2021 Chevrolet Traverse LS

The 2021 Traverse is Chevrolet's largest SUV, a three-row family hauler that slots above the Equinox and below the Tahoe. It competes with the Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, and Ford Explorer, offering more passenger space than most. The V6 gives the Traverse confident acceleration for a vehicle its size, and the ride stays composed on the highway. With seating for up to eight and a cavernous cargo area behind the third row, this SUV swallows family gear with ease. Owners highlight the 360-degree camera and generous interior space, though some wish for adaptive cruise control on lower trims. The LS is the one to pick if you want three-row seating for eight without the extras; stepping up to the LT Leather adds leather seats and a power liftgate. Its 3.6L V6 makes 310 horsepower and pairs with a nine-speed automatic, giving the Traverse enough punch for merging and passing; expect 21 mpg combined with front-wheel drive.
