2018 Chevrolet Traverse Review — Cars.com
Cars.com:
one of the biggest 3-row crossover SUVs
you can buy is the Chevrolet Traverse
and with its redesigned for the 2018
model year it's grown bigger still but
its dropped around 350 pounds from its
curb weight the result is a comfortable
roomy SUV that can fit the whole family
and it also offers enough tech features
to keep them all entertained the
traverses exterior styling mixes new and
familiar chevrolet styling cues but the
overall look is decidedly more
truck-like than its predecessor it gets
the SUV version of Chevrolet's twin port
grille up front and that's flanked by
high-intensity discharge headlights and
LED daytime running lights in this 3lt
trim level the wheelbase grows two
inches for a total length of nearly a
hundred and twenty-one inches and what
you get with this long wheelbase are
these big rear doors that offer good
access to the second and the third rows
of seats one of the other styling
changes on the Traverse is this new C
pillar shape which takes after the one
on the Chevrolet Tahoe SUV the interior
styling is new too in the dashboard
design now has a more upscale look at
its center is this available eight inch
touchscreen multimedia system the system
supports apple carplay and android auto
smartphone connectivity and it also does
an unexpected trick if you press this
button here the screen will motor up to
reveal a hidden storage compartment
behind it that includes a USB port
that's good for storing things you want
to keep out of sight like maybe your
phone or wallet besides the one USB port
in the hidden storage compartment our
Traverse has another six USB ports
scattered throughout the cabin in all
seating rows so everyone in the family
should be able to keep their devices
charged to keep those devices connected
to the Internet when on the go the
Traverse offers 4G LTE connectivity with
a Wi-Fi hotspot for up to seven devices
after an initial trial a data
subscription is required the Traverse is
big exterior dimensions payoff in the
cabin where first second and third row
passengers have ample space if only the
seats themselves were more comfortable
the front seats backrest have oddly
shaped cushions that pushed against my
upper back in the second row bucket
seating is too hard you never forgot how
big the old traverse was when driving it
it just felt bigger than a lot of its
competitors but even though the new
Traverse is even bigger than that model
it feels smaller when you're driving it
it's easier to maneuver and control the
driving experience is also refined the
SUV's long wheelbase contributes to the
composed comfortable ride that seems
perfect for a long road trip it's also
really quiet inside which contributes to
the serene driving experience power
comes from a 310 horsepower v6 or a
turbocharged four-cylinder rated at 255
horsepower our tester had the v6 and
both engines team with a 9 speed
automatic transmission the 9 speed does
a good job keeping the v6 in its power
band but it made some abrupt shifts
during our testing we've long told
shoppers who want a practical family
vehicle to consider a minivan because
they're hard to beat when it comes to
lugging around kids and all their stuff
but the new Traverse has closed the gap
considerably with much of the passenger
space of a minivan but with the style
and presence of an SUV that shoppers won
it just might be the best of both worlds

2019 Chevrolet Traverse Review: A Roomy 3-Row Family SUV
Edmunds:
SPEAKER 1: We've
been talking a lot
about vehicles that are good for
families with young children.
The Honda Pilot comes
to mind is one that's
particularly baby friendly.
But kids grow up, and
families with teens
have different car needs.
The 2019 Chevy Traverse
promises cargo space and a more
grown up approach
to the midsize SUV.
Will it do its chores without
being reminded seven times?
Let's find out.
First, a very
important question.
Does it do a burnout?
No.
A little bit.
All right.
The Traverse does a burnout
if you start on gravel.
Today's midsize SUV as are like
minivans in flannel shirts--
they're trying to
look more macho.
The Traverse was
redesigned in 2018,
and I think Chevy
did a good job.
It's boxy, kind of
aggressive, but not boring.
I recently reviewed
the Kia Sorento,
and in the comments
on that video,
I got scolded by Kia
Sorento for saying
that the Kia wasn't sporty.
That made me realize, OK,
sportiness is subjective.
I mean, it all depends on
what you were driving before.
So OK, mid-sized SUVs are
sporty in the same way
that bowling is sporty.
And now, you can all be mad
at me for dissing bowling.
But what I mean is it's not the
same as a Miata or a Corvette.
It's specifically designed
to be a softer ride,
and to be more gentle and quiet.
To me, that's not sporty.
That said, the Traverse has
a pretty zippy 3.6 liter
V8, making 310
horsepower, and backed
by a nine speed
automatic transmission.
It has noticeably
more passing power
than most of the
crossovers I've been in.
It's good the V6 is
such a solid engine,
because there really
aren't any others
that you can choose from.
Well, that's not true.
There is the RS trim, which
comes with a turbo charged
four cylinder, and it gets a
little bit better gas mileage.
But honestly, the V6
gets 20 miles per gallon,
and that's right on par with the
rest of the SUVs in this class.
On the highway around town, the
Traverse has an excellent ride.
It's very comfortable,
it's very predictable.
And it's very quiet.
For more spirit and driving like
on this curvy mountain road,
well, it's not the car
I would choose for fun,
but I feel perfectly safe.
Like I said, this
isn't what it's for.
Safety is obviously
a major consideration
when you're buying a vehicle to
haul your whole family around
in.
This Traverse, the High Country,
has everything you'd need.
Lane change assist,
and lane keep assist,
and pedestrian warning,
emergency braking,
adaptive cruise control.
All the things, but you
can't even option them up
on the lower trim models.
And I think when a lot of
the competitors like Honda
and Toyota and Kia are
offering that stuff as standard
all the way up and
down the trim levels,
Chevy ought to get
with the program.
Stop being so stingy.
The Traverse isn't
intended to be primarily
an off road or tow vehicle,
but it's capable of both
if you option for the all
wheel drive and tow package.
The controls for that
are in this mode dial
down here by the shifter.
And you can go two wheel drive,
all wheel drive, the off road
setting, and a
tow setting, which
I think changes shift points.
The dial is a different
approach to all wheel drive
than some of the competitors in
this sort of front wheel drive
midsize segment,
because usually, they
do it as a sort of
automatic all wheel drive.
Like, it just senses
if there's wheel slip,
and moves from front wheel
drive to all wheel drive
for as long as you need it.
But Chevy has sort of giving
you more control as the driver.
We tend to talk about
the infotainment systems
in these reviews while we're
parked, which is fine if you
think ahead, and are ready.
But a lot of times,
you're on the road,
and then you're like, oh
crap, did I plug my phone in.
And I don't want to
listen to this anymore.
