In the mid-size SUV vehicle class, the Chevy Traverse is a standout. With style and performance, along with more cargo space than its competitors, the Traverse is a contender.

The spacious Traverse offers room for your friends and your gear, along with the capability of pulling or going off-road. This mid-size SUV can truly take you wherever you want to go.

Room for What You Need

The Traverse brings a whopping 98.2 cubic feet of cargo space with both back rows of seating folded down. With smart access features such as Second-Row Smart Slide Seating that allows easy access to the third row and the Power-Folding third row, Traverse is configurable to suit where you’re going.

You can readily access the rear cargo bay without rearranging your load via the Hands-Free Power Liftgate. An easy kicking motion over the projected Chevy logo on the ground triggers the sensor to gently lift the rear door for you.

Make Safety a Priority

All Traverse models include Chevy Safety Assist. The Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, and Forward Collision Alert keep you from damage from unforeseen obstacles. Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning and Following Distance Indicator keep you moving in a safe position on the road.

IntelliBeam automatic headlights keep your path illuminated so you don’t lose your way.

Performance and Efficiency

The 3.6L DOHC V6 engine gives you 310 horsepower at 6800 rpm and 266 lb-ft of torque at 2800 rpm. The 9-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly and responsively. And the automatic start/stop turns off your engine when you’re stopped under certain circumstances, and starts it back up again automatically to extend fuel efficiency, leading to an excellent 18 miles per gallon in the city and 27 miles per gallon on the highway.

Drive Mode lets you select automatic settings for a variety of situations (options differ between models). From Sport, with more responsive steering and suspension, to Snow/Ice, with slower acceleration and torque response to wheels slipping, you can adjust on the move to any road conditions. You can even set a custom mode, programmed exactly how you like it.

Pull Your Trailer

When equipped with a tow package, the Traverse has a rating of up to 5,000 pounds. Over long hauls, the heavy-duty cooling system keeps your engine in good working order. The Hitch Guidance system with Hitch View makes it a simple process to hook up your trailer with the Rear-Vision Camera.

The Traverse is an extraordinarily adaptable mid-size SUV, making the options for what you can do with it virtually endless. Visit Mike Molstead Motors today in Charles City, IA to take a look at our inventory!
