2027 Chevrolet Traverse in Okarche, OK — Complete Buyer’s Guide

By Jason Leck, General Manager  |  June 2, 2026

The 2027 Chevrolet Traverse is Chevy’s midsize three-row SUV — the family hauler that slots between the compact Equinox and the full-size Tahoe — and for Okarche-area families it hits a genuine sweet spot: room for up to eight, a strong turbocharged engine, a best-in-class cargo hold, and a starting price that held steady at $40,800 for 2027. This guide covers everything you need to choose and buy the right one.

Here’s our honest thesis: the Traverse isn’t the most fuel-efficient three-row (hybrid rivals win there), but it leads its class on horsepower, maximum cargo and value — and for 2027 it makes two genuinely useful features standard on more trims, with the trailering package now standard across the line and Super Cruise standard on the RS and High Country.

Below we break down trims and pricing, seating and cargo, towing, fuel economy, the standout tech, how the Traverse stacks up against the Honda Pilot and Toyota Grand Highlander, and how to buy one in Okarche without the pressure. See current Traverse inventory at Carter Chevrolet →

Overview: What Makes the 2027 Traverse Different

The Traverse rides on the long-wheelbase version of GM’s C1 platform (121.0-inch wheelbase), redesigned for 2024, which gives it a planted highway ride and a roomy cabin. Where many midsize three-rows force a compromise between people space and cargo space, the Traverse offers both: a third row average adults can actually use, plus 22.9 cubic feet behind it. Every trim shares the same 328-hp turbocharged four-cylinder and eight-speed automatic, so the lineup is about how you want it equipped, not how fast it goes.

For 2027, Chevrolet kept the formula and sharpened the value: the LT’s base price held at $40,800, the trailering package became standard on every trim, and hands-free Super Cruise is now standard on the two top trims. The Z71 returns as an all-wheel-drive-only, off-road-flavored option for buyers who leave the pavement.

2027 Traverse Trim Levels and Pricing

LT

The value leader and the only Traverse that seats eight (with the available second-row bench). Standard heated front seats, heated steering wheel, tri-zone climate, wireless phone projection, adaptive cruise and the full safety suite make it well-equipped at $40,800.

Z71

The off-road trim, AWD-only for 2027, with Advanced Twin-Clutch all-wheel drive, Hill Descent Control, all-terrain tires, recovery hooks and 7.76 inches of ground clearance.

RS and High Country

The two top trims are similarly priced and richly equipped, both adding standard Super Cruise, Bose 12-speaker audio, HD Surround Vision, ventilated front seats and power-folding rear rows. The RS goes sporty and blacked-out; the High Country goes bright and luxurious as the 2027 range-topper. See our full trim-by-trim comparison →

Key Features and Technology

Infotainment and Connectivity

The standard 17.7-inch diagonal touchscreen runs Google built-in (Maps, Assistant and Play), pairs wirelessly with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and is backed by an 11-inch digital driver display. Wireless charging, multiple USB-C ports, a Wi-Fi hotspot capability and SiriusXM with 360L round it out.

Driver Assistance and Super Cruise

Chevy Safety Assist is standard across the line, and — notably — so is Adaptive Cruise Control, along with automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, blind-zone steering assist and reverse automatic braking. Super Cruise hands-free driving is standard on the RS and High Country and available on the LT and Z71. Read our plain-English Super Cruise and Z71 explainer →

Towing, Capability and Drivetrain

For 2027, every Traverse leaves the factory ready to tow its full 5,000-pound rating because the trailering package is now standard equipment. That’s enough for the boat, the small camper or the utility trailer most families own — though a loaded horse trailer or large fifth-wheel needs a truck like the Tahoe or Silverado. The Z71’s twin-clutch AWD adds traction at the boat ramp and on gravel. See our full towing breakdown, including what you can actually pull →

Fuel Economy and Cost to Own

The turbocharged four-cylinder is more efficient than the old V6, returning an expected 22 mpg combined (FWD) on regular fuel — competitive for a gas-only midsize three-row, though hybrid rivals beat it. With a 19.4-gallon (FWD) or 21.7-gallon (AWD) tank, range runs to about 427–456 miles, which means fewer stops on long Oklahoma drives.

How the 2027 Traverse Compares to the Competition

The Traverse’s case is power, space and value: it out-muscles the Pilot’s 285-hp V6 and the Grand Highlander’s 265-hp base engine, carries more cargo than either, and undercuts both on price. Where it gives ground is efficiency — a Grand Highlander Hybrid can reach about 36 mpg combined — and long-term reliability track record, where Toyota and Honda have decades of data and this Traverse generation is still building its own.
