2022 Chevy Traverse Sits Atop Crossover Lineup

The 2022 Chevy Traverse sits at the top of Chevy’s crossover family lineup with seating for seven or eight people and a healthy dose of newly available safety gear! Available in the LS, LT, RS, Premier, and High Country versions, all now come with automatic emergency braking and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The 3.6-liter V6 combines with a 9-speed automatic to offer up a ride that is great off the line and equipped with plenty of room and comfortably padded chairs. You’ll be enjoying an abundance of cargo space and nearly a hundred cubic feet of storage behind the front seats. Automatic emergency braking is now standard for all models, and a surround-view camera system and a rear camera mirror are other great additives on the safety front. 

Automatic headlights, active lane control, and automatic emergency braking as standard all make the Traverse a Top Safety Pick Award for The CarConnection.com, providing a strong sense of protection for you and your family on the road every day. The LT trim is one of the sweet spots in the lineup with its all-wheel drive, power driver seat, second-row captain’s chairs, and better cloth, with the availability of power tailgate, heated seats, leather upholstery, and parking sensors. You’ll also be getting 18 mpg city, 27 highway, and 21 combined, which is stellar for an eight-seat SUV. 

With the capability to navigate snowy roads and ample space to make road trips comfortable for the whole family, this cabin is also so quiet you won’t believe the engine is on! Our class-leading limited warranty covers 3 years or 36,000 miles, the powertrain warranty covers 5 years or 60,000 miles, and complimentary maintenance is covered by us here in our award-winning service department on your first visit! With a starting price that is more affordable than its rivals and a 5,000-lb towing ability, the Traverse remains the ideal SUV.

2021 Trailblazer Activ Jumps To June's Demands With Stellar Mileage, Class-Leading Urban Ability

When the Chevy Blazer came roaring back on the scene two years ago here at Chuck Hutton Chevy of Memphis, it arrived as an SUV that did not quite boast the off-road capabilities as its predecessor, but evolved into a savvy and sharp-edged daily driver. The 2021 Chevy Trailblazer boasts a bit squarer of a stance, and fulfills a comfortable slot just in between the Trax and Equinox to provide a capable and energetic rival for the rock-crawling Jeep Compass and frequently-braggin' Bronco Sport!

This 155-horsepower front-wheel-drive number now boasts increased ground clearance up to 7.5 inches on front-wheel-drive Activs and 8 inches with all-wheel-drive, situating it in the same size rung as the Jeep Trailhawk. The AWD system provides satisfactory handling, it grips adequately during cornering and offers a precise sense of placement as only a slightly smaller model can. Plus, the Activ has already turned many heads due to its keenly-lifted profile and ideally knobby tires.

Jetskis, ATVs, and camping gear all are items that make a trip more fun, and after the last year, who doesn't want to experience a high dose of the tranquility the outdoors can provide? The Trailblazer Activ can provide the ultimate in recreational rebound time with the towing package and its 1.000-lb towing ability, which is enough for a pop-up trailer full of toys to let the rock climbing, trout fishing, or inner balance session begin!

Inside you'll find a soft-touch dashboard insert and cloth trim on the door panels, and enough rear-seat legroom to feel as if you can spread out when the urge comes to experience a completely new urban surrounding. It was only around 5 years ago when safety features required a hefty upgrade, and buyers were still thrilled to put the best and most brilliant engineer's technology to work.

The Trailblazer now comes standard with automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and backup camera, with the option to add goodies such as wireless charging and Bose premium audio to bump things up an upper-end and exciting notch. We encourage you to look at baits and lure, put the Ipad down for a minute, and plan your next journey “near yet far”: this year's Trailblazer has what it takes to allow for a much-needed fresh air embracing disappearance!

KBB Fall Showdown: 2019 Chevy Traverse Pitted Against 2019 Subaru Ascent

After dropping nearly 350 pounds and gaining a very large amount of passenger and cargo space inside, the Traverse is simply one of the best offerings out there in the “nearing full-size” hauler category for 2019. Sporting greatly improved looks, much better fuel economy, and many optional family-friendly features, it also has the excellent trait of a 5000-lb maximum tow capacity. We know that when customers first walk on the lot at Chuck Hutton, they may have already looked at a model that is known as a fierce competitor, so we really need to have our ducks in a row as far as knowing how they both stack up.

The experts at Kelley Blue Book were good enough to feature this exact rivalry between the two over the past week, showing just how the Traverse measures up compared to the Subaru Ascent. Many out there are appreciating the Ascent for its comfort, safety, sportiness, and practicality, and we think this is a pretty fair contestant to throw into the ring. A wide range of engines and trim levels that can pretty much accomplish anything you want are the main advantages that the testing team noticed right off the bat with the Traverse. The Traverse is the largest 3-row crossover in the Chevy lineup, and the very powerful 3.6-Liter V6 engine is a well-honed asset.

There has been more storage added in the Traverse directly under the infotainment screen, and the interior has been improved with a sliding second-row seat. The KBB experts recognized that if you “yank the badges” off the interior, you will be led to believe that you are situated in a higher-priced model. The Ascent is Subaru's first entry into the 3-row category, and the recipe is not at all shabby: a 4-cylinder engine, comfort, great safety features, and true versatility abound with this offering. A decent choice for the price, the major shortfall is that it does not quite have the full list of engine offerings that the Traverse rallies across the finish line within its arsenal.

Both vehicles have the 5000-pound tow rating, and come with Apple CarPlay, as well as Android Auto. It is nice that the Ascent flaunts USB ports for every row, and a whopping total of 19 cup holders. The Ascent ranked high with the KBB staff for simply being a ride ranking high in the comfort factor, but the combination of tech features, lavish interior, genius storage, and family-friendly features ultimately made the Traverse the better purchase choice! We are also proud of the 5-star overall safety rating from the NHTSA, and you'll immediately notice the benefits from an extra two inches of headroom in the 3^rd row, as well as a grand total of 20 more cubic feet than the Ascent in EPA Cargo Volume!
