Key Features of the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse

Best-in-class 98 cu. ft. max cargo volume

Cargo flexibility is one of the biggest reasons to choose the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse. Chevrolet notes that Traverse offers best-in-class cargo volume with up to 98 cu. ft. of max cargo volume, giving drivers room for the real things life requires. That can mean a large dog crate, a wheelchair and gear, grocery bags, school backpacks, luggage, small furniture, or weekend equipment. Seating for up to 8 helps the Traverse function as a true people mover, while the flexible interior layout helps it quickly adapt when cargo becomes the priority. LT offers 7-passenger seating or available 8-passenger seating, while Smart Slide Seats support easier access through the cabin. The RS adds One-Touch Fold automatic 2nd row seating, and an available power-folding third row can make cargo changes even more convenient. The AutoSense Power Liftgate helps open the rear liftgate hands-free, which is especially useful when carrying bags, gear, or supplies. Traverse is not just large for the sake of being large. It is thoughtfully packaged to help make daily loading, passenger access, and storage simpler.

17.7-inch touchscreen display

The standard 17.7-inch touchscreen display gives the 2027 Traverse a modern command center that is easy to see and designed around everyday usability. A larger screen can make navigation, audio, phone functions, and vehicle settings feel more intuitive because key information has room to be displayed clearly. Chevrolet pairs this display with convenient connectivity, including wireless smartphone connectivity, available Google built-in, and OnStar® features. For shoppers who rely on maps, music, calls, messages, and connected services, this technology supports a smoother routine without making the cabin feel cluttered. The digital experience in Traverse is also valuable for families because it helps organize the drive. Directions, media, and key vehicle information can be accessed from the front seat while passengers enjoy a spacious three-row cabin. The system helps make the SUV feel advanced without being overwhelming. When test driving, online shoppers should spend time using the screen, pairing a smartphone if possible, checking visibility from the driver seat, and confirming that the interface feels natural.

2.5L turbo engine with 8-speed transmission

Every 2027 Traverse model is powered by a 2.5L turbo engine with an 8-speed transmission, giving the SUV a confident performance foundation. This pairing is designed to handle the range of tasks three-row SUV drivers expect, including weekday commuting, passenger hauling, and longer-distance travel. Chevrolet describes Traverse as ready for adventures big and small, and the turbocharged engine plays an important role in that character. The 8-speed transmission helps manage power delivery smoothly, while selectable drive modes help the vehicle adapt to different driving situations. Traverse also offers 5,000 lbs. of standard towing capacity with included trailering equipment on LT, Z71, and RS, making it a practical choice for shoppers who need to tow a small trailer, outdoor gear, or recreational equipment. The goal is versatility rather than single-purpose performance. Traverse feels built for drivers who may need to move people during the week, tow on the weekend, and still enjoy a refined cabin throughout the entire drive.

Z71 capability with Advanced Twin-Clutch AWD System

The Z71 trim gives the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse a more rugged personality for drivers who want added confidence beyond pavement. Chevrolet positions Traverse Z71 as the model with off-road capability for every journey, adding Terrain Mode and Hill Descent Control, an Advanced Twin-Clutch AWD System, off-road suspension, skid plate protection, and 18-inch high-gloss Black machined-faced wheels with all-terrain tires. These upgrades make Z71 especially compelling for shoppers who spend time on gravel roads, uneven paths, rural driveways, recreation areas, or job sites where extra traction and underbody confidence are helpful. At the same time, Z71 still keeps the comfort and versatility that make Traverse appealing as a family SUV. Available Oregon seat color adds a distinctive cabin touch, while the three-row layout and cargo versatility remain central strengths. Z71 is not simply an appearance package. It gives Traverse a more adventure-ready setup while keeping daily drivability, passenger space, and technology at the forefront.

Available Super Cruise® hands-free driver assistance technology

Technology in the 2027 Traverse goes beyond entertainment and connectivity. Available Super Cruise® hands-free driver assistance technology brings advanced highway driving support to the lineup, and it is standard on the RS with a 3-year OnStar® Super Cruise plan. This system is designed to help reduce fatigue on compatible roads when used properly, while still requiring the driver to remain attentive and ready to take control. The RS trim also adds sporty personality with RS badging, a flat-bottom steering wheel, Red décor, blackout exterior features, and 22-inch high gloss Black-painted aluminum wheels. That combination makes RS attractive for drivers who want premium street-style accents and advanced technology in one package. Traverse also includes over 20 standard safety and driver assistance features, with Chevrolet highlighting systems such as Front Pedestrian and Bicycle Braking, Blind Zone Steering Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Safety Alert Seat. Safety or driver assistance features are no substitute for attentive driving, but these systems can add meaningful support.
