Key Takeaways
- The Z71 Traverse includes a specialized AWD system.
- Maximum towing capacity is 5,000 pounds with the standard Trailering Package.
- The Traverse features six USB ports around the cabin.
What Did Chevy Add to the Traverse for 2027?
Most of the Traverse's changes involve tech and wheel designs. A new interior camera is standard on the RS, but buyers choosing other trims can add it as an option.
The LT keeps its standard 18-inch wheels but gains two new 20-inch choices. The Sun and Wheel Package includes Carbon Flash Metallic wheels, while the Midnight/Sport Edition Package offers a gloss-black design.
The automaker also updates the wheels on the two higher trims. The Z71 receives 18-inch gloss-black wheels with machined faces, and the RS gets new 22-inch gloss-black wheels.
What's Under the Hood of the Traverse?
Every Traverse uses a 328-hp turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is available.
How Does the Traverse Perform Off-Pavement?
The LT and RS are for the road, but the Z71 features a more specialized drivetrain designed to improve traction on the trail. Its standard twin-clutch all-wheel-drive system works with terrain-specific driving modes to manage changing surfaces. Chevy also gives the Z71 unique suspension damping and all-terrain tires.
Can the 2027 Traverse Tow a Trailer?
You bet! The Traverse has a max towing capacity of 5,000 pounds with the standard Trailering Package. It features a heavy-duty cooling system, a 220-amp alternator, and Hitch View, which uses the exterior camera system to help drivers line up the vehicle with a trailer.
How Much Passenger Space Does the Traverse Offer?
Traverse seating capacity depends on the trim and second-row configuration. Car and Driverreports that the LT accommodates eight passengers with a second-row bench or seven with captain's chairs. Both the Z71 and RS have captain's chairs, limiting seating to seven.
Is the Traverse Comfortable?
Yes! Standard LT equipment includes cloth upholstery, a power-adjustable driver's seat, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, remote start, and three-zone automatic climate control. Upper trims introduce additional amenities, including leatherette upholstery, a power passenger seat, ventilated front seats, driver's seat memory, heated second-row seats, and a power-adjustable steering wheel.
Active noise cancellation, a surround-view camera, and a 12-speaker Bose audio system are also among the available upgrades. Super Cruise hands-free highway driving system is offered on higher trims and can be added to the LT.
Which Tech Features Are Included?
A 17.7-inch infotainment touchscreen is standard across the board with Google-based software that supports wireless connectivity. An 11-inch digital instrument cluster can be configured to display different vehicle information. A wireless charging pad is also included, and an onboard Wi-Fi connection is available.
There are six USB ports throughout the cabin, and a 12-volt power outlet is available. The LT includes a six-speaker audio system, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assist, and upper trims offer more advanced technology and convenience features.
