Interior
The cargo capacity of this 80-seater is impressive as it can hold up to 115 cubic feet of stuff when the seats are folded. As mentioned it can hold up to 8 passengers in a 3-row seating arrangement. Dominating the dashboard is an 8.7” display working as the control center for the infotainment system. Not only does the Traverse see a lot of cargo space, it also has ample head and leg-room.
Tech
In terms of technological extras that you can purchase you can get a wireless headset, a rear seat entertainment system, a remote start kit a tablet holder or even a portable music player. You can also add 4G LTE with a built in Wi-Fi hot spot.
Engine
The Traverse comes with a standard 3.6L V6 Gas engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission. The estimated EOA rating comes in at only 15/ city and 22 highway MPG which is pretty low for any class. The SUV does have a 281 horsepower ability and does drive like a car rather than an 8-seater though which is definitely a plus for a lot of drivers.
