What Are the Features of the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse?
Whether you're looking for premium luxury amenities or off-road capability, there's a trim of the 2027 Chevy Traverse that suits your needs. The team at our Lewistown-area Chevrolet dealership can help you familiarize yourself with the features of this new Chevy SUV. From family-friendly seating configurations to sporty styling, there's an option to appeal to all types of Pennsylvania drivers.
Exterior Style
The 2027 Traverse presents a confident, upright exterior that reads as modern without being flashy, a practical choice for families who want a vehicle that looks composed parked outside a school, a hardware store, or a community event. The body measures 204.5 inches in overall length, 79.6 inches wide, and 69.6 inches tall, giving it a proportional stance that fills a parking space without overwhelming it.
Trim-level styling cues do differentiate the lineup meaningfully. The RS includes standard black trim around the side windows, a detail that darkens the brightwork for a sportier appearance, while the LT and High Country trims retain chrome and bright window surrounds. The Z71 adds front tow and recovery hooks as standard exterior equipment, a functional touch that signals its off-road orientation at a glance.
A roof spoiler comes standard, and chrome/silver roof rails are fitted on the High Country trims, while the RS and Z71 feature black roof rails. The hands-free power liftgate and power hatch pull-down with memory are standard across the board, making loading cargo convenient in any weather.
Power and Handling
Every 2027 Traverse runs the same turbocharged 2.5L four-cylinder engine producing 328 hp at 5,500 rpm and 326 lb-ft of torque at 3,500 rpm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. That torque figure, available at a relatively low rpm, is what matters most when climbing the rolling ridges of central Pennsylvania's Ridge and Valley terrain or merging onto a highway with a loaded cargo area.
The drivetrain choice is the single most consequential decision in this lineup. The AWD configuration distributes power between all four wheels automatically, which matters on leaf-covered back road, on wet pavement after a Juniata River valley rain, and on unpaved access roads near local parks. The FWD configuration is well-suited for paved daily driving and offers slightly better fuel economy: 20 city / 26 highway / 22 combined mpg versus 20 city / 24 highway / 21 combined mpg for the AWD variants.
The Z71 deserves special mention for buyers who venture beyond pavement. It comes standard with all-terrain tires on 18-inch alloy wheels (rather than the all-season tires on other trims), a descent control system, and front tow and recovery hooks, a package that makes it the most capable Traverse for gravel roads and light trail use. Ground clearance on the Z71 measures 7.8 inches compared to 6.8 inches on the other trims, and its approach angle improves to 21 degrees (versus 15 degrees) with a departure angle of 24 degrees (versus 22 degrees). These are not dramatic off-road numbers, but they are meaningful for the kind of rural Pennsylvania driving that involves uneven shoulders, seasonal road conditions, and boat ramp approaches.
Spacious Cabin Design
The 2027 Traverse seats up to 8 passengers across three rows (thanks to an available second-row bench seat on the LT trim), and the interior dimensions reflect genuine attention to usability rather than simply fitting a third row as an afterthought.
| Dimension | Measurement |
|---|---|
| Front headroom | 42.6 in |
| Second-row headroom | 40 in |
| Third-row headroom | 38.3 in |
| Front legroom | 44.3 in |
| Second-row legroom | 41.5 in |
| Third-row legroom | 32.1 in |
| Front shoulder room | 62.3 in |
| Second-row shoulder room | 62.2 in |
| Third-row shoulder room | 57.7 in |
| Cargo (all seats up) | 22.9 cu ft |
| Cargo (all seats folded) | 97.6 cu ft |
| Cargo loading floor height | 30.7 in |
The third row in the Traverse offers plenty of room for children and workable room for shorter adults on trips of moderate length. 57.7 inches shoulder room in the third row means three children can sit side by side without constant elbow friction.
With all seats in place, the roughly 23 cu ft of cargo space behind the third row fits a week's worth of groceries, a set of fishing poles, or a stroller. Fold everything flat and that number grows to about 98 cu ft, enough for lumber from the hardware store, a full set of camping gear, or supplies for a community fair booth. The loading floor sits 30.7 inches off the ground, a height that makes lifting heavier items manageable without a step stool.
Seating materials vary by trim. The LT comes standard with cloth seats in either Jet Black or Jet Black/Gideon two-tone, with Jet Black Evotex synthetic leather available as an option. The RS includes standard Evotex synthetic leather upholstery. The High Country steps up to Evotex Ultra with Natural Tan accents as a standard interior choice. The Z71 comes standard with Jet Black with Oregon Evotex synthetic leather.
Front climate control operates across three independent zones, with rear controls for second-row passengers. The driver's seat offers 6-way power adjustment with memory; the passenger seat provides 5-way power adjustment. Both front seats include heating and ventilation on the High Country and RS trims, while the LT and Z71 include heated front seats. Second-row seats on the High Country and RS also include heating. The second row folds asymmetrically and slides manually for third-row access.
