Larger Than Life 2017 Traverse FeaturesFor some people, bigger is truly better. Whether you have a large family or simply want to command respect on the road, there are many large vehicles on the market to choose from. The new 2017 Traverse is one of the largest available and is an excellent option if you want a vehicle that is big in every way possible. Here are three larger-than-life features of the new 2017 Traverse.

1. Seats Eight People

One of the main larger-than-life features of the Traverse is its ability to seat eight people, including the driver. The seats in the second-row can slide for greater versatility. If you have some passengers who are taller, you can slide these seats to give these passengers more room.

The driver and the passenger in the front will enjoy plenty of space in the 2017 Traverse. Even on long drives, the seats will offer enough support. You will not have to deal with a lack of leg room or head room. As with most SUVs that have three rows, the seats in the third row are ideal for children. However, shorter passengers can also sit comfortably in the seats of the third row. Due to the large doors and the sliding seats in the second row, it is easy for passengers to reach the third row seats.

2. Cargo Space

Cargo space is one of the main strengths of the Traverse. Behind the seats in the third row, there is 24.4 cubic feet of cargo space. Therefore, the cargo space of the Traverse is one of the largest in this vehicle’s class. Behind the seats in the third row, there is 70.3 cubic feet. Behind the seats of the first row, there is a whopping 116.3 cubic feet. If you need to transport many items on a regular basis, the 2017 Traverse is the ideal vehicle for you.

Without folding any of the seats in the vehicle, you can store a bookcase in the back. You will be able to fit a small fridge in the back of the car if you fold the seats in the first row. The power liftgate makes it incredibly easy to reach the cargo hold.

3. Great Performance

The 2017 Traverse’s performance is also stellar. The engine of this vehicle is a powerful 3.6-liter V6. Thanks to this powerful engine, the Traverse produces 281-hp. Chevrolet paired a six-speed automatic transmission with the V6 engine. Even if you have plenty of cargo and passengers in the back, you will have no problem driving the Traverse for long periods.

All the power under the Traverse’s hood will ensure that you and your passengers get where you need to go. Passing speeds and accelerating on the highway is not difficult with the Traverse. You will be happy to know that the power delivery of this vehicle is also very smooth. However, you should not expect record-breaking speeds from this vehicle.

The 2017 Traverse is likely everything you want and more if you want a large vehicle. Not only does the 2017 Traverse hold eight passengers, but it also has plenty of cargo space and great performance.
