2016 Chevrolet Traverse LS

The Traverse is Chevrolet's three-row family SUV, the one you cross-shop with the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander when you need room for eight. It drives more like a car than a big SUV, with a smooth ride and steering that's easy to manage around town. The cabin is genuinely roomy, with a third row that folds flat for cargo and middle-row captain's chairs on many trims. Tech highlights include an available rear-seat entertainment system, Wi-Fi hotspot, and smartphone integration via Chevrolet MyLink. The LS is the value pick of the Traverse range, skipping the 1LT's extras to keep the price down while still giving you the same roomy cabin. This LS comes with eight seats as standard, so you get a bench second row instead of the captain's chairs you'd find on higher trims.
