Key Features of the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse

2.5L Turbo Engine With 8-Speed Transmission

The 2027 Chevrolet Traverse uses a 2.5L turbo engine matched with an 8-speed transmission, giving this three-row SUV the confident response drivers expect from a modern family vehicle. The turbocharged setup is especially valuable because Traverse needs to feel composed with passengers aboard, cargo loaded, or a trailer connected. Chevrolet also includes trailering equipment across LT, Z71, and RS, supporting a standard towing capacity of 5,000 lbs.* when properly equipped. That makes Traverse useful for small campers, utility trailers, recreational gear, and light hauling tasks. The 8-speed transmission helps keep power delivery smooth, which is important for local roads, highway passing, and rolling rural routes. For shoppers who want added capability, the Z71 builds on this foundation with Terrain Mode, Hill Descent Control, an Advanced Twin-Clutch AWD System, off-road suspension, a skid plate, and 18-inch high gloss Black machined-faced wheels with all-terrain tires.

Best-in-class* 98 cu. ft. Max Cargo Volume*

One of the strongest reasons to choose Traverse is its cargo versatility. Chevrolet identifies the 2027 Traverse as offering best-in-class* 98 cu. ft. max cargo volume*, and that space is easy to appreciate in daily use. With seating for up to 8*, Traverse can support growing families, carpool schedules, road trips, and group outings. When more cargo room is needed, the cabin can adapt for larger items such as home improvement supplies, multiple bags, outdoor gear, a large dog crate, or accessibility equipment. Chevrolet highlights the ability to fit a large dog crate with ease, a wheelchair alongside gear, and grocery bags with space to spare. The AutoSense Power Liftgate adds convenience by opening hands-free, helping when your arms are full. RS shoppers also gain One-Touch Fold automatic 2nd row seating, while an available power-folding third row makes reconfiguring the cargo area even simpler.

17.7-inch Touchscreen Display

The standard 17.7-inch touchscreen display gives the 2027 Traverse a modern command center that feels substantial, clear, and easy to use. A large display matters in a three-row SUV because navigation prompts, media controls, camera views, phone integration, and vehicle settings should be simple to see at a glance. Chevrolet also offers wireless smartphone connectivity, helping reduce cable clutter while keeping favorite apps and contacts within reach. Google built-in is included in the technology story, supporting integrated access to helpful digital tools when properly equipped and connected. The cabin layout places technology where it supports the driver rather than overwhelming the experience. For families, this screen can help simplify school pickup coordination, road trip playlists, directions to new destinations, and quick adjustments to comfort settings. It adds a premium feel while keeping the focus on convenience.

Over 20 Standard Safety and Driver Assistance Features*

Safety is central to the Traverse mission. Chevrolet equips the 2027 Traverse with over 20 standard safety and driver assistance features*, offering helpful support for common driving situations. Highlighted systems include Front Pedestrian and Bicycle Braking, Blind Zone Steering Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Safety Alert Seat. These systems are designed to help improve awareness and confidence, especially in traffic, parking lots, crosswalk areas, and multilane driving. The Traverse is still built around driver responsibility, so safe operation, attention to surroundings, and proper vehicle control always matter. Even so, having a broad safety package as standard equipment is a major advantage for families and commuters alike. For a three-row SUV carrying valuable passengers and cargo, this level of safety support makes the Traverse feel more reassuring every time the drive begins.

Available Super Cruise® Hands-Free Driver Assistance Technology

The 2027 Traverse offers available Super Cruise® hands-free driver assistance technology, bringing a premium layer of convenience to compatible roads. On RS, Chevrolet lists Super Cruise® as standard along with a 3-year OnStar® Super Cruise plan*. This feature can help reduce fatigue during longer highway drives by supporting hands-free operation in appropriate conditions while the driver remains attentive. Super Cruise® fits the Traverse personality well because many shoppers choose a three-row SUV for regional travel, family trips, and frequent highway time. The RS also adds a sportier personality with RS badging, a flat-bottom steering wheel, Red décor, blackout exterior features including the grille, roof rails, and black badging, plus 22-inch high gloss Black-painted aluminum wheels. For shoppers who want advanced technology with a more aggressive street-style look, the RS brings a compelling blend of comfort, design, and innovation.