And it's always
interesting to see
how hard it is to
figure out these systems
while you're driving, which
I guess you're not really
supposed to be doing, but
you know that you are.
Anyhow, it's easy
to plug a phone in.
It doesn't matter which
USB you plug into.
Apple CarPlay or Android Auto
will work from either one.
And everything in the screen
is reachable and visible
while you're driving
without having to look away
from the road for very long.
The steering wheel controls
aren't quite as easy.
I don't like the adaptive
cruise control at all.
I can barely figure
out how to turn it on
and I have a hard time
knowing when it's on.
It just doesn't show
very much in the dash.
It's great that the Traverse is
so big and roomy on the inside,
but it's also very
big on the outside.
And with some pretty
substantial blind spots,
that can make
parking intimidating.
Luckily, there's some
tech that makes it easier.
There's a rear view camera,
and a 360 degree camera
so you can see everything
that surrounds you.
There's also a pretty
nifty little camera here
in the rear view.
Mirror and rear sensor
to tell you when
you're getting close to stuff.
Let's see how it works.
Going backwards in
a straight line,
not going to hit anything today.
Parked.
Success.
OK, so Traverse is great
at backing into spots.
But what about
pulling into a spot?
You know, it's got
a pretty long hood,
and I can't really
see the end of it.
I can still use the
camera, that's great.
No parking sensors in the front?
What the what?
Earlier, I said
that the Traverse
was a really good choice for
parents with teenage children.
One of the reasons I said that
is the Traverse has something
called Teen Driver,
a monitoring system
for when your kid takes the car.
It's not like valet mode,
where it limits them
to first gear or 30 miles an
hour or something like that.
I mean, you can drive normally.
But it gives a report card at
the end that you can go over
with your kid, and talk about,
Oh, what was their top speed,
and did any of the
traction aides come on.
Was there any emergency braking.
And so it can kind
of help you help
them to improve their
driving without you
having to be in the car.
Oh, it also prevents them
from turning on the radio
until their seatbelts are on.
The Traverse has a
tough guy exterior,
but inside, it's
surprisingly soft.
The steering wheel
is pretty squishy,
it has a lot of leather
trim on most of the spots
that you're going to touch.
And overall, it's
pretty luxurious.
Now bear in mind, we're
in the High Country
trim, which is the top
of the line Traverse.
So as you go down
in the trim levels,
you won't have all
of this luxury.
Traverse come standard with
a seven inch touchscreen,
and we have the optional
eight inch here.
There are plenty of storage
cubbies and a nice big console.
And so many options
for charging a phone.
From front to back, I
counted 10 different ways
that you could plug-in and
charge a phone, or a tablet,
or something similar.
And that's including USB
ports 12 volts AC adapter.
There's even a hidden charging
spot behind the screen in case
you're a spy, and you have
like, a secret burner phone
or something.
I don't know.
The point is, there
are enough spots
for everyone in the car to
charge their phones and then
some.
Noticing all the
places to charge
your phone was sort of
what made me think, man,
this would be a
really good vehicle
for somebody with teenagers.
Because you know, little kids
might use the dropdown screen
or whatever, but big kids tend
to bring their entertainment
with them.
And I just feel like Chevy
is thinking about that.
You know, they have
a lot of leg room,
and there's a lot
of charging spots.
And there's sort of
a lot of privacy.
Like, they could sit all the
way in the back and sort of feel
like they weren't stuck
right up with mom and dad.
There's plenty of room in
the front of the Traverse.
There's a lot of space between
the driver and the passenger,
and between the
driver and the door.
The seats however, are
a little bit narrow.
And there's actually
a big gap here.
And if you are broader,
you might feel a little bit
cramped.
They're also very firm.
Which is fine.
Some people like a firm seat.
Me, if I'm driving in
a big SUV, I kind of
want to feel like I'm
in a barcalounger.
So I wouldn't mind if
they were a little softer.
They are heated though,
and that makes up for it.
One thing Chevy did really
well in the Traverses
give it this bright
airy feeling.
It's really nice and light
all the way from the front
to the back of the car.
I hate it when you
get into these SUV
and it's just all
black plastic and you
feel like you're in sort of
a terrible cave of misery.
The Traverse doesn't
feel like that.
It's really bright.
Some of that might be
from the twin sunroof
on this car, which is
standard on the High Country,
but you can option it on
some of the lower levels.
Hurray for second rows
with plenty of space.
There's foot room, there's knee
room, there's plenty of room
all around you.
It's nice back here.
Especially when you option
up to the captain's chairs.
Feel pretty important.
My same complaints
about the front seats
apply to the back seats
in that they aren't plush,
they're a little bit firm.
But they're totally comfortable.
I'd be happy to sit back here.
The best thing about the second
and third rows in the Traverse
is how easy it is to get
from one to the other.
I mean, you can just walk there,
like it's a freaking airplane.
Or if you're getting
in from outside,
the passenger seat
tilts forward.
You can even do it with
a child seat in there
and it's not a problem
there's plenty of space
to get into the back row.
Take the baby out first.
I've been in second rows
that don't have as much room
as the third row
in the Traverse.
I mean, it's pretty
great back here.
Plus, it has all of the
creature comforts-- cup holders,
USB ports, a vent
for climate control.
I mean, I wouldn't want to
be the kid in the middle
here on a long road trip, but
for around town, totally fine.
With 23 cubic feet
behind the third row,
and 98 cubic feet with
it down, plus the ability
to have just part of it
down the Traverse winds
the cargo space awards
offering more room
than the Honda Pilot, Toyota
Highlander, or Ford Explorer.
Bonus points for how easy it is
to put the seats down and bring
them up again.
Bonus, bonus points for bonus
storage under the floor.
Obviously, I don't play the
cello, but maybe your kid does.
Or maybe you find and refinish
antiques on the weekend.
Whether it's for your growing
family or your outsize hobbies,
the Chevy Traverse is
big on interior space.
It's not just big, it's useful.
And isn't that the whole
point of a midsize SUV?

Chevy Traverse Third Row Seating - Mom Tested & Approved | Jim Trenary
Jim Trenary Chevrolet:
What's up everybody? Today we're at Jim
Trenary Chevrolet in O'Fallon Missouri
checking out the 2019 Chevrolet Traverse,
most importantly understanding the
benefits and the practicality of the 3rd
row seating. A lot of folks seem to think
that you need to get a Tahoe or a
Suburban to have the extra space and the
extra cargo room in an SUV, but contrary
to popular belief, the Traverse actually
is a great option. I'm gonna go ahead and
send it over to Julie since she is a
working mom with three kids who might
have a different perspective than myself.
