2024 Chevy Traverse SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Chevrolet Traverse is available in four trim levels: LS, LT, Z71 and RS. A 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (328 horsepower, 326 lb-ft of torque) is the sole engine offering, paired with an eight-speed transmission and front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is optional on all but the Z71, where it comes standard.

LS
The base LS trim starts with a generous list of standard features and driver aids, including:

  • 18-inch alloy wheels
  • Hands-free power liftgate
  • Cloth upholstery
  • Heated front seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Triple-zone climate control
  • 11-inch digital gauge cluster
  • 17.7-inch touchscreen
  • Navigation
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration (with wireless connectivity)
  • Six-speaker audio system
  • Wi-Fi hotspot

A comprehensive bundle of driver assistance features also comes standard:

  • Forward collision warning with automatic braking and pedestrian detection (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert and intervention (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while reversing and can automatically steer the car back into its lane if you try to change lanes while a car is in the vehicle's blind spot)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the Traverse back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Traverse and the car in front)
  • Rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible behind the vehicle when parking)
  • 360-degree camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Traverse and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Safety alert seat (vibrates driver's seat to warn of potential collisions)

LT
Moving up to the LT adds a few more extra features but also opens up options unavailable on the base trim. Additional features include:

  • Roof rails
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Second-row captain's chairs
  • Wireless phone charger
  • 120-volt power outlet for second row

Options include:

  • Eight-passenger seating (replaces captain's chairs with split-folding second-row bench seat)
  • 20-inch wheels
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Upgraded sport suspension
  • Synthetic leather upholstery
  • 10-speaker Bose audio system
  • Super Cruise hands-free driving system
  • Automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with little or no driver intervention)
  • Trailering package (trailer hitch, upgraded system and touchscreen-based hitch guidance)
  • Midnight/Sport Edition (20-inch gloss black wheels, gloss black grille and exterior trim)

Z71
The Z71 comes with most of the LT's features and shares similar options, but it adds standard all-wheel drive, taller ground clearance and fortified off-road components such as:

  • All-terrain tires
  • Upgraded off-road suspension
  • Dual-clutch all-wheel-drive system
  • Aluminum underbody skid plate
  • Driver-selectable traction modes for various terrain
  • Trailering package (trailer hitch, upgraded system and touchscreen-based hitch guidance)

RS
The top-trim RS comes with nearly every feature offered in the Traverse lineup, adding upgrades such as:

  • 22-inch wheels
  • Leather upholstery
  • Power-adjustable front passenger seat
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Heated rear seats
  • Power-folding third-row seat
  • Power liftgate with hands-free operation
  • Digital rearview mirror (allows you to see out the back even with a fully loaded cargo area)
  • 10-speaker Bose audio system
  • Super Cruise hands-free driving system
  • Automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with little or no driver intervention)
  • Driver attention warning (issues an alert if sensors determine you are becoming fatigued)

Which Traverse trim does Edmunds recommend?

The base trim comes with an impressive list of features, but we'd still recommend stepping up to the LT. It comes with a few notable extras — power-adjustable driver's seat, wireless phone charger, second-row captain's chairs (which you can swap to a split-configuration bench seat if you prefer maximum passenger capacity) — but also offers desirable options such as premium Bose audio and the Super Cruise hands-free driving system.
