2018 Chevy Traverse RS: Spacious Style, and the Rewards of Thinking Big

During the winter months at Jim Butler Chevy, many of our blog readers may be trying to visualize snippets about what our daily regimen is like. They may have the notion that we are huddling around the meeting table trying to keep warm, arguing over who has current snow shoveling duty, and maybe having ample amounts of time on our hands. While this is a humorous way to picture things, it is actually not true! The winter is a time when we work hard to focus on new financing options, talk about features of new models as they arrive on the lot, and are preparing to assist folks on test drives for those deciding which vehicle is best for their needs.

One of the most versatile and show-stealing vehicles out there is the brand new Chevy Traverse RS. Much of its value is due to its full product lineup, which positions the vehicle to be viable competition across the entire SUV genre. The street-inspired look is a visceral selling point, and a more connected vehicle for all lifestyles is brought to life with aggressive new styling. Drivers from all walks of life here in St Louis will find the Traverse RS a functional and reliable addition to their daily life. Putting to use the overall concept based on the redesigned 2018 Traverse, the RS provides 98.2 cubic feet of cargo room, more high-tech options than the previous model, and an enhanced list of safety features, offering the optimum in daily protection for you and your passengers during every drive.

A vehicle that truly reaps the benefits of thinking big, the Traverse has a wheelbase that is a full two inches longer than the previous model, and provides more headroom and legroom for the second and third-row riders. This is an impressive feat, considering that the last version had the claim of having one of the most spacious cabins in its class. One feature that really helps the RS stand out in the crowd from other current offerings is the awesome new black window trim, accompanied by a black grille, roof nails, and bowtie emblems, as well as a 20-inch aluminum wheel set featuring an icily dark Android hue.

Whenever a model is the first to display a certain production trait, it can help drastically in its overall appeal to others, and really set itself aside from various selections in the current lineup. The RS is the very first model in the Traverse family that features turbocharged performance, which is the key to its high-spirited and very robust-off-the-line driving experience. The design team behind the scenes has successfully wrapped the 2018 Traverse in sheet metal, which gives gives it a more squared-off appearance, as well as working to complement the 351 pounds of weight that have been shed.

This success in weight loss effectively helps bring the Traverse RS down to the same category as fiercely-battling competitors such as the Toyota Highlander, as well as the Pilot.