With the addition of our third child, my
husband and I knew it was time to get a
bigger vehicle. We had heard a little bit
about third row SUVs, but there's just
not a lot of information. We had three
kids and three car seats and we were just
not sure where to start. So we began with
online research, but we really needed to
be there to test drive, to get in, making
sure all our seats were going to fit.
I literally took a tape measure with me to
the dealership, along with my car seats,
and I'm sure they thought I was crazy, but, it was so worth it to me; like it was
important for me to be able to get my
seats into the car, and everybody fits
safely, and there was plenty of legroom.
So if you're a parent like me, cargo
space is a huge deal; you've got
strollers, you have pack-and-plays, you
have luggage. The Chevy Traverse more
than met these needs. One of my favorite
features is the 40-60 backseat split. We're able to put our oldest child in
the backseat, and there's plenty of room--hockey gear, baseball gear, all the
necessities for the day. So if you find
yourself in a similar situation I hope
you know that the Chevy Traverse is a
great family vehicle. I hope you get to
spend less time in a showroom and more
time with your family.
To see the spacious third row seating of
the 2019 Chevrolet Traverse for yourself
or any other vehicles that we do have, you can come visit us in O'Fallon
Missouri or go to our website

2018 Chevrolet Traverse - It’s longer, sleeker, and packed with technology | ZUBER CAR
Vehicle:
The 2018 Chevrolet Traverse is an enormous
intensify in conditions of styling, style,
interior accommodations, and powertrains.
The Traverse certainly needed these advancements
and it looks like Chevy knocked that one in
the fence.
We must reserve final view until we get when
driving, but from the car show floor within
Detroit, the all-new Traverse is successful.
Of course, it'll be the car-buying general
public that gets the last say.
Unless something severe happens with gas prices,
the crossover and SUV trend will grow over
another couple of years.
The Traverse will definitely be a major player
for GM in the forex market.
What do you think about the 2018 Chevrolet
Traverse?
Let us know in the comments below!
2018 Chevrolet Traverse - Review and Road Test
Kelley Blue Book:
the second generation Chevrolet Traverse
it's a three row midsize SUV that we
really like propelling our positive
vibes is a deeply functional interior
let's start somewhere boring door
storage the front rear doors are loaded
with bins and nooks galore though I'm
not quite sure what defines a bin versus
a nook beyond the aforementioned door
nooks smaller items can be stowed in the
sizeable center console in this spot
below the second row climate controls or
in a handy USB adjacent bin beneath the
center stack aside from slight pressure
in the upper back region the front seats
are superbly comfortable and as the
driver you'll enjoy a highly
customizable driving position supported
by well-placed arm rests just know drive
like a maniac and you'll wish for more
lateral support Headroom is
unsurprisingly excellent up front but
that excellence extends rearward as well
Tim is six foot something and look his
head is not mashed against the headliner
nobody cares also he's British and too
polite to complain about legroom so I'm
going to proactively slide and angle my
seats slightly forward. Thank you. Sorry I was uncomfortable. It's fine.
with less diplomatic occupants rear-seat
nice space could be tight but as
consolation third row dwellers are
gifted a wealth of cupholders decent
foot space under the second row and two
USB outlets on that note the Traverse
comes with USB ports in all three rows
that plus an optional three prong outlet
means well-charged devices ensuring your
family never has to, you know, speak
where material quality is concerned the
Traverse leaves room for its Buick
Enclave sibling to fancy things up even
so GM's mainstream offering incorporates
some soft materials and in many places
uses a soft coating to spruce up hard
plastics in other places it doesn't with
the second and third row stowed Traverse
owners have a substantial ninety eight
point two cubic feet to fill raised
those seats and twenty three cubic feet
of dedicated cargo space remains
supplemented by an additional 3.2 cubic
foot underfloor storage hold while
prattling on about the traverses many
fine qualities we should reserve time to
talk about how it drives and how it
drives is lovely the suspension
skillfully absorbs bumps while keeping
the chassis in check when cornering and
when you pick up the pace interior noise
is mostly quashed except for some
whistling in this region, which you would
hear if I didn't have to stop for that
stoplight
the man says I have to stop
providing propulsion is a mighty 3.6
liter v6 that tows up to 5,000 pounds
and moves the Traverse with real
authority when asked maybe more
impressive is the standard 9 speed
automatic it's a shining star of a
transmission that delivers virtually
seamless transparent shifts and when you
introduce the accelerator to the carpet
acceleration and downshifts occur without
delay for its size the Traverse is
fairly efficient aided by an
inconspicuous but undefeatable automatic
engine start/stop system that saves fuel
when the vehicle is motionless if you
don't mind giving up a few mpg the
optional all-wheel drive system adds
traction inslippery conditions a
turbocharged four-cylinder engine is
also available but only in the sporty
Traverse RS producing less horsepower
more torque and better city fuel economy
than the v6 the real trick with a
relatively large SUV is to hide its
girth the Traverse does just that with
light and easy steering and a tight
turning circle that make it a confident
parking tool parked on the flipside
visibility over your right shoulder is
terrible especially since depending on
where the seats are the right second row
headrest completely blocks the side
window in my experience if you can see
what's in the adjacent Lane lane changes
are less stressful
helping address those visibility
concerns our higher trim features like
blind spot monitoring a 360 degree
camera system rear cross-traffic alert
and rear but not front parking sensors
rounding out the option roster are
indulgences like wireless phone charging
a hands-free tailgate heated and
ventilated front seats leather and a
heated steering wheel choose the fancy
high country trim with its power folding
seats and traction enhancing dual clutch
rear differential and you can spend
nearly fifty three thousand dollars it's
worth mentioning that adaptive cruise
control is only offered on the high
country trim while many competitive SUVs
offer similar technology at a lower
price point and if you need eight seats
you're stuck with the low end L & LS
trims as higher Traverse trims only come
with seven in basic not quite $31,000
form the Traverse comes surprisingly
well equipped with keyless entry and
push-button start three-zone automatic
climate control a wide-angle backup
camera a smart slide 2nd row seat for
easy third row access and 7 airbags
including a center airbag that deploys
from the inboard side of the driver's
seat the standard infotainment system is
a 7-inch unit featuring apple carplay
and android auto but buyers can also
upgrade to an 8 inch system with a
lockable storage area behind the screen
hiding the traverses elusive seventh USB
port either way the screen is decently
sized placed within reach and the menus
are a cinch to navigate while shopping 3
row midsize SUVs it's always smart to
investigate the alternatives some
standouts include the roomy VW Atlas
the practical Toyota Highlander the
thoughtfully crafted Honda Pilot and the
strong selling Ford Explorer
pleasant to drive and
competitively-priced with lots of cargo
space and room for up to 8 passengers
the Chevrolet Traverse is fantastically
suited for family duty despite some
formidable competition the Traverse is a
midsize SUV that deserves your attention

for this gas card, so let's
take a closer look at this
2020 Chevy Traverse
that we just got in here
at Deien Chevrolet.
