A big step forward for big families
The 2025 Chevrolet Traverse has built its reputation as one of the most family-friendly three-row SUVs on the market. Its redesign in 2024 made it even more rugged-looking, more spacious, versatile, and comfortable, striking a great balance between practicality and style. It slots above the smaller Equinox and Blazer in Chevy’s SUV lineup, and just below the full-size Tahoe and Suburban, making it a go-to choice for families who need generous room without moving into a full-size SUV. The Traverse competes in the hot three-row midsize SUV segment, against the likes of the Toyota Highlander, Ford Explorer, Kia Telluride, Hyundai Palisade, and the Honda Pilot.

The 2025 Traverse FWD LT comes standard with a 2.5-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine producing a robust 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, while all-wheel drive is available as an upgrade. Fuel economy for the Traverse FWD is 20 city/27 highway/23 combined for FWD models, delivering respectable efficiency for a mid-size three-row SUV. For 2025, the Traverse carries forward from the 2024 redesign with bold styling cues, modernized tech, and plenty of safety features. It also delivers great value, especially thanks to a competitive lease offer this September.
