The 2012 Chevrolet Traverse Highlights

 

 

 

A Smarter Approach To Family Driving

 

Traverse is designed in thoughtful response to your family’s needs. The interior isn’t only spacious – it’s remarkably versatile. Performance is accompanied by a highway fuel consumption rating that beats all other eight-seat crossovers and SUVs.1 Advanced safety measures have earned a 5-Star Overall Rating Score for Safety from NHTSA.2 And a host of communications and entertainment features enhance the experience along the way. Getting the picture about how Traverse has earned a Consumers Digest Best Buy award three years in a row?

 

It's Already Packed

 

Traverse is packed with space – at the ready for whatever shape your plans take. Even with a full complement of eight passengers, Traverse provides a substantial 691 L (24.4 cu. ft.) of cargo space behind the third-row seat. Want to increase the cargo capacity? Fold down the second and third rows of seats and open up a class-leading 3,297 L (116.4 cu. ft.) of storage.3 And the space can be easily reconfigured for your passengers’ comfort and convenience with a Smart SlideTM second-row seat that moves up to 89 mm (3.5 in.) to add legroom or provide easier access to the third row.

 

 

Smart Moves

 

Traverse employs intelligent technology to help you drive smarter. The standard 281 horsepower 3.6L V6 engine employs Direct Injection and Variable Valve Timing (VVT) to produce an 8.4 L/100 km highway fuel consumption rating – better than any other 8-seat CUV or SUV.1 Technology is also used to enhance driver control with the standard StabiliTrak® electronic stability control system, Enhanced Rollover Protection, ABS, and full-function traction control, in addition to available All-Wheel-Drive (AWD). Traverse – a smarter way to go.

 

 

 

Be Aware, Be Safe

 

Traverse helps you avoid an incident with the above mentioned driver control technologies, in addition to available features that help you see the unseen, including a Rear Vision Camera, spotter mirror and ultrasonic rear parking assist.3 And if you accidentally press down on the accelerator and brake pedal at the same time, a new enhanced electronic pedal override intervenes, only activating the brakes. You can take added reassurance from the fact Traverse earned the highest possible 5-Star Overall Rating Score for Safety from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.2

 

 

Call In. Tune In. Plug In.

 

Traverse has all the right connections. Bluetooth® hands-free mobile phone connectivity is standard on LT and LTZ models. The entertainment value is enhanced by the 130 channels of the standard XM Satellite RadioTM.4 You can make the experience even more captivating with the Bose® 10-speaker 5.1 surround sound system on 2LT and LTZ models. It includes an integrated USB port that enables you to access music from your MP3 player or flash drive. See how Traverse puts more fun into functionality?
