Inside, drivers could enjoy AM/FM radio, XM Satellite Radio, or pack a CD from home to enjoy along the commute. Features such as power windows, mirrors, and locks, rear windshield wipers, and cruise control may seem like basic fare by today’s standards, but offering these as standard features in 2009 catapulted the Traverse to the top of the luxury list. Drivers could also option in DVD players, 10-speaker Bose Surround Sound systems, Bluetooth connectivity, high-intensity headlamps, a dual-panel moonroof, and more to up the ante on comfort.

By 2014, Chevy stepped things up a notch with a more premium interior. That includes wood trim, power adjustable seats with memory function for the driver’s seat, leather-wrapped wheel and shift knob, and leather heated/cooled front seats. This model also brought the appearance of highly coveted technology, such as streaming audio, Chevrolet’s MyLink touchscreen system, OnStar, and more.

Flash forward to 2018 and the redesign of the Chevy Traverse. What is now considered a “used” Chevy Traverse is still more advanced than other manufacturer’s current standard models. In fact, it won awards for its capabilities as a family vehicle, including a coveted spot as one of Kelley Blue Book’s Best Family Cars of 2018.

The 3.6L V6 got a significant overhaul for 2018, with the new version producing 310 horsepower with 266 lb-ft of torque. A 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 was an available option as well, offering 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. This new iteration of the Traverse was designed with a crowd in mind. The base L trim includes plenty of standard features, such as Bluetooth and USB connectivity, a rear camera for reversing assistance, three-zone automatic climate control, and a push-button start.

As the trims increase, so do the standard features. Over the years, the Chevy Traverse has been offered in up to eleven various trim levels, with optional packages to enhance each trim level. As a result, these used Chevy SUVs may contain many of the enticing features offered on higher trims and optional packages, including a surround-vision camera system, a Bose audio system, panoramic sunroof, and heated front and middle-row captain’s chairs.

Driver assistance features have evolved significantly since 2009. While the first Traverse was applauded for its suite of airbags and seatbelt points, the 2018 version includes safety features that are still hard to come by on the new model lots. Blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alerts, forward collision alert with automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning with lane keep assist, front pedestrian detection, and automatic high beams were made available as options for lower trims and standard features on the higher trims. The Traverse continues to push the boundaries of safety and space as the years go on.
