2027 Chevrolet Traverse

LT begins with the 2.5L turbocharged engine, 8-speed automatic transmission, and seating for 7, with an 8-passenger arrangement available. Smart Slide Seats ease third-row access, while an AutoSense Power Liftgate and 17.7-inch touchscreen add convenience. Available Midnight and Sport Editions provide alternative exterior treatments. Z71 takes a more specialized approach with Advanced Twin-Clutch AWD, Terrain Mode, and Hill Descent Control. An off-road suspension, frequency-based dampers, skid plate, and 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tires give it hardware designed for loose and uneven surfaces. RS emphasizes a more assertive appearance through 22-inch gloss-black wheels, blackout exterior details, RS badging, red cabin accents, and a flat-bottom steering wheel. Super Cruise® and power-folding second- and third-row seats are standard. High Country shifts toward luxury with real wood, microfiber suede detailing, Tritan Satin finishes, signature door sills, unique badging, and 22-inch machined-face wheels. Super Cruise® is standard here as well.

Every 2027 Traverse uses a turbocharged 2.5L engine producing 328 hp and 326 lbs. ft. of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. FWD configurations return an estimated 20 mpg city and 26 mpg highway. Z71 uses Advanced Twin-Clutch AWD for a more specialized drivetrain configuration suited to changing surfaces.

LT, Z71, and RS can tow up to 5,000 lbs. with their included trailering equipment. Hitch View and Hitch Guidance help position the vehicle when connecting a trailer, while the standard Trailering App places towing information within the vehicle interface. Z71 broadens the Traverse’s abilities with Twin-Clutch AWD, Terrain Mode, Hill Descent Control, frequency-based dampers, dedicated off-road suspension tuning, and underbody protection.

The Traverse accommodates up to 8 passengers and provides as much as 98 cu. ft. of maximum cargo volume. Smart Slide Seats improve access to the rear rows, while an available power-folding third row simplifies the transition between passenger and cargo space. RS adds One-Touch Fold operation for the second row and power-folding functionality for both rear rows. The hands-free AutoSense Power Liftgate makes loading easier, while High Country creates the richest environment with real wood, microfiber suede, and more elaborate trim finishes.

A 17.7-inch infotainment touchscreen and 11-inch Driver Information Center are standard, accompanied by wireless phone charging and second-row USB ports. Google built-in integrates Google Maps, Google Play, and available Google Gemini voice assistance. Super Cruise® supports hands-free driving on compatible roads with Automatic Lane Change and Turn Signal Activated Lane Change. It can also recognize an attached trailer and increase following distance accordingly.

Standard technologies include Forward Collision Alert, Adaptive Cruise Control, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Reverse Automatic Braking, Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking, Blind Zone Steering Assist, Side Bicyclist Alert, Safety Alert Seat, IntelliBeam®, Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, and Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking. Available HD Surround Vision, Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist, Rear Pedestrian Alert, Driver Attention Assist, and Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning provide additional support around Lompoc and on longer Central Coast drives.
