Used 2019 Chevrolet Traverse LT Cloth for sale 

Every trim level comes with its unique feature list starting with the entry-level Traverse L trim. You get the basic feature list with the standard powertrain, Front-Wheel-Drive is the only drivetrain option on the L trim. The LS trim is the same as the L trim plus the AWD option and additions to the standard feature list. The LT Cloth trim swaps the 2nd-row bench with a second-row captain's chair, this reduces the passenger capacity to 7 but opens up more space for cabin utility.

The LT leather trim adds leather upholstery and features from the Driver Convenience and Driver Configuration Package. Premium expands the feature list even further and the top of the line High country trim features upscale equipment and is only offered in All-Wheel-Drive mode.

We Recommend-

While all seven trim looks appealing, we recommend you to go with the LT Cloth trim. This trim paired with the Convenience and Driver Confidence package is the perfect combo for your Traverse.

Traverse remains unchanged for 2019 but under the hood, its standard 3.6L V6 engine feels like something new. The engine is capable of mustering 310 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque. The torquey V6 feels sturdy and is paired with a slick 9-speed automatic transmission. This power plant remains identical for all trims except for the RS which is backed with a Turbocharged 2.0L Inline-4 engine mated to the same 9-speed automatic transmission.

Both engines feel gutsy and eager to pump power, but it's the 9-speed automatic gearbox that takes the center stage. The downshifts come easy and maintain a lower gear while passing highways to generate more efficiency.

The Traverse is the most powerful SUV in the segment with its V6 engine. Other cars for the price don't justify the low power figure. The Explorer and the Ascent are close when it comes to the power but the output is less than that of the Traverse.

Acceleration

The fact that GM was able to cut 350 pounds open new possibilities for the Traverse. However, it's still a heavy mid-size SUV, you will feel the engine's thrust but the transmission calibrated for the economy is hesitant to unlock the full potential. From a standstill, the Traverse takes 6.7 seconds to hit the 60mph mark. It's slower than the Tahoe but GM built the Traverse to be more comfortable than sport, so that's fine.

Models	2019 Chevrolet Traverse	2019 GMC Acadia	2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee	2019 Honda Pilot	2019 Ford Explorer	2019 Subaru Ascent	2019 Toyota Highlander	2019 Dodge Durango SXT

Emission (Tons/yr. of CO2 Emissions @ 15K mi/year)	8.4*	8.4	7.7					8.4

This Chevy is not that quick and aggressive, other cars like the Ford Explorer manage to overshadow the Traverse and accomplish it with the 5.8second acceleration. The Subaru is a tad slower than the Traverse.

Ride and Handling

Chevy lovers will immediately recognize the steering which is straight out of the Colorado minus the sharp instincts. There is no road communication, if we quote the steering it seems like you are driving a normal-sized car and not an SUV, though it shows a good on-center return. As an SUV buyer sportiness might not be at the summit of your priorities. Engineers crafted the suspension for comfort so it feels soft rather than being laser-focused on driving.

The Traverse is nimble but suffers from a little body lean around the corners, but it's acceptable for a car weighing over 4000 pounds. It's more capable of cruising on the highway than maneuvering in the city's traffic. The larger bumps are soaked up with ease through the softer suspension and the small bumps are backed by the seat's lateral support.

Braking

There is little effort while braking, the pedal feel is light and manageable and won' font pain your foot in the city's constant on and off braking. Being a heavyweight, the car weighs 4362 pounds which takes away its edge during the panic brake test. The SUV halts from the speed of 60 mph in 126 feet.

