Traverse-FeaturesWhen rating an SUV, two of the most prominent features most people look at are cargo room and the size of the car. In this regard, the new 2018 Traverse doesn’t disappoint. Apart from the size and interior space, the 2018 Chevy Traverse is ready to impress with its tremendous upgrades including a refined cabin, more third-row legroom, upgraded infotainment, and a far better exterior design than its predecessors. Here are just some of the 2018 Traverse’s best features:

Engine and Performance

The 2018 Traverse carries GMC V-6 with 9-speed auto-transmission. The new turbocharge 2L engine for the automatic stop/start feature helps fuel efficiency (front-wheel-drive drive only). The positioning of the engine is perfect as it is far from the cabin and you don’t even feel it running. The engine generates up to 310 horsepower capable of hitting 0-60 mph in 6.3 seconds. The 2018 Chevrolet Traverse travels 18 MPG in the city and 21 MPG on the highway.

The 2018 Traverse features better suspension, easier handling, more control, and balance. Even bumps on the road don’t rattle the car much. Braking peddles feature ideal firmness to ensure a smooth ride in stop-and-go traffic.

Notable Upgrades in the 2018 Traverse

1.     Third-Row Legroom

Third-row seating has become a common SUV feature but passengers don’t often like sitting in the third-row because of the cramped space. Chevrolet’s 2018 Traverse offers quite a substantial amount of legroom (33.7-inches to be precise).

Apart from the third-row, the cargo room is also exceptional. With all seats in place, the 2018 Traverse offers 23 cubic-feet of cargo space and when you fold the third-row, cargo accommodation becomes a spacious 58.1 cubic-feet. Not impressed yet? Fold the second row and have an unbelievable 98.5 cubic-feet worth of cargo space!

2.     Upgraded Driver-Assist

Blindspot-assist, auto-brake system, lane assist, cross-traffic alert, and lane departure are just some of the standard driver-assist technologies found in the car. The 2018 Traverse additionally features park-assist, rear parking sensors, and a rear camera mirror. The rear camera mirror brings better perspective than an ordinary mirror reflection.

3.     Teen Drive

Teen Drive ensures that the drivers follow the proper driving rules and for this purpose, it has the power to enforce guidelines. It helps new drivers in making the best possible choices. This technology also generates a report card which reflects the driver’s driving pattern and behavior.

4.   Infotainment

The 2018 Traverse is equipped with a contemporary infotainment system which includes Apple CarPlay, Wi-Fi hotspot, Android Auto, 4G LTE, and smartphone screen-mirroring.

5.     Outlook

The design of the new Traverse is bulkier than of its predecessors. If you have a look at the 2018 Traverse from a distance, you may take it for Tahoe. The front is square-jawed. The premium trim offers the magnificent Red details and black wheels.

The 2018 Traverse is worth considering for those looking for a family crossover with plenty of interior room and cargo space, flawless safety features, and a modern SUV exterior.
