Chevrolet’s Traverse is an attractive, comfortable and capable family-sized crossover SUV with three rows of seating, up to 8-passenger capacity, and more overall interior room than the significantly more expensive Chevy Tahoe.

From KBB.com: It competes against a long list of similar vehicles, including the Ford Explorer, Honda Pilot, Hyundai Palisade, Kia Telluride, Subaru Ascent, Toyota Highlander and Volkswagen Atlas, among others. Your selection in this segment has never been better, and the Traverse is worthy of consideration.

Don’t be fooled by the low starting price, though. Most Traverse buyers will want to upgrade to the LS trim at a minimum, which costs thousands of dollars more and for no other reason than to obtain dark-tinted privacy glass and access to some options. And to get driving-assistance and collision-avoidance features that are increasingly standard in competitors, you’ll pay closer to $40,000 at a minimum.
