2017 Chevrolet Traverse 1LT

The 2017 Traverse is a three-row crossover that slots between the Equinox and the Tahoe, offering family-sized space without full-size bulk. It competes with the Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, and Ford Explorer, but the Traverse is roomier inside than most of them. The V6 gives the Traverse confident acceleration for merging and passing, and the ride stays composed on the highway. Inside, the Traverse seats up to eight, and the second and third rows fold flat to open up generous cargo space. Available features include a rearview camera, Bluetooth, and an intuitive touchscreen infotainment system across trims. The 1LT is the entry-level Traverse with all-wheel drive, so you skip leather and dual-zone climate but keep the V6 and the same generous eight-passenger seating. The 1LT adds fog lamps and a leather-wrapped steering wheel over the base LS, while the cloth seats and manual rear climate control keep the price in check.
