Silhouette of 2018 Chevy Traverse

 

Chevrolet debuted the new Chevrolet Traverse on January 9 at the 2017 North American International Auto Show. This new family SUV joins the Trax, Equinox, Tahoe, and Suburban in Chevy’s SUV and crossover lineup.

You’ll have to wait until Fall 2017 to get behind the wheel of the 2018 Traverse, but you can read more about it right here with Martin Chevrolet.

The Chevrolet Traverse is Back With Big Updates

The new 2018 Traverse is built for families. Its more truck-like design brings big power, capability and a lot more space for buyers who are looking to make sure everyone has plenty of room to stretch out.

The new design is a complete overhaul of the Traverse you’re used to — the first total redesign of the Traverse since its initial appearance in 2009. The new SUV has seating for up to eight passengers, offering the segment’s best third-row legroom and cargo space.

So far we’ve heard about two engine options — a 3.6-liter V6, or a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder. Both are accompanied by a 9-speed automatic transmission. The standard V6 is expected to give drivers a 10 percent improvement in fuel economy (meaning this SUV will get about 25 miles per gallon on the highway).

Since you’ll be loading the 2018 Traverse with your most precious cargo, Chevy didn’t cut any corners when it comes to safety systems. This SUV’s safety features include Surround Vision, lane-keeping assist, front pedestrian braking, forward collision alert, forward automatic braking, and available LED headlights.
