Chevrolet Traverse Reviews: Performance and Utility 

If you’ve spent enough time researching three-row SUV options in Glen Allen, they can start to seem pretty similar after a while. So what sets the 2021 Chevy Traverse apart from the pack? Let’s see what the experts think:

  • Cars.USNews.com – “It has a capable V6 engine, gets decent gas mileage, and provides a cushioned ride, even over rough roads. Few SUVs in any class have as much cargo space, and the Traverse can accommodate adults in all three rows. The infotainment tech is user-friendly as well.”
  • Edmunds.com – “The Traverse offers abundant space for adults, child seats, water bottles and whatever else you can think of. There’s 23 cubic feet of luggage space behind the upright third row, which is more than what most rivals offer.”
  • Kelley Blue Book® – “The Chevrolet Traverse is a tempting vehicle for families, thanks to its extra interior room and a starting price that undercuts most competitors. We also like its standard V6 engine, the ability to tow up to 5,000 pounds, and seating for seven or eight passengers.”

Chevrolet Traverse Reviews: Safety

Strong performance and ample interior room don’t mean much if you don’t feel confident driving your family in an SUV. The 2021 Traverse eases all worries with top-notch safety ratings from the NHTSA and IIHS! You can cruise with confidence in Goochland knowing the Traverse earned the following scores:

NHTSA

  • 5-Star Overall Safety Rating

IIHS

  • Crashworthiness: Good (highest possible rating)
  • Vehicle-to-Vehicle Frontal Crash Avoidance & Mitigation: Superior (highest possible rating)
  • Vehicle-to-Pedestrian Frontal Crash Avoidance & Mitigation: Superior (highest possible rating) 

Why Choose the Traverse? A Final Look from MotorTrend

The Traverse has a lot of competition in the mid-size segment, so why do so many Richmond drivers choose it over competitors like the Ford Explorer? We think MotorTrend said it best:

“The Chevrolet Traverse flies further under the radar than most mid-size three-row crossovers, but that doesn’t mean it has little to offer families. Along with a quiet ride, it boasts sharp handling and more cargo space than its competitors—mostly because it’s huge. (And buyers looking to haul people and cargo will never turn down more space.)”

At the end of the day, it’s the subtle features like standard 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot capabilities and hidden in-floor storage that make the Traverse a top option!
