With the third row folded flat, that space balloons to 58 cubes-98 cubic feet with just the front row seats in place. There are 23 cubic feet of cargo room behind the third row, which better than many in its class. With 33 inches of leg room and an upright seating position, adults can sit in the wayback for short stretches a 6-foot-3 editor fit for short trips to dinner without complaints-at least many of them.

The rear doors open wide for easy access, especially with full hands and a child seat. Second-row captain’s chairs help separate warring adolescents, ask us how we know. Second-row riders get good space as well, with more than 38 inches of rear seat leg room. There’s good small-item storage up front too, with just enough cubbies for devices and odd-sized cups. The front seats are comfortable and long-haul friendly with enough room for wide, Midwest American bodies. We mathed all of the above and landed at a 9 for comfort. There are six USB ports, up to eight seats, and at least 10 cupholders. The 2020 Traverse is right-sized for American families, all 4.5 family members with 50 pounds each of requisite gear. The Traverse rides atop a four-wheel independent suspension that smothers road imperfections well. It pitches and rolls like a big ship (it is) but it stays pointed in the right direction with a big on-center spot in the steering wheel. Steering the Traverse is predicable for a big, heavy crossover. The 9-speed in the Traverse is well-equipped for the task and fires off quick shifts without much fuss. The standard V-6 makes good torque across its power band, and there’s enough grunt to spin up the front wheels.Ĭhevy’s all-wheel-drive system is stuck in the 1990s, it requires button taps to turn on and we’re perplexed on why it reappeared in the most recent crossovers. Since the V-6 offers similar fuel economy and better acceleration, we could see the writing on the wall. The 2.0-liter turbo-4 from prior years was boxed out by the V-6, which was better suited to the Traverse’s sizable heft anyway.
It’s teamed to a 9-speed automatic and front- or all-wheel drive. Pared down to just one engine compared to last year, the 2020 Traverse’s performance story is easy.Ī 3.6-liter V-6 that makes 310 hp and 266 pound-feet of torque is the only engine available. It includes a power-adjustable driver’s seat, upgraded cloth interior, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, second-row captain’s chairs, and more available options, including automatic emergency braking for more than $36,000 or $40,000 with all-wheel drive. Our recommended version is a Traverse LT that costs $36,595 with front-wheel drive or $40,395 with all-wheel drive. The wayback is big enough for adults on short trips and behind the third row there are more than 23 cubic feet of room for cargo, which is big for its class.Īutomatic emergency braking is reserved for top trims as a spend-up extra in many configurations and not available in base versions.īase Traverse Ls are front-wheel drive only and don’t offer all-wheel drive. Three rows of seats are fitted into the Traverse, with room for up to eight. The Traverse can tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. It makes 310 horsepower and returns up to 22 mpg combined, which is on par with crossovers its size. The inside is relatively clean and user-friendly, with a 7.0- or 8.0-inch touchscreen in the center.Ī 3.6-liter V-6 powers the Traverse and is mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission and front- or all-wheel drive. It skips some of the looks from Chevy’s newest pickups and SUVs, namely the Tahoe and Suburban, which are bigger than the Traverse. The Traverse is a smoothed-over but rugged-looking family hauler that was refreshed for 2018. It starts at just over $30,000 and tops out at more than $53,000 in top trims with all-wheel drive. Like last year, the Traverse is available in L, LS, LT, RS, Premier, and High Country trims.
