Are you on the lookout for a new midsize SUV with three rows of roomy seats? Put the Chevy Traverse on your shortlist of must test-drives. With abundant cargo space and an intuitive infotainment system, this automaker designed it to move you. Which 2020 Chevy Traverse trim fits your lifestyle? Let’s find out.
Lineup Overview
Before you drive the 2020 Chevy Traverse off the lot, prepare to narrow down your pick from a choice of seven trims. When it comes to space, each option offers roomy seating for eight passengers and a whopping 98.2 cubic feet of cargo room. The Traverse is tough to beat thanks to a combination of fuel economy and easy-to-use features.
Traverse L
Buyers who don’t want to break the bank will appreciate the Traverse’s base, front-wheel-drive L trim. It features a 310-horsepower V-6 engine under the hood, which pairs well with a nine-speed automatic transmission. You’ll get plenty of standard high-tech features right from the get-go, including Chevy’s Infotainment 3 system with a 7-inch touch screen, a Wi-Fi hot spot, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, and six USB ports. There’s also a rearview camera and tri-zone automatic climate control.
Traverse LS
The next-level Traverse LS offers all the same features as the introductory trim, and a few more. Add a rear-seat entertainment or one of Chevy’s available styling packages. If you live in a climate with severe winters, this is the first trim level to offer drivers the benefits of all-wheel drive.
Traverse LT
The two 2020 LT models, Cloth and Leather, are excellent choices for most buyers. Both tout a reasonable price tag and come with appealing features you won’t find in the lower trims, such as plenty of driver assistance features. The LT cloth variant offers the comfort of a power-adjustable driver’s seat, second-row captain’s chairs, and a power liftgate, plus loads of innovations including an 8-inch touch screen, and satellite radio.
The LT Leather model comes standard with leather upholstery and a power-adjustable passenger seat. The LT Premium package includes a 10-speaker Bose audio system. Why not add the driver confidence II package and get the benefits of lane departure warning, front pedestrian braking, forward collision warning, lane keep assist, and a heated steering wheel?
Traverse RS, Premier and High Country
The Traverse RS adds navigation, a 10-speaker Bose audio system, plus a rear camera mirror, and a surround-view parking camera system to the overall package. The Premier edition touts leather upholstery, a heated steering wheel, a hands-free power liftgate, ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, and wireless device charging.
The range-topping 2020 High Country comes with just about every tech feature you can get in a Traverse SUV, plus the added confidence of adaptive cruise control, power-folding third-row seats, and additional towing equipment.
The 2020 Traverse is a terrific choice for your everyday vehicle, particularly for large families. Head to your local showroom for a test drive of your favorite trims today. Because no matter where you’re going, it’s how you get there that makes all the difference.
