much passenger space you need.
AutoSense Power Liftgate
Accessing the rear cargo area is simple, since an AutoSense Power Liftgate comes standard across all trims. With this convenient feature, all you need to do to open the liftgate is stand near it with a keyfob on your person—no need to fumble for your keys or figure out how to use a motion sensor. This makes it easy to open the liftgate when your hands are full, allowing you to easily load your cargo.
Versatile Storage and Impressive Towing Capabilities
The interior has plenty of space, but it’s not your only option for cargo. Roof rails come standard across all trims, and roof rack cross rails are available, so you can use the top of the SUV to carry a bicycle, Christmas tree, cargo box, or whatever else needs to come along for the ride, all without using up precious interior space. The powerful Traverse can also tow up to 5,000 lbs, so you can bring a trailer along for the ride for camping, moving, and more.
Technology
You deserve to stay connected and informed while on the road, which is why the Traverse comes with a fantastic suite of useful features sure to satisfy even the most tech-savvy drivers. You don’t even need to opt for a premium trim level to get the majority of them—every single trim comes standard with a large 17.7-inch central touchscreen and an 11-inch driver information center behind the wheel, making it easy to see everything at a glance, from your speed to your navigation directions so that you can keep your eyes on the road.
Connectivity
These screens can be customized to match your personal preferences, and you can even save profiles for multiple drivers, so no one has to compromise. Google built-in technology provides a range of apps for navigation, music streaming, and more, allowing you to complete tasks safely within the vehicle’s interface, whether you prefer the touchscreen, controls built into the steering wheel, or natural voice recognition.
The infotainment system also features phone integration, so you can keep in touch with everyone from friends and family to coworkers as you’re out and about. Keeping your phone charged is easy, as a wireless charging pad comes standard across all trims, allowing you to cut the cord and get the juice you need simply by placing your smartphone down.
Comfort Features
Looking for a luxurious experience? The Traverse offers plenty of creature comforts that can enhance your time behind the wheel and make sure you’ll be feeling refreshed when you arrive at your destination, no matter how long the trip.
Standard Amenities
First, let’s take a look at the luxuries that come standard across all trims. This category includes more than you might think, giving even the entry-level LT plenty to write home about. For all-weather comfort, tri-zone automatic climate control provides individual temperature settings for you, your front seat passenger, and the rear seats, allowing everyone to adjust to their preferred temperature. You can get the AC or heat running before you even set foot inside the cabin with standard remote start.
Up front, you can stay extra cozy when it’s cold out with heated seats and a heated steering wheel. As the driver, you’ll also have the best seat in the house: an eight-way power-adjustable seat, to be precise. That includes two-way power lumbar on the two lower-level trims and four-way power lumbar on upper trims, helping you get everything just right so you can avoid back pain and enjoy the ride.
Available Enhancements
At the top of the trim ladder, the High Country and RS have some extra features that make the Traverse even more comfortable. On hot days, you can enjoy ventilated front seats that help you stay cool. Heated rear outboard seats make winter weather more enjoyable for the whole cabin, not just those up front. Everyone can also enjoy leather-appointed seats that are as comfortable as they are stylish, along with a Bose premium audio system that’s a treat to listen to.
Up front, your passenger can enjoy a six-way power-adjustable seat, and you both get two-way power lumbar support. You can further customize your settings with a power tilt and telescoping steering column. And you can keep your driver seat and outside mirror settings just where you like them, even after you let someone else drive your car on a road trip or at a valet parking lot. With two programmable memory settings, you’ll be able to get everything back to the way you want it at the push of a button.
