2027 Chevrolet Traverse: All Trims, Specs, and Pricing

The 2027 Chevrolet Traverse is the right choice for families and outdoor enthusiasts who need a capable, tech-forward three-row SUV with genuine towing muscle. It delivers 328 hp and 326 lb-ft of torque from a turbocharged 2.5L four-cylinder, tows up to 5,000 lbs, and seats 7 passengers across a lineup that runs from the FWD LT at $40,800 MSRP to the AWD High Country at $58,100 MSRP. Every trim pairs a 17.7-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making the Traverse one of the most feature-complete three-row SUVs in its class.

How Much Does the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse Cost to Own?

The 2027 Chevrolet Traverse spans a $40,800 to $58,100 MSRP range before the $1,995 destination charge— a spread wide enough to serve buyers looking for everyday value and those wanting a fully loaded luxury-adjacent experience. The table below captures every covered trim’s base price exactly as Chevrolet has set it.
Feature AWD High Country AWD LT AWD RS AWD Z71 FWD High Country FWD LT FWD RS
Base MSRP $58,100 $42,800 $57,800 $49,100 $56,100 $40,800 $55,800
Destination Charge $1,995 $1,995 $1,995 $1,995 $1,995 $1,995 $1,995

What the Price Gap Actually Means

The most accessible entry point is the FWD LT at $40,800, which still includes the full 17.7-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration, a 6-speaker audio system, standard safety tech, and 7-passenger seating. For buyers who want all-wheel drive without climbing to the top of the range, the AWD LT at $42,800 adds just $2,000 to the FWD LT’s sticker — a reasonable premium given the traction benefits on the rolling hills and lakeside terrain around Guntersville.
The AWD Z71 at $49,100 represents a meaningful step up in off-road credibility, bringing all-terrain tires, front tow hooks, and additional ground clearance. Buyers drawn to the sport aesthetic will find the AWD RS at $57,800 and the FWD RS at $55,800 sit just below the flagship High Country trims in price while delivering blacked-out styling and a standard 12-speaker Bose audio system.
The AWD High Country at $58,100 and FWD High Country at $56,100 represent the pinnacle of the lineup, adding features like the HD Surround Vision camera system, Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance, ventilated front seats, and a garage door opener — equipment that genuinely changes the daily ownership experience.
When budgeting, factor in available factory packages. The Enhance Driving Package on the LT and Z71 adds Super Cruise, a 12-speaker Bose system, and full parking assist sensors. The Driver Confidence Package adds HD Surround Vision and a digital rearview mirror. These packages let buyers customize their Traverse without jumping an entire trim level.

Rugged Style That Matches Guntersville’s Lakeside Vibe in the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse

The 2027 Traverse wears a design that reads as purposeful rather than merely decorative — exactly right for a vehicle that may spend a Saturday towing a boat across the Guntersville Dam bridge and a Monday doing school drop-offs. The body measures 204.5 inches long, 79.6 inches wide, and 69.6 inches tall (or 70.7 inches on the AWD Z71, which sits slightly higher due to its lifted suspension), giving it a broad, planted stance that communicates capability without veering into truck territory.

Trim-Level Visual Differences

The AWD LT and FWD LT wear chrome window trim and body-color front bumpers with a black rear bumper, giving a clean, traditional look. Step to the AWD RS or FWD RS and the aesthetic shifts decisively: black trim replaces chrome around the side windows, the exterior takes on a darker, more aggressive character, and the standard 22-inch alloy wheels fill the arches with authority. The RS trims also include a roof spoiler, ambient interior lighting, and alloy-look door sill protectors — details that carry the sport theme from the outside in.
The AWD Z71 charts its own course with a rugged identity. It rides on 18-inch all-terrain tires, carries standard front tow and recovery hooks, and adds black trim around the side windows — signaling that this is the Traverse built for trails and gravel back roads rather than just looking the part. Ground clearance climbs to 7.8 inches on the Z71 versus 6.8 inches on the standard-height trims.
The High Country trims — both AWD and FWD — add chrome-silver roof rails, a roof spoiler, alloy door sill protectors, and standard 22-inch alloy wheels, presenting a more premium, polished face. Optional 22-inch bright aluminum or high gloss black aluminum wheels are available for buyers who want to personalize further.
All trims use full LED lighting front and rear, including projector-beam LED low and high beams, LED daytime running lights, LED side indicators, LED rear lights, and LED brake lights. Auto high-beam control and a dusk sensor for automatic headlight activation come standard, so late evening drives back from the lake or along forested roads are handled without a second thought.
For shoppers who want the Traverse’s style but prefer a pre-owned budget, Guntersville Chevrolet also maintains a selection of pre-owned SUVs worth exploring.

