2027 Chevrolet Traverse Trims and Pricing: Four Trims, Seven Configurations
The 2027 Chevrolet Traverse comes in four trims. Chevrolet sells them in seven trim-and-drivetrain combinations. Every one runs the same turbocharged 2.5L engine, rated at 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque. Every one seats seven as standard. Every one tows up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. Pricing runs from $42,795 MSRP for the front-wheel-drive LT to $60,095 MSRP for the all-wheel-drive High Country.
Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for new vehicles includes manufacturer and distributor options and delivery, process and handling fees, which may be subject to change at any time. MSRP excludes taxes, title, license and dealer installed options, accessories, fees and charges. MSRP is not the dealer advertised price. Dealer price will vary. The dealer sets the final price.
Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner’s manual and the vehicle’s door-jamb label for specific capacities.
That structure matters more than it sounds. The engine never changes as you climb the ladder. Neither does the tow rating. So choosing a Traverse is a question of equipment, drivetrain and style. A family in the entry LT gets the same engine as a family in the High Country.
2027 Traverse Pricing Across All Seven Configurations
The lineup spans a $17,300 MSRP range. Front-wheel drive is standard on the LT, RS and High Country. All-wheel drive is available on each for another $2,000 MSRP. The Z71 is sold with all-wheel drive only. Prices below are published by Chevrolet.
| Trim | FWD MSRP* | AWD MSRP* | Defining Content |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT | $42,795* | $44,795* | 17.7-inch touchscreen; 8-passenger seating available |
| Z71 | Not offered | $51,095* | All-terrain tires, Hill Descent Control |

The LT is the most affordable way into the lineup. It is also the only trim offered with eight-passenger seating. The Z71 is the off-road choice. The RS and High Country sit close together at the top. They split the difference between sporty and refined rather than between well-equipped and better-equipped.
Powertrain, EPA-Estimated Fuel Economy and Towing
Every 2027 Traverse pairs the turbocharged 2.5L engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Families notice the torque most. It arrives early and makes freeway merges easy on the routes connecting Riverside, Ontario, Fontana and Eastvale.
| Specification | 2027 Chevrolet Traverse |
|---|---|
| Engine | 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder |
| Horsepower | 328 hp |
| Torque | 326 lb-ft |
| Transmission | 8-speed automatic |
| Maximum towing | 5,000 lbs, properly equipped |
| EPA-estimated fuel economy | EPA-estimated 20 city / 26 highway / 22 combined (FWD); EPA-estimated 20 city / 24 highway / 21 combined (AWD) |
Front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive?
The EPA-estimated efficiency gap is small. Front-wheel-drive models are EPA-estimated at 22 mpg combined. All-wheel-drive models return an EPA-estimated 21 mpg combined. If your driving stays on suburban streets and freeway commutes, front-wheel drive is the practical pick. All-wheel drive earns its $2,000 MSRP for families who head toward the San Bernardino Mountains on weekends. It also adds confidence in wet weather.

EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.
Towing capacity by trim
Towing is the rare spec that does not vary. With the included trailering equipment, the 2027 Traverse tows up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. Hitch Guidance with Hitch View is standard on every trim, which makes lining up a trailer much easier. A small boat headed to Lake Perris is well within range. So is a pop-up camper bound for the mountains.
Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner’s manual and the vehicle’s door-jamb label for specific capacities.
What Separates the Four Trims
LT
The LT anchors the lineup. Standard equipment includes:
- 17.7-inch touchscreen and 11-inch digital driver display
- Wireless phone charging
Midnight and Sport Editions are available on the LT. They add blackout styling without the step up to the RS.
Z71
The Z71 is the off-road entry. It adds all-terrain tires and Hill Descent Control. That gives it a different capability profile from the road-focused trims.
RS
The RS goes dark and athletic. Blackout treatment covers the grille, roof rails and badging. It rides on 22-inch high-gloss black-painted aluminum wheels. Super Cruise, HD Surround Vision and a 12-speaker Bose audio system are standard, along with synthetic leather upholstery and ventilated front seats.
High Country
The High Country receives Chevrolet’s evolved High Country treatment for 2027. The 2027 Traverse is the first Chevrolet model to carry the redesigned expression of the trim. A new High Country badge sits on the front doors and liftgate. The grille and headlamp accents wear a Tritan Satin finish. The wheels are 22-inch high-gloss black machined-face aluminum. Inside, Jet Black seats pair with Natural Tan accents, Natural Tan edged seatbelts, debossed first-row headrests and real wood decor. Super Cruise, HD Surround Vision and the Bose system are standard here as well. Chevrolet detailed the redesign in its August 2026 announcement.
Standard technology by trim
| Feature | LT | Z71 | RS | High Country |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Super Cruise | Optional | Optional | Standard | Standard |
| HD Surround Vision | Optional | Optional | Standard | Standard |
| Bose 12-speaker audio | Optional | Optional | Standard | Standard |
| 17.7-inch touchscreen | Standard | Standard | Standard | Standard |
On the LT and Z71, Super Cruise and the Bose system come through the Enhanced Driving Package. HD Surround Vision comes through the Driver Confidence Package. Both packages are standard on the RS and High Country. A panoramic sunroof is available on the Z71, RS and High Country as a standalone option and on the LT through the Sun and Wheel Package, but it is not standard on any trim. Trillium Green Metallic is available on all four trims for 2027.

