Total comfort

2017 Chevrolet Traverse Premier 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

With leather seats that both heat up and cool down, no matter what time of year you drive it, the Premier will have everything you need. I love the fact that it has 3 rows of comfortable seating. The back 2 rows fold down for sleeping in the back if you are camping out during your road trip. The captain's chairs are wide and extremely comfortable. Love it!

Had my 2015 Town and Country in the shop and had to rent a vehicle for the week. Closest thing they had that was similar in size was the 2017 LT Chevy Traverse. The vehicle has TONS of room, and overall was a very smooth and comfortable ride. I'm not sure why people are complaining about the acceleration. If buying one, I would go into the purchase decision knowing that I am buying it for safety and cargo capacity, not acceleration. With nearly 300 HP, it accelerates just fine. No, you won't blow a sports car away, but it will handle basic driving tasks just fine (i.e., city driving and passing on the highway). That said, the vehicle falls very short in terms of modern technology, as well as some basic amenities most family oriented vehicles seem to have. The center console seems intrusive and not really functional. The cargo door does not automatically raise or lower itself, and there doesn't seem to be a way to control this from the driver's seat either. The center entertainment console looks like it is a 1st generation console; possibly from the early 2000s. The gauge cluster gives you trip information and mileage, that's it. No distance-to-empty, which even our 2011 Sonata (base model) has. The rear view camera seems a bit slow to respond, but works okay. Climate control seems lacking, though is very effective. For example, there are climate control knobs for rear passengers, but if they're kids (in our case), they can't reach them. In our mini-van they can reach them fine. No dual-zone controls for the driver / passenger either. With that said, the air-conditioning and heating works excellent. Overall, I can't imagine anyone buying this SUV unless they were only concerned with cargo capacity. Unless you step up to the Premier level, the vehicle is simply out-classed by competitors (my opinion).

Nice family vehicle. It's very roomy inside. Love the 3rd row seating. Runs good. I'm very happy with my purchase.
