2027 Chevrolet Traverse: Trims, Pricing and Family Capability

The LT is the most accessible entry point. It is also the only trim that offers an eight-passenger second-row bench in place of the standard captain’s chairs. The Z71 is the outdoor-oriented build. The RS takes a blacked-out, sport-styled direction. The High Country tops the lineup with a more refined cabin. Both carry Bose premium audio and Super Cruise as standard equipment.
Our 2026 Traverse trims and pricing guide covers the outgoing lineup.
Exterior Design and Dimensions
The 2027 Traverse carries a confident, upright SUV silhouette on a 121-inch wheelbase. The Z71 rides on an off-road suspension that raises its height and ground clearance.
| Measurement | LT, RS and High Country | Z71 |
|---|---|---|
| Wheelbase | 121 in | 121 in |
| Width with mirrors | 87.9 in | 87.9 in |
| Height | 69.6 in | 70.7 in |
| Ground clearance | 6.8 in | 7.8 in |
| Turning diameter | 39.0 ft (LT); 40.7 ft (RS, High Country) | 39.0 ft |
The LT, RS and High Country measure 204.5 inches long. LED headlamps with automatic on/off are standard across the lineup, so every trim arrives with a modern, well-lit presence at night. Roof rails are standard on all four trims, and the RS carries its blackout treatment across the grille, roof rails and badging.
Color choices include metallic finishes as standard, with options such as Polar White Tricoat, Radiant Red Tintcoat and Trillium Green Metallic available across the lineup.
Power, Towing and All-Wheel Drive
Engine and Transmission
Every 2027 Traverse uses the same turbocharged 2.5L four-cylinder engine. It makes 328 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 326 lb-ft of torque at 3,500 rpm. An eight-speed automatic handles the shifting. The difference between trims is not engine output. It is drivetrain and equipment.
Towing Capacity
Towing capacity is 5,000 pounds on every configuration, front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive alike. For 2027, the trailering package is standard across the lineup. That means every Traverse leaves the factory able to use its full rating. The package includes the hitch, an upgraded engine cooling system and touchscreen-based hitch guidance. Five thousand pounds comfortably handles a small fishing boat, a loaded utility trailer, or a set of kayaks on a weekend run.
Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner’s manual and the vehicle’s door-jamb label for specific capacities.
Z71 Off-Road Hardware
The Z71 goes further. It adds a twin-clutch all-wheel-drive system, red tow hooks, a skid plate, Terrain Mode and Hill Descent Control. Ground clearance rises to 7.8 inches. The lifted suspension also improves approach and departure angles. That equipment is aimed at families who venture onto unpaved park roads or gravel trails.
Fuel Economy by Drivetrain
Fuel economy depends on drivetrain rather than trim. Because the Z71 is offered only with all-wheel drive, it carries the all-wheel-drive figures regardless of how it is configured. Our Traverse MPG guide breaks the numbers down further.
Front-Wheel Drive
EPA-Estimated 20 mpg city, 26 mpg highway and 22 mpg combined, drawing from a 19.4-gallon fuel tank. Standard on the LT, RS and High Country.
All-Wheel Drive
EPA-Estimated 20 mpg city, 24 mpg highway and 21 mpg combined, drawing from a 21.7-gallon fuel tank. A $2,000 option on the LT, RS and High Country, and standard on the Z71.
EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.
Interior Space and Seating for Seven or Eight
Seating Configurations
The 2027 Traverse seats seven in a two-plus-two-plus-three configuration, with two front buckets, two second-row captain’s chairs and a split-bench third row. The LT can be ordered with a second-row bench seat instead, raising capacity to eight. The Z71, RS and High Country are seven-passenger only.
Cabin Dimensions
The cabin dimensions are genuine family-SUV numbers rather than token third-row space. They work well for adults in the first two rows and for school-age children on longer drives to Cedar Hill State Park.
| Seating Row | Headroom | Legroom | Shoulder Room |
|---|---|---|---|
| First row | 42.6 in | 44.3 in | 62.3 in |
| Second row | 40.0 in | 41.5 in | 62.2 in |
| Third row | 38.3 in | 32.1 in | 57.7 in |
Cargo Space
Behind the third row, 22.9 cubic feet of cargo space handles a week of groceries or a load of soccer gear with all seats occupied. Fold the third row and that grows to 56.6 cubic feet. Fold both rear rows and the Traverse opens up to 97.6 cubic feet, enough for a full camping load or a warehouse-store run.
Three-zone automatic climate control is standard, so front occupants and rear passengers can each set their own temperature. For a closer look at cabin materials and trim-level appointments, see our Traverse interior, tech and trims guide.
