2013 - 2017 Chevy Traverse How to Oil Change.

Pros
If you need room for up to eight passengers, as well as ample cargo room, the 2017 Chevrolet Traverse crossover SUV still offers one of the roomiest cabins in this field. Its $30,000 entry price is also quite appealing, as is the option of all-wheel drive.

Cons
If you’re seeking the latest in styling and advanced driver-assist features (think adaptive cruise control and collision prevention), a Honda Pilot, Ford Explorer or Toyota Highlander is a better choice. The new 2017 GMC Acadia is also a viable choice for those wishing to remain in the GM family.

Interior Comfort
Chevrolet’s Traverse crossover SUV for 2017 has three rows of seats and can be configured for seven or eight passengers. Lower trims are built for eight with a bench seat in the second row, while upper trims can seat seven with a pair of roomy captain’s chairs in the second row. Base LS models make do with cloth seating and manual-adjust front seats, while top-line Premier models have leather seats that are heated and cooled up front. Remarkably, the Traverse is big enough for adults to sit in the third row and still boast enough room behind the seats for groceries.

Exterior Styling
The Traverse is now eight years into its current design, but its style is holding up, thanks to front and rear tweaks made a few years ago. The 2017 Chevy Traverse crossover SUV bucks the blocky shape of a traditional SUV with its handsome, rounded (maybe too rounded at the rear) shape. Top-line Premier versions feature exterior mirrors with electronic blind-spot monitoring — helpful due to the Traverse’s size and compromised rear sightlines. Premier models also stand out with dual-exhaust outlets, body-color moldings and chrome accents. Lower trims have a manual liftgate, while higher ones feature a power-operated one.

Favorite Features
BUILT-IN WI-FI
With the ever-increasing need to be connected to our mobile devices 24/7, the 2017 Chevrolet Traverse SUV’s built-in Wi-Fi hotspot helps keep everyone happy and connected. This subscription-based service permits up to seven devices to share the vehicle’s 4G LTE system.

SMART SLIDE 2ND-ROW SEAT
What good is a spacious 3rd-row seat if you can’t easily access it? In the 2017 Traverse, Chevrolet offers the Smart Slide 2nd-row seat that can be operated with just one hand, making it a breeze to get in and out of the rearmost seat.

Standard Features
Beyond its sheer amount of vehicle for the money, the Chevy Traverse offers a good roster of standard features. The LS model gives you keyless entry, a rearview camera, Bluetooth phone connectivity, AM/FM/CD/satellite audio with a 6.5-inch touch-screen display and front and rear USB ports, and 4G LTE Wi-Fi connectivity. LT trims add a power-driver’s seat, leather-wrapped steering wheel, rear park assist, and power liftgate (2LT trim). Top-line Premier models bring leather, dual exhausts and a small bump in power, Bose premium audio, a heated steering wheel, heated and cooled front seats, and blind-spot monitoring with forward collision monitoring.

Factory Options
Options vary across trims for the 2017 Chevy Traverse, but all models can be had with all-wheel drive (AWD) for better traction instead of the standard front-wheel drive (FWD). Other extras include navigation with traffic data, blind-spot monitoring with a rear cross-traffic alert system (standard on Premier), a power liftgate, 10-speaker Bose audio, rear-seat DVD system, and a dual-panel sunroof. Chevrolet’s MyLink Touch telematics system combines Bluetooth audio streaming, hands-free phone communication, voice recognition, and compatibility with apps such as Pandora. A subscription to the new OnStar 4G LTE system with Wi-Fi is available after the initial 3-month/3-gigabyte trial.

Engine & Transmission
Chevy’s 2017 Traverse SUV uses a 3.6-liter V6 with direct-injection and variable-valve-timing technology that helps it achieve a decent balance of power and fuel economy. This engine produces 281 horsepower, but with the optional dual exhaust the figure rises to 288 horsepower. All models use a smooth-shifting 6-speed automatic transmission with a manual-shift mode. Front-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel-drive optional for drivers who need enhanced traction. While its fuel economy trails that of new rivals like the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander, it can tow a couple hundred more pounds than those competitors with its 5,200-pound rating, all while running on regular unleaded fuel.
