Key Features of the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse

Best-in-Class 98 Cu. Ft. Max Cargo Volume

Cargo space is one of the strongest reasons to consider the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse. Chevrolet highlights best-in-class 98 cu. ft. max cargo volume, giving this SUV the kind of everyday usefulness that families, pet owners, hobbyists, and road trip planners can all appreciate. With the seats configured properly, Traverse can accommodate large items while still maintaining a comfortable and refined cabin environment. The flexible layout is designed to help with grocery bags, sports equipment, luggage, home improvement supplies, and even a large dog crate with ease. Chevrolet also notes that Traverse can fit a wheelchair comfortably next to gear, reinforcing its focus on meaningful utility. Available power-folding third-row seating adds convenience when you need to adapt the cabin quickly, while One-Touch Fold automatic 2nd row seating on RS brings even more helpful functionality. The AutoSense Power Liftgate opens hands-free, which is especially useful when your hands are full. Rather than simply offering space on paper, Traverse makes that space easier to access and use.

17.7-Inch Touchscreen Display with Connected Technology

The 2027 Traverse places technology front and center with a standard 17.7-inch touchscreen display. This large screen helps create a modern command center for maps, media, vehicle settings, and connected features. Chevrolet also includes wireless smartphone connectivity, helping reduce cable clutter while keeping familiar apps within reach. Google built-in further enhances the experience by integrating useful navigation and voice-enabled functionality into the vehicle’s technology ecosystem. OnStar® connectivity adds another layer of support and convenience for drivers who value connected services. The cabin layout is designed to feel intuitive, so the technology does not become a distraction. Instead, it supports the drive with easy-to-view information and straightforward access to the tools many drivers use daily. From managing a commute to finding a destination, choosing entertainment, or helping passengers stay connected, Traverse technology feels properly matched to the needs of a modern three-row SUV. The result is a vehicle that feels current, capable, and easy to live with.

Available Super Cruise® Hands-Free Driver Assistance Technology

Available Super Cruise® hands-free driver assistance technology is one of the most advanced features offered on the 2027 Traverse, and it is standard on the RS with a 3-year OnStar® Super Cruise plan. This system is designed to support hands-free driving on compatible roads, helping reduce fatigue during longer highway stretches when conditions allow. For families and commuters who spend time on major routes, available Super Cruise® can make the drive feel more relaxed while still requiring the driver to remain attentive. It complements the Traverse mission well because this SUV is built for both routine use and longer travel. The technology feels especially fitting in a spacious three-row vehicle where comfort and convenience matter for everyone on board. Chevrolet pairs this advanced system with a cabin that already includes connected tech and a large touchscreen, giving drivers a premium sense of control. While no driver assistance system replaces responsible driving, available Super Cruise® is a meaningful upgrade for shoppers who want advanced highway confidence.

2.5L Turbo Engine, 8-Speed Transmission, and 5,000 Lbs. Standard Towing Capacity

Every 2027 Traverse uses a 2.5L turbo engine paired with an 8-speed transmission, giving the SUV a consistent performance foundation across LT, Z71, and RS models. The powertrain is designed to thrive on urban streets and backcountry trails, offering the responsiveness needed for merging, passing, and carrying passengers with confidence. Chevrolet also equips LT, Z71, and RS with included trailering equipment that supports a standard 5,000 lbs. towing capacity. That capability is valuable for drivers who occasionally tow a small trailer, utility load, personal watercraft, or other recreational equipment. The 8-speed transmission helps keep power delivery smooth and composed, while the turbocharged engine gives Traverse the confident feel shoppers expect from a modern SUV. Rather than focusing only on passenger comfort, Chevrolet engineered Traverse to handle practical jobs as well. It is a smart match for households that need one vehicle to serve multiple roles, from daily transportation to weekend hauling and family travel.

Z71 Capability and Distinct Trim Personalities

The 2027 Traverse lineup gives shoppers three distinct personalities. LT delivers trusted comfort for the road ahead with 7-passenger or available 8-passenger seating, Smart Slide Seats, AutoSense Power Liftgate, and the standard 17.7-inch touchscreen display. Z71 builds on that foundation with rugged hardware and styling, including Terrain Mode, Hill Descent Control, an Advanced Twin-Clutch AWD System, off-road suspension, a skid plate, and 18-inch high gloss Black machined-faced wheels with all-terrain tires. For drivers who want practical confidence beyond pavement, Z71 is especially compelling. RS takes a different approach with aggressive street style, RS badging, a flat-bottom steering wheel, Red décor, sporty blackout elements including grille, roof rails, and black badging, plus 22-inch high gloss Black-painted aluminum wheels. Chevrolet also adds fresh design choices, including Twilight Blue available on RS, Trillium Green Metallic available on LT and RS, and a new Oregon seat color available on Z71. This trim variety helps shoppers find a Traverse that matches both function and personality.
