Families that need a third row of seats but find the Suburban overkill choose the 2025 Chevrolet Traverse. Some of this three-row SUV’s defining features are a turbocharged engine, a large infotainment display, a spacious cargo area, and advanced safety technology.
Turbocharged Engine
The Traverse is powered by a 2.5L Turbo engine with 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque. It comes with variable valve timing technology, which enhances its fuel efficiency without sacrificing performance. Power delivery is managed by a smooth-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive (FWD) is standard.
Ample Seating Space
Up to eight passengers can fit in the Traverse’s three rows of seats. The driver and front passenger are treated to 44.29 inches of legroom and 42.6 inches of headroom, and rear-row passengers enjoy an equally generous 41.46 inches of legroom and 39.96 inches of headroom. While most mid-size SUVs skimp on third-row seating space, the Traverse offers 32.13 inches of legroom and 38.7 inches of headroom, comfortably accommodating adults.
Large Cargo Area
Another area where the Chevrolet Traverse outclasses its rivals is cargo space. There’s 22.9 cubic feet of storage space behind the SUV’s rear seats, which means that families don’t need to leave luggage behind. To haul camping gear, a mountain bike, or any other large item, the SUV’s rear seats can be folded to access 56.6 cubic feet of storage space. Folding both the third- and second-row seats frees a whopping 97.6 cubic feet of storage space.
AutoSense Power Liftgate
The Traverse comes standard with an AutoSense power liftgate, improving access to the rear cargo area. The liftgate opens automatically upon sensing the key fob within three feet of the vehicle’s rear end. The auto-open feature can be activated and deactivated using the liftgate handle touchpad.
Large Infotainment Display
A standard 17.7-inch advanced color display provides infotainment. It features Google Built-in, allowing occupants to download their favorite Android apps or interact with Google Assistant. Integrated navigation capability helps drivers find their way around town without relying on their smartphone. The infotainment system also supports natural voice recognition, personalized driver profiles, and SiriusXM.
Advanced Safety Technology
Chevy Safety Assist is offered as standard equipment across all Chevrolet Traverse trim levels. The suite includes automatic emergency braking and forward collision alert, both of which help prevent head-on collisions. Some of the other standard safety technologies include a following distance indicator and IntelliBeam auto high beam. The SUV also features advanced driver assistance technology, such as adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and blind zone steering assist.
