Breaking Down the Trims of the Chevrolet Traverse

The newest version of the Chevrolet Traverse is one of the most highly-anticipated SUVs for the new model year. Its responsive acceleration, powerful infotainment center, and spacious interior help this four-door SUV stand out from the rest of its class. What really makes this Chevy SUV stand out is its six distinct trim levels.

While every Chevrolet Traverse model is powered by the same 3.6-liter V6 engine (310 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque), drivers can opt for either front-wheel or all-wheel-drive. From there, they have half a dozen incredible model options to ensure they get the rig they want.
