The 2013 Chevrolet Traverse has a new, athletic exterior design, complemented by a more expressive front that introduces a new face for Chevrolet crossover utilities.
The front features a new shape supported by a powerdome hood, a three-bar upper and two-bar lower grille design, new lamps, chrome accents around the grille and fog lamps, and sculpted front corners similar to the Malibu sedan. The new design captures the overall character of Chevys new car lineup, for a consistent family resemblance.
At the rear, redesigned lamps and the license plate pocket are positioned in the new liftgate for a sportier look.
Efficiency in the Chevrolet Traverse comes from a technically advanced 3.6 L V-6 with fuel-saving direct injection technology and continuously variable valve timing. It is mated with a six-speed automatic transmission with improved shift feel that results in more confident acceleration when the driver needs additional power to enter the highway or pass another motorist.
The engine is SAE-certified at 288 horsepower (215 Nm) and 270 lb.-ft. of torque (366 Nm) with dual exhaust (281 hp 210 kW and 266 lb.-ft. 361 Nm with single exhaust). Its direct injection fuel delivery helps produce power similar to many V-8 engines and uses regular unleaded gasoline.
For 2013, Chevrolet Traverse is offered in LS, LT and LTZ models (with two LT packages : 1LT and 2LT), in both front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations. It is built in Lansing, Mich.
