Performance
The Traverse's legs are provided by a standard 310 horsepower V-6 engine and a smooth-shifting nine-speed automatic gearbox. Drivers near Mission will undoubtedly appreciate this vehicle's excellent performance. The cabin is so silent that you must look at the tachometer to ensure the engine is running when stopped in traffic. In that regard, the Traverse has one of the most flawless automated stop/start functions. The Traverse feels every bit its size when parking or navigating at modest speeds.
When you accelerate, the huge Chevy feels smaller than it is poised, though not aggressively sporty. The steering effort is moderate, yet the system is accurate, making aiming the large SUV simple. The suspension of the Traverse is adjusted to provide a strong combination of handling and ride comfort, making it ideal for any terrain.
