2025 Chevy Traverse SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2025 Chevrolet Traverse is available in four trim levels: LT, Z71, High Country and RS. A 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (328 horsepower, 326 lb-ft of torque) is the sole engine offered, and it's paired with an eight-speed transmission and front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is optional on all trim levels but the Z71, where it comes standard. Seven-passenger seating is standard, but eight-passenger seating is optional on the base LT trim.

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

  • 18-inch wheels
  • Hands-free power liftgate
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Triple-zone climate control

    • Trailer hitch

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
  • Rear automatic braking (applies the brakes automatically to avoid an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)

Available packages for the LT include:

  • Sun and Wheel package
    • 20-inch wheels
    • Panoramic sunroof

  • 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tires
  • Upgraded off-road suspension with additional ground clearance
  • Red tow hooks
  • Underbody skid plate
  • Driver-selectable traction modes for various terrain
  • Black synthetic leather upholstery with red stitching

Available packages for the LT and Z71 include:

    • 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)
    • 10-speaker Bose audio system
  • Driver Confidence package
    • 360-degree camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Traverse and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
    • 120-volt power outlet for the second row

High Country
The upscale High Country builds off the LT trim and adds more tech and luxury features such as:

  • Driver Confidence package
  • Enhanced Driving package
  • 22-inch wheels
  • Leather upholstery
  • Power-adjustable steering wheel 
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Heated second-row seats
  • Power-adjustable front passenger seat
  • Power-folding third-row seats
  • Upgraded interior ambient lighting
  • Digital rearview mirror (allows you to see out of the back even with a fully loaded cargo area)

A panoramic sunroof is optional on the Z71 and High Country.

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

  • 22-inch black wheels
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Black grille
  • Black exterior trim
  • Black leather upholstery with red stitching
  • Flat-bottom steering wheel
  • Red interior accents

Which Traverse trim does Edmunds recommend?

The base LT trim is the way to go if value is a priority. It comes with a long list of standard features and has a starting price that's significantly lower than the other trims. The low starting price allows you to customize the LT with worthy upgrades like the Enhanced Driving and Driver Confidence packages and still keep the Traverse's price reasonable.
