2025 Chevrolet Traverse Z71

The 2025 Traverse is Chevrolet's three-row family SUV, slotting above the Equinox and competing with the Honda Pilot and Toyota Grand Highlander. The Traverse feels more car-like than its size suggests, with responsive steering and a composed ride that suits long trips. The cabin is roomy across all three rows, and the available second-row captain's chairs make getting to the back easy. A large touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto comes standard, along with a full suite of driver assists. Off-road hardware and a tougher look set the Z71 apart from the LT, while the High Country and RS lean more toward luxury and sport. The 2.5L I4 makes 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque, routed through an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive that gets 21 mpg combined. The Z71 comes with an off-road-tuned suspension, underbody skid plates, and Hill Descent Control, so it handles dirt and gravel better than any other Traverse.