Model	2019 Chevrolet Traverse	2019 GMC Acadia	2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee	2019 Honda Pilot	2019 Ford Explorer	2019 Subaru Ascent	2019 Toyota Highlander	2019 Dodge Durango SXT
Brake Front (in.)	TBD	12.6	13	12.6	12.8	13.1	12.9	13.0
Brake Rear (in.)	TBD	12.4	13	13	12.8	13	12.2	13.0
Curb Weight (lbs.)	4362	3956	4513	4036	4458	4430	4134	4680
60-0 MPH (ft.)	126	N/A	N/A	117 (est.)	108 (With optional tires)	119	126 (est.)	121

It might be average but there are SUVs with better braking prowess. The Subaru Ascent despite the higher weight performs better.

Towing Capacity

 It might be a big SUV but it's pretty underpowered when it comes to trailers. The Traverse towed up to 1500 pounds to its max which isn't very impressive when you look at the competition.

Model	2019 Chevrolet Traverse	2019 GMC Acadia	2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee	2019 Honda Pilot	2019 Ford Explorer	2019 Subaru Ascent	2019 Toyota Highlander	2019 Dodge Durango SXT	2019 Chevrolet Traverse	2019 GMC Acadia
Towing Capacity	1500	2000	2000	4,000	N/A	3500	5000	5000	1500	6200

The Traverse's towing is not the best and possibly the worst in the lot. Compared to the likes of Dodge Durango, Ford Explorer, and Subaru Ascent which can tow three times more than the Traverse

The economy for a midsize SUV has always been a mix-bag, still, the Traverse delivers pretty fair numbers when it comes to mileage. In the city, the Traverse delivers 18 mpg and on the highway, it can muster up to 27 mpg. However, that's for the standard V6 powertrain, the inline-4 is cleaner with its 20 mpg city and 26 highway mileage. Also, consider one thing, RWD Traverse is more fuel-efficient than the AWD variants, fewer the tires higher the economy.

Model	2019 Chevrolet Traverse	2019 GMC Acadia	2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee	2019 Honda Pilot	2019 Ford Explorer	2019 Subaru Ascent	2019 Toyota Highlander	2019 Dodge Durango SXT
MPG (city)	18	21	19	19	17	21	20	18
MPG (highway)	27	26	26	27	24	27	24	25
MPG (combined)	21	23	21	22	20	23	22	20
Fuel Tank (gallons)		19	24.6					24.6

Fuel economy is average as the Subaru Ascent delivers a tad more mileage. The Ford Explorer's 23 mpg highway mileage is lower than other SUVs in the lot.

The mammoth like boxy design delivers more cabin space than necessary. The interior quality looks upscale, there are a lot of soft textures and the Premium and High Country Trim gets the best of it. However, you will find a lot of hard plastics but that's in places you won't look or get in contact with much. Getting into the cabin is not an issue, stepping in and out of the cabin is easy. It doesn't have an SUV like a step-in, so children will not improvise much.

Replacing the 2nd bench row with the captain's chairs opens up space in the middle which gives easy access to the 3rd row. As for the visibility, its average, you will not be enlightened by the niceties of the road from a distance. The A and B pillars are average-sized so the cross-view is acceptable.

Third Row (cu. ft) Legroom	33.5		31.1	-	31.9	32	31.7	31.7	31.5

You get seating for 8 in the standard Traverse but Chevy gave the optional captain's chair option which makes that 7. All seats are comfortable with sufficient headroom and legroom to endure long trips. The front row seats are the most comfortable with the driver's chair featuring power adjustment. Higher sweetens the mood with passenger adjustment and lumbar adjustment. The third-row seats are not a pain either, a 6 footer can easily squeeze back into the seats, but he won't enjoy a long ride due to low legroom space.

Infotainment System

The 7-inch infotainment screen is mounted high and is easy to use. There is no noticeable delay with any menu either. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard features even for the entry-level Traverse. However, you may have too, extend your reach to actually use the touch screen.