Power and Control for Rolling Hills and Lake Roads with the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse

Every single 2027 Traverse trim — from the entry-level FWD LT to the flagship AWD High Country— runs the same turbocharged 2.5L four-cylinder engine producing 328 hp and 326 lb-ft of torque, paired with an automatic 8-speed transmission. The powertrain is identical whether you’re choosing front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive; the distinction is entirely in how that power reaches the road.
Feature AWD High Country AWD LT AWD RS AWD Z71 FWD High Country FWD LT FWD RS
Engine 2.5L 2.5L 2.5L 2.5L 2.5L 2.5L 2.5L
Horsepower 328 hp 328 hp 328 hp 328 hp 328 hp 328 hp 328 hp

Drivetrain All-wheel drive All-wheel drive All-wheel drive All-wheel drive Front-wheel drive Front-wheel drive Front-wheel drive

Why 328 hp Matters for This Region

Peak power arrives at 5,500 rpm and maximum torque at 3,500 rpm— a spread that means strong, usable pull throughout everyday driving rather than a narrow power band that only opens up at highway speeds. The 8-speed automatic includes a manual shift mode for drivers who want more control on winding descents.
The suspension uses a front strut setup with coil springs and front and rear stabilizer bars, paired with a rear multi-link independent coil-spring arrangement. Both axles are fully independent, which means the Traverse handles the undulating terrain around Lake Guntersville and the gently rolling plateau roads near Albertville with genuine composure rather than the body-roll associated with older body-on-frame SUVs.
The AWD Z71 is the clear choice for buyers who regularly navigate unpaved boat ramps, gravel forest roads, or the occasional muddy trail. Its 7.8-inch ground clearance, standard all-terrain tires, front tow hooks, and descent control system form a genuine light off-road package. The approach angle on the Z71 measures 21 degrees and the departure angle 24 degrees— versus 15 degrees approach and 22 degrees departure on the standard-height trims — meaningful differences when pulling a boat trailer down a steep ramp.
Electronic stability control and traction control come standard across all trims, as do four-wheel ventilated disc brakes with ABS, brake assist, electronic parking brake with auto-hold, and hill-hold. The braking system is identical across every trim level.
If you’re weighing whether to trade in your current vehicle before stepping into a Traverse, you can quickly get an estimate on your trade-in to understand your total cost picture before visiting the showroom.

Spacious Seating for Family Days at the Park in the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse

Seven passengers fit across three rows in every 2027 Traverse trim, arranged in a 2+2+3 configuration. The numbers behind that seating layout are genuinely generous: 44.3 inches of front-row legroom, 41.5 inches in the second row, and 32.1 inches in the third row. Front headroom reaches 42.6 inches, the second row offers 40 inches, and the third row provides 38.3 inches— enough for adults to ride in the second row without complaint and for smaller passengers to sit comfortably in the third without feeling buried.

Seating Materials by Trim

The FWD LT and AWD LT start with upgraded cloth upholstery, available in Jet Black, Jet Black/Gideon, or Jet Black Evotex synthetic leather. The RS, Z71, High Country, and their FWD counterparts move to synthetic leather as standard, with the AWD High Country and FWD High Country offering the Jet Black with Natural Tan Accents Evotex Ultra combination that gives the cabin a distinctly premium feel.
Driver’s seat adjustability also climbs with the trim level. The LT provides a 4-way power driver’s seat, while the RS and High Country step up to a 6-way power driver’s seat with memory, 2-way power lumbar, and ventilated cushions. Heated front seats and heated second-row seats are standard on the RS and High Country trims. Three-zone automatic climate control is standard across all trims, with rear-seat controls and secondary ventilation vents for second and third-row passengers.
The cargo story is equally practical: about 23 cu ft behind the third row expands to about 98 cu ft with all rear seats folded flat. The loading floor sits at 30.7 inches— a comfortable lift height for fishing gear, camping equipment, or soccer bags. Cargo tie-down hooks are standard, and the optional Cargo Package adds a cargo net and flexible cargo area cover.

Smart Tech to Keep You Connected in the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse

Every 2027 Traverse trim ships with a 17.7-inch center touchscreen and an 11-inch digital instrument cluster as standard equipment — not as upgrades. The infotainment system supports wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto, both included for the life of ownership. Google built-in integration provides access to Google Maps, Google Assistant, and the Google Play store directly through the vehicle’s interface. A 3-month Wi-Fi hotspot trial via embedded SIM comes standard; the system supports up to 8 connected devices simultaneously.