Connectivity and Convenience
The 2027 Traverse's infotainment setup centers on a 17.7-inch diagonal touchscreen paired with an 11-inch digital instrument cluster, a dual-screen layout that keeps navigation visible without pulling the driver's eyes far from the road. Both displays are standard across all trims.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto come standard on every trim, so phones connect without cables from day one. The system also includes a built-in Google voice assistant, a built-in internet browser, and over-the-air software update capability, which means the Traverse's software can improve over time without a dealership visit.
Charging provisions are thorough: 4 USB ports at the front, 2 at the second row, and 2 at the third row, totaling 8 USB charging connections throughout the cabin. A wireless charging pad is standard, along with a 12V outlet in the cargo area. The vehicle also includes a main power supply (120V outlet) on the RS, High Country, and Z71 trims, useful for powering devices at a campsite or tailgate.
OnStar telematics comes standard with a 96-month (8-year) subscription covering remote services including remote lock/unlock, remote start, vehicle diagnostics, find-my-car, and send-to-car navigation. The embedded Wi-Fi hotspot provides a 3-month trial subscription. SiriusXM satellite radio with a 3-month trial is included on all trims, with an optional 3 Years SiriusXM Subscription upgrade available.
The High Country, and RS trims include Super Cruise as a standard feature, Chevrolet's hands-free driver assistance system that manages steering, braking, and acceleration on compatible divided highways. For the LT and Z71, Super Cruise is available through the Enhance Driving Package option. Adaptive Cruise Control - Advanced is standard on the LT and Z71 trims at the base level. The navigation system includes 96 months of traffic information and map updates.
The Traverse also supports Keyless Open and Start, multiple user profiles, a programmable garage door opener on the High Country and RS trims, and memorized mirror and steering wheel positions on those same trims.
Advanced Safety Features
The 2027 Traverse carries 7 airbags as standard equipment across all trims: driver and passenger front airbags, front side airbags, a hip airbag at the front, and side curtain airbags covering all three rows. Seat belt pre-tensioners with height adjustability are fitted front and rear, and 3-point belts cover all third-row seating positions including the center seat. ABS, electronic traction control, electronic stability control, hill hold assist, and auto brake hold are all standard. The braking system uses four ventilated disc brakes at all four corners. Active safety systems are consistent across the lineup at the standard level, including:
- Forward Collision Alert, which activates at speeds as low as 5 mph and triggers automatic emergency braking at low speeds front and rear.
- Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, which uses radar and camera to detect crossing traffic at intersections.
- Rear Cross Traffic Braking, which uses radar to detect vehicles approaching from the side when reversing.
- Lane Keep Assist, which applies steering correction when the vehicle drifts toward lane markings.
- Side Blind Zone Alert, which monitors the blind spots alongside the vehicle.
The High Country, RS, and Z71 trims add HD Surround Vision, a 360-degree camera system that stitches together feeds from cameras mounted at the front, rear, and sides to display a bird's-eye view of the vehicle's surroundings. This system, branded HD Surround Vision, is particularly useful when maneuvering a 204.5-inch vehicle in tight parking lots or backing toward a trailer hitch. Rear Park Assist with sensors is standard on all trims; the LT trims include it as a standard feature as well.
2027 Chevrolet Traverse FAQs
Does the 2027 Traverse really fit eight people comfortably?
The third row offers 32.1 inches of legroom, 38.3 inches of headroom, and 57.7 inches of shoulder room, dimensions that accommodate children and shorter adults on trips of reasonable length. The second row provides 41.5 inches of legroom and 40 inches of headroom, which is genuinely comfortable for adults. The 2+3+3 seating configuration available with the second-row bench seat on the LT trim means the Traverse can accommodate as many people as significantly larger SUVs, while maintaining comfort for passengers. For families with two adults and three or four children, the Traverse's layout works well in daily use.
Is AWD a worthwhile investment for central Pennsylvania drivers?
For buyers who drive rural or secondary roads regularly, particularly during wet autumn months or in winter weather, the AWD option on the Traverse offers meaningful traction confidence. The AWD system distributes power automatically without driver input. FWD models are efficient and capable on paved roads, returning 22 combined mpg versus 21 combined mpg for AWD. The Z71 goes further, adding all-terrain tires, 7.8 inches of ground clearance, and descent control for buyers who routinely drive unpaved surfaces.
What is the towing capacity of the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse?
All Traverse trims are rated to tow up to 5,000 lbs when properly equipped. Every Traverse includes trailer towing preparation and Hitch Guidance with Hitch View as standard features, which uses the rear camera to assist with trailer alignment. The High Country and RS trims add a 360-degree camera extension for trailer assist, making hookup easier. A 5,000-lb rating covers a typical fishing boat, a small utility trailer, or a camper trailer suitable for weekend trips.
