The 2024 Chevrolet Traverse Is A Top Choice For Families
The 2024 Chevrolet Traverse is here with a big makeover, making it an even better choice for families in Kalispell, Montana. This mid-size SUV has lots of new features that boost its capability, comfort, and tech, making it a top pick for family rides.
What's New for 2024?
The biggest change you'll notice is the bolder, more rugged design. There's a new Z71 trim with higher ground clearance and off-road-ready features. Under the hood, they've swapped out the old V6 for a standard turbocharged engine and the tech upgrades are impressive too, with a best-in-class 17.7-inch touchscreen now standard on all trims. Plus, GM's Super Cruise system is available on select trims.
Performance and Handling
The 2024 Chevy Traverse swaps out the V6 for a standard 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Some might miss the V6's roar, but the turbo gives you quicker acceleration, This means a more responsive drive, especially on the highway or in busy city traffic.
The 8-speed automatic transmission keeps things smooth, and you can opt for AWD if you want extra traction in all kinds of weather. It's not a sporty ride, but the Traverse focuses on comfort and stability, with firm brakes and a smooth ride for everyone inside.
Towing Capacity
With the optional Trailering package, the new Traverse can tow up to 5,000 pounds, easily handling most family-sized trailers. This package comes with a heavy-duty cooling system, a 220-amp alternator, and a special "Hitch View" on the exterior camera system to make connecting your trailer pretty easy.
Interior, Comfort, and Convenience
The Traverse’s spacious interior is one of its best selling points. It offers class-leading 98 cu. ft. of max cargo capacity, perfect for packing in luggage, sports gear, or all the groceries for a big family. The flexible seating options let you choose between a bench seat for maximum passenger capacity or captain's chairs in the second row for added comfort.
Even the third row has enough legroom for adults, making long trips more comfortable for everyone. Standard features like a large center console with storage compartments and hidden bins throughout the cabin ensure everyone has a place for their belongings.
Safety
The 2024 Traverse prioritizes safety with the Chevy Safety Assist suite coming standard on every model. This suite includes:
automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection
lane-keeping assist with lane departure warning
automatic high-beam headlights.
For an extra layer of safety and reduced fatigue on long drives, we recommend adding the available SuperCruise driver-assistance system for hands-free driving capabilities on compatible highways.
Infotainment and Connectivity
The 2024 Traverse puts technology front and center with a huge 17.7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. With available Wi-Fi, passengers can stay connected while on the move, and Google Built-In features let you access your favorite apps and services.
The 2024 Chevrolet Traverse isn't just a bigger, bolder SUV; it's a well-thought-out package designed to meet the needs of large families. It’s big not just in size and cabin space, but also in performance, towing, and tech features.