Audio and Charging

The FWD LT and AWD LT include a 6-speaker audio system with AM/FM, satellite radio (3-month trial included), and internet radio. Stepping to the RS, Z71 with Enhance Driving Package, or either High Country trim brings a 12-speaker Bose surround-sound system with a subwoofer — a meaningful upgrade for anyone who spends time on longer drives. The RS and High Country trims include this Bose system as standard; LT and Z71 buyers can add it through the Enhance Driving Package.
USB charging is distributed generously throughout the cabin: 4 USB ports at the front, 2 USB ports at the second row, and 2 USB ports at the third row— eight total. A wireless charging pad is standard on RS and High Country trims. A 12V outlet in the cargo area handles accessories. The High Country trims also include a 120V household-style power outlet, useful for charging laptops or powering small devices during camping trips.

OnStar and Remote Services

Every Traverse includes OnStar telematics via an in-vehicle SIM card. The system provides automatic collision notification, emergency services calling, remote lock/unlock, remote start, vehicle diagnostics, and the ability to send destinations directly to the navigation system — all active for an 8-year subscription period. Over-the-air software updates keep the vehicle’s systems current without requiring a service visit.
Navigation with traffic information is included, with an 8-year map update subscription bundled in. Traffic sign recognition comes standard on RS and High Country trims, as well as on LT and Z71 trims equipped with the Driver Confidence Package or Enhance Driving Package.

Confidence and Protection on Country Roads with the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse

The 2027 Traverse carries a 7-airbag system standard across all trims: dual front airbags, front side airbags, side curtain airbags covering all three rows, and front hip airbags. Pre-tensioner seatbelts with height adjustment are fitted at all front positions, and 3-point belts are standard at every seating position including the third-row center seat. LATCH child-seat anchors are standard. An accident data recorder and emergency call function round out the passive safety foundation.

Active Safety and Driver Assistance

Forward Collision Alert activates from as low as 5 mph and triggers both visual and acoustic warnings. Automatic Emergency Braking operates at low speed front and rear. Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking uses a radar-and-camera combination to detect cross-traffic threats at junctions. Rear Cross Traffic Braking uses radar to detect approaching vehicles when reversing and applies the brakes automatically if needed. Side Blind Zone Alert monitors both rear quarters without requiring a turn signal input.
Lane Keep Assist (LKA) applies gentle steering corrections when the vehicle begins to drift from its lane. On RS and High Country trims — and on LT and Z71 trims with the Enhance Driving Package — the system escalates to full Level 2 partial automation via Super Cruise, Chevrolet’s hands-free highway driving system that links adaptive cruise control with map data and real-time lane centering. Super Cruise also includes a driver attention monitor to confirm the driver remains alert.
Parking assistance is comprehensive: Rear Park Assist with camera and sensors is standard across all trims. The HD Surround Vision 360-degree camera system — standard on RS and High Country trims, available on LT and Z71 via the Driver Confidence Package — stitches together a bird’s-eye view of the vehicle’s surroundings. Automated parking (perpendicular, parallel, and exit) is available on equipped trims, as is parking space detection that identifies suitable gaps.
ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, hill-hold, and electronic handbrake with auto-hold are standard on every trim. The AWD Z71 adds descent control for navigating steep grades.

2027 Chevrolet Traverse Trim Pricing Breakdown

Which Trim Makes the Most Sense?

The FWD LT at $40,800 delivers the core Traverse experience — the giant touchscreen, wireless phone integration, full safety suite, and 7-seat capacity — at the lowest entry price. It suits buyers whose primary use is school runs, local errands, and highway travel in fair weather.
The AWD LT at $42,800 is the practical choice for anyone who regularly navigates wet roads or wants traction confidence on sloped terrain near the lake or on rural routes.
The AWD Z71 at $49,100 is purpose-built for buyers who pull boats, drive unpaved roads, or want genuine all-terrain capability without sacrificing daily usability. The all-terrain tires and added ground clearance are not cosmetic.
The AWD RS at $57,800 and FWD RS at $55,800 are for buyers who want the sport aesthetic and the full technology suite — Bose audio, Super Cruise, HD Surround Vision, and ventilated seats — without the High Country’s premium price.
The High Country trims at $58,100(AWD) and $56,100(FWD) add the final layer of luxury: memorized driver settings, ventilated front and heated second-row seats, and the most complete driver assistance suite in the lineup as standard equipment.

