Families and students getting back to school in the fall are always on the hunt for a safe vehicle with excellent traction and stability. This improves the car’s handling in the most challenging of road conditions, and provides an extra amount of might and muster if you like to occasionally jump off-road and tackle the challenges of the trail.
U.S. News And World Report included the 2021 Chevy Traverse on its list of the 12 Best All-Wheel-Drive SUVs in 2021, solidifying its class-leading abilities for great driving when the weather gets a bit dicey. The list gave the 2021 Chevy Traverse an overall score of 8.4 out of 10 points, commending the vehicle for its available heated and ventilated seats to add comfort during the cold spells that are so common and uncomfortable during a midwestern winter. With the Drive Mode Selector, you can quickly choose between FWD, AWD, Tow/Haul, and Off-Road modes to efficiently conquer rain, snow, sleet, or ice!
Each trim comes equipped with the 3.6-liter V6 engine that delivers 310 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque along with fully independent suspension making for smooth rides over rough terrain. If frequent trips to the lake are one of the ways you like to kick off the weekend, the Trailering Package provides the power to tow up to 5,000 pounds and transport a small boat or trailer. Inside you’ll find plenty of space, with seating for up to 8 and an impressive 23 cubic feet of cargo volume.
New features for this year include active safety systems becoming standard equipment, redesigned front and rear fascias, and LED headlights and taillights. A bit larger than most of its competitors with a lower entry-level price point, the Traverse will always appeal to families who appreciate good bang for their buck.
Whether your daily missions involve shuttling the sports team, delivering food and groceries, or hauling your entire family on a trip, the latest model Traverse is capable and comfortable. It is also now possible to fully disable the start/stop system that shuts off the engine at stoplights. If this is not suitable for your style of driving, you can use a button just below the gear selector to the right of the electronic parking brake to temporarily disengage the feature.
