Ingress and egress is good, and the second row now has the ability to slide forward without moving the seatback - a godsend for parents who don't want to uninstall their baby seats just to access the third row. Buyers also have the option of choosing a 7- or 8-passenger seat configuration for the second row seats. The seats are comfortable, though I would have liked it if the seat bottom could tilt a little higher up. Furthermore, the dashboard is sleek with glossy black panels that don't look cheap, and it blends in nicely with large buttons and a friendly interface. The cabin is incredibly spacious and the same goes for the center storage cubby, which is nearly as large as the ones you find in pick-up trucks. Chevrolet says it was inspired by the best of truck and car interiors and mixed together. The interior has been given a nip and tuck with a cleaner layout. Sitting at the top of the Traverse food chain, High Country adds exclusive 20-inch polished wheels, Loft Brown leather interior, suede microfibre accents, twin-clutch AWD system, a power folding third row seat, and High Country badging on the exterior, floor mats, and headrests. There is also a new High Country trim ($58,590), which Chevrolet says is like the Denali of the GMC lineup. The Traverse offers a trim that appeals to everyone, ranging from the base LS ($34,990), LT Cloth, LT True North, RS, and Premier. With it, the Traverse almost looks like a Land Rover Discovery Sport from certain angles. The Redline package ($995), which is new for this year and essentially acts as a "blacked out package", blacks out the grill, fog lamp bezels, bowtie badge, lettering, and the wheels with a bit of red accent. The new sheetmetal is handsome and takes many hints and cues from the familial Tahoe, giving it almost like a skim milk demeanor of that body-on-frame hulk. There is more interior and cargo space despite the Traverse being dimensionally the same, and it also comes equipped with more standard features. The worst part? Forgetting to bring my umbrella.Īll new for 2018, the Chevrolet Traverse is lighter and more fuel efficient than before. But it seems like it's only here that you can encounter three extremes of weather conditions within the span of an hour. SHEDIAC, New Brunswick - Who would have thought that Canada's east coast would be the perfect location to test drive an SUV? We flew to the small town of Shediac, a few minutes northeast of Moncton and known for its lobster statue, and piloted the new 2018 Chevrolet Traverse down south right to the shores of the famous Bay of Fundy.
