2027 Chevrolet Traverse: What’s New, Trims, Specs & Features

The 2027 Chevrolet Traverse produces 328 hp and 326 lb-ft of torque from a 2.5L turbocharged inline-4. That output is paired with an 8-speed automatic and up to 5,000 lbs of towing capacity across all trims. This page covers every trim, spec, and key detail, with current inventory available at Greg Hubler Chevrolet.

What’s New for 2027

The headline number for 2027 is 328 hp, delivered by a 2.5L turbocharged inline-4 paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The Traverse carries a 22 combined MPG rating on regular 87-octane fuel, making that power usable without a premium fuel penalty.

The 17.7-inch touchscreen is one of the largest in the three-row SUV segment, and Google Built-In brings Google Maps, Google Play, and Google Gemini directly into the infotainment stack without requiring a phone connection. Super Cruise, Chevrolet’s hands-free driver assistance system, is available on select trims for highway driving.

The Z71 adds AWD as standard equipment and positions itself as the off-road-leaning variant of the Traverse lineup, a distinct option for buyers in central Indiana who want capability beyond pavement.

Trim Lineup

The 2027 Traverse is offered in four trim levels, with FWD and AWD configurations available across most of them.

2027 Chevrolet Traverse LT

LT

LT is the entry point. It pairs the 2.5L turbo with an 8-speed automatic and comes standard in FWD, with AWD available as an upgrade. Buyers get the 17.7-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone connectivity, Google Built-In, adaptive cruise control, rear pedestrian alert, and over 20 standard safety features from the base configuration.

2027 Chevrolet Traverse Z71

Z71

Z71 comes exclusively in AWD and steps up to a trail-ready stance with AWD built in as standard, not optional. It slots between the LT and RS in the lineup and targets buyers who want rugged capability in a family-sized package.

2027 Chevrolet Traverse RS

RS

RS is the sport-styled variant, available in both FWD and AWD. It adds a performance-influenced exterior aesthetic while retaining all core tech features. AWD is optional rather than standard on the RS.

2027 Chevrolet Traverse High Country

High Country

High Country is the top trim level, available in FWD and AWD. It comes standard with the 2.5L Turbo engine and 8-speed automatic, along with premium content not found on lower trims. Standard equipment includes 22″ High Gloss Black aluminum wheels, ventilated front seats, a Bose premium audio system, HD Surround Vision, a Unique Ride and Handling Suspension, heated and power-folding outside mirrors with auto-dimming, Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance, a 17.7-inch touchscreen, and High Country-specific sill plates.

The Enhanced Driving Package including Super Cruise is standard on High Country, and the Convenience Package is included as well. AWD is available rather than standard, making the FWD configuration a practical choice for buyers in central Indiana who want maximum content without the AWD price premium.

2027 Chevrolet Traverse interior comfort and cargo

Interior, Comfort & Cargo

The Traverse seats seven across three rows. Cargo space behind the third row measures 22.9 cu ft, which is competitive for a loaded family trip with all seats occupied. Fold the second row and that number jumps to 56.6 cu ft. Maximum cargo capacity reaches 98 cu ft with all rear seats folded.

The AutoSense Power Liftgate makes loading and unloading easier without requiring a free hand, a practical feature for families managing groceries, gear, or strollers. The High Country adds ventilated front seats and second-row bucket seating as standard, raising comfort for front-row occupants on longer drives.

2027 Chevrolet Traverse technology and infotainment

Technology & Infotainment

The 17.7-inch diagonal touchscreen anchors the dashboard and serves as the hub for navigation, audio, and vehicle controls. An 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center sits in the instrument cluster, giving the driver key readouts without diverting attention to the center stack.

Google Built-In means Google Maps runs natively without a phone mirroring connection, and Google Gemini adds a voice assistant layer that can handle both vehicle and general queries. Wireless smartphone connectivity allows Android Auto and Apple CarPlay pairing without a cable.

Super Cruise, Chevrolet’s hands-free driver assistance technology, is standard on the High Country and available on select other trims. It enables hands-free highway driving on compatible roads. OnStar services are also available. Bluetooth and AM/FM radio round out the connectivity features.

2027 Chevrolet Traverse safety and driver assistance

Safety & Driver Assistance

Every 2027 Traverse ships with more than 20 standard safety and driver assistance features. Two that stand out at the standard level are Rear Pedestrian Alert, which detects people behind the vehicle during low-speed reversing, and Adaptive Cruise Control, which maintains a set following distance from the vehicle ahead.

Those two systems address two of the most common causes of low-speed incidents in family SUVs. The broader suite covers additional collision mitigation, lane assistance, and visibility aids. The High Country adds HD Surround Vision and Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist as standard equipment.

Who It’s For / vs the Prior Year

The 2027 Traverse targets families who need three-row seating, real cargo volume, and enough towing capability to pull a small camper or boat. The 5,000-lb tow rating covers a wide range of recreational trailers, and the 98 cu ft max cargo space means this SUV can function as a cargo hauler when the seats are not needed.

Buyers comparing the 2027 to its immediate predecessor will find the turbo-4 powertrain and the 17.7-inch touchscreen as the standout changes. The Google Built-In platform and the availability of Super Cruise put this Traverse in a different category from older infotainment setups that relied entirely on phone mirroring.

Shoppers in Camby and the broader central Indiana area who want a three-row SUV without moving to a larger body-on-frame vehicle will find the Traverse one of the few unibody options at this towing and cargo level. Buyers who want the most content available should look at the High Country, which adds ventilated seating, Bose audio, and Super Cruise in a single top-tier package.
