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

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?

2017 Three-Row SUV Comparison: Cargo and Third Row — Cars.com
Cars.com:
three row SUV shoppers want a vehicle
with room for people and cargo so as
part of our 2017 three row SUV challenge
myself and fellow judges Fred Meyer and
Brian Wong paid special attention to the
cargo areas in third row seats of our
four contenders to gauge their utility
and overall comfort the traversal is the
largest of our competitors and it also
has the most cargo room behind the third
row it also has a large storage bin for
storing valuables that's really
convenient
I really like the traverses third row
seat because it's big enough to
comfortably carry adult passengers
there's good Headroom pretty good
legroom and overall it's almost minivan
like in its space I can actually sit in
it and I'm six-two what I like about the
Honda's third row is that once you get
there it actually is really comfortable
for a full-sized adult what I don't like
is that it is hard to get into what I
liked about the pilots third row is that
it's really easy to get out of there's a
OneTouch button on the top of the second
row seats to move them out of the way
the pilot really does have great third
row headroom and as Mike mentioned it
has a really convenient second row
access with a powered button that moves
it out of the way however the opening is
not that big and I found myself almost
tripping to get out of the third row the
pilot was the only one in our test to
have a reversible cargo floor so one
side is carpeted and one is washable
the Toyota Highlander is the smallest of
our competitors and I also have the
least cargo room it also has the least
workable third row there's not much head
room or legroom for adults I want to put
anyone I like back there the Highlanders
third row seat reclines really far but
that's about the only thing it has going
for it otherwise it's really cramped for
adult passengers the small third row in
the Highlander surprisingly has
seatbelts for three but room for maybe
one Volkswagens first three row SUV
delivers a solid outing with ample
passenger space in all rows of seats the
Atlas third rows the roomiest year for
two adults it's one of the easiest to
get into has plenty of legroom plenty of
headroom but it has one downside the
clamshell headrest hit you in the back
of the neck the Atlas is second row seat
slides forward to give you a good space
to get back to the third row and like
the Traverse there's good space once
you're sitting there the Atlas makes the
most of its available interior space
because when you fold the third row the
seat lowers down to give you more cargo
height the Atlas did not have the
biggest cargo area here that goes to the
Traverse but it had a very large area
and it had an advantage in a bench seat
if you haul a lot of cargo that may be
the option you want in the second row
because it gives you a completely flat
load floor yeah this really does have a
great third row that's adult sized it
has good Headroom and good legroom and
it also has easy access from both the
driver side and passenger side with the
second row folding forward one thing
that the Atlas is missing though is
covered storage there's nowhere to hide
a bag or valuables they'll just be
visible from the outside for the full

2018-2019 Chevy Tahoe & Suburban Fold Flat Seating Demo
Jeff Gordon Chevrolet:
Hey this is Joe Maza at Jeff Gordon
Chevrolet - I'm your friendly Neighborhood
Car Guy. Today I want to show you one of the features
of the 2018 Suburban. It's the fold flat
seating and how easy it is to use.
So basically all you're gonna have to do is
just press and hold that button and it's
gonna make the seats fold forward. So
I'll do it with the other one right here,
then you can see a go forward.
It'll also fold those forward seats when
you press it twice.
So that way it'll give easy access to
the passengers up there. You do have to
manually put those ones in the front
down. The ones in the back here, all you
have to do is press and hold it up and
they come right back up, that way you don't have to reach for them. There's also a button
right here in addition to the one in the
back that allows the seat to fold forward and
then if you press it again, it'll fold up. Pretty easy.
All right that's it as far as the fold flat seating. If you have any questions, make sure you comment below!
Make sure you like and share with your friends and
I will look forward to seeing you guys
when you come and visit me over here at
Jeff Gordon Chevrolet at

All right, have a great day!
2019 Kia Sorento Review | How Useful Is the Third Row? | Edmunds
Edmunds:
ELANA SCHERR: The 2019 Kia
Sorento has a few tweaks
to its looks, a new
transmission, and now
standard third row seating.
How useful is that
third row, and where
does the mild redesign
place the Kia if you're
shopping for a midsize SUV?
