The 2025 Chevrolet Traverse Just Got a Massive Makeover — Here’s What’s New

For years, the Chevrolet Traverse has quietly been one of the best-kept secrets in the midsize SUV segment. If you’re considering a family SUV, here’s why the 2025 Traverse might be the most underrated option this year.

All-New Exterior That Turns Heads

The 2025 Traverse has undergone a complete transformation. It now carries a more aggressive, truck-like design with a squarer stance, new LED lighting signatures, and a commanding front grille that gives it true presence on the road.

The biggest visual surprise? The debut of the ZR2 off-road trim, complete with skid plates, lifted suspension, and all-terrain tires — a first for the Traverse lineup.


Bigger Space, Smarter Cabin

As always, space is where the Traverse shines. With three rows of adult-friendly seating and class-leading cargo capacity, this SUV is built for real-life families. Whether you’re carpooling or road-tripping, there’s room for everyone and everything.

Up to 98 cubic feet of cargo space, one of the best in the segment

The new cabin redesign introduces a 17.7-inch infotainment screen — yes, nearly 18 inches — paired with an 11-inch digital driver display. Sleek, intuitive, and ultra-modern, it’s a major tech upgrade over previous models.


Turbocharged Power with Efficiency

Chevy has swapped out the V6 engine for a 2.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder, delivering 315 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque — that’s more torque than before, with better fuel economy.

Pair it with standard front-wheel drive or upgrade to twin-clutch AWD for slippery conditions. Towing capacity remains strong at up to 5,000 pounds, making it a capable hauler for boats or trailers.


Built-in Smart Tech and Safety

The 2025 Traverse comes packed with standard and available tech including:

- Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™

- Hands-free liftgate and panoramic moonroof

- Heated and ventilated seats

- Teen Driver tech for safe learning

- Chevy Safety Assist (standard on all trims)

Upper trims even get GM’s Super Cruise™, the brand’s advanced hands-free highway driving system — a feature rarely found in this price bracket.


Price vs. Competition

Despite the premium upgrades, Chevy has kept pricing competitive, especially considering the standard tech and size advantages:

A Real SUV for Real Families

If you're tired of small “crossovers” being marketed as family vehicles, the 2025 Traverse is a refreshing return to what a real SUV should be: large, safe, capable, and filled with smart, usable features.

Its new off-road trims make it more versatile than ever, and its tech upgrades put it years ahead of many competitors.