Warranty, Maintenance, and Service Insights for 2027 Chevrolet Traverse Owners

The 2027 Chevrolet Traverse is backed by a comprehensive warranty package that applies identically across all seven covered trims.
Coverage Type Duration Distance
Bumper-to-bumper (whole vehicle) 36 months 36,000 mi
Powertrain 60 months 60,000 mi
Anti-corrosion 72 months 100,000 mi
Paint 36 months 36,000 mi
Full service (scheduled maintenance) 24 months 24,000 mi
Roadside assistance 60 months 60,000 mi

What the Coverage Means Practically

The 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty is the number that matters most for long-term ownership confidence. It covers the engine, transmission, and drivetrain components — the most expensive items to repair on any vehicle. The 6-year/100,000-mile anti-corrosion coverage is particularly relevant for Traverse owners who regularly park near water or drive on roads that receive salt treatment during cold snaps.
The 2-year/24,000-mile scheduled maintenance inclusion means that your first two years of oil changes and routine services are covered. This is a meaningful ownership benefit that reduces the total cost of the first two years of ownership compared to vehicles that charge for every service visit.
Chevrolet Roadside Assistance is active for 60 months or 60,000 miles, covering flat tires, battery jump-starts, lockout service, emergency fuel delivery, and towing to the nearest authorized Chevrolet service center. This coverage travels with the vehicle, not just the original owner.
Guntersville Chevrolet’s service department handles all Chevrolet warranty work and scheduled maintenance. You can schedule a service appointment online at your convenience rather than calling during business hours. For buyers considering a certified pre-owned Traverse as an alternative, our certified pre-owned inventory includes vehicles that carry their own extended coverage terms.
The Traverse’s over-the-air update capability means the vehicle’s software, infotainment system, and driver assistance calibrations can be updated remotely — reducing the need for dealer visits for software-related issues and keeping the vehicle’s technology current over time.

Awards and Expert Recognition Highlighting the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse’s Strengths

The 2027 Traverse enters the market as the successor to a model that automotive media has consistently recognized for its blend of practicality and value. Publications including MotorTrend, Car and Driver, Edmunds, and Autoblog have noted the Traverse’s competitive positioning in the three-row SUV segment, particularly praising the combination of a large touchscreen, comprehensive standard safety technology, and genuine towing capability at accessible price points.
The Traverse’s standard 17.7-inch touchscreen is one of the largest in its class, and reviewers have specifically called out the wireless CarPlay and Android Auto integration as a standout feature at every trim level — not just at the top of the range. The inclusion of Super Cruise on RS and High Country trims, and its availability as a package option on LT and Z71, places the Traverse in a small group of non-luxury three-row SUVs offering hands-free highway driving.
The AWD Z71’s all-terrain capability has drawn attention as a genuine differentiator in a segment where most competitors offer only cosmetic off-road packages. The combination of all-terrain tires, increased ground clearance, front tow hooks, descent control, and a standard AWD system creates a credible light off-road variant rather than a marketing exercise.
The 5,000-lb towing rating — consistent across all trims — is competitive within the class and meaningful for the boat-owning families who represent a significant portion of the Traverse’s target buyer in lake communities. That rating, combined with standard Hitch Guidance with Hitch View and an available 360-camera extension for trailer monitoring, makes the Traverse a practical tow vehicle rather than one that merely meets a minimum threshold.

Frequently Asked Questions About the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse

Q: What is the towing capacity of the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse?

Every 2027 Chevrolet Traverse trim — from the FWD LT to the AWD High Country — is rated to tow up to 5,000 lbs. That capacity is consistent regardless of whether the vehicle is equipped with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and it applies across all seven covered trims. Standard Hitch Guidance with Hitch View assists with trailer hookup, and an available 360-camera extension helps monitor the trailer while driving.

Q: What is the fuel economy of the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse?

AWD trims (AWD LT, AWD RS, AWD Z71, AWD High Country) return 20 mpg city / 24 mpg highway / 21 mpg combined. FWD trims (FWD LT, FWD RS, FWD High Country) return 20 mpg city / 26 mpg highway / 22 mpg combined. The FWD variants deliver a measurably better highway number, which translates to a calculated range of 477 miles on the FWD trims versus 456 miles on AWD trims, based on the 21.7-gallon fuel tank shared by all configurations.
Drivetrain City MPG Highway MPG Combined MPG Fuel Tank Calculated Range
All-wheel drive 20 mpg 24 mpg 21 mpg 21.7 gal 456 mi
Front-wheel drive 20 mpg 26 mpg 22 mpg 21.7 gal 477 mi

Q: Does the 2027 Traverse come standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?

Yes. Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are standard on all seven covered trims. Neither requires a cable, and both are included for the life of the vehicle rather than as a subscription. The 17.7-inch touchscreen and 11-inch digital instrument cluster are also standard across all trims.

Q: Which trim should I choose if I need all-wheel drive for local terrain?

For most buyers navigating rolling hills, wet roads, and occasional unpaved surfaces, the AWD LT at $42,800 offers the best combination of value and all-weather capability. Buyers who regularly use boat ramps, drive gravel roads, or want genuine light off-road ability should consider the AWD Z71 at $49,100, which adds all-terrain tires, 7.8-inch ground clearance, front tow hooks, and descent control.
