What's New in the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse?
The Traverse is all-new for 2018, offering an improved designed, choice of V6 or turbocharged 4-cylinder engines and equipped with the latest high-tech features.
Which Traverse is the Best?
For the money, we think the Traverse LT Cloth with AWD is the best choice of the bunch. However, if you want advanced driver assists like forward emergency braking and adaptive cruise control, you're going to have to move up to the more expensive Premier or High Country trim.
