2020 Chevy Traverse Trims Comparison

All trims start with a 3.6-liter V6 (310 horsepower, 266 lb-ft of torque) paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. Most trims come with standard front-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive.

The Traverse L base model comes respectably equipped with features such as 18-inch wheels, cloth upholstery, a rearview camera, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, onboard Wi-Fi, and a 7-inch touchscreen display interface.

You're not likely to find many L trims on dealer lots, though, so the LS trim will be most people's starting point. It comes with the same equipment as the L but offers optional all-wheel drive and a few optional extras (second-row tablet mounts with dedicated USB charging, for example).

Moving up to the LT Cloth replaces the second-row bench seat with captain's chairs. That reduces seating capacity to seven, although the bench can be added back as an option. The LT Cloth also provides two option packages. One adds basic driver safety aids and an upgraded infotainment system; the other adds a trailer hitch and upgraded cooling system.

As its name suggests, the LT Leather comes standard with leather upholstery. An optional Premium package with navigation, upgraded audio system and top-down parking camera system is also available. The RS is equipped much like the LT Leather and comes standard with Premium package features. But it also features unique styling cues and accents such as 20-inch wheels and a blacked-out grille and bowtie badge.

The Premier sits near the top of the range with a hands-free liftgate, ventilated front seats, wireless device charging, and an optional sunroof. The range-topping High Country comes with all the Premier's goodies plus an advanced all-wheel-drive system, panoramic sunroof and adaptive cruise control, among other features.