Cargo volume

Get all your clothes, bags, and extra supplies for the future, and still, there will be more space to use. Inside the cabin, every door has big door pockets, space for water bottles, a central console, and more. On the upper trim, the infotainment screen could be shifted upwards for a cubby hole. If you talk about core practicality, Chevy is not far behind. The standard 23 cubic feet is decent, though you can fold the 3rd-row seats to open up 57.8 inches of cargo. Still not satisfied? Fold the 2nd row to go SUV mode with its 98.2 cubic feet of cargo.

Cargo Volume in the trunk (ft.3)	23	12.8	36.3	16.5	21	17.8	13.8	17.2

Cargo Volume 2nd row folded (ft.3)	98.2	79	68.3	46.8	80.7	86.5	83.7	84.5

The big boxy design comes with a lot of perks. Most of its direct competitors are spacious but do not match Chevy's generosity.

Chevrolet built a rugged beast in a gentleman's skin, Traverse's design is true to its "big and bold styling". This year's Traverse carries forward the yesteryears revamp with minor tweaks on the exterior, you have a taller grille and slim tail lights. The fine lines on the hood and the sides look sharp, shredding the bulky SUV looks. The looks may not look as good as the Explorer but GM favors functionality over design. The body design delivers more headroom and compliments the humongous look, so that works out for the Traverse.

Dimensions and Weight

Being 10 inches longer than an executive, the Chevrolet Traverse is 201 inches long and 79 inches wide. It's quite a big SUV even for the mid-size norms. The height is rated at 70.7 inches and features a rather long wheelbase of 121 inches. The longer wheelbase gives it a better chance to endure rocky pavements with ease. However, the wider turning radius makes it difficult to park in tight spaces. There is no other SUV in the mid-size segment bigger than the Traverse, henceforth no competition here.

NHTSA gave the Traverse a full stellar rating on their crash test. The entire Traverse family shares a rich standard safety list, a rearview camera, and traction control is a staple throughout the trim family. Now for more features and you have to spend more. Higher trim levels get more features like automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, active lane control. Automatic high beams and more. These come standard for the High Country trim but are optional for the Premier.

Ford Explorer vs Chevrolet Traverse

Ford created a multi talented SUV with everything wrapped sensibly. A true family hauler with decent fuel economy and cargo space. However, the third-row passenger seats are cramped and not fit for long routes. Still, if you are looking for a midsize SUV then Explorer is not one to miss. Traverse, on the other hand, pushed the envelope with more intensity. You get more cargo, power, comfort on a lesser price tag. The Explorer is more agile to drive but that is not what a buyer in the mid-size segment looks for.

So, frankly, the Traverse outshines the Explorer on that level as well.

Subaru Ascent vs Chevrolet Traverse

Park an Ascent next to the Traverse and the difference the quite visible. Chevy is the king of the hill because of its humongous size. Then you have a potent engine, more power, differing fuel economy, and cargo volume. Subaru wins the battle when it comes to towing capacity. That pined next to the better fuel efficiency is the only upper hand Subaru has over Chevy.

Both the Ascent and the Traverse are logical buy in their own way, but as a package Traverse is the more savvy SUV to buy.

GMC Acadia vs Chevrolet Traverse

GM introduced Acadia and Traverse are the distant cousins from GM's branch family. In the past, they both had size and style but then they were further divided when one inheriting style and another size. The Acadia boasts suave interior styling and better cabin comfort minus the cargo while Traverse is more of a family SUV. But again, it can tow way more than the Traverse.

The similar price range makes the choice entirely up to the buyer's intentions for the SUV.

"The bigger it is the better it gets" seems like GM truly believes in the notion with the Traverse. Being the roomiest SUV in the mi-sized segment Traverse is one hell of a buy. You get a sonorous V6 engine as standard, acceptable efficiency, and more space than you can make use of. The driving dynamics are like any other SUV, the suspension is soft and calibrated for comfort making it ideal for long routes.

Some would appreciate the sweet simplistic body along with the upscale interior but would like more trailering and ergonomic numbers. Overall, the Traverse competes well and is a more sensible choice when you consider the price and the amounts of features you get.
