The 2021 Chevrolet Traverse is one of the best options for drivers looking for a midsize SUV. This one has three seat rows, with plenty of legroom between them, and can seat up to eight people without sacrificing comfort. With this SUV, Chevy addressed one of the most common driver’s concerns: fuel efficiency. The Traverse can give you up to 18 miles per gallon in the city and up to 27 miles per gallon if you are driving on a highway.
Engine
A powerful and sturdy vehicle, the Traverse offers great cargo space (98 cubic feet) to transport everything you need. It can also tow up to 5,000 pounds. It’s available in 7 different exterior colors and 3 interior color schemes. This beloved Chevy comes with a 3.6L V6 powerful engine, 4-wheel antilock disk brakes, and a 9-speed automatic transmission.
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. Give us a call or visit us at Walker Chevrolet to learn more about what this powerful vehicle can do for you. You’ll be surprised at all the excellent deals we have to offer!