(dramatic piano music)
All right so here's a look
at this 2020 Chevy Traverse,
this is a premier model with
the redline special edition,
with the redline special edition you get
blacked out bow ties,
blacked out front end,
you get the twenty inch blacked out rims
with the red accents, all
the badging and everything
for the Traverse is blacked
out with a red outline as well.
This one has a 3.6 liter V6 motor in it,
get you about 27 on the highway and around
18 in a city with an average
of about 21 as far as the
miles per gallon, estimated,
depends how you drive it.
The vehicle does come with a three year,
36 bumper to bumper warranty, 5 year,
60,000 powertrain warranty, and then
Deien's own lifetime powertrain warranty.
This is just gonna be a quick
walk around of this vehicle,
if you're interested in this vehicle,
feel free to hit me up, all my
contact information is below
in the link of the description.
We do price our vehicles
that sell. I do ship
vehicles across the country
or I can order one exactly like this
and have it drop shipped
to a dealership near you
so all you have to do is go in
and sign and do the paperwork
and we take care of everything beforehand.
So, once again let's take a closer look
at the interior of this vehicle.
All right so you do get a proximity lock,
it unlocks so you just
walk up, hit this button
right here, it'll lock
and unlock the vehicle.
Here's a look at the interior.
You do get the power windows, power locks,
and then also you can program
the seat adjustments there.
You have the power
windows, you do have the
selectable height as far
as the rear lift gate.
Also it does have the
Bose premium sound system.
This one does have the
all weather floor mats,
kind of like the Weather Tech
as far as in the vehicle.
And then here is just a quick
kind of look at the interior.
I'll jump in and give you a more in-depth
look at this in a second.
Both seats are power and they
both are heated and vented
as far as on the driver's
seat and passenger's seat,
front passengers. Then
here's a look in the back,
you do have the power
windows of course back here,
second row you do get the heated seats
along with the two USB ports
that you can charge and
120 volt power outlet right down in here.
And then, like I said it
does have the all weather
floor mats. It does have the
two captain's chairs here.
And then here's a look in the
third row here real quick.
And then with the redline
edition it does come with the
part of that package, you
do get the power sunroof
in the front along with a
second row skylight as well.
Also something I always show
off on third row vehicles
is how easy it is to get
into the third row from the
passenger's side, so if you're
picking up kids or grandkids
from school that you
always pick them up on the
passenger's side. So the Traverse
has a really cool feature,
basically you pull down
on this button right here,
it's real simple and it
slides all the way forward
and you can actually have a
front-facing car seat there
and it doesn't hinder on
how far the seat moves up
but you have quite a bit of
room as far as getting into
the third row, so it makes
it really nice plus the seats
are adjustable as well
so if you do have adults
or bigger kids or anybody
sitting in the back
it does make it a lot
more comfortable of a ride
for them in the back in
the third row as well.
All right like I said
you do get keyless entry
with the remote start
and then you can also
hit the rear hatch release
by hitting that button twice
but on the premium
models you also get this,
the hand's free so you
see that there's a little
projection of a bow tie right there
that just let's you know
exactly where you need to kick
to open that up. So all you
have to do is just walk up
kick your foot underneath
there, so if you have your
hands full and then the rear
hatch will basically open up
from there and then the
seats do fold down of course,
this one like I said has the
all weather and it's also got
the cargo mat back here to kind
of keep everything protected
and then down here you do have
a little storage department
down there and there's
probably tires underneath that
and then you do have a
12 volt outlet over here
plus they do make a privacy shield as well
plus I know kids and parents
or adults and everything,
there's also a USB charging
port in the back, too,
on both sides so if you
need to charge your phone
or anything like that you have the ability
and then basically you just
hit this button right here
and it'll close it.
And then it also does have
the trailering capabilities,
so there's actually a
hitch underneath here
so basically there's two
wingnuts underneath here
and that pops out and then
your hitch is exposed there.
All right and here's a little
quick look at the interior,
you do have cruise control
with a huge steering wheel
plus your collision alert
there, it does have the
auto high beam so it'll
automatically turn your
high beams on and off
whenever you come into town or
come meet with a vehicle at night.
Here's a look at the gauges,
like I said it does have
the push button start right
there so you just have to
have the key fob on you or in your purse
and then here's a look at
the Chevy MyLink radio system
does have AM/FM and
satellite radio plus you can
Bluetooth music, it does
have navigation both into
the vehicle itself and then
you can use Android Auto
or Apple CarPlay as well, it
does have the Wi-Fi Hotspot
where you can hook up to
eight different devices
or seven different
devices, one of the two,
and then there is a little
storage compartment back here
and then this one does
have the rear camera mirror
so basically this turns
into a camera so there's,
it's an unobstructed
view as far as behind you
but if it gets to be too
much you can pop that down
and get a regular rear view mirror there.
And then you do have the
heated and vented seats,
you do your climate controls,
this one does have the
wireless charging pad
here, you got two USB ports
plus an auxiliary input
and a SD card and a 12 volt
outlet there, then down here
you do have your drive modes
so basically just if you have
something hooked up as far as
trailer or the regular
drive mode or snow mode
and then your lane keep
assist and then also your
touch control button here and
your electronic parking break
there, so that's just a kind
of a quick walk around of
the interior of the vehicle
and it also does have the
360 degree backup camera with
a bunch of different backup
or camera views, as well,
plus it also has a front
facing camera as well
which is nice if you need
to pull in to a certain spot
in your garage or something like that,
but it does give you a 360
degree camera angle as well,
which is definitely really, really cool
and keeps everybody safe so
if something's coming around
that's the side or anything like that.
And then you do have the blind zone and
then the cross traffic
alert warning as well.
All right once again

let you know later on in this
video how you can get entered
into the contest for this gas
card.
So, let's take a look at this
2020 Chevy Traverse Redline
Edition.
(soft piano music)
All right, so here's a look
at this 2020 Chevy Traverse,
Redline edition.
