How the 2025 Chevy Traverse Blends Practicality and Fun in a Full-Size Package

As a replacement to the original esteemed TrailBlazer, the Chevrolet Traverse had a lot to live up to when it first arrived for the 2009 model year. It has done that and then some, becoming one of the top sellers in the Chevy SUV line-up. The 2025 edition of this full-size SUV has arrived, and at North Park Chevrolet, we continue the modern tradition of offering great prices and next-level customer service. You can visit today to find everyday versatility and weekend excitement on the same set of wheels.

The 2025 Chevy Traverse builds on the acclaimed third-generation SUV, which won a 2024 J.D. Power Award for New Vehicle Quality among Upper Midsize SUVs. We aren’t exaggerating when we say the Chevy Traverse provides the do-it-all package that area drivers need for their busy lives. It can be a family vehicle one day, a work vehicle the next, and an adventure vehicle the day after. Read on to see how the 2025 Chevy Traverse is a practical yet fun steed.

Powerful, Versatile Performance

You don’t need to be a mechanical wizard to know you need a strong vehicle to handle the many roads around South-Central Texas. Don’t let the midsize, three-row designation fool you—the 2025 Chevy Traverse is a dependable and powerful SUV. It’s powered by a 2.5L turbo-four engine that outperforms its size, generating 328 hp and 326 lb-ft of torque. That’s more than rivals like the Honda Pilot, Ford Explorer, Kia Telluride, and Toyota Highlander. The eight-speed automatic transmission with manual mode helps you get an impressive EPA-estimated 23 MPG combined in FWD, which is also among the best in its class. AWD is available, which you’ll be thankful for on rainy days and dirt roads.

The adaptability of the 2025 Chevy Traverse is enhanced by Chevy’s independent Ride and Handling suspension and an array of driving modes that fine-tune the performance for everything from silky-smooth highways to bumpy back roads and construction zones. The standard Class III Trailering Package lets you tow up to 5,000 pounds using a factory-installed hitch and hitch cover, which is enough for a car dolly, multiple ATVs, a fishing boat, or medium utility trailers and pop-up campers for your weekend fun.

Space for Everyone and Everything

As a full-size SUV, you would expect the 2025 Chevy Traverse to be roomy. Reality meets those expectations and then some by outperforming its competitors almost across the board. Three-row seating for seven is standard, with an expansive 44.3 inches of front legroom and 41.5 inches of rear legroom. You can add an eighth seat on select trims to fit all the kids and their friends—and you’ll be even more comfortable in warmer Texas summers with the ventilated front seats and tri-zone automatic climate control.

From football practice to road trips, the Chevy Traverse can transport all your luggage and gear. It has 22.9 cu.ft. of cargo space with all the seats in their upright positions and a class-leading 98 cu.ft. with the second and third-row seats removed. The hands-free AutoSense Power Liftgate lets you open it while your hands are full for faster and easier loading. Add an optional cargo mat or integrated liner to protect the interior from debris. Each Traverse also has side roof rails to secure bikes, skis, luggage pods, and more.

A Tech-Friendly, Safe Design

Chevrolet lives up to its reputation as one of the world’s most tech-forward automakers with its work on the 2025 Chevy Traverse. The standard 17.7-inch infotainment touchscreen feels like a TV in your SUV. With compatibility for wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and two USB ports in every row, you can connect any device to charge. Chevy has also made wireless phone charging, a subscription-based Wi-Fi hotspot, an 11-inch digital gauge display, and a three-month SiriusXM 360L trial standard fare. (You can upgrade to a three-year SiriusXM subscription with no automatic renewal.)

The 2025 Traverse also has the Chevy Safety Assist tech suite plus other driver-assist features to look out for yourself and other vehicles. Just some of the standard features included in the 2025 Traverse are:

• Automatic front and rear emergency braking
• Adaptive cruise control
• Lane Keep Assistance with Lane Departure Warning
• Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking
• Rear Cross Traffic Braking
• IntelliBeam automatic high-beams
• A Following Distance Indicator
• An HD rear camera
• An Automatic Occupant Sensing display

Higher trims receive added features like Super Cruise hands-free driving, Rear Pedestrian Alert, Traffic Sign Recognition, and Driver Attention Assist. Even without these extras, the 2025 Chevy Traverse earned a five-star NHTSA safety rating, so you can enjoy peace of mind.

The Right Trim for Any Driving Style

While the basics of the Chevy Traverse are still something to get excited about, Chevy goes beyond this with editions and packages that cater to the wide swath of Castroville SUV drivers. Along with the entry-level LT trim, Chevy offers three unique editions, each adding its own functions and flair.

Go Off-Roading With the Chevy Traverse Z71

The Traverse was the first unibody Chevy vehicle to receive a Z71 edition in 2024, and it returns in 2025. This trail-ready trim begins with an advanced twin-clutch AWD system, which independently sends torque to each rear wheel as needed to improve traction. This system also adds a Terrain Mode tuned for off-road driving and Hill Descent Control for an even better experience on the road less traveled. Each Traverse Z71 has special suspension dampers that use hydraulic rebound control to soften tough paths. You also get several other treats added with Texas off-roading in mind.

• Goodyear Wrangler all-terrain tires provide more grip on any surface.
• A one-inch increase in ground clearance helps you drive over obstacles.
• An aluminum skid plate protects the engine and underbody from impacts.
• Red front tow hooks let you pull others or yourself out of trouble.

Get Sporty With the Chevy Traverse RS

Those who prefer to show off while flying over the main roads will find the 2025 Traverse RS more at their speed. You’ll draw plenty of attention with the assertive “blackout” exterior accents featuring a black front grille, body and wheel moldings, roof rails, and 22-inch gloss wheels that boost this SUV’s sporty aesthetic. It uses LED headlamps and tail lamps for added visibility and a stylish punch in all conditions. Inside the Traverse RS, you’ll find comfortable Jet Black leather-appointed seats with a sporty flat-bottom steering wheel and Torch Red accents. Other cool standard features include ventilated front seats with memory settings, a premium 10-speaker Bose sound system, active noise cancellation, Rainsense automatic wipers, a power-adjustable steering column, a 120-volt power outlet, and second-row bucket seats.

Show Sophistication in the Chevy Traverse High Country

New to the Traverse universe for 2025, the High Country brings the same luxury previously seen on the Silverado, Suburban, and Tahoe. It ditches the blackout look for chrome accents on the grill and 22-inch wheels with body-color-matching roof rails. The leather-appointed seats are available with Jet Black or Sky Cool Gray upholstery and retro bronze accents. One-Touch second-row and power-folding third-row seats make it easier to pack for adventure and get the seating you need for the whole gang to come along. The Traverse High Country also has many of the same tech and convenience features we mentioned for the Traverse RS to give you an exquisite driving experience.
