2027 Chevrolet Traverse LT

At a glance: 2.5L turbocharged DOHC four-cylinder with SIDI and variable valve timing · 8-speed automatic · all-wheel drive · 5-door SUV · three rows · delivery miles only · Trillium Green Metallic exterior / Jet Black Evotex interior

The engine is Chevrolet's 2.5L turbocharged DOHC four-cylinder with sequential direct injection and variable valve timing — a modern, efficient architecture that suits the Traverse's role as a family-first SUV. Power goes to all four wheels through an 8-speed automatic.

On the safety and driver-assistance side, the Traverse LT brings forward collision mitigation, pedestrian impact prevention, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic collision avoidance, lane keep assist, and adaptive cruise control. The rear camera includes a washer to keep the lens clear in wet or muddy conditions — a thoughtful detail on a vehicle that hauls kids and gear.

Comfort and convenience are equally well covered. Heated front seats and heated door mirrors take the edge off Illinois winters. A hands-free power liftgate means grocery bags and car seats do not require a free hand.

Inside, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot, wireless charging, navigation, premium speakers, and a touch-screen audio system keep everyone connected and entertained. The 360-degree parking view and front and rear parking distance system make tighter spaces — school lots, downtown garages — noticeably less stressful.

A power-sliding door and remote engine start round out the everyday-convenience story. Factory warranty applies.
