2019 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE

The 2019 Chevrolet Traverse High Country Sport Utility 4D stands as the absolute pinnacle of full-size, three-row luxury crossovers, serving as the flagship trim for Chevrolet’s spacious second-generation Traverse platform. Built on GM's robust, extended-wheelbase C1XX architecture, this three-row family utility vehicle trades cramped seating constraints for class-leading passenger space, premium interior appointments, and effortless, whisper-quiet highway cruising performance.

Under the long, sculpted hood sits Chevrolet’s powerful, direct-injected 3.6-liter DOHC 24-valve V6 engine, generating a robust 310 horsepower at 6,800 RPM and 266 lb-ft of torque at 2,800 RPM. This smooth mechanical core is paired with a hydraulic 9-speed automatic transmission featuring Electronic Precision Shift. Uniquely standard on the High Country trim is an advanced Twin-Clutch Advanced All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system, which actively monitors traction requirements to automatically route power side-to-side across the rear wheels as well as front-to-back, maximizing grip in heavy rain, mud, or snow. Supported by a heavy-duty cooling package and a factory trailering equipment suite, the High Country achieves a stout maximum conventional towing capacity of up to 5,000 lbs.

On the exterior, the High Country trim displays exclusive, top-tier styling defined by its distinctive High Country chrome radiator grille, polished chrome exterior accents, roof side rails, and signature D-Optic LED headlights with LED daytime running light pipes. Functional body contours include power-folding heated side mirrors with integrated turn signals, deep-tinted rear privacy glass, a Dual SkyScape® two-panel power sunroof, hands-free gesture-activated power liftgate with Chevrolet emblem projection, dual exhaust outlets with polished tips, and a commanding stance rolling on 20-inch polished aluminum alloy wheels wrapped in all-season tires.

Inside, the driver-centric cockpit welcomes up to seven occupants into an opulent luxury sanctuary finished in an exclusive Loft Brown leather-appointed interior with synthetic suede accents and contrast stitching. The layout features 8-way power-adjustable front bucket seats with power lumbar support, multi-stage heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row captain's chairs with Smart Slide® technology, and a Power-Folding 60/40 Split 3rd-Row Bench Seat. Comfort amenities include a heated leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel with power tilt and telescoping adjustment, Tri-Zone Automatic Climate Control, Keyless Open and Start, and Remote Start. High-end digital connectivity centers around the Chevrolet Infotainment System with an 8.0-inch HD color touchscreenfeaturing navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot capability, wireless smartphone charging, and a studio-quality 10-speaker Bose® Premium Audio System with a rich subwoofer setup.

Practicality and interior space utilization are where the Traverse High Country completely dominates the three-row class. The massive 120.9-inch wheelbase treats third-row passengers to adult-friendly legroom. Behind the third row, the power liftgate opens to reveal 23.0 cubic feet of cargo space. Pressing the power-folding controls to collapse the third row expands capacity to 58.1 cubic feet, while folding both the second and third rows completely flat opens up a cavernous, class-leading 98.2 cubic feet of total flat cargo volume, offering an immense area for luggage, camera production gear, or commercial inventory.

Backed by a 21.7-gallon fuel tank to support long family road trips, this 3.6L V6 AWD powertrain achieves an EPA-estimated 17 MPG city and 25 MPG highway. Safety is world-class, securing an NHTSA 5-Star Overall Safety Rating utilizing a high-strength steel safety cage structure. The High Country comes standard with Chevrolet's complete suite of driver assistance features, including Adaptive Cruise Control - Advanced, Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, Blind Zone Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, HD Surround Vision 360-degree camera, Rear Camera Mirror, Rear Park Assist, Teen Driver technology, a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) with Tire Fill Alert, and an advanced 7-airbag protective canopy network to guarantee total driving peace of mind.
