The recent redesign that this vehicle went through really made a world of difference. 5. It's a Towing Machine The Chevy Suburban may have lots of cargo space, but sometimes that just isn't enough. You might want to hitch up a trailer, a camper, or a boat, and take a fun little trip. You can do that in the Chevy Suburban thanks to its ability to tow between 7,500 and 8,300 pounds.

Interior With leather-appointed seats, cupholders, and an entertainment system, every one of your rides will be a blast. This SUV comes with power outlets, a noise cancellation system, and a premium Bose sound system so you can enjoy your favorite tunes while driving. It also offers "Smart Slide Seating" so you can add extra legroom when needed. For your storage needs, there are hidden compartments, and the third row folds flat to add storage space. Pricing Pricing for the Traverse starts around $30K for a basic model and can go up to $59K for the upscale High Country Model. For a mid-range vehicle, with all safety apps and functionalities included, you can expect to pay around $41K. Most of the technology and safety features are not standard-included, so you can pick and choose the ones that you really need and only pay for those. New/Unique Features A very surprising and handy feature is the "Teen Driver", which limits distractions and turns on safety controls, such as "Buckle to Park" which prevents drivers from shifting from park while the seatbelt is not fastened. The Traverse comes with an infotainment system that seamlessly integrates with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a high-definition, 8-inch touchscreen, as well as USB ports in every seat row. An Additional Safety Layer Chevy has developed dozens of safety functionalities to ensure that each of your trips is a pleasure. For example, Adaptive Cruise Control, which measures the distance between vehicles and helps control speed. There's also a rearview camera, automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert, and lane departure warning. To deal with complicated or slippery roads, the Traverse comes with an All-Wheel Drive system, and you can even add torque to the rear wheels while driving off-road. Traction can also be added when driving on ice and/or snow. The Chevy Traverse is always a top competitor when it comes to midsize SUVs and the 2021 edition is not an exception.
