As far as midsize SUV options go, the 2021 Chevrolet Traverse is an impressive choice for families or anyone needing an ample amount of cargo room, while retaining decent fuel efficiency. Here are all the specs on this popular SUV.

Mechanical

Unlike other SUVs, the Traverse only comes with one engine across its entire lineup. The 3.6L V6 Engine is paired with a 9-speed Automatic Transmission. Not only does this engine produce an impressive 310 horsepower and 266 lb. ft. of torque when paired with its 9-speed transmission, it can provide a comfortable ride while maintaining optimal fuel efficiency.

The Traverse comes equipped with a Driver Mode Selector. This feature allows the driver to take a more active role in how their car handles current driving conditions. Depending on which trim and drivetrain you have, you will be able to change from Front-Wheel Drive to All-Wheel Drive, Off-Road Mode, and Tow/Haul Mode.

Exterior

The 2021 Traverse has eight sleek available exterior color options which include Iridescent Pearl, Satin Steel Metallic, Silver Ice Metallic, Summit White, Mosaic Black Metallic, Black Cherry Metallic, Graphite Metallic, Cajun Red Tintcoat. The Traverse also offers several exterior styling packages to elevate the outside of the vehicle even more.

Beyond stylish aesthetics, the Traverse includes some great exterior convenience features as well. For example, the available hands-free liftgate makes any shopping trip convenient, especially when your hands are full and you need to access the rear cargo area.

Interior

Historically, one of the most well-known features of the Chevrolet Traverse has been its impressive cargo capacity and the 2021 Traverse is no different. It has a best-in-class maximum cargo capacity of 98.2 cubic feet. It can also carry eight people making it a leader in both cargo space and family-friendly hauling.

Having the ability to seat eight people and seat them conveniently, can be two very different things. However, the standard Smart Slide® second-row and available Power-Folding third row ensure that hauling the maximum number of people and piling them in are both equally convenient.

Keeping eight people comfortable, entertained, and connected to the world may sometimes seem unattainable. The Traverse has taken these requirements and excelled all expectations. With Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, Active Noise Cancelation, 7” Diagonal Color Touchscreen, 3.5” Diagonal Driver Information Center, 4G LTE Wi-Fi® Hotspot capabilities, six USB Ports (two for each row), 10 cupholders, Tri-Zone Automatic Climate Control, available leather seating, available SkyScape® Dual-Panel Power Sunroof, and up to two hidden storage compartments to keep all your valuables safe, consider you and your passengers covered.

Here are some additional interior upgrade packages to increase the convenience and enjoyment of your drive even further.

Safety, Security, and Technology

Although the list of standard safety features for the Traverse isn’t lengthy, its list of available safety features is sky high. It comes equipped with a Rear Vision Camera with dynamic guidelines, and Teen Driver Technology that makes sharing the new SUV with your young driver a little more comforting. This innovative technology includes a Buckle-To-Drive feature which requires the seatbelts to be buckled in order for the vehicle to move. It also enables parents to keep a closer eye on driving skills that may need more attention using the in-vehicle report card which shows how your teen performed in designated categories.

Available safety features include a Forward Collision Alert, Front Pedestrian Braking, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, Rear Park Assist, Rear Camera Mirror, Adaptive Cruise Control, and HD Surround Vision which uniquely displays a digital overhead image of the area around your vehicle to aid in safe vehicle departure maneuvers. These advanced features help create the safest possible driving condition in any situation. Some safety features can be found included in select interior upgrade packages. Here is a look at the available features found in other upgraded packages:

Towing and Payload

It isn’t surprising that with its impressively powerful engine the max towing capacity is also remarkable. With the ability to tow up to 5,000 lbs., you can haul your people and your boat on that next camping trip.

Fuel Economy

For a vehicle with as much standard power as the Traverse, it still maintains a healthy fuel efficiency of 18 mpg City / 27 mpg Highway. This is an advantage that only select SUVs can claim.
