It's a build-to-order trim, so you're unlikely to ever even see a Traverse L on a dealer lot.įunctionally, the LS trim is the base trim you'll likely come across. The L is only available in front-wheel drive and doesn't have access to most optional extras.

Inside, you get a tilt-adjustable steering wheel, seating for eight, a rearview camera, OnStar communications with a 4G LTE connection and an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot, Chevy's Teen Driver system, and a 7-inch MyLink touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity. The Traverse L may be the base model, but it comes respectably equipped with LED running lights, xenon headlights, 18-inch wheels and an engine stop-start system. Most trims come with standard front-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive.

The standard engine is a 3.6-liter V6 (310 hp, 266 lb-ft of torque) paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. We've found that the Traverse doesn't quite deliver the engaging drive of its rivals - it's a little too slow and the handling is a bit sloppy - but when it comes to a pleasant highway ride and the most room to spread out and carry your stuff, nothing beats it. With features and amenities that cover everything from basic utility to slightly sporty to borderline luxury, the Traverse doesn't just take on traditional rivals such as the Pilot, the Highlander and the Mazda CX-9, but also luxury SUVs such as the Acura MDX and the Volvo XC90. The Traverse's extended range of trim levels remains a strength. Safety features such as blind-spot monitoring are available across most of the lineup, although adaptive cruise control - an increasingly common feature on rival three-row crossovers - is available only on the top-trim, near-luxury High Country model. Chevy's Teen Driver system - which lets you track the car, receive notifications if it's in an accident, and set limits on functions such as stereo volume - is also standard equipment. You can also get a larger 8-inch display this year.

An easy-to-use 7-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration, plus OnStar with a 4G connection and Wi-Fi, are standard across most of the Traverse lineup. There's also a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, but it's only available on the sport-styled RS trim. The engine pairs with a nine-speed transmission, a combination that helps achieve up to 21 mpg combined (18 city/27 highway). Today's lighter Traverse carries over the same V6 engine from the last model, but with an additional 29 horsepower (310 hp). For 2019, the Traverse returns with the same winning formula.
