The 2025 Chevrolet Traverse is powered by a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine across all trims, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. This setup delivers adequate performance for daily driving, with power sent to the front wheels as standard. For those who need enhanced traction, all-wheel drive (AWD) is available, making the Traverse more versatile in various weather and road conditions.

The Z71 trim brings off-road capability to the lineup, offering a range of features designed for adventurous drivers. It comes standard with a twin-clutch AWD system, which improves handling and stability on challenging terrains. Other enhancements include revised suspension damping, all-terrain tires, and terrain-specific driving modes, making the Z71 more suitable for unpaved trails and rugged paths.

During test drives, the Traverse's steering feel was noted as slow and truck-like, which may not appeal to those seeking a more dynamic driving experience. However, where the Traverse shines is in its comfortable and family-friendly ride quality. The suspension effectively minimizes body roll, creating a stable driving experience, while the firm brake pedal provides confidence and control during stops.

Whether tackling everyday commutes or venturing off-road, the 2025 Traverse balances practicality and comfort, making it a dependable choice for families.

Towing Capacity

The 2025 Chevrolet Traverse is equipped to handle towing duties with ease, boasting a maximum towing capacity of 5000 pounds when equipped with its standard Trailering package. This package enhances the Traverse’s capability and convenience by including essential towing features such as:

•     A heavy-duty cooling system to ensure the engine remains at optimal temperature during demanding towing tasks.
•     A 220-amp alternator, providing the electrical power necessary to support both the vehicle and any trailer-related equipment.
•     The innovative "Hitch View" camera system, which integrates with the Traverse's exterior cameras to offer a clear view of the hitch area, simplifying the process of aligning and connecting a trailer.

These features make the 2025 Traverse a practical choice for families who need to tow boats, campers, or other gear for weekend adventures or long road trips.


Fuel Efficiency

The 2025 Chevrolet Traverse delivers respectable fuel efficiency for a three-row SUV, according to EPA estimates. The front-wheel-drive (FWD) trims are rated at 20 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway, making the new turbocharged four-cylinder engine more efficient in urban settings than the previous V-6 model, though highway efficiency remains unchanged.

Opting for all-wheel drive (AWD) reduces these figures slightly, with estimates of 19 mpg city and 24 mpg highway, a small trade-off for the added confidence and traction AWD provides in challenging conditions.

The 2025 Chevrolet Traverse is designed with families in mind, offering a spacious and practical interior that's perfect for larger groups. All trims come standard with seating for seven passengers, thanks to second-row captain's chairs that provide comfort and easy access to the third row. For those who need even more seating, the LT trim offers an optional second-row bench seat, increasing capacity to eight passengers.

Unlike many SUVs in its class, the Traverse's third-row seating is truly usable, even for adults. The seat design ensures that passengers aren't forced into an awkward squatting position, with ample legroom and a high-enough seat bottom for added comfort.

Storage is another area where the Traverse shines. There are large storage bins strategically placed throughout the cabin, including one on the center console ahead of the dual cupholders and another below the console, accessible from both the driver and passenger sides. These spaces are perfect for keeping small items like phones, wallets, or snacks organized during trips.

When it comes to cargo space, the Traverse ranks among the best in its class. With all seats folded flat, it boasts over 97 cubic feet of cargo room, offering plenty of space for everything from luggage to outdoor gear. Its thoughtful layout makes it an ideal choice for families with active lifestyles.

The 2025 Traverse combines comfort, utility, and practicality, making it an excellent choice for families on the go.

A massive 17.7-inch infotainment touchscreen is standard across all 2025 Chevrolet Traverse models, providing a cutting-edge focal point for the cabin. This impressive display runs on Chevrolet’s latest Google-based software interface, offering seamless access to apps, navigation, and connectivity features. Its size and sharp resolution make it one of the standout tech features in the Traverse lineup.

Also standard is an 11.0-inch digital gauge display, which enhances the driver experience by allowing customizable configurations to display vital information such as speed, fuel economy, and navigation directions.

Convenience is further elevated with a wireless smartphone charging pad, ensuring your devices stay powered without messy cables. Additionally, an onboard Wi-Fi connection is available, keeping passengers connected to the internet during long trips or daily commutes.

With its blend of modern technology and family-friendly practicality, the Traverse’s tech offerings enhance every drive.

Chevrolet equips the 2025 Traverse with a robust suite of standard driver-assistance features, ensuring peace of mind for drivers and passengers alike. Key features include systems designed to detect pedestrians and bicyclists and automatic high-beam headlamps that enhance visibility during nighttime driving.

For those seeking advanced automation, the Traverse can be outfitted with GM's Super Cruise hands-free driving mode. This cutting-edge technology is available as an option on LT and Z71 trims and comes standard on RS and High Country models, offering a stress-free driving experience on compatible highways.

Key safety features include:

• Standard automated emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, helping avoid or mitigate collisions in urban and residential areas.
• Available lane-keeping assist and adaptive cruise control, which provide added support during highway driving by maintaining proper lane alignment and safe following distances.
• Available hands-free driving mode, allowing for more relaxed commutes on pre-mapped routes.
