The 2027 Chevrolet Traverse produces 328 hp and 326 lb-ft of torque from a 2.5L turbocharged inline-4 engine. That output is paired with a 17.7-inch touchscreen, Google Built-In, and available Super Cruise across four trim lines. This page covers every trim, spec, and feature update, with current inventory available at ASA Auto Plaza.
The 2027 Traverse maintains the muscular 328-hp turbocharged powertrain introduced with the previous generation's redesign, and Chevrolet has focused this model year on refining the tech stack and expanding standard content across the lineup.
Key updates and confirmed 2027 content:
The 2027 Traverse is offered in four trims: LT, Z71, RS, and High Country. LT and RS are available in both FWD and AWD configurations. Z71 is AWD-only. High Country is available in FWD and AWD.
The entry point into the Traverse lineup. LT comes standard with the 17.7-inch touchscreen, wireless phone charging, heated front seats, heated steering wheel, tri-zone automatic climate control, Remote Start, and Keyless Open and Start. AWD is optional. The optional Driver Confidence Package and Panoramic Power Sunroof give LT buyers a path to more content without stepping up to a higher trim.
AWD is standard on the Z71, and it is the only Traverse trim with Hill Descent Control and the Advanced Twin-Clutch AWD system. The Z71 also adds Gloss Black roof-mounted side rails, standard 18-inch all-terrain tires, Red tow hooks, a raised ground clearance of 7.76 inches (versus 6.77 inches on LT and RS), and Black door sill plates. It is built for buyers who want genuine capability on unpaved roads without moving into a full-size SUV.
The RS takes a sport-appearance approach with a High Gloss Black sporty grille, 22-inch High Gloss Black painted aluminum wheels, LED tail lamps, Rainsense automatic wipers, Black rocker moldings, and heated power-folding outside mirrors as standard. Inside, the RS is the most feature-rich standard-content trim below High Country: ventilated front and heated rear outboard seats, Evotex Ultra seat trim, a Bose premium audio system, Active Noise Cancellation, a power tilt and telescoping steering column, memory settings, a 120-volt power outlet, HD Surround Vision, Rear Camera Mirror, Interior Camera, and Super Cruise are all standard. The RS is available in FWD or AWD.
The High Country is the top trim, starting at $58,095 FWD. It builds on RS content with several additions as standard equipment. The Bose premium 12-speaker audio system, second-row bucket seats with heated rear outboard seating, and Evotex Ultra seat trim are standard. Ventilated front seats and a power 60/40 split-folding third-row bench are included. The Enhanced Driving Package is standard, delivering Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance, Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist, and Driver Attention Assist. The Driver Confidence Package adds Rear Camera Mirror, Key Card, HD Surround Vision, a 120-volt power outlet, Rear Pedestrian Alert, and Traffic Sign Recognition. The Convenience Package provides heated front seats, a heated wrapped steering wheel, and Remote Start. Additional standard content includes 22-inch High Gloss Black painted aluminum wheels, memory settings for the driver seat and outside mirrors, Safety Alert Seat, AutoSense power liftgate, tri-zone automatic climate control, and High Country-specific door sill plates. The 5,000-lb Trailering Package with Hitch Guidance and Hitch View is also standard.
Every 2027 Traverse is powered by a single engine: the 2.5L turbocharged inline-4 producing 328 hp and 326 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. There are no alternative engine choices.
FWD models (LT, RS, High Country) are rated at 20 city / 26 highway / 22 combined MPG. AWD models (LT AWD, Z71, RS AWD, High Country AWD) return 20 city / 24 highway / 21 combined MPG. Fuel tank capacity is 19.4 gallons on FWD trims and 21.7 gallons on AWD trims. The engine runs on regular 87-octane gasoline.
Towing capacity across all trims reaches 5,000 lbs with the standard Trailering Package, which is included on every trim. For families in Jackson and surrounding areas who pull a boat trailer or a small camper, that rating covers a wide range of recreational towing needs.
The Z71 exclusively gets Hill Descent Control and the Advanced Twin-Clutch AWD system, giving it a measurably different capability profile than the standard AWD found on LT, RS, and High Country.
The Traverse seats seven passengers across three rows as standard. An optional 8-passenger seating configuration is available on LT trims by replacing the second-row captain's chairs with a bench.
Passenger space across all rows:
Cargo flexibility is a clear strength. Behind the third row, the Traverse holds 22.9 cu ft. Fold that row and capacity jumps to 56.6 cu ft. With all rear seats folded, maximum cargo volume reaches 98 cu ft, which is competitive for a three-row SUV in this segment.
All trims come standard with tri-zone automatic climate control, rear air conditioning, heated front seats, carpeted front and rear floor mats, and an AutoSense Power Liftgate. The RS and High Country add heated rear outboard seats, a power 60/40 split-folding third-row bench, and Evotex Ultra seat trim as standard content. The LT comes with premium cloth seating, with Evotex upgrades available through packages.
Additional available tech features include:
The 17.7-inch diagonal touchscreen is one of the largest displays in the three-row SUV class, and it is standard on every single 2027 Traverse trim. It runs Google Built-In natively, meaning Google Maps, Google Play, and Google Gemini are integrated directly without requiring a phone connection. Wireless smartphone connectivity and Bluetooth are also standard.
The 11-inch Driver Information Center sits directly in the driver's sightline and displays navigation, media, and vehicle status information. SiriusXM with 360L is standard across the lineup.
Super Cruise, Chevrolet's hands-free driver assistance system, is standard on the RS and High Country and available on LT and Z71 via the Enhanced Driving Package. It operates on a growing network of pre-mapped highways.
Additional standard safety features on all trims include:
Every 2027 Traverse comes equipped with Chevy Safety Assist as a standard package. That package includes Forward Collision Alert, Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning (LT and Z71), Blind Zone Steering Assist, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam automatic high beams.
Rear Pedestrian Alert is standard on RS and High Country and available on LT and Z71. The total standard safety and driver assistance feature count exceeds 20 items across all trims.
The 2027 Traverse carries a 3-year / 36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, a 5-year / 60,000-mile powertrain warranty, and 5-year / 60,000-mile roadside assistance. Rust-through corrosion coverage extends to 6 years / 100,000 miles.
2027 Traverse safety ratings and driver assistance details
The 2027 Traverse is the right three-row SUV for buyers who want a genuine 328-hp turbocharged engine, a class-leading 17.7-inch touchscreen, and up to 98 cu ft of cargo room without stepping into a truck-based platform.
The Z71 stands out as the clearest upgrade over a standard AWD Traverse: the Advanced Twin-Clutch AWD system, 7.76 inches of ground clearance, Hill Descent Control, and standard all-terrain tires give it real off-road credibility.
The RS delivers the most complete standard-equipment list of any Traverse trim below High Country. Shoppers who want ventilated seats, Super Cruise, Bose audio, and HD Surround Vision without building a long options list will find the RS straightforward.
The High Country adds second-row bucket seats, Driver Attention Assist, Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist, and the Driver Confidence Package as standard content beyond the RS, making it the right choice for buyers who want the full suite of driver assistance and comfort features without selecting individual packages.
For families in Jackson, MN comparing the 2027 Traverse to the 2026 model, the key improvements are concentrated in standard tech content: the Google Built-In integration is more deeply embedded, Super Cruise availability has expanded, and the RS's standard content package is more generous than what the equivalent trim offered in the prior year.
