About the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse
3rd generation (2024-present), fourth model year; minor technology update
Chevrolet positions the Traverse as a spacious three-row family SUV centered on passenger room, useful cargo capacity, simple large-screen technology, and everyday towing capability. Its adult-friendly third row and nearly 98 cubic feet of maximum cargo space separate it from many midsize rivals. The range covers practical family use, permanent off-road hardware in Z71, a street-focused RS appearance, and the comfort-oriented High Country without changing the model’s core focus on space and versatility.
The LT remains the practical family trim, with three-row seating, heated front seats, a hands-free liftgate, and a 17.7-inch touchscreen. Z71 adds trail-focused hardware such as advanced AWD and a skid plate, while RS emphasizes sporty styling and High Country focuses on richer materials and comfort features. Every trim uses the same 328-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine and eight-speed automatic transmission.
