This SUV also features best in class for available storage space, making this the perfect vehicle for long trips. On top of being spacious the Traverse also has fantastic styling, looking more like a luxury vehicle than anything else. With upscale materials and refined lines, the dashboard feels refined while also not being overpacked with knobs and dials. Additionally, the Traverse is outfitted with the Chevrolet Safety Assist package that comes standard across the lineup, giving you extra room in your budget for more cosmetic flair.
How Does the Chevy Traverse Drive?
The engine that powers the traverse is a stalwart V-6 3.6-liter engine that puts out 310 horses. This comes paired with a 9-speed transmission that shifts smoothly and without notice. The best part of the engine and the shifting, is the quiet ride, making this Chevy feel even classier as it isolates you from the rest of the world. It keeps your focus on the road ahead. On top of not hearing the road, the Traverse handles extremely well for its class. Cornering in the SUV feels more like you are cornering a sedan and getting up to speed is everything but boring.

As previously mentioned, the Chevrolet Safety Assist package comes standard across all trims. This includes the following safety features:

Most companies and brands do not offer these features standard and come with an addition to the price tag. This is quite possibly one of our favorite parts of buying a Chevrolet.
