With three rows of seats and flexible storage solutions, the 2021 Chevrolet Traverse is a great SUV to take the family on road trips or weekend adventures. Let’s take a look at the key features that make the 2021 Chevy Traverse a perfect family-friendly SUV.
Modern Styling
It’s easy to find the perfect Traverse to fit your budget and lifestyle from the seven trims, the L, LS, LT Cloth, LT Leather, RS, Premier, and the luxurious High Country. The long wheelbase of this midsize SUV allows for more passenger room and cargo space. The 2021 Traverse has handsome, sleek lines that everyone in the family can appreciate. Add the available roof rails to carry extra cargo and help add a sporty look to the SUV.
Powerful Performance
You’ll get all the power you need from the 2021 Traverse with its 3.6-liter V-6 engine that produces 310 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque. A nine-speed automatic transmission pairs with the engine. Across the Traverse lineup, rear-wheel drive comes standard with the option to upgrade to traction-grabbing all-wheel drive. You’ll notice how well the Traverse rides and handles with its four-wheel independent suspension system and front and rear stabilizer bars. You can even tow a small boat or trailer with the Traverse. When properly equipped, this SUV can tow up to 5,000 pounds.
Roomy and Comfortable Interior
When you have the two back rows of seats configured as bench seats, the Traverse has seating for up to eight people. Swap out the second-row bench seats for captain’s chairs, and there’s seating for up to seven people.
Accessing the rear seats of the SUV is a breeze with Chevrolet’s Smart Slide Seating System, and on the higher trims, power-folding third-row seats. Add the available hands-free power liftgate to any Traverse trim to easily load groceries and supplies in the back of the SUV. Depending on the seating configurations, you can get up to 98.2 cubic feet of cargo space.
Technology for the Whole Family
All of the Traverse trims come with Chevrolet’s Infotainment 3 system featuring a 7-inch or 8-inch touch screen. Navigation, Sirius XM satellite radio, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa integration can help the family get to where they’re going while staying entertained. Add the optional rear-seat entertainment system to keep the passengers in the back busy. There are plenty of USB ports located throughout the cabin to keep everyone’s mobile devices charged, and with the standard available Wi-Fi hot spot, the family can stay connected.
Lots of Safety Features
You’ll have peace of mind that the 2021 Chevy Traverse comes with a host of driver-assist features, especially when you add the optional Chevy Safety Assist. Standard safety features include Teen Driver and Buckle to Drive technology, a rear-seat reminder, and rear park assist. Available features include a forward-collision warning with automatic emergency front pedestrian braking and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.