We just got this vehicle in,
2020's are starting to ship now
to the dealerships, not much
really changed on the vehicles
from the 2019 to the 2020,
they just kinda changed some of
the packages and stuff, within
the vehicle itself. Most of
the same features are still all
available on the 2020's that
were available on the 2020's.
This one is a silver ice
metallic color, so the redline
edition is basically a
premiere model with the special
redline package, where you get
the blacked out, aluminum, 20
- Inch rims, with the red
accents, the badging as you can
kinda see, is blacked out, with
the red outline as well, and
then all of the bumpers and
stuff is all blacked out as well
black bow ties, and then the
front grill is blacked out with
the black bow tie as well, so,
the Redline edition is avail-
able in silver, black, white,
and also in the iridescent
pearl white as well.
This does have a 3.6 liter V6
motor in it, gets you about 27
on the highway and around 18 in the city.
We do price our vehicles to
sell here, this is just going to
be a quick walk-around on
this vehicle, so if you're
interested, or want to learn
more, feel free to hit me up,
all my contact information is
a link in the description in
this video, so shoot me a
email or shoot me a text, and I
can either schedule a time for
you to come in and check it
out, or I can schedule a time
for you to send you some more
information, and a little
more in-depth look at this
vehicle.
This vehicle does come with
a three year, 36, bumper to
bumper warranty, along with
a five year 60,000 powertrain
warranty, and then Deien's
own lifetime powertrain
warranty, as well.
So, let's take a look at
the interior of the vehicle.
All right, so also on the
Redline edition, you do get the
blacked painted mirrors, and
then also the handles and stuff
are all painted black as
well, it does have the keyless
entry with remote start, and
then also your keyless rear
hatch release as well, it
does have a proximity lock and
unlock so you just walk, hit
this button right here, and you
can lock and unlock the vehicle,
then here's a look on the
interior, this is the jet-black
interior, and then you do
have the power windows, power
locks, you can program the
seat adjustments there, you
got your power mirrors there,
you do have a selectable height
as far as the rear lift gate
,it does have the Bose stereo
system in it, this one, we did
put the all-weather floor
mats in it, both driver and
passenger seats are power, and
heated and vented, and then
you do have the heated steering
wheel, and then here's just
kind of a quick look at the
interior of the vehicle.
All right, here's a look in
the back, you still get the
power windows back here, like
I said you do get the all-
weather floor mats, does have
the captain's chairs there,
the second row is heated and
you do have two USB ports plus
the 120 volt power outlet, and
you have the rear AC controls
, and here's a look in the third row.
Then with the Redline package
you do get the power sun roof,
and then also the second
row skylight is part of that
package as well.
All right, so something I like
to point out whenever I do a
review on a third row vehicle,
is how easy it is to get into
the third row, so, the Traverse
on the passengers side, they
make this seat move furthest
up so that they know that
whenever you pick up kids you
always pick them up on the
passenger's side, so they don't
walk out in traffic, so you
grab this handle right here,
and it slides up, and basically
you still have enough room in
there if you do need to have a
front facing car seat, but
gives you quite a bit of room to
get into that third row, and
the seats do move forward and
back as well, as far as for
positioning, so you can have
quite a bit of room in that
third row as well, even for
adults.
All right, like I said, it does
have the keyless rear hatch
release, as well, but with
the premiere models you do get
that hands-free lift gate,
so as you can see there's a
little bow tie right here,
that kinda lights up on the
floor, it projects down, so
let's you know exactly where you
need to kick, and basically if
you have your hands full you
can basically unlock it, so
you just walk up, put your foot
underneath there, it trips that
sensor, and then it opens up
the rear lift gate.
Then here's a look in the back,
it does have the all-weather
floor mats back here to protect
the back as well, then the
seats of course do fold down,
and then you do have the
compartment underneath here,
and then your spare tire is up
underneath there, and then
you do have the 12 volt outlet
over there, some tie-down
slots, as well, and then also in
the third row there is USB
ports on both sides, so you have
the option of charging, which
you know kids love to charge
their stuff, and even adults,
it's a good way to charge your
phone or something if you're on a trip.
Then, it does have the power,
just hit that button right
here, and then it'll close on its own!
All right and here's a quick
look at the interior of the
vehicle, it does have the
heated steering wheel, cruise
control, and then also your
collision alert, there.
It does also have the auto
high beams feature, so you can
set that and basically it'll
automatically turn your high
beams on and off when you're
driving, which is definitely
kinda nice.
You've got the gauges, you
got your driver's information
controls, and then your
Bluetooth controls there, it does
have the push button start
there, has the Chevy Mylink radio
system, AM/FM, and silent
radio, it does have phone and
Bluetooth capabilities, it does
have the built in navigation
so you can have navigation
actually built into it, or you
can actually use Andriod auto
or Apple CarPlay, and use
your Google maps, or whatever
mapping service you use on
your phone.
It does have the wifi hotspot
as well, it does have this
little compartment back here,
too, and then, they did get
rid of the USB port back here,
so that is gone on the 2020
models, and it does have a backup camera.
So you've got a 360 degree,
birds-eye view, plus your rear
backup camera, and then some
different camera, your camera
angles, and it also has a
front facing camera as well, so
if you need to pull up to
something close in the garage,
then you have that ability.
It also has the rear camera
mirror, rear view mirror, also
this is actually using the
camera in the back, so it's
unobstructed view as far as
behind you, if it's too much you
can always flip it down and do
the regular rear view mirror
there, but it does have the
rear view camera mirror option
as well.
Then down here you do have your
heat elemented seats, duals
on, and then you can also control
your rear climate controls
through the touch screen.
It does have the wireless
charging pad down here, you got
two USB ports, and AUX in, and
an SD card slot there, plus
you got your 12 volt outlet
there, and then over here you do
have your drive modes, and
then inside here there's no USB
ports in the center console
or anything like that.
All right, once again this
is Chevy Dave here from Deien
Chevrolet, this was just a
quick walk around on this brand
new, 2020 Chevy Traverse
Redline edition, this vehicle is

4K Review: 2018 Chevrolet Traverse Quick Drive | Consumer Reports
Consumer Reports:
After about a decade
out on the road,
Chevrolet has finally
redesigned its large three row
SUV the Traverse.
That first generation model was
well liked and CR recommended,
but its age was showing.
The new car boasts better
refinement, fuel efficiency,
packaging, and connectivity.
So to find out just how much
the new Traverse has improved,
we bought one for ourselves.
