All-New 2018 Traverse... Powerful by Nature

Chevrolet Alghanim Introduces The All-New 2018 Traverse

Chevrolet Alghanim unveiled the all-new 2018 Traverse in Kuwait, bringing the completely redesigned, bold and refined vehicles, which also features advanced technologies, to help keep passengers of all ages and lifestyles comfortable and connected.

Traverse delivers what is expected to be best-in-class third-row legroom, maximum cargo room and passenger volume with an enhanced roster of available active safety features.

The all-new Traverse offers the ultimate in style and convenience for the segment, with the versatility customers need and a thoughtful, spacious design they’ll love in a midsize SUV designed to help keep them safe, comfortable and connected.

The 2018 Traverse is the fourth updated crossover or SUV from Chevrolet within a year, joining the Trax, Bolt EV and 2018 Equinox, further strengthening the brand’s crossover and SUV lineup. Chevrolet maintains its industry leadership by offering a broader, fresher lineup of SUVs and crossovers than any other manufacturer.

Bold and refined

The 2018 Traverse has a new look inspired by Chevrolet’s full-size SUVs, with purposeful proportions complemented by premium cues such as chrome accents, LED signature lighting and available D-Optic LED headlamps.

Chevrolet added a new trim level for the 2018 Traverse to offer customers more choices for a personalized appearance.

The High-Country trim features premium content and technology, including a unique interior trim featuring Loft Brown leather appointments with suede accents, 20-inch polished wheels, High Country badging, DOptic headlamps, standard twin-clutch AWD and power-fold third row seats.

The all-new Traverse blends Chevrolet’s characteristic SUV cues with the capability and refinement inside and out, offering style with a purpose.

With available seating for up to eight and a longer wheelbase than the current model, the Traverse has few peers when it comes to capacity and roominess. In fact, the new Traverse is expected to offer best-in-class passenger volume as well as max cargo room at 98.5 cubic feet (2,789 liters), while greater storage options and larger bins throughout the ergonomically optimized cabin are designed to enhance convenience and versatility.

Loading the Traverse is a breeze with a new Chevrolet bowtie logo lamp feature illuminating the ground to show where drivers need to place a foot to activate the available hands-free power liftgate.

A new split-folding second-row seat improves on the Traverse’s original Smart Slide® feature. The curbside seat is capable of tipping up and sliding forward, even with a forward-facing child seat in place, to provide open and easy access to the third row. Third-row legroom is expected to be the most spacious in the segment at 33.7 inches (856 mm).

Connected and protected

The 2018 Traverse offers purposeful technology designed to help keep passengers safe, comfortable and connected.

Chevrolet’s latest connectivity technologies include available 7- and 8-inch-diagonal MyLink infotainment systems designed to support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Passengers will have access to USB charging ports in all three seating rows, available wireless charging and steering wheelmounted phone and audio controls. Chevrolet’s Rear Seat Reminder feature is standard on all trim levels.

When it comes to helping to protect passengers, a comprehensive suite of available safety technologies and adaptive crash-avoidance features offers ease of use and added peace of mind, with new available features including:

Performance and efficiency Surround Vision

D-Optic LED headlamps (standard on High Country and Premier)

Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning

Front Pedestrian Braking Forward Collision Alert

Low and High-Speed Forward Automatic Braking.

A new 3.6L V-6 and nine-speed automatic transmission form the standard propulsion system, expected to offer nearly 10 percent more horsepower than the current model and a GM-estimated 25 mpg highway (FWD). The combination also supports an estimated 5,000-pound (2,268 kg) trailering capacity when properly equipped.

The engine features a new intelligent stop/start technology that determines the best times for fuel-saving engine-stop events, based on a variety of driving factors.

New Traction Mode Select is standard on all models and allows the driver to make real-time adjustments to the vehicle’s driving mode to account for varying road conditions. On available AWD models, it also allows the system to be completely disconnected from the rear axle, which helps save fuel and enhances refinement.

High Country’s exclusive Advanced AWD system employs twin-clutch technology that optimizes traction for every condition it encounters. It is engineered for optimal performance in wet, snowy and icy conditions, while also providing enhanced stability in dry conditions.

The all-new Traverse also enable customers to take advantage of Alghanim’s high quality services and Chevrolet Complete Care program, which entails customers to many after-sale services.
