2023 Chevrolet Traverse

The 2023 Traverse introduces itself with the LS, which has flowing lines and athletic curves enhanced by a black bumper and matching wheels. You'll notice 18-inch wheels with a Bright Silver finish on the LT Cloth and LT Leather. The RS adds black roof rails, black Chevy bow ties, and black window moldings. You'll also find 20-inch wheels with a dark finish. Chevrolet equips the Premier with chrome accents, and the High Country gets 20-inch wheels with an elegant, polished finish. Exterior color options include Iridescent Pearl Tricoat, Radiant Red Tintcoat, and Black Cherry Metallic.

Under the hood of every Traverse sits a 3.6-liter V-6 engine with an output of 310 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque. Variable valve timing and spark ignition direct injection make this robust engine exceptionally efficient. You can also take advantage of stop/start technology that automatically shuts off the engine when the Traverse comes to a stop and the brake pedal is in use. When properly equipped, select Traverse models can tow up to 5,000 pounds.

A nine-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission teams up with the V-6 engine to optimize output and efficiency while delivering seamless gear shifts for swift, smooth acceleration. With the Traverse's agile front-wheel-drive system, you'll actually enjoy maneuvering through traffic and other tight spaces. Chevrolet also offers an all-wheel-drive system that monitors all four wheels to adjust traction depending on the weather and terrain. The system is ideal for low-traffic situations like driving on wet or snow-covered roads. The Traverse's fully independent suspension is tuned to give you a smooth ride regardless of driving conditions.

The Traverse can seat seven or eight people, depending on what trim you select. The LS lets you take advantage of wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration and tri-zone automatic climate control featuring individual climate settings. You get premium cloth upholstery with the LT Cloth, while the LT Leather has luxurious leather seating surfaces. The RS adds a 10-speaker sound system featuring a Richbass subwoofer, and in the Premier, you'll find a driver's seat with memory settings. The High Country offers a trim-exclusive Jet Black perforated leather interior with Clove accents.

Chevrolet equips the 2023 Traverse with a forward-collision alert that warns you when you're tailgating and notifies you when it senses a potential collision. With available adaptive cruise control, you can select your preferred cruising speed, and the system can help maintain a safe following distance. A lane-change alert lets you know if a vehicle is blocking your path when you try to change lanes, while a rear cross-traffic alert scans for approaching traffic when driving in reverse. If you have a new driver in the family, teen driver technology can help them develop better driving habits.
