Saddle Up for Smoothness: The Traverse High Country Corrals Comfort and Class

2025 Chevy Traverse

We’ve seen all kinds of SUVs roll through our doors at Jim Butler Chevy of St. Louis—from rugged trail-runners to sleek urban crossovers—but the 2025 Chevy Traverse High Country stands out in today’s crowded market. With rising expectations for family vehicles to do it all—comfort, safety, tech, and style—Chevrolet has delivered a true game-changer. The new Traverse High Country blends upscale design, cutting-edge features, and practical versatility into one bold and refined package that meets the modern family's every need, whether it’s a weekday school run or a weekend road trip.

From the moment it pulls up, the High Country trim turns heads. You've got a bold, upscale front grille, massive 22-inch high-gloss black wheels, and Chevy’s signature C-shaped LED lights that give it a distinctive, modern look. Chrome accents around the windows and exclusive High Country badging polish off the premium vibe perfectly.

Now, let’s talk about how impressively this SUV drives. For a three-row vehicle, the 2025 Traverse High Country handles like something much smaller. The suspension is tuned for comfort — smooth and steady, even on the unpredictable pavement you'll find along stretches of I-70 or the backroads outside St. Charles. It glides over potholes, absorbs the bumps, and keeps cabin noise to a minimum. 

Whether you're heading into downtown St. Louis for a night out or navigating tight parking at the Chesterfield shopping center, the ride stays quiet and composed. And with its elevated seating position, you get a commanding view of the road — a real advantage when merging onto I-270 or backing into a tight spot near the ballpark.

City drivers, listen up: this thing is easier to maneuver than you'd think. The steering is light and responsive, and the turning radius is surprisingly tight. Add in standard all-wheel drive and you’re good to go even when South Florida throws one of those sudden downpours your way.

No, it’s not a sports car — but it handles confidently, especially for something that seats up to seven. Chevy’s advanced safety tech sweetens the deal: features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking are all there to make daily commutes or road trips less stressful.

Step inside, and you’re surrounded by comfort. You can go with Jet Black leather and bronze accents or opt for the Sky Cool Gray interior — both look stunning. The front seats are heated and ventilated, second-row outboard seats are heated too, and the third row folds flat at the touch of a button. Long story short: this SUV is ready for real-life use.

Performance-wise, you’re looking at a 2.5-liter turbocharged engine with 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an eight-speed automatic, it delivers solid acceleration — zero to 60 in about 7.3 seconds. It’s strong, smooth, and ready for just about anything your family throws at it.

And of course, safety hasn’t been overlooked. The Traverse High Country comes standard with Chevy Safety Assist, which includes forward collision alert, lane keep assist, auto emergency braking, and more. Add in blind zone steering assist and a high-definition surround-view camera system, and you’ve got peace of mind from driveway to highway.

The 2025 Traverse High Country delivers serious value for families who want more from their SUV. With its refined features, upscale touches, and impressive performance, you’re not just driving — you’re investing in confidence, comfort, and capability wrapped in a premium package.

This isn’t just another three-row SUV checking boxes. The Traverse High Country sets a new standard for what a modern family vehicle can be. If you're looking for something that blends luxury with everyday practicality, this Chevy delivers on all fronts.

Swing by, tap into the marvelous tech, and see why this SUV is getting all the well-deserved attention!
