2027 Chevrolet Traverse Expert Review
Family Strengths & a Useful LT Perspective
MotorTrend's Bob Hernandez praises the Traverse's space, straightforward technology and strong engine, while noting some less-refined cabin materials and a large-vehicle feel from behind the wheel.
MotorTrend recommends LT with AWD for its standard conveniences and family practicality—a useful reason to consider the lower trim before paying for specialty equipment or finishes.

What Does Each Traverse Trim Offer?
Trim 1 of 4
2027 Chevrolet Traverse LT
The flexible starting point for three-row households.
$41,100 Starting MSRP*
| Starting MSRP* | $41,100 FWD / $43,100 AWD |
|---|---|
| Price Relationship* | Base Trim of the Traverse Lineup |
| Cabin & Seating |
|
| Standard Comfort & Technology |
|
| Drivetrain & Towing* |
|
| Best Fit | Families Wanting Three Rows, an Available Eighth Seat & a Lower Starting Price |
Real-World Analysis
If you regularly carry eight people, start with LT and confirm that the vehicle has the optional second-row bench; the captain's-chair layout seats seven. Try third-row access with the passengers and child seats you normally carry.
For mostly paved driving, LT is a useful starting point. Compare LT AWD with Z71 when you need added traction, or an option-equipped LT with RS when driver-assistance technology* is your main priority. Check the actual package combination and equipped price.
Trim 2 of 4
2027 Chevrolet Traverse Z71
The capability-focused choice for unpaved access and changing traction.
$49,400 Starting MSRP*
| Starting MSRP* | $49,400 with AWD Standard |
|---|---|
| Price Relationship* | +$8,300 vs. LT FWD Includes Standard Twin-Clutch AWD & Trail Equipment |

| AWD & Controls |

| Suspension & Protection |
|
| Seating & Interior Options |
|
| Best Fit | Drivers Regularly Facing Uneven Lake-Access Roads, Gravel Approaches & Low-Traction Surfaces |
Real-World Analysis
Repeated gravel approaches and uneven lake-access roads are the reason to consider Z71. Its equipment supports those trips, but ground clearance, surface conditions and your route still set the limits; it remains a three-row family SUV.
If most of your miles are on pavement, compare LT AWD first. Moving to RS shifts the emphasis to cabin convenience and road-oriented styling, so confirm that you prefer that setup to Z71's specialized trail hardware.
Trim 3 of 4
2027 Chevrolet Traverse RS
Bold on-road design with standard hands-free highway technology.*
$55,800 Starting MSRP*
| Starting MSRP* | $55,800 FWD / $57,800 AWD |
|---|---|
| Price Relationship* | +$6,400 vs. Z71 AWD RS Starts with FWD; Not a Like-for-Like Drivetrain Comparison |
| Step-Up Features & Changes | |
| Design & Character |
|
| Driver Assistance* | Standard Super Cruise with 3-Year OnStar Super Cruise Plan |
| Cabin Convenience |
|
| Changes From Z71 | Road-Focused Wheels & Styling Replace Z71's Twin-Clutch AWD, Skid Plate & All-Terrain Tires |
| Best Fit | Drivers Prioritizing Standard Super Cruise, Power-Folding Seats & Blackout Styling |
Real-World Analysis
RS is worth comparing when power-folding seats and cabin comfort will make your regular routine easier. For frequent US-75 travel, explore Super Cruise on an equipped vehicle and check compatible roads, driver-attention requirements and service coverage.
Drive the 22-inch wheel setup on familiar pavement before choosing it. Compare an option-equipped LT if highway assistance* is your main requirement, or High Country when the cabin finish matters as much as convenience.
Trim 4 of 4
2027 Chevrolet Traverse High Country
An elevated cabin with signature finishes and standard Super Cruise.
$56,100 Starting MSRP*
| Starting MSRP* | $56,100 FWD / $58,100 AWD |
|---|---|
| Price Relationship* | +$300 vs. RS FWD Different Premium Materials & Exterior Finishes, Not More Power |
| Step-Up Features & Changes | |
| Cabin Materials |
|
| Exterior & Identity |
|
| Changes From RS | Keeps Standard Super Cruise; Replaces RS Blackout & Red Details with Wood, Natural Tan & Tritan Satin Finishes |
| Best Fit | Drivers Prioritizing Premium Textures, Warm Cabin Accents & a Distinctive High Country Finish |
Real-World Analysis
Compare High Country and RS in person: the materials, colors and touch points are the distinction you will experience every day. Their published FWD starting prices are $300 apart*, and options or dealer pricing can change the gap between actual vehicles.
Choose the interior you enjoy most after checking the equipment. High Country's position in the lineup does not add Z71's trail hardware or LT's available eighth seat.

Shop Traverse LT ModelsFrequently Asked Questions
Details Worth Settling Before You Shop
Can I get Cabin Glance without buying an RS or High Country?
Yes. The Cabin Glance interior camera is available on LT and Z71 and standard on RS and High Country. Confirm the equipment on the specific Traverse you are considering.
Does Traverse Z71 tow more than the other trims?
No. Z71 adds specialized traction and rough-road equipment, not a higher published tow limit. The Traverse can tow up to 5,000 lb* when properly equipped. Confirm the specific vehicle's rating and loaded trailer weight.
Does Super Cruise work on every highway?
No. Super Cruise operates only on compatible roads and under supported conditions. It requires an attentive driver, compatible vehicle equipment and an eligible service plan.*
Will the 22" wheels on RS or High Country improve ride comfort?
Not necessarily. Larger wheels do not guarantee a smoother ride, and tire choices can change how road imperfections feel. Compare the 22" setups with LT or Z71 on the same roads.
Does the 2027 Traverse require premium gasoline?
No. The 2027 Traverse uses regular unleaded gasoline rated 87 octane or higher.
