2027 Chevrolet Traverse Trim Guide: Pricing, Specs and Features

The 2027 Chevrolet Traverse is built for families who need real three-row space, available all-wheel drive and useful towing capacity in one vehicle. Every trim shares the same turbocharged 2.5L engine producing 328 hp and 326 lb-ft of torque, a tow rating of up to 5,000 lbs when properly equipped, and 22.9 cu ft of cargo space behind the third row. Pricing runs from $42,795 MSRP for the front-wheel-drive LT to $60,095 MSRP for the all-wheel-drive High Country, giving Waynesboro-area families a clear ladder to match budget to equipment.

Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for new vehicles includes manufacturer and distributor options and delivery, process and handling fees, which may be subject to change at any time. MSRP excludes taxes, title, license and dealer installed options, accessories, fees and charges. MSRP is not the dealer advertised price. Dealer price will vary. The dealer sets the final price.

Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner’s manual and the vehicle’s door-jamb label for specific capacities.

2027 Chevrolet Traverse Pricing and Trim Lineup

Chevrolet offers the 2027 Traverse in four trims — LT, Z71, RS and High Country — across seven trim and drivetrain combinations. All-wheel drive is a $2,000 option on the LT and RS, standard on the Z71, and available on the High Country. The lineup spans $17,300 from the entry point to the top of the range, which means households at different points in their careers can find a configuration that fits without paying for equipment they will not use.

The LT is the value trim and the only Traverse that seats eight. It arrives with the 17.7-inch touchscreen, an 11-inch driver display, six-speaker audio, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, tri-zone climate control, an eight-way power driver’s seat, wireless phone charging, adaptive cruise control, the AutoSense power liftgate and the trailering package — a well-equipped starting point rather than a stripped one.

The Z71 is the off-pavement trim and is all-wheel drive only. The RS and High Country sit at the top of the range within a few hundred dollars of each other and split the difference between sport and luxury: the RS goes blacked out and aggressive, the High Country goes bright and refined. Both add standard Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology with a three-year OnStar Super Cruise plan, which is the most significant equipment story in the 2027 lineup.

Always pay attention while driving and when using Super Cruise. Do not use a hand-held device. Always use Super Cruise in accordance with local laws. Requires active Super Cruise plan or trial. Terms apply. Visit chevrolet.com/super-cruise for compatible roads and full details.

Safety or driver assistance features are no substitute for the driver’s responsibility to operate the vehicle in a safe manner. The driver should remain attentive to traffic, surroundings and road conditions at all times. Visibility, weather and road conditions may affect feature performance. Read the vehicle Owner’s Manual for more important feature limitations and information.

Exterior Design and Color Choices

The 2027 Traverse measures 204.49 inches long on a 121.0-inch wheelbase, 79.57 inches wide at the body and 69.57 inches tall. The Z71 stands apart on both ends of the tape, at 204.72 inches long and 70.67 inches tall on its lifted suspension. The proportions read as substantial without the bulk of a full-size SUV, and the vehicle remains manageable in everyday parking.

Trim identity is easy to read from the curb. The LT wears chrome accents, a gold bowtie and 18-inch wheels. The Z71 swaps in black trim and black badging with 18-inch gloss-black machined-face wheels on all-terrain tires. The RS blacks out the grille, roof rails and badging and rides on 22-inch gloss-black wheels. The High Country introduces exclusive Tritan Satin finishes inside and out, 22-inch gloss-black machined-face wheels and redesigned badging on the doors, liftgate and door sill plates.

Two colors are new for 2027. Trillium Green Metallic is available across all four trims, and Twilight Blue is offered on the RS and High Country. Polar White Tricoat and Radiant Red Tintcoat remain available across the lineup as extra-cost finishes.

Power, Towing and Off-Road Capability

Every 2027 Traverse — front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive — uses the same turbocharged 2.5L four-cylinder paired with an eight-speed automatic. Peak power arrives at 5,500 rpm, which puts the engine’s strength in the mid-range where most family driving happens: merging onto the highway, passing on two-lane roads, or pulling away from a light with a full load of passengers.

Towing is rated at up to 5,000 lbs when properly equipped. For 2027 the trailering package is standard on every trim, and Hitch Guidance with Hitch View is standard as well — the rear camera overlays a guide that lines the hitch ball up with the coupler, which makes solo hitching in a driveway far less frustrating. Because the trailering equipment is included rather than optioned, families do not have to climb the price ladder to reach the tow rating.

The Z71 is the trim built for gravel and trailheads rather than pavement alone.

Ground clearance rises to 7.76 inches on the Z71, against 6.77 inches on the rest of the lineup, and the trim pairs its Advanced Twin-Clutch all-wheel-drive system with Terrain Mode and Hill Descent Control.

EPA-Estimated Fuel Economy

Front-wheel-drive models return better highway numbers than their all-wheel-drive counterparts, while city economy is identical at an EPA-estimated 20 mpg either way. The entire penalty for all-wheel drive lands on the highway figure.

Front-Wheel Drive

• EPA-Estimated City: 20 mpg
• EPA-Estimated Highway: 26 mpg
• EPA-Estimated Combined: 22 mpg

All-Wheel Drive

• EPA-Estimated City: 20 mpg
• EPA-Estimated Highway: 24 mpg
• EPA-Estimated Combined: 21 mpg

For a family whose driving is mostly highway miles, front-wheel drive delivers a modest but real efficiency advantage. For families who want year-round traction, all-wheel drive costs $2,000 on the LT and RS and comes standard on the Z71.

EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.

Interior Space and Seating

Three rows, room for seven or eight, and enough headroom for adults in every position — the Traverse’s interior dimensions are what make it work as a family vehicle. Second-row captain’s chairs seating seven are standard, and the LT offers a second-row bench that raises capacity to eight at no additional charge. The Z71, RS and High Country seat seven.

Second-row passengers get 41.5 inches of legroom and 40 inches of headroom, so teenagers are not folded up on the way to practice. Third-row legroom of 32.1 inches is tight for adults on long trips but genuinely workable for children, and the third row sits at a natural angle rather than forcing a knees-up posture.

Cargo space runs 22.9 cu ft behind the third row, 56.6 cu ft with the third row folded, and 97.6 cu ft with both rear rows down — a figure Chevrolet publishes as 98 cu ft and describes as best in class.

Tri-zone automatic climate control with rear controls is standard, so second- and third-row passengers manage their own temperature. Heated front seats are standard across the lineup. The LT uses cloth upholstery with Evotex synthetic leather available as an option, while the Z71, RS and High Country come with leatherette seating standard. Upper trims add ventilated front seats, a power front passenger seat, driver memory settings, a power-adjustable steering wheel, heated second-row seats and active noise cancellation. The High Country layers on real wood trim accents and microfiber suede placed throughout the cabin.

Technology and Connectivity

Chevrolet made a clear decision on screens: every 2027 Traverse gets a 17.7-inch touchscreen and an 11-inch digital driver display. There is no base-trim penalty on display size — a family in an LT sees the same screen real estate as a buyer in a High Country.

Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are standard across the lineup, as is Google built-in with Google voice assistance. Wireless phone charging is standard on every trim, not reserved for upper trims. The RS and High Country add 12-speaker Bose audio and three years of OnStar One service as standard equipment; LT and Z71 buyers can add the same three-year OnStar One plan for $800.

Super Cruise is the headline. Chevrolet makes its hands-free driver assistance technology standard on both the RS and the High Country, each bundled with a three-year OnStar Super Cruise plan. LT and Z71 buyers can add it through the Enhanced Driving Package, which also includes Driver Attention Assist. Super Cruise operates on compatible mapped highways and the driver remains responsible for the vehicle at all times.

Safety and Driver Assistance

Chevrolet equips every 2027 Traverse with more than 20 standard safety and driver assistance features, which means families do not have to climb trims to reach the systems that matter most.

Chevy Safety Assist is standard across the lineup and includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking, IntelliBeam automatic high beams and a Following Distance Indicator. Adaptive Cruise Control is also standard on every trim, including the LT — unusual at this price and a genuine part of the base trim’s value argument. Automatic emergency braking includes intersection capability, and Blind Zone Steering Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Braking round out the standard suite. Four-wheel antilock disc brakes, StabiliTrak electronic stability control and Hill Start Assist are standard.

The Driver Confidence Package adds HD Surround Vision, a Rear Camera Mirror, Rear Pedestrian Alert, Traffic Sign Recognition and an interior camera. It is standard on the RS and High Country and available on the LT and Z71, which gives families on the entry trims a direct path to the 360-degree camera and rear-seat visibility without stepping up two trim levels.

Safety or driver assistance features are no substitute for the driver’s responsibility to operate the vehicle in a safe manner. The driver should remain attentive to traffic, surroundings and road conditions at all times. Visibility, weather and road conditions may affect feature performance. Read the vehicle Owner’s Manual for more important feature limitations and information.

Warranty and Ownership Coverage

The five-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty is the figure that matters most for long-term ownership planning, and the six-year, 100,000-mile rust-through coverage is worth noting for Pennsylvania owners who deal with road salt every winter. Roadside assistance runs alongside the powertrain term at five years or 60,000 miles. Chevrolet includes the first maintenance visit; additional coverage is available through the MobileService+ plan in one-year and three-year terms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the 2027 Traverse have enough cargo space for a family of five with gear?

With all seats occupied, the Traverse offers 22.9 cu ft behind the third row — enough for a week of groceries or a set of sports bags. Fold the third row and that grows to 56.6 cu ft. Fold both rear rows and you have 97.6 cu ft, which handles strollers, camping gear or luggage for a full road trip.

Is the Z71 worth the extra cost over an all-wheel-drive LT?

The Z71 starts at $51,095 MSRP against $44,795 MSRP for the all-wheel-drive LT, a difference of $6,300. That premium buys the Advanced Twin-Clutch all-wheel-drive system, all-terrain tires on 18-inch gloss-black wheels, a ground clearance increase from 6.77 to 7.76 inches, off-road suspension, a skid plate, recovery hooks, Terrain Mode and Hill Descent Control. For driving that stays on pavement and the occasional gravel road, the LT is enough. For regular unpaved-trail or campground access, the Z71 hardware earns the step up.

What is the towing capacity of the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse?

The 2027 Traverse is rated to tow up to 5,000 lbs when properly equipped. The trailering package is standard for 2027, and Hitch Guidance with Hitch View is included, so no towing-specific option package is required.

Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner’s manual and the vehicle’s door-jamb label for specific capacities.

How do front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive compare on fuel economy?

Front-wheel-drive models are EPA-estimated at 20 city / 26 highway / 22 combined mpg. All-wheel-drive models are EPA-estimated at 20 city / 24 highway / 21 combined mpg. City economy is identical; the difference is entirely on the highway figure.
