2019 Chevrolet Traverse LS

The 2019 Traverse is Chevrolet's largest SUV, slotting above the Equinox and offering three rows of seating for up to eight. It competes with the Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, and Ford Explorer in the family-hauler segment. The V6 gives the Traverse confident acceleration, and the ride stays composed on highways, though the steering feels a bit light. The cabin is genuinely roomy, with a third row that fits adults and generous cargo space behind it when folded. Tech highlights include an available Wi-Fi hotspot, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a suite of driver aids like forward collision alert. All-wheel drive and a few extra convenience features set the LS apart from the base L, while skipping the leather and larger wheels of the LT. The 3.6L V6 makes 305 horsepower and pairs with a nine-speed automatic, giving the Traverse confident highway passing power even with a full load. With all-wheel drive, the LS handles snow and gravel better than front-drive rivals, and the third row still fits adults for the whole trip.
