Key Features of the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse

Best-in-Class 98 cu. ft. Max Cargo Volume

The 2027 Chevrolet Traverse is engineered around usable space, and its best-in-class 98 cu. ft. max cargo volume is one of its strongest advantages. This is the kind of room that matters in real life. It can support a large dog crate, mobility equipment, grocery bags, sports gear, luggage, furniture boxes, or supplies for a home refresh. Seating for up to 8 gives larger families and groups the flexibility to bring more passengers, while available 7-passenger seating creates easier second-row access depending on configuration. Smart Slide Seats help passengers reach the third row with less effort, which is especially helpful when the cabin is full. The RS model adds One-Touch Fold automatic 2nd row capability, and an available power-folding third row adds convenience when switching from passenger space to cargo space. The AutoSense Power Liftgate can open hands-free, making loading easier when arms are full. Instead of treating cargo space as a simple number, Chevrolet designed the Traverse to make that space practical, accessible, and ready for varied routines.

Standard 17.7-inch Touchscreen Display

The standard 17.7-inch touchscreen display gives the 2027 Traverse a high-tech center point that feels upscale and intuitive. A large screen matters because it reduces visual clutter and makes common controls easier to read and reach. Whether checking navigation, managing audio, using wireless smartphone connectivity, or accessing vehicle settings, the display helps keep important information organized. Chevrolet also highlights Google built-in, which can help drivers use familiar Google services directly through the vehicle interface when properly equipped. For families and professionals who spend meaningful time behind the wheel, this technology helps the Traverse feel more like a connected workspace and command center. The digital layout pairs well with integrated steering wheel controls and a modern driver display, creating a cockpit designed for confidence. The goal is not technology for show. It is technology that helps with real tasks: directions, communication, entertainment, vehicle settings, and comfort adjustments. The Traverse cabin feels current, clean, and easy to understand.

Available Super Cruise® Hands-Free Driver Assistance Technology

Available Super Cruise® hands-free driver assistance technology gives the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse a premium driving advantage, especially for shoppers who spend time on compatible roads. On RS, Chevrolet notes standard Super Cruise® with a 3-year OnStar® Super Cruise plan, helping add advanced convenience to a sporty, well-equipped model. Super Cruise® is designed to support hands-free driving on compatible roads while the driver remains attentive and ready to take control. It can help reduce fatigue on longer highway drives and add a more relaxed rhythm to commutes or regional travel. This technology works alongside the Traverse SUV’s broader technology suite, including OnStar® services and wireless connectivity. It is important to remember that safety or driver assistance features are no substitute for the driver’s responsibility to operate the vehicle safely. Still, for drivers who want a modern SUV with sophisticated driver assistance, the Traverse provides a compelling option that feels well aligned with today’s connected driving expectations.

2.5L Turbo Engine with 8-Speed Transmission

Every 2027 Traverse model is built around a 2.5L turbo engine paired with an 8-speed transmission, giving the SUV responsive power for daily driving and enough capability for more demanding plans. The turbocharged engine helps the Traverse feel confident in city traffic, on highway merges, and when the cabin is loaded with passengers and cargo. Chevrolet also emphasizes versatile drive modes, allowing the Traverse to adapt to different road conditions and driver needs. LT brings trusted comfort for the road ahead, Z71 adds a more rugged setup, and RS focuses on aggressive street style while still retaining the SUV’s core capability. The Traverse also includes standard towing capacity of 5,000 lbs. with included trailering equipment across LT, Z71, and RS, making it useful for small recreational trailers, gear haulers, and other properly matched loads. This balance of turbocharged power, smooth shifting, and towing readiness gives the Traverse the versatility many shoppers want from a family SUV.

Z71 Off-Road Capability

The 2027 Chevrolet Traverse Z71 is designed for shoppers who want more confidence beyond ordinary pavement while keeping the comfort and versatility of a three-row SUV. Chevrolet describes Z71 as bringing off-road capability for every journey, and the equipment list supports that focus. Z71 includes Terrain Mode and 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. These details are meaningful because capability is not defined by one part alone. The AWD system helps manage traction, the suspension is tuned for rougher routes, the skid plate adds protection, and Hill Descent Control supports controlled downhill travel. Z71 also offers distinctive styling, including practical off-road design elements and an available new Oregon seat color. For drivers who want one SUV for family comfort, cargo room, and occasional dirt-road exploration, Traverse Z71 adds capability without sacrificing the spacious character that makes Traverse so useful.