The 2018 Traverse is offered
with two powertrains.
A 310 horsepower V6 plus a 255
horsepower turbo four cylinder
that will come later.
With a hefty curb weight
of around 4500 pounds,
most are going to want that V6.
Combined with a new nine
speed automatic transmission,
the EPA rates the
V6 all wheel drive
model at 20 miles
per gallon combined.
A three MPG improvement
over the outgoing vehicle.
This is a big well equipped SUV,
especially in the premier trim
we purchased.
Access to the airy cabin
is easy with large doors
and a reasonable step up height.
The front seats are
wide and accommodating,
and there's ample room for
the driver to spread out.
Wide well placed arm rests
will help on those long days
in the saddle too.
But with an as tested
price of nearly $50,000,
just two way lumbar
for the driver's seat
and a manual sunshade
seem lacking.
Hop into the second
row and you'll
find enough space for
adults to truly stretch
out and get comfy.
Rear heated seats, climate
controls, and ceiling vents
adds to the Traverse's
minivan like vibe.
Headroom is only
adequate though,
as the sunroof
compromises some space.
That second row seat
can slide fore and aft
making more room for the
third row when needed.
In seven seat configuration,
the second row captain's chairs
make a handy path to
the way back seats.
There's enough headroom
for average sized adults,
but the foot space
is a bit tight.
The Traverse has pretty
good outward visibility
thanks to its tall side windows.
However, the over
the shoulder view
is limited by
thick rear pillars.
Backing up is aided by both rear
view and optional surround view
cameras.
And if that's not
enough cameras for you,
the optional rear camera mirror
gives you a wide angle view
to help with rear visibility
instead of a traditional mirror
view.
You can turn it off if
it becomes distracting.
The familiar MyLink
Infotainment system
takes center stage up front with
its colorful intuitive 8 inch
screen, which is retractable
and reveals a handy hideaway bin
behind it.
The Android Auto and Apple
CarPlay compatibility
are standard enabling seamless
smartphone integration.
Adding to the
connectivity, there
are USB ports in every
row along with a 110 volt
outlet and a built in Wi-Fi
hotspot with a free trial
period.
Out on the road, the Traverse
benefits from a quiet cabin
and immediately feels
well mannered and easy
to drive in spite
of its hulking size.
The V6 is a smooth operator
feeling unstressed around town,
yet capable of making brisk
passing maneuvers when needed.
The new nine speed
automatic shifts smoothly,
and thankfully uses a
traditional gear selector
layout.
Even though steering
is on the light side,
the Traverse corners well
for a vehicle of this size.
The ride is compliant soaking
up most impacts nicely
while still feeling
connected and controlled.
Unfortunately forward collision
warning and automatic emergency
braking are only available
on the top trims.
The fact that these important
safety features aren't standard
on all Traverse models
is a notable omission
in an all new family vehicle.
Our premier test vehicle also
has a blind spot warning,
and rear cross-traffic warning,
as well as the rear seat
reminder.
This feature gives a visual
reminder and audible alert
to check the rear seat
to prevent a child
or pet from being left behind.
We'll learn more
about the new Traverse
as we rack up our
break in miles.
Keep an eye out
for full road test
results to see how it measures
up against other competitors.

2018 Chevrolet Traverse Redline Edition Auto Show Test Drive - Nexccelerator
Nexccelerator:
Hello there everyone, this is Michael from
Nexccelerator here,
and welcome to another Auto Show Test Drive.
And the vehicle that I will be test driving
today,
will be the all-new redesigned,
2018 Chevrolet Traverse.
And the Traverse has recieved a complete makeover
to give itself a more competitive edge in
the Mid-Size Crossover SUV Segment.
But does the Redline Edition of the all-new
Traverse have what it takes to
be very competitive?
Let's get into the test drive, and see what
it's like
to drive the all-new Chevrolet Traverse.
All righty.
Now what is your name?
Michael.
Michael. My name's Kelly. Nice to meet you.
Kelly.
Pleasure to meet you as well.
And how has your day been so far?
It's been great.
How about yours?
I have no reason to complain.
So I appreciate you asking.
All righty.
So if you're nice and adjusted,
or feel free to adjust your seat
or your mirrors.
Just make sure your nice and acclamated.
Hmm Hmm.
So you can bring your seat
forward, back, up, down
with that one that you're actually utilizing
right now.
The second one's going to be for your back
and the third one's going to be for you lumber.
Ok.
So just toggle it right there, on that left side.
Unless if it's good.
All right so take it nice and easy.
Not hitting anyone or anything.
Wait wait wait wait. [Assuming]
So you're going to go via right
and just go all the way out
once it's safe.
All right and then we'll just keep on going.
Ok.
Keep on going to your left side.
All the way out towards the gate.
And then as you get closer to the gate,
it'll raise up,
and we'll be able to exit out
going via your right
and then we'll make a left onto the street.
Ok.
All righty so we are in our 2018 Traverse.
The Traverse actually comes with two different
engine sizes.
You can get it in a 2.0L 4 cylinder turbocharged,
available in the RS model.
That one isn't out yet however,
But the one that is out and what we're in
right now
is a 3.6L V6 engine.
9 Speed Automatic Transmission.
So it has 310hp.
266lbs of torque.
So lots of get up and go for it's size.
Very amazing.
It is avaliable in all wheel drive
as well as front wheel drive.
So I'll give you the fuel economy on both.
Ok.
So were making that left.
Stay in your left lane
and go straight all the way to South Alamo.
Ok.
Dun Dun Dun.
How long do you think it's going
to take to get out of here?
That's a great question.
I'm gonna guess two years.
Ok.
Yeah and I'll just be like,
"Oh hey, more time in the vehicle for us right?"
This is true.
Yep.
No complaining here in this joint.
So right after that Mustang,
we'll go and stay on that left side
going towards South Alamo.
Ok.
That's perfect.
And we'll stay right in this lane,
going straight.
Ok.
So for your fuel economy for your All-Wheel
Drive
you're looking at 17 in the city and 25 on
the highway.
If you were to get it in your front-wheel
drive,
and this actually has your front-wheel drive,
you're looking at 18 in the city and 27 on
the highway.
It also has your tri-climate zone.
So with your tri-climate,
you're temperature doesn't have to be the
same as mine.
You can have a different temperature in the
back as well.
And that second area,
where your second row seats are,
you actually do have your controls there.
So you can change the temperatures there.
You also have vents going all the way towards
the third row.
Up here,
you can also control your rear climate control
up here as well.
