2025 Chevy Traverse Trim Guide: Which SUV Should Be Your Pick?

When active professionals and families look for an SUV, the Chevy Traverse should always be on their shortlist. This three-row crossover combines spacious seating for up to eight people, the latest performance and infotainment technology, and a dash of adventure to be your preferred ride seven days a week. At North Park Chevrolet, we have the 2025 Chevy Traverse for sale, so drivers in Southern Texas and beyond can enjoy its mix of comfort, practicality, and fun.

The question is, which Chevy Traverse should you get? The 2025 Chevy Traverse features four trims with distinct characteristics depending on whether you want a sporty, sophisticated, or rugged design. Choosing the correct trim will give you the best experience from sunrise to sunset—and maybe beyond if you enjoy the nightlife. Our 2025 Chevy Traverse trim guide explores the highlights of each option, letting you make the right decision based on your needs, desires, and budget.

The 2025 Chevy Traverse trim lineup shares several important characteristics. This SUV is powered by a 2.5L turbocharged engine that delivers 328 hp and 326 lb-ft of torque, balancing pep with efficiency. Most trims are available in FWD, which gets an EPA-estimated 27 MPG on the highway, or AWD to add grip in wet weather. The Traverse also has 97.6 cu.ft. of storage space and a 5,000 lb towing capacity to bring all your cargo anywhere. Even with these standard features, though, each trim forges a unique identity that will appeal to different audiences.

2025 Chevy Traverse LT: A Budget-Friendly, Tech-Savvy Ride

As the entry-level 2025 Traverse, the LT trim shows that budget-conscious SUV buyers can still get a great vehicle. It has all the essentials and then some for getting around the city, including Chevy’s Ride and Handling independent suspension for smooth rides, an automatic power liftgate for loading gear, LED headlights for great visibility, and a standard Convenience Package that includes heated front seats, remote start, and a heated and wrapped steering wheel. A Trailering Package is included with a factory-installed hitch and cover, Hitch Guidance, a high-capacity alternator, and heavy-duty engine cooling for when you need to get away.

When it comes to tech, it’s hard to beat the goodies-per-dollar in the Traverse LT. It includes a colossal 17.7-inch infotainment touchscreen with Google built-in, SiriusXM radio, a wireless charging pad, a Wi-Fi hotspot, OnStar, front and rear USB charging ports, and a six-speaker sound system. The customizable 11-inch digital gauge cluster provides all the essential info, and you have an eight-way power driver’s seat plus automatic three-zone climate control for comfort. The Traverse LT also has a full complement of standard driver assistance features, including:

• Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking
• Forward Collision Alert
• Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
• Rear Park Assist
• Following Distance Indicator
• IntelliBeam automatic high beams
• Blind Zone Steering Assist

Beyond this, you can add Super Cruise hands-free driving and several other features. This safety tech is part of why the 2025 Traverse is an IIHS Top Safety Pick in all trims, protecting you and your loved ones wherever you drive.

2025 Chevy Traverse Z71: Rugged Capability and Style

Sometimes, you need a break from the highways, byways, and city avenues. When that happens, the rugged 2025 Traverse Z71 will be up to the challenge. It features the legendary Chevy Z71 package with special off-road dampers and all-terrain tires mounted on black machined-face aluminum wheels to grip loose surfaces. This is the only 2025 Traverse trim offered exclusively in AWD—and it’s upgraded to an advanced twin-clutch system that’s tuned for off-road conditions. A Terrain Mode is included to adjust the drivetrain for when you head to remote areas.

Beyond this, Chevy adds an inch of ground clearance and an improved approach angle for getting over rocks. There is also an aluminum skid plate to protect the drivetrain, red tow hooks to pull yourself out of trouble, hill descent control for safer trips down mountains, and stain-resistant EvoTex seat trim for a cleaner interior. A unique exterior makeover includes gloss black roof side rails and other accents. Add the Z71 Adventure Package to get roof cross rails, molded assist steps, and all-black wheels for even more stylish functionality.

2025 Chevy Traverse High Country: Three-Row Sophistication

New for 2025, the Traverse High Country brings unprecedented elegance to the lineup. It drives and feels bigger in every way—thanks in no small part to the eye-catching 22-inch black wheels that improve handling. The High Country also receives all LED lighting with special headlamp animations and turn signal sequences. Rainsense automatic windshield wipers with a heated park further boost visibility, and the side mirrors are auto-dimming and power-folding. Chrome-strip door handles, bright upper door moldings, and black body side moldings complete the exterior makeover.

Inside the 2025 Traverse High Country, Chevy provides an even more immersive experience. It has a premium Bose 12-speaker sound system for concert-quality audio, active noise cancellation to block out buzz, and Driver Attention Assist to prevent distractions. Three years of Super Cruise hands-free driving and OnStar Digital Services are included to guide you along Texas highways. The Driver Confidence Package also becomes standard with Traffic Sign Recognition, Rear Pedestrian Alert, and HD Surround Vision safety features, plus a 120-volt interior power outlet. Finally, owners receive a power-adjustable steering column, cozy second-row bucket seats, a 60/40 power-folding third-row bench, and leather-appointed seat trim. The High Country does lose the twin-clutch all-wheel drive system of the Z71, but this is a small price to pay for all the other amenities.

2025 Chevy Traverse RS: Bold and Sporty

As the top trim, the 2025 Traverse RS takes the best on-road aspects of the other trims, adds a few more, and blends them into the ultimate everyday three-row crossover. Every premium feature we’ve mentioned is here, from the leather seats and Bose sound system to the all-LED lights and 22-inch gloss black wheels. It’s the crowning achievement of the Traverse’s practical functionality to the point where it borders on a luxury vehicle.

Style-wise, the Chevy Traverse RS has the athletic look of an SUV ready to travel long and far, whether that’s to a school soccer tournament or a summer vacation destination. A sporty black front fascia, body-color door handles, black wheels and rocker moldings, and a flat-bottom steering wheel emphasize the RS badge. This stands for “Rally Sport” and has a special place in Chevy history, which the 2025 Traverse carries on. For an added touch, the Jet Black leather upholstery has eye-catching Torch Red accents.
