2016 Chevrolet Traverse 2LT

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 2LT is the middle step in the Traverse range, so you get most of the 1LT's comforts plus a few extras, while skipping some of the LTZ's luxuries. Under the hood is a 3.6L V6 with an automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, which gives you confident traction in rain or snow without feeling sluggish. This trim's all-wheel drive is the reason to pick it over a front-drive Traverse, and it pairs with a smooth ride that stays composed on the highway.