So you can actually lock someone out in case
if they were like messing around with it
and things of that nature.
Ok.
It also does have your 4G LTE
so you can use your vehicle as a Wi-Fi HotSpot.
It also has your Android Auto as well
as well as your Apple CarPlay compatibility
so those apps can be projected onto your 8-inch
touchscreen.
Now behind your screen,
it actually does lift up,
giving you a little bit of storage
you can actually lock it
and you have a USB Port hiding back there as well.
Hmm Hmm.
You'll be able to lock it in your valet mode
so no one will have access to it via a PIN.
Very Secure.
Yeah.
In your vehicle.
You know what they say,
that just makes life easy on everybody.
Exactly.
Counting the driver itself as well.
Exactly.
And I will in fact make a pretty quick note
here
that I'm really impressed with the all-new
Traverse so far.
And from pretty much everything to like the
way the interior looks,
I can honestly tell that Chevrolet put quite
a bunch of thought
into putting it together very well.
And everything is really easy, well-labeled,
legible,
and obiviously pretty easy to read overall.
And even the Chevrolet MyLink System is without
a doubt
pretty simple to read as well.
So honestly, there's really a lot of good
things going for the SUV.
And honestly, I can really see that they really
put a lot of stuff
with a lot of thought into making sure to
having the customer
in mind at the end of the day.
Which is something that I really love about
it.
And I mean, not just like the infotainment
system
and the gauge cluster itself,
but visiblity wise it's really easy to see
out of it.
And even pretty much, as I'm driving it right
now,
I can really see good out of here.
And visiblity is like really huge
And honestly, whether you're looking left,
right,
or even behind you,...
Not right now [Assuming]. There's a red car coming.
Ok.
And after the Dodge,
we can go.
Ok.
Perfect.
And then just stay in that left lane.
Keep on going straight down to South Alamo.
Once we pass all the vehicles
then we'll be going to your left
We'll make a left on South Alamo
then a left onto East Market Street.
Ok.
So it also does have your 2 USB Ports per
row.
It also does have your auxiliary port,
DC Port, and that 2nd row you even have
a three-prong charger as well.
Ok.
It also does have your rear vision camera.
So you actually have a camera perspective
of what's behind you with no obstructions.
So typically if you have people in the car,
you're looking for heads,
or you're looking,...
If you have things in the car
then you're trying to look through boxes
or whatever you have in there.
So now you actually have a camera perspective
on the outside of the vehicle.
So no obstructions which is great.
That's nice.
I've actually got to say that
this is probably one of the niftiest features
I've actually ever seen in a person
for the first time in a vehicle in my life.
So honestly I really like it.
And it just really goes to show that
Chevy really took an extra mile
and took a step up to make the Traverse
even a much better SUV to drive than what
it once was
from the previous gen.
Got to really give them excellent props to
them
for really putting safety first
and for even trying to implement all of this
amazing technology into the cabin.
Turn lane.
Ok.
And honestly there's just really nothing you
can really go wrong with it.
Cause I mean for like what you would pay for,
and getting this many safety features,
honestly it's like a huge amount of bang for
the buck
like with no doubt.
Hmm Hmm.
I agree.
And then it can be at any speed.
So it can stay on for your entire drive.
And if it ever becomes distractive,
like so you ever see a pretty Camaro or Corvette
you just flip it
and then "Boom!" Regular mirror.
But you can have it on the entire time which
is nice.
Ohh Ok.
It also has your avaliable heated and cool
seats
for your front driver, passenger,
your heated 2nd row.
That second row, the seats can actually slide
forward, back.
It actually reclines a little bit
so you have a more of a,...
for those long journeys. [Horn Honking]
And it also tilts forward and slides up. [Horn Honking]
Ok.
So you have easy access into that third row.
All right.
For our lower trim levels you can also
get a bench seat on that second row.
On our higher trim levels you'll get your
captains chair.
And this one is a Premier
so it has lots of the upgraded features.
But if you want it even a step further
we also have the High Country
so you can get it with the stiching and the
Headrest
that says "High Country."
You can get it with that beautiful ash brown
with the suede,...
Oh Sorry. [Horn Honking]
(Slow-Motion)
with the suede,...
(Slow-Motion)
Oh Sorry. [Horn Honking]
Sorry about that they just did something they
weren't supposed to do.
So. Didn't mean to interrupt you there.
You're completely fine.
It also does have a 360 camera.
And since were stopped can I show that to
you?
Sure.
So you have a camera in the front, back
as well as on your side mirrors.
[Walkie Talkie]: Equinox?
So as you're,...
you can actually see all around the vehicle.
So if there's anything comes within your camera
you'll be able to see it.
And then you'll be able to flip,...
Get into your left lane.
We'll make a left at the light.
So if anything comes within your cameras
you'll be able to see it.
So that's my hand right there.
Ok.
But you'll be able to use your front camera,
your back camera.
You can take out the guideance lines if you
want to.
And it also does articulate as you move the
steering wheel.
Stay on the left hand side.
And we'll be going to make left onto Bowie.
Ok.
So one lane over.
And then at Bowie we'll be making a left.
And we'll take it all the way to East Houston
Street and then make a right.
And I'll remind you. No worries.
Ok.
So you can actually also tow up to 5000 pounds
in here as well.
So great function as well.
It also does have your wireless F1 charging
pad available.
So if you have an Android Device, if it's
a 6 or newer
you'll can place it on there once it fits.
And if the NFC feature is on it should be
able to charge.
Now if you have an Apple Device there's specifically
a case that you'll put on it in so that you'll be able to charge.
I believe the 8's are actually compatable
though.
The newer iPhone 8's are actually compatable.
So stay in this lane and when we get to that
light,
that will be Bowie, we'll be making a left.
And then get into your right lane so we'll
go straight.
Ok.
So this Traverse actually,...
It's in our Premier, more of the upgraded
features
and it also does have the Redline package
on here.
So with the Redline, you have your black grill.
You have your 20 inch wheels.
It also does have the red markings on there.
We had the name Traverse towards the side
where you'll
actually see that it actually has that red
outline.
Giving it a nice sporty look.
It also does have your black bowtie on the
front as well.
As well as on the back as well.
So appearance wise,
it's nice and sporty.
Very cool.
And honestly I got to say the appearance package
just really makes it that much sexier
in a way where it really stand outs
to give it more of a sporty characteristic
to it.
And honestly it's like for those who really
want a Traverse
with a really bold attitude to it,
it's really something that no can go wrong
with for sure.
