Traverse LSįunctionally, the LS trim will be the base trim you'll likely come across. It's a build-to-order trim, so you're unlikely to ever even see a Traverse L on a dealer lot. The L is only available in front-wheel drive and doesn't have access to most optional extras.
WHITE 2018 CHEVY TRAVERSE REDLINE PACKAGE DRIVER
Inside, you get cloth upholstery, a tilt-adjustable steering wheel, seating for eight, a rearview camera, OnStar communications (with a 4G LTE connection and onboard Wi-Fi hotspot), Chevy's Teen Driver system, and a 7-inch MyLink touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity. While it may be the base model, the Traverse L comes respectably equipped with LED running lights, xenon headlights, heated mirrors, 18-inch wheels and engine stop-start. Most trims can be had in either front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive configuration. The standard engine for the Traverse is 3.6-liter V6 (310 hp, 266 lb-ft of torque) paired with Chevy's new nine-speed automatic transmission. We'll have a better idea of just how the new Traverse stacks up once we get our hands on one, but based on what we know so far, this looks like a strong entry in the three-row crossover category. The midlevel trims offer a competitive list of features and lots of passenger space all wrapped up in an appealing package. Still, whether Chevy can play with the heavy hitters of the luxury class won't be relevant to most buyers. A 2018 Chevrolet Traverse High Country is priced above the top trims of most direct competitors and the entry-level trims for luxury SUVs, such as the sporty Acura MDX, classy Volvo XC90 or very German Audi Q7.
That extended range of trims means the Traverse isn't just taking on traditional competitors such as the versatile Honda Pilot, fun Mazda CX-9 or practical Toyota Highlander. Unfortunately, adaptive cruise and related safety features, such as forward collision alert with automatic braking, are limited to the top two trims. There's also a special all-wheel-drive system designed to improve traction and control both on- and off-road compared to the other trim levels' optional AWD systems. This new, leather-draped trim features LED headlights as well as all of Chevy's available driver aids and safety tech. Speaking of the High Country: Chevy is expanding the Traverse range to push up against near-luxury offerings. Safety features such as blind-spot monitoring are available across more of the range now, and adaptive cruise control comes to the Traverse, although only to the top High Country trim. Chevy's Teen Driver system - which lets you track the car, receive notifications if it's in an accident, and set limits on functions such as stereo volume - is standard equipment in the new model. There's also a new turbocharged four-cylinder engine, but it's only available on the sport-styled RS trim.Ī bigger 7-inch touchscreen with Android Auto/Apple CarPlay and OnStar (with a 4G connection and Wi-Fi) are standard across the range. This pairing, along with some aerodynamic tweaks, improves fuel economy by about 3 mpg to a maximum of 21 mpg combined (18 city/27 highway). This lighter Traverse carries over the same V6 from the last generation, but it gains 29 horsepower to make a total of 310 hp and is paired with a new nine-speed transmission. This marks the first time the two vehicles are sized differently. Interestingly, the dimensions of this year's Traverse have grown a bit, but its fraternal twin, the GMC Acadia, actually shrank for its 2017 redesign. It also has more room behind the third-row seat compared to other vehicles in its class. With 98.5 cubic feet of available space, the Traverse is tops in the class when it comes to interior space.
Along with the extra passenger space is an increase in overall cargo capacity.
