2021 Chevy Traverse Review
The 2021 Chevy Traverse is one of the top-ranked midsize SUV models on the market. The Traverse combines powerful performance, an expansive interior, and an array of intuitive technology features for an excellent all-around SUV option.
Drivers in Wexford, Pittsburgh, and Cranberry Township can learn all about the new Traverse with our in-depth 2021 Chevy Traverse review from Baierl Chevrolet.
Traverse Performance and Capability
The Traverse comes with a 310-horsepower V6 engine with lively acceleration and a slick nine-speed automatic transmission. The engine is equipped with a stop-start function, so you can save on fuel. When properly equipped, the Traverse can tow up to 5,000 pounds, which is enough for a small trailer, boat, or a load of ATVs for weekend adventures.
As a family-oriented SUV, the Traverse offers comfortable ride quality and agility to tackle curves and turns. Even if the road is chopped up, the Traverse travels over potholes and broken pavement without disrupting passengers.
Traverse Interior
The Traverse offers seating for eight people with three rows of seats or seven people if you choose the optional second-row captain’s chairs. All the seating positions offer head- and legroom for adults, even on long trips. Getting in and out is easy, even in the third row, and the seats offer bolstering and padding for long-distance comfort. Several enhancements are available, including a sunroof and tri-zone automatic climate control.
Offering some of the best numbers in the class, the Traverse offers 23 cubic feet of space behind the third row. With the third row folded down, that space increases to 57.8 cubic feet. If you need to haul large cargo, both rows can fold down for 98.2 cubic feet of space.
Traverse Technology and Safety
The Traverse includes the infotainment 3 interface with all trim levels, which boasts a responsive 7-inch touchscreen, a logically organized menu, and physical knobs and buttons for some functions. Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ compatibility is included, which syncs your smartphone to the car’s system for music, audiobooks, or podcasts on the go. Other standard features include a wi-fi hotspot, Bluetooth® connectivity, and six USB ports, and you can upgrade with navigation, premium sound, satellite radio, and a rear-seat entertainment system.
Several safety features are standard for the Traverse, including a rear-seat reminder that lets you know if you have a child or pet in the backseat and the Teen Driver system, which lets you set parameters for inexperienced drivers and monitor their performance. Numerous features are optional, including parking sensors, a surround-view camera system, and lane-departure warning, a feature that alerts you when you drift out of your lane. Blind-spot monitoring is also available, which alerts you to vehicles or pedestrians near you when you’re changing lanes or reversing.