Right on.
It also does have your Blind Spot Monitoring.
It also does have your Forward Collision Alert.
It also does have your Low Speed Automatic
Braking
to just to name a few of the safety features
as well.
It also does have your Head Adjustable Rear
Lift Gate.
So you can open it three-quarters of the way
or all the way open.
And once you make that left just get into
your right lane and go straight.
Ok.
Perfect.
And then three lights streets down that will
be Houston Street.
You'll be make a right onto East Houston Street.
Ok.
And one of the nicest things I really like
about the Traverse
is that whenever your at a complete stop
that the Auto Stop Start Function comes into
play
where it shuts off the engine to where you're
not using it
and it's pretty much not only to save the
gas mileage,
but I know more importantly to even save excessive
wear and tear on the engine.
Which is something that I really like about
it.
Right on.
Also with your Rear Lift Gate,
you can actually open it via hands free.
So you can do it with your foot.
You can also open it and close with your key
fob
as well as the button on your driver side
door.
Ok.
So just keep going straight all the way to
East Houston
and then we'll make a right.
All right.
And then after we make that right
we're going to go two lights down
and make another right.
Ok.
Any questions about the vehicle so far?
Not to my knowledge.
But I will make another note though
that the ride quality of the Traverse
really is outstanding without a doubt.
And not just that, but even the turning radius
which is, even at a street like this one right
here,
it can really handle it without a single issue.
Which is absolutely outstanding to me
because if you're going to invest money
into an SUV that can really do a lot for what
you pay for
I really think that having an excellent turning
radius
really should be a no brainer.
And I really believe that Chevrolet just hit
it
right on the point right there
on making the Traverse really competitive
in that area.
Which is outstanding.
And right over here?
Yep.
Make your right on the light.
Awesome.
And then were going to come across a stop
sign.
And then were going to keep on going straight.
Then make a left.
Ok.
Excuse me.
So with your Dual Skyscape this front portion
actually opens up.
So you can actually tilt it as well as slide
it back.
And then you also do also have the one in
the back as well.
That one actually is for viewing out of.
It doesn't slide or anything, or tilt.
Ok.
But it's good because it lets the light in
for people in the back.
Oh absolutely.
And I mean it's like, in this day and age,
you really got to have something to offer
the passengers too.
And I just know that having that kind of roof
will really at least give passengers something
to really smile about for sure.
Yeah.
Because I mean if you don't like the darkness
to be there all the time
then you can always try to open it up with
as much light as possible.
And I really do believe that the Traverse really
is able to offer the best of both worlds.
Like easily and without having to really put
a lot thought into how much,...
At least how many times you want daylight
to come in for a couple of hours
or for a few minutes.
Same way with having it closed and vise versa.
Right on. Right on.
And another thing I will make a note on like
to add onto the ride quality,
it's not only really comfortable,
but it really does an excellent job
of really hiding the road noise
and makes it for a really smooth sailing SUV.
So I know mean, I really like the way that
Chevy
really had tuned it to really ride comfortably.
Not only to tune it comfortably,
but they really did pretty well in making
sure that
the ride on an overall scale though for everybody
for the driver and passengers
including the people sitting in the third
row.
is top of the game and top notch.
And that's really something that I really
like about it.
Cool. Cool.
So so far what are you favorite features?
Obiviously, Chevrolet MyLink is in fact one
of the best
features that I've really like about it.
From the touch responsiveness and even to
that mirror right there which I can really
see
if anybody is trying to hit me or not.
Which I think is a really useful feature.
Especically for a city like this,
which I think is a beneficial feature
that a lot of people should consider
investing their money on for sure
if they were to get the Traverse.
But aside from those two things,
I really love the amount room that I have.
You know sitting down here and being able
to move seat to the desired height
and pretty much to like how much room I have
on that
and pretty much the length as well.
So it makes it easy to really move the seat
to where it suits you comfortably.
Right on.
And,...
And your steering wheel is like a little different
because you toggle right there on that left
side.
And I actually love the 10 and 2 grips right
here.
And in fact I know a lot of the other Chevy
products are gonna have it.
But in fact I really just love how the steering
wheel feels pretty much.
And I'm pretty sure a lot of Chevy products
are gonna really,...
[Walkie Talkie: Do you copy?]
Sorry.
No you're good.
But yeah I just really like the feel of the
steering wheel
and it just really gives you that really good
sense of feeling
to know that you can really, at least, depend
on it to really
help you really, at least, keep yourself in
control with the vehicle,
even in wet weather situations.
So that's really something that I really like
about it.
Right on.
So we'll make a right here.
And at the light we'll make another right.
Ok.
Again at the light we'll make a right.
Then you're going to get into your left lane.
Ok.
Dun Dun Dun.
Will they,... (referring to the bus from behind)
Is there a game supposed to happening around
6:00?
Yeah somewhere around 6:00.
And I'm guessing,...
Oh that's where a lot of the traffic is coming
from.
Yeah.
And I'm gonna guess kickoff might be
around 6:15 or 6:30.
Ok.
Probably around there somewhere.
But I'm guessing that goes with any football
game you have.
All right and then we'll be getting into that
left lane.
Ok. [Horn Honking]
And then at the second light, so after The
Tower Of The Americas,
we're gonna be making a left back into the activation.
Ok.
So do you want to,...
Have you already tried your cooled seats?
Did you want to try it or,..
Huh Yeah.
When I come to a complete stop right here
behind that RAM 1500
I'll give them shot.
So right there,
Go ahead and,...
Oh just press it right there.
There we go.
So,...
that feels,...
Oh wow,...
That feels sooo good.
It's perfect for the Texas heat.
Heck yeah.
And honestly they are sooo sooo comfortable.
And I honestly will say,...
it's like when you instantly like hit the
button
you can really feel the cool air just like
going onto your body in an instant.
And it just really makes that much for a better
experience to really drive this SUV from an
overall standpoint.
So I really love that really really much.
Thanks a lot.
All right so right after the light, we'll
be going to our left.
Ok.
Thanks a lot.
And then just stay to the right and we're
going to head
straight back where were before.
I was overall impressed with the all-new redesigned
Chevrolet Traverse,
as it's not only a huge improvement over the
previous generation,
but being able to see both inside and outside
of the vehicle,
made the driving experience, more pleasant.
For Nexccelerator, at the 2017 San Antonio
Auto & Truck Show, I'm Michael Land.
Because we have a couple of vehicles behind
us.
Perfect. All Right. Go ahead and put it in park.
