Miles Overview
The Traverse is Chevrolet's three-row family SUV, the one you cross-shop with the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander. It drives more like a car than a big SUV, with a smooth ride and steering that feels light and easy around town. The cabin is genuinely roomy, with three rows that fold flat for cargo and a middle row that fits three kids comfortably. Some owners mention the alternator failing more than once, so it's worth checking the charging system on a used example. The LS is the entry point of the Traverse line: you give up some interior trim and the higher-output engine of the LTZ, but you still get the same three-row space and standard six-speed automatic. This LS pairs a 3.6L V6 with 281 horsepower and front-wheel drive, and the six-speed automatic shifts smoothly enough that you barely notice it on the highway. The front-drive LS also does 19 mpg combined, making it the most fuel-efficient way to get that fold-flat rear cargo area with 116.4 cubic feet of cargo space.