Technology That Keeps Families Connected
Displays and Smartphone Integration
The 2027 Traverse pairs a 17.7-inch center touchscreen with an 11-inch reconfigurable driver display, and both are standard on every trim. The system runs Google Built-In. Google Maps and the Google Play store work natively, with no phone connected. Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are standard as well, so phone mirroring requires no cable.
Charging, Power and Audio
Wireless phone charging is standard across the lineup, and six USB ports are distributed across the three rows. Wi-Fi hotspot capability is standard. A six-speaker audio system is standard on the LT and Z71, and the Bose 12-speaker system with subwoofer is standard on the RS and High Country.
Super Cruise Hands-Free Driving
Super Cruise, Chevrolet’s hands-free driver assistance technology for compatible mapped highways, is standard on the RS and High Country. On the LT and Z71 it is available through the Enhanced Driving Package. That package also adds the Bose audio system, an automated parking system and driver attention warning.
Features by Trim
| Feature | LT | Z71 | RS | High Country |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Safety and Driver Assistance
Standard Chevy Safety Assist
Every 2027 Traverse comes with Chevy Safety Assist as standard equipment, so no trim is left without meaningful driver assistance. Automatic Emergency Braking is standard. So is rear automatic braking, which brakes for you to help avoid an object behind the vehicle while reversing. Forward Collision Alert is standard on every trim.
Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning is standard across the lineup, providing steering correction when the vehicle drifts from its lane. Blind Zone Steering Assist monitors the rear flanks and alerts the driver during a lane change. Rear Cross Traffic Braking detects vehicles approaching from the side when reversing and can intervene. Rear Park Assist is standard on all trims.
Camera Systems
HD Surround Vision, the 360-degree camera system, is standard on the RS and High Country. On the LT and Z71, the Driver Confidence Package adds that 360-degree view along with a camera-based digital rearview mirror, a key card and rear pedestrian alert.
Driver-assistance and advanced safety systems are supplemental aids and are not substitutes for safe and attentive driving. Availability, operation, and effectiveness vary by trim and equipment and depend on factors including road, weather, traffic, and vehicle condition. Always keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. See your owner’s manual for system limitations and details.
Warranty and Coverage for 2027 Traverse Owners
The 2027 Traverse is backed by Chevrolet’s factory warranty structure, which gives families in Waxahachie and Midlothian long-term peace of mind.
| Coverage Type | Duration | Distance |
|---|---|---|
| Bumper-to-Bumper (Basic) | 3 years | 36,000 miles |
| Powertrain | 5 years | 60,000 miles |
| Rust-Through | 6 years | 100,000 miles |
| Corrosion | 3 years | 36,000 miles |
| Roadside Assistance and Courtesy Transportation | 5 years | 60,000 miles |
| Covered Maintenance | One visit, within the first 12 months | Per the vehicle’s maintenance schedule |
The five-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty covers the engine, the transmission and drivetrain components. Those are the most expensive items to repair. Rust-through protection covers corrosion that creates an actual hole in a body panel. The one covered maintenance visit includes an oil and filter change, a multi-point inspection and a four-tire rotation, per Chevrolet’s covered maintenance program.

The Traverse is assembled at General Motors’ Lansing Delta Township Assembly plant in Lansing, Michigan.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the towing capacity of the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse, and can it pull a boat to Joe Pool Lake?
Every 2027 Traverse configuration, front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive alike, is rated to tow 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. A standard fishing boat or pontoon in the 3,500 to 4,500 pound range fits comfortably within that limit. For 2027, the trailering package is standard on every trim, and it includes touchscreen-based hitch guidance that uses the rear camera to help line the hitch up with the trailer tongue. The Z71 adds red tow hooks and improved approach and departure angles for pulling a loaded trailer on uneven ground near park boat ramps.
Does the 2027 Traverse get good fuel economy for a daily commute between Waxahachie and Dallas?
Fuel economy depends on drivetrain. Front-wheel-drive models are EPA-Estimated at 20 mpg city, 26 mpg highway and 22 mpg combined. All-wheel-drive models are EPA-Estimated at 20 mpg city, 24 mpg highway and 21 mpg combined. Those figures apply to a family making daily round trips on US-287 and I-35.
Is the third row usable for adults, or just for children?
Third-row headroom is 38.3 inches, legroom is 32.1 inches and shoulder room is 57.7 inches. Those dimensions are tight for tall adults on long trips but practical for adults on shorter drives and comfortable for school-age children. The third row folds flat to expand cargo space from 22.9 cubic feet to 56.6 cubic feet, and folding the second row as well opens up 97.6 cubic feet.
