2025 Chevrolet Traverse: Three Rows, 328 Horsepower, and a 17.7-Inch Screen

The Traverse was completely redesigned for this generation, and the result competes hard against the Pilot, the Grand Highlander, and the Palisade — with more power than any of them and one of the largest screens in the class.

Here’s what the 2025 Traverse offers.

Powertrain

A 2.5-liter turbocharged four producing 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic.

Three hundred twenty-eight horsepower is more than most three-row competitors make, including several V6s. It moves a fully loaded Traverse without strain, which is exactly what you want with eight people and their luggage aboard.

Towing up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped — a boat, a small camper, or a utility trailer.

Available all-wheel drive with selectable drive modes for changing conditions.

The Trims Worth Knowing

LS and LT — the volume trims, well equipped for family use.

RS — sport styling with blacked-out exterior treatments and unique wheels.

Z71 — the one people don’t expect. Standard all-wheel drive, a lifted suspension, all-terrain tires, and off-road-tuned hardware. If your version of a family SUV includes gravel roads, a lease, or a boat ramp, this is the trim to look at.

High Country — the luxury trim, with the fullest technology and materials list.

The Z71 is genuinely unusual in this segment. Most three-row crossovers offer an appearance package and call it rugged; this one has hardware behind it.

Interior and Technology

A 17.7-inch touchscreen with Google built in — among the largest displays in any SUV at this price, and the standout feature of the redesign.

Google Maps runs natively rather than mirrored from your phone, so navigation works without pairing anything, with live traffic built in. Google Assistant handles voice commands properly, and you can download apps directly to the vehicle. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are there if you’d rather use your phone.

An 11-inch digital instrument cluster puts driving information in front of you.

Seating for up to eight across three rows, with real legroom and headroom in all of them — including the third, which is the difference between a three-row SUV you use and one where the back row stays folded.

Available leather-appointed seating with soft-touch surfaces throughout.

An available 10-speaker Bose premium audio system, wireless charging, and an available dual-panel panoramic sunroof.

Cargo

The Traverse is one of the larger vehicles in its class, and the cargo space behind the third row is what families actually use. Bring your luggage and load it with all eight seats occupied — that test decides three-row SUVs faster than any specification.

Safety

Chevy Safety Assist is standard:

• Automatic Emergency Braking
• Front Pedestrian Braking
• Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
• Forward Collision Alert
• Following Distance Indicator

Available: Adaptive Cruise Control, Surround Vision 360-degree camera, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.

Teen Driver technology lets you set limits and review driving behavior — relevant on a vehicle a new driver in the family may end up borrowing.

Super Cruise hands-free highway driving is available on higher trims. On a long interstate run it genuinely changes how tired you are on arrival. Ask us which vehicles on the lot have it.

Traverse or Tahoe?

Both are three-row SUVs on our lot and they suit different buyers.

Traverse — car-based, better fuel economy, easier to park, more efficient for daily family duty. Right if you’re carrying people rather than towing heavy.

Tahoe — body-on-frame, far more towing capacity, more third-row and cargo space, V8 available. Right if you tow a real trailer or need maximum room.

If you don’t tow above 5,000 pounds, the Traverse does the family job better and costs less to run. If you do, that’s a Tahoe or Suburban conversation.

Bring the Family

Three-row SUVs get decided in the parking lot. Fold the third row, install a car seat, climb into the back yourself, and load your actual luggage with all eight seats up.

While you’re here, try the Google navigation without pairing your phone. Most people are surprised how much better native Maps is than a mirrored phone screen.

Browse our Traverse inventory, compare against the Tahoe and Suburban, or look at the two-row Blazer or Equinox if you don’t need a third row.