We're searching the
cosmos to find out.
Before we start,
please hit Subscribe
and visit Edmunds for all
your SUV shopping needs.
If you're looking at the
Honda Pilot, Chevy Traverse,
or Toyota Highlander,
you might be
wondering if you should add
the Sorento to your test drive
list.
It's well priced,
starting at $25,000,
and it manages to fit a large
interior in a smaller exterior
package.
What's new for 2019?
Not a whole lot--
the headlights are
squintier and, in some of the
higher trim levels, all LED.
The overall look is
basically the same--
traditional midsize SUV,
which I would translate
as tougher-looking minivan.
When you first step
into the Sorento,
you might be sort of surprised.
The materials aren't
the highest level,
but they are nicer
than you would expect,
and they are used very
nicely through the cabin.
There's not any part of the
car that looks cheaper or more
expensive than any other part.
The materials are all soft-ish.
There are some nice trim pieces.
The steering wheel
has a baseball stitch,
and it feels pretty
good in the hand.
I like this piano black
that runs along the door
panel-- that's pretty snazzy.
If I had any complaint
about the interior,
it would be that there aren't
a whole lot of color options.
And if you go with this all
black, it's really dark.
It can be a little
claustrophobic.
The driving position
in the Sorento
is very comfortable the seat
has a lot of adjustment.
I was able to move
it up to where
I needed to be to drive,
and some of the taller folks
who drove it were
able to move it back.
Everybody was set.
I like how Kia used physical
buttons for everything,
and also how all of the controls
kind of have their own space
in the interior.
Like, safety stuff is over here;
controls for the center stack
are here; controls for the
speedometer display are here;
radio and nav is here;
temperature is here;
and the shifter and off-road
options, like the locking diff,
are down here.
However, the placement
of those buttons
is not always super convenient.
I have to stretch to reach
the buttons over here,
even though I have the
seat really far forward.
And because I have the
seat really far forward,
I have to reach back
to get the buttons here
or to get into the console.
So I feel like Kia could
spend a little more time
thinking about seating
position and how
it affects your ability
to get to the controls
in the infotainment.
The Sorento starts in
a good price range,
but you can really
add a lot of options.
And by the time you've
got everything in it,
you're almost in
luxury SUV range.
There are some great standards,
like the third row and Apple
CarPlay and Android Auto.
You have an option of a
7 or 8-inch touchscreen,
and it's pretty nice.
It's not the best visual
quality I've seen,
but it's totally works.
It works.
And there are plenty of
places to charge a phone--
you've got a USB, two 12 volts,
and a charging pad down here.
I complain sometimes
about these charging pads,
and it is applicable here.
They take up all of your
console storage space,
because you can't really
put stuff on top of them.
Whatever.
It is useful.
I use it a lot, so maybe I
shouldn't be complaining.
Plenty of space in the console.
Got a little coin
tray, and you've also
got another 12 volt in there.
There's also 12 volts and
USBs in the back seat.
The second row is
the place to be.
The seats are comfortable--
there's a ton of leg room.
Got a USB port, an AC
plug, and a 12 volt.
Even the middle seat is
comfortable and has leg room.
If you're really
feeling VIP, you
can put up the privacy
shade and recline
to enjoy the sunroof,
which comes all
the way across the back seat.
It's not just for the front.
When you put it up, though--
you might have some
complaints, which
we'll get into as we
talk about the third row.
I wasn't expecting a whole
lot from the third row,
since the Sorento was smaller
than most three-row SUVs.
But there's actually quite
a lot of space back here,
and the seats are
very comfortable.
There's even AC controls,
windows, and cup holders.
Although you give up
armrests for them.
The problem with the third row
is getting in and out of it.
The seats are a 60-40 split, so
one goes down with the center
and one goes down separately.
The way the seats
are split means
that it's easier to
get in on the passenger
side than the driver side.
Either way you get in, you
have to slide the seat forward
and fold it down, and there
isn't a whole lot of room
to squeeze by it.
Once you are in the third
row, you can't really
bring the seats back
up into position,
and you're stuck here
until someone lets you out.
