Key Features of the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse
Best-in-class 98 cu. ft. Max Cargo Volume
Cargo flexibility is one of the biggest reasons to choose the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse. Chevrolet lists the Traverse with best-in-class 98 cu. ft. max cargo volume, which gives this three-row SUV the kind of usable space families notice immediately. With seating for up to 8, it can handle people-first days when every seat matters, but it also adapts quickly when cargo takes priority. Chevrolet highlights practical examples such as fitting a large dog crate with ease, carrying a wheelchair next to other gear, and loading gear and grocery bags with space to spare. The available power-folding third row helps simplify transitions between passenger and cargo layouts, while the RS adds One-Touch Fold automatic 2nd row functionality. The AutoSense Power Liftgate opens hands-free, which is especially helpful when carrying bags, supplies, or bulky items. Whether the plan involves sports equipment, travel luggage, school projects, or home improvement materials, Traverse keeps the process simple and organized.
17.7-inch Touchscreen Display
The standard 17.7-inch touchscreen display gives the 2027 Traverse a commanding technology presence in the cabin. Its large format helps reduce the need to search through small menus, and it places key functions in a clear, modern interface. Chevrolet pairs this screen with convenient connectivity features, including wireless smartphone connectivity, available Google built-in, and OnStar technology. For drivers who rely on navigation, streaming, calls, messages, and vehicle settings throughout the day, the screen helps create a more intuitive drive. The cabin design also supports visibility and ease of use, giving the driver access to important information without making the interior feel overly complicated. This technology-focused approach is a major advantage for shoppers who want a family SUV that feels up to date from the first drive. Instead of treating connectivity as an afterthought, the Traverse makes the touchscreen central to the experience, helping drivers and passengers stay informed, entertained, and connected.
2.5L Turbo Engine with 8-speed Transmission
Every 2027 Chevrolet Traverse features a 2.5L turbo engine with an 8-speed transmission, giving it a confident foundation for daily driving, highway travel, and loaded family trips. The turbocharged engine is designed to provide responsive power, while the 8-speed transmission helps manage that power smoothly. Chevrolet also equips LT, Z71, and RS with 5,000 lbs. standard towing capacity when using the included trailering equipment, adding real usefulness for drivers with small trailers, recreational gear, or weekend hauling needs. For shoppers who want extra traction and trail-ready hardware, the Z71 brings a more adventurous personality to the lineup. It includes 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. This combination gives the Traverse Z71 a more capable stance while preserving the comfort and versatility expected from a three-row SUV.
Over 20 Standard Safety and Driver Assistance Features
Chevrolet designed the 2027 Traverse with family confidence in mind, equipping it with over 20 standard safety and driver assistance features. Highlighted systems include Front Pedestrian and Bicycle Braking, Blind Zone Steering Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Safety Alert Seat. These technologies are designed to help support driver awareness in common situations such as parking, backing out, changing lanes, and navigating areas where pedestrians or cyclists may be present. The value of these systems becomes clear during daily driving, especially in busy traffic, crowded parking areas, and school or shopping zones. As with any safety or driver assistance technology, these features do not replace the driver’s responsibility to operate the vehicle safely. Drivers should remain attentive to traffic, surroundings, and road conditions at all times. Still, the standard safety content in the Traverse is a meaningful advantage for shoppers comparing three-row SUVs.
Available Super Cruise® Hands-free Driver Assistance Technology
Available Super Cruise® hands-free driver assistance technology is one of the most advanced convenience features offered on the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse. On the RS, Super Cruise® is standard and includes a 3-year OnStar® Super Cruise plan. This technology can support hands-free driving on compatible roads, helping make longer highway travel feel more relaxed when used properly. For drivers who regularly travel between communities, commute on major routes, or take family road trips, Super Cruise® adds a premium layer of comfort and innovation. The RS also gives Traverse a more athletic look, with RS badging, a flat-bottom steering wheel, Red décor, sporty blackout features including the grille, roof rails, and black badging, plus 22-inch high gloss Black-painted aluminum wheels. Chevrolet also offers fresh design details across the lineup, including Twilight Blue available on RS, Trillium Green Metallic available on LT and RS, and a new Oregon seat color available on Z71.
