The new Traverse has a smoothly styled exterior, with styling details--including the front grille--borrowed from recent Chevrolet cars such as the Malibu. Inside, it also offers an experience that's more car-like.That observation rings true in the way the Traverse drives as well. A new 3.6-liter overhead-cam V-6 engine powers the Traverse responsively, making an impressive 288 horsepower. The power is brought to the pavement via a smooth-shifting six-speed automatic transmission and a front-wheel drive system that really hugs the road. The Traverse promises to be significantly more economical to run compared to large truck-like SUVs, thanks to an aerodynamic design, fuel-saving direct-injection technology, and a 'tall' overdrive sixth gear for relaxed highway cruising. EPA fuel economy ratings range up to 24 mpg on the highway for this front-wheel-drive model. The Traverse shows more of its car underpinnings underneath, with variable-effort rack-and-pinion steering and a low center of mass for stable cornering. The four-wheel independent suspension allows a compliant ride yet a towing capacity of up to 5,200 pounds--comparable to some truck-based mid-size SUVs. Safety was given priority in the Traverse's engineering and feature list. Stabilitrak electronic stability control, with rollover mitigation technology, is standard, along with anti-lock brakes, Panic Brake Assist, and six airbags, including head-curtain side bags that cover all three rows of seating. . An extremely roomy interior is one of the Traverse's strengths. The three rows provide seating for up to seven or eight. The bench slides fore and aft for easier access to the third row or added seating space. There are plenty of bins and cubbies all around as well as ten cup holders. The LT package adds a power driver's seat, heated mirrors, automatic climate control, a trip computer and a parking-assist system, and 18 inch aluminum wheels. The gray cloth interior is super comfortable, and provides plenty of legroom for even the tallest adult. The dual air conditioning is super cold, and ready for those hot Texas summers. The silver exterior is free from any damage, and definitely shows to have been very well kept. The tires are loaded with tread, and ready for your next trip!