If you're a parent trying
to wrangle several children
getting them in and
out of here, you
need to have free hands
to be able to help them.
And if you've got car
seats in the front,
it's basically no go.
You can't fold the seats,
and you can't get back here.
If you have three or
more young children,
I don't think this is going to
be a useful vehicle for you.
The Edmunds test team was
expecting great things
from the transmission
in the Sorento.
For 2019, it's an 8-speed, and
previously it was a 6-speed.
On the positive side, it does
get better fuel mileage now
with the 8-speed.
And it's very smooth--
you will never spill a
coffee in the Sorento.
Look-- I'm going to floor it.
Oh my god, so smooth.
The downside is
that it's slower--
it's almost a second
slower 0 to 60
than it was with the 6-speed,
so that means almost a second
longer that you'll have
to be floored if you're
trying to merge in traffic.
When you're in
the very top trim,
you have the very top price.
And this Sorento
is almost $50,000,
which is too much
for a Sorento-- don't
pay $50,000 for a Sorento.
Entry level costs on a Kia
Sorento show is about $25,000,
but it's only available with
the four cylinder, which
is underwhelming.
What you really want
is the V6, which
comes with 290 horses, which
is pretty high compared
to the competition.
Only the Toyota Highlander
and the top level Explorer
have more.
We recommend the
EX, because it's
available with the
V6 engine, which
has almost 300 horsepower,
and you can option it up
to almost match the SX,
but for a lot less money.
Because the V6 is paired with
the new 8-speed automatic
transmission, MPG is pretty
good in the Sorento--
22 combined.
Along with having a price that's
about $5,000 less than most
of the competition all the
way up the trim levels,
the Sorento is
popular because it's
a little bit smaller
exterior-wise than most
of the other vehicles
with a third row.
That makes it
easier for parking,
getting in and out of
garages, that kind of stuff.
You don't really notice
the size difference
from the inside, which
is great, especially
in the second row, where
there's a ton of space.
The way that Kia made
the vehicle smaller
is basically in the back--
they cut off all of the space
after the third row, so
you do give up cargo space
if you have that third row up.
It does feel a
little bit smaller
to me in the driver's seat
than some of the other SUVs
that I've driven recently, but
I wouldn't call it cramped.
If the last time
that you drove a Kia
was say, a Rio or
something-- rental car,
you would be really surprised
by Kia's ride quality.
It is so quiet, it is so calm.
There's no wind noise,
there's no tire noise.
It's soaking up all the bumps.
If anything, you might complain
that you feel a little distant
from the road that
you're driving on,
but it is very comfortable.
The Sorento has four
different driving modes--
Comfort, Eco, Sport, and Smart.
Far as I can tell, they
don't really do anything.
I mean, I'm sure they do--
I think when you put
it in Sport Mode,
there's a change in
the transmission tune
and the throttle response
is a little bit sharper,
but it is barely noticeable.
In most of the cars
I drive, I find
that there's something that I
love and something that I hate.
Like-- oh man, the brakes
are so good in this,
but the steering's so dead.
Or the throttle
response is excellent,
but the shifter is awful.
That's not the case
for this Sorento.
I have never felt so neutral
about any vehicle in my life.
There is nothing to complain
about-- the steering feels
fine, the gas pedal is a
little slow to respond,
but you'd sort of
expect that in an SUV.
The brakes are
great-- the test team
said that they were fully within
parameters for SUV stoppage.
But none of it stands out.
That's not really a compliment--
it's just not a complaint.
I feel like Kia's designers
were given instruction
to make something that
wouldn't offend anyone.
So nothing really stands
out about the design
or the technology.
Multiple times, while I've
been driving this car,
I've parked it
somewhere, came out
and been like, which one is it?
Because it kind of just looks
like a general idea of an SUV.
Nothing stands out.
Kia has been ambitious with
its marketing of the Sorento,
even making a commercial showing
it climbing a steep off road
challenge in Moab, Utah.
I don't think that
Kia really expects
you to take the Sorento
up Hell's Gate in Utah,
and I don't expect you to
like camping as much as I do.
