There was a time when drivers who wanted to maximize their passenger and cargo capacity were limited to minivans and full-size SUVs; the only other choices were a couple of midsize models that mostly delivered utility without driving excitement, style, or amenities. Thanks to Chevrolet automotive designers and engineers, you don't a bland minivan or a bulky and expensive SUV. With the new Chevy Traverse, you get a stylish midsize crossover with three seating rows for you and up to seven adult passengers to ride in full comfort.
Chevrolet has been releasing new Traverse models across two generations for more than a decade. The first-generation Chevy Traverse was not a crossover; it was a midsize SUV with a larger exterior frame that did not help in terms of fuel efficiency. The current generation of the Traverse, which you can get in from our dealership in Edgefield now, is a midsize urban crossover built on a lightweight chassis.
A Family-Friendly Weekend Warrior
No other midsize crossover provides as much space for passengers and cargo as the new Chevrolet Traverse. The default seating configuration is two bucket seats in the front and two bench seats in the rear; this allows you, for example, to drive seven adults to the airport with their carry-on suitcases in the rear cargo space. With all seats folded down, you get a cavernous 97 cubic feet for cargo storage.
If you plan on taking the family on long road trips beyond Greenwood, you may want to consider the Traverse trim levels with optional captain's chairs for the second row. This configuration provides greater comfort for up to six adult passengers, and you can improve it even more with upgrades such as a panoramic sunroof. You can explore light off-road trails with optional all-wheel drive; nonetheless, you also have the Chevy Traverse Z71 trim package for more capable off-road action thanks to a twin-clutch transmission, tuned suspension with damping, a drive-select system, all-terrain tires, and a trailering system for towing up to 5,000 pounds.
A Stylish Urban Crossover
As previously mentioned, the new Chevy Traverse design gives it sculpted panels, a prominent grille, a sloping roofline, and a streamlined look complete with a modern arrangement of LED headlights. The rear end evokes the style of sporty hatchbacks, and you can maximize the exterior styling with the Midnight Edition visual appearance packages or the RS trim level, which transform the Traverse with details such as metallic coating, chrome accents, dark aluminum wheels, and others. As expected, the off-road Z71 trim level gives the Traverse a more rugged appearance.
Technology Features and Smart Safety Functions
Many of the features and upgrades in the new Chevy Traverse are the kind normally associated with full-size luxury SUVs. A high-resolution infotainment touchscreen takes center stage with a 17.7-inch display; the system is powered by voice-activated Google apps such as Maps and Gmail. You can synchronize your iPhone or Android device wirelessly, and you have up to six USB ports around the cabin for charging.
An 11-inch Driver Information Center displays the speed, fuel level, and turn-by-turn directions right in front of you. With the optional head-up display, you can project speed, navigation, and other data onto the windshield. A Bose premium audio package with immersive is available and highly recommended for road trips.
The new Chevy Traverse comes with standard driver-assist functions such as blind spot alerts, emergency braking, rear parking camera with guidance, lane departure warnings, and a "teen driver" mode for maximum safety. These features work together to keep you protected while traveling on Aiken roads.
