The 2017 Chevrolet Traverse is part of the crossover's first generation and stands as a competent family SUV with three-row seating. The vehicle comes standard with a 3.6-liter V6 engine that powers out 281 horsepower, though an optional dual-exhaust setup increases that figure to 288 horsepower. Paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, power is delivered to the front wheels, with an optional all-wheel-drive system available. The Traverse is offered in LS, LT (with two sub-trims - 1LT and 2LT) and Premier trims, each with an increased level of standard features and amenities. Highlighted safety features of the model-year include a standard rearview camera, available side blind-spot alert and rear cross-traffic alert. The 2017 model sees no major changes from the previous year. The infotainment system offers a 6.5" touchscreen, Bluetooth, available Chevrolet MyLink, satellite radio, and optional navigation.