But it is a really
good way to showcase
how much cargo space there is--
73 cubic feet total.
And if for some reason you
want to do something else,
maybe stargazing where
there's indoor plumbing,
you can pack it full of whatever
you might need for that.
You know, the longer
I drive this car,
the more I think that
I was unfair to say
that there was nothing
that stands out about it.
Everything is what you'd expect
from a top trim level SUV--
I mean, all of the safety
suites are pretty normal.
It will help you
change lanes, and it
will help you stay in
the lanes, and it's
got all of the airbags,
and it's got warnings
if you're about to crash into
something-- so none of that
is remarkable.
But the way that Kia dealt
with a few of those things
is pretty cool.
The first is adaptive
cruise control,
which I've complained about
before in other cars, because I
feel like, a lot of times,
you can't tell when it's on
and when it's off.
In the Kia, first of
all, it's really easy
to turn it on-- it's
just two buttons.
And when it is on, it's really
obvious-- the speedometer turns
yellow.
You absolutely
know that it's on.
You can see how far you have
to the car in front of you
for the adaptive component.
And when it's off,
also very obvious.
Safe.
I don't think they really
give out automotive awards
for headlights.
But if they did, I would
nominate the Kia Sorento.
They're LED, they're self
leveling-- so they're always
pointed where you need them to
be-- and they actually move,
which isn't something that
we haven't seen before.
I mean, BMW has been
doing it for a long time.
But to see it on a Kia
was sort of unexpected.
It's cool.
The Sorento is functional,
but not inspired.
It's not out of place
on a city adventure,
and it has enough
ride height and space
to take you on a trip
out of your comfort zone.
It can carry a lot of
people or a lot of gear--
but not both, so choose wisely.
If you do need
something that can
carry both people
and stuff, you might
want to choose something else.

2018 Chevy Tahoe & Suburban Fold Flat Seating Demo
The Jeff Gordon Experience:
Hey this is Joe Maza at Jeff Gordon
Chevrolet - I'm your friendly Neighborhood
Car Guy. Today I want to show you one of the features
of the 2018 Suburban. It's the fold flat
seating and how easy it is to use.
So basically all you're gonna have to do is
just press and hold that button and it's
gonna make the seats fold forward. So
I'll do it with the other one right here,
then you can see a go forward.
It'll also fold those forward seats when
you press it twice.
So that way it'll give easy access to
the passengers up there. You do have to
manually put those ones in the front
down. The ones in the back here, all you
have to do is press and hold it up and
they come right back up, that way you don't have to reach for them. There's also a button
right here in addition to the one in the
back that allows the seat to fold forward and
then if you press it again, it'll fold up. Pretty easy.
All right that's it as far as the fold flat seating. If you have any questions, make sure you comment below!
Make sure you like and share with your friends and
I will look forward to seeing you guys
when you come and visit me over here at
Jeff Gordon Chevrolet at
228 South College Road in Wilmington North Carolina.
All right, have a great day!
2015 Chevy Tahoe 2nd and 3rd Row Power Folding Seats
the WNC Powerhouse:
One of the first things I want to show you
is, these cool power-folding seats in the
second and third rows. It's brand new on the
2015 Tahoe. So what i'm going to do real quick
is hold these two buttons and it'll put these
[third row] seats down. Then I can hold these
here, once it'll put them down flat, another
time and it'll put them up so that you can
have a lot more leg room to get back in. You
cannot manually put those back down, but these
ones back here you can just hold the buttons
and they come right back up. It gives you
a lot more room to enter and exit the vehicle
that way and you also have buttons, if you're
sitting in these [third row] chairs, right
here on the side to exit to fold these [second
row] back up to get in and out a lot easier.
Hey guys, this is Jason again, we just wanted
to provide a little bit different prospective
so you could see what it looks like if you're
looking back from the driver's seat. So i'll
fold these back two down real quick with the
push of a button. The front two down, or mid-row
down, and I'll hit it again and they'll pop
right up and we'll pop these back two up so
you can just see how much space opens up to
enter and exit the vehicle, really easily.

