Dealing with unpredictable Albany winters can be stressful and dangerous if you don't have the right vehicle for the job. But thanks to the Traverse's available all?wheel drive system, you can worry less and concentrate on getting around safely during inclement weather.
Chevy's AWD system helps maintain fuel efficiency, yet provides the performance when you need it most. It senses traction issues and providing power to all?wheels or dividing power in order to get you out of sticky situations safely.
Now, the Traverse is no small car; this means you need power to help you and your family get up and go on the highway. To provide this, Chevy added a 3.6?liter V6 engine with 281 horsepower and 266 lb?ft. of torque to the 2016 Traverse. This is the same engine that uses across its vehicle line?up, including performance vehicles like the Chevy Camaro and Cadillac CTS.
The 2016 Traverse's competition come close to matching it, especially the 2016 Honda Pilot and 2016 Ford Explorer, but the Traverse narrowly defeats the two as the most powerful mid?size SUV available. Drivers will find that, unlike these vehicles, there's a lot less struggle to reach high speeds and that the acceleration feels quick and responsive??something Chevy takes great pride in.
Ultimately, these facts are what make the 2016 Chevy Traverse a great overall buy for families in Albany.
It can be tough to find exactly what you want from an SUV, which is why Albany Chevy dealers like DePaula Chevrolet are grateful to have a world-class selection that features five different SUVs for five different types of families. In the middle of this SUV selection is the Traverse: the SUV that's not too big and definitely not too small.
The Traverse maintains a mid-size SUV form, but still allows for third?row seating that includes more than enough cargo room??even when all seats are filled. This means that families who need the extra space don't have to look for a larger vehicle and don't have to settle for something smaller, as the 2016 Traverse starts at just $31,205 in Albany.
You won't be able to find a mid?size SUV with more available cargo room than the 2016 Traverse. That's right; it's the absolute best. In total, there's 116.3 cubic feet of space to utilize within the Traverse. This does account for folded rear seats, but its design helps maximize cargo room to offer the absolute best in its class.
Saying you're the best and actually being the best are two different things, but that's not the case with the 2016 Traverse. Against the Ford Explorer, Honda Pilot, and Toyota Highlander, the Traverse is the king of cargo room. The Honda Pilot tops out at 83.9 cubic feet, the Explorer is limited to 80.7 cubic feet, and the Highlander is only able to achieve 83.7 cubic feet of space.
Technology is one of the key things most buyers search for when it comes to new vehicles in 2016. If you're not provided with the best tools to stay connected or enjoy your vehicle, what's the point in buying a new car? This is why the Traverse offers families incredible technology to keep everyone in control, happy, and safe.
Chevy's newest in?car technology is 4G LTE Wi-Fi built right into the 2016 Traverse. You heard that right: the car has a built?in data connection that allows you to connect any device to a high?speed internet connection while on?the?go. That means you can use it to stream music without using up your phone's data plan or passengers can connect devices like laptops and tablets to stay entertained during long trips.
Technology in modern cars means more than just having a dashboard system with apps and cool settings. Most new cars feature a lot of basic technology, but it's the advanced tech that really sets a vehicle apart. For Chevy vehicles, that means OnStar. A subscription?based service that provides vehicle safety, diagnostics, and advanced navigation, you can protect your family, maintain your vehicle, and find your way around New York thanks to OnStar.
For the 2016 Traverse, one of the central features is MyLink, a 6.5?inch touchscreen that puts a ton of tech options at your fingertips. For instance, anyone in the family can connect phones or other devices to MyLink via Bluetooth to stream audio. Using the built?in Pandora app, you can stream custom internet radio to always find your favorite music. And if you have an OnStar subscription or navigation built?in, MyLink serves as a large guide to any destination.
Choosing the 2016 Chevy Traverse as your next vehicle is one of the best car?buying decisions you can make here in Albany. It's got power, capabilities, and more space than any other SUV in its class.