Certain 2027 model-year vehicles, trims, features and equipment described here are newly announced and may not yet be available at the dealership. Preproduction models may be shown. Specifications, equipment, pricing and availability are subject to change. Confirm availability and equipment on a specific vehicle with the dealership before purchase.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Chevrolet equips every 2027 Traverse with more than 20 standard safety and driver assistance features. Chevy Safety Assist is standard across the lineup. It bundles six systems:
- Automatic emergency braking
- Front Pedestrian and Bicycle Braking
- Forward collision alert
- Lane keep assist with lane departure warning
- IntelliBeam automatic high beams
- Following distance indicator
Blind Zone Steering Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Braking and the Safety Alert Seat are also standard. Blind Zone Steering Assist goes further than a conventional blind spot warning. It adds a gentle steering input when it detects a vehicle alongside you.
Super Cruise
Super Cruise is the headline driver assistance feature. It is standard on the RS and High Country and optional on the LT and Z71. It allows hands-free driving on compatible mapped highways and includes a three-year OnStar Super Cruise plan.
Driver-assistance and advanced safety systems are supplemental aids and are not substitutes for safe and attentive driving. Availability, operation, and effectiveness vary by trim and equipment and depend on factors including road, weather, traffic, and vehicle condition. Always keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. See your owner’s manual for system limitations and details.
Warranty and Included Maintenance
| Coverage | Term | What It Covers |

How the 2027 Traverse Compares in the Three-Row Segment
The Traverse competes against the Honda Pilot, Kia Telluride and Toyota Highlander. Its case rests on three things. The powertrain is uniform, so every configuration makes 328 horsepower. The 5,000-pound tow rating is available at every price point. And maximum cargo volume reaches what Chevrolet identifies as a best-in-class 98 cubic feet with the second and third rows folded, based on the latest available competitive data.
Super Cruise is the genuine outlier. Hands-free highway driving is a General Motors technology. It is standard on two of the four Traverse trims for 2027.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 2027 Traverse need all-wheel drive in Southern California, or is front-wheel drive enough?
For most families, front-wheel drive is enough. If your driving is limited to suburban streets, school runs and freeway commutes, the front-wheel-drive trims are fully capable. They also deliver an EPA-estimated 22 mpg combined against an EPA-estimated 21 for all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive becomes a meaningful upgrade if you head toward the San Bernardino Mountains regularly or want added confidence in wet weather. The Z71 adds all-terrain tires and Hill Descent Control for more serious off-pavement use. The $2,000 MSRP difference between a front-wheel-drive LT and an all-wheel-drive LT is the practical entry point for that decision.
Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for new vehicles includes manufacturer and distributor options and delivery, process and handling fees, which may be subject to change at any time.

What is the maximum towing capacity of the 2027 Traverse, and which trims support it?
With the included trailering equipment, the 2027 Traverse tows up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. Hitch Guidance with Hitch View is standard on every trim.
Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner’s manual and the vehicle’s door-jamb label for specific capacities.
How many passengers does the 2027 Traverse seat?
Seven-passenger seating with second-row captain’s chairs is standard across the lineup. An eight-passenger configuration with a second-row bench is available on the LT. The LT is the only trim that offers it.
Which trim is the best value for a family that wants the most technology?
The RS delivers the strongest technology package below the High Country. It includes standard Super Cruise, HD Surround Vision, the 12-speaker Bose audio system, 22-inch wheels, ventilated front seats and synthetic leather upholstery. The High Country adds the new Tritan Satin exterior treatment, the Jet Black and Natural Tan interior and real wood decor. With front-wheel drive, the two are separated by $300 MSRP. That makes the High Country easy to justify if you prefer the more finished cabin.
Does the 2027 Traverse come with a panoramic sunroof?
A panoramic sunroof is available on the Z71, RS and High Country as a standalone option and on the LT through the Sun and Wheel Package, but it is not standard on any trim. Factory-ordered and dealer-stocked configurations vary. Confirm availability on specific in-stock units before you buy.