2017 Three-Row SUV Comparison: Results — Cars.com
Cars.com:
three row SUVs have become the family
vehicle of choice and it's a segment
that's seen a lot of change in the last
year so we thought it was time to bring
back the winner from our past challenge
the honda pilot and stack it up against
three new competitors the updated Toyota
Highlander the redesign Chevrolet
Traverse in the all-new Volkswagen atlas
here's how they placed coming in fourth
place was a Toyota Highlander even
though it gained new styling and an
updated v6 drivetrain for the 2017 model
year the changes weren't enough in the
face of the bigger roomier competitors
in our test highlander shortcomings
include a tight third row that doesn't
offer enough space to comfortably carry
adults limited cargo room behind the
third row in a multimedia system that
was missing apple carplay and android
auto smartphone connectivity a firm busy
ride in a noisy cabin were also
negatives
though the highlanders multimedia system
is lacking the SUV's unique dashboard
device tray recognizes the importance of
smartphones in people's lives there's
also a huge center console storage bin
for tucking your possessions out of
sight when we tested three row SUVs a
year ago the Honda Pilot won but newer
competitors bumped it down to third
place this time around the pilot is
still a roomy SUV with lots of storage
space and a neat one touch feature for
entering or exiting the third row but
it's multimedia system in 9-speed
automatic frustrated the judges the
multimedia systems over reliance on
touch sensitive controls in its
unintuitive menus make it a chore to use
in the transmissions delayed response
when you need more power is unnerving
and even though Headroom in the third
row is good for adults legroom is
surprisingly limited considering the
pilot's overall size finishing in second
place was a Chevrolet Traverse which has
been completely redesigned for the 2018
model year it's still a big SUV the
biggest one in this test but it doesn't
feel large from the driver's seat and
was easy to control and maneuver judges
also like the traverses composed
comfortable ride in quiet cabin with 7
USB ports in a
built-in Wi-Fi hotspot the Traverse also
has the tech to keep your family
connected when on-the-go
the Traverse wasn't without faults
however its 9-speed automatic isn't the
most refined the second row captains
chairs have hard cushions in our test
model was missing important active
safety features that the competition had
the winner of cars comms 2017 three row
SUV challenge is the all-new Volkswagen
Atlas where other competitors suffered
from a lack of cabin space or hard to
use technology the Atlas did almost
everything well highlights include
smooth and direct steering that helped
make the Atlas easy to drive a
responsive 8-speed automatic
transmission a roomy and comfortable
cabin and an easy-to-use multimedia
system that was the judges favorite the
lowest as-tested price important active
safety features in a long
bumper-to-bumper warranty
put the atlas high on the value scale -
while we would have liked a little
stronger acceleration and better gas
mileage than the worst and test
19 mpg combined the Atlas is
well-positioned to please families

Globe Drive: Three-row SUVs the trend at L.A. auto show
The Globe and Mail:
One of the hottest trends at the LA auto
show are SUVs with three rows of seats
like this one. This is the Lexus RX. It's
longer and wider than the last version,
and it's also more spacious. It now has
seating for up to seven people in three
rows of seats, and the seats are really
flexible, they have power folding options
so the seats come down with a touch of a
button and it makes it easier getting
into the third row.
So this is a Kia Sorento; It gets refreshed for 2018.
It gets new styling on the exterior and
interior it also has three rows of seats.
You can get it with front-wheel drive or
all-wheel drive, three different engines,
and it gets more technology than ever
before. It even has Kia's new UVO
intelligent system which allows you to
connect to your car in new and
innovative ways using your smart phone.
So you can do a number of things with
this vehicle, you can actually remotely
start the vehicle with your smart phone
from the comfort of your own home on
those cold winter mornings.
Now here's another SUV with three rows
of seats it's the all-new Subaru Ascent.
This replaces the old Tribeca and as you
can see it has seats for up to seven
people three rows. Lots of room and you
can easily fold down the second row
seats so it's easier to get into the
third row. This SUV will be American-made
rolling off the line at Subaru's plant in
Indiana. Wxpect to see these three road
SUVs coming to Canada in a few months.
