2014 Chevrolet Traverse review

1. Robust performance 

The 2014 Chevrolet Traverse’s 3.6L V6 provides excellent power, whether pulling your trailer or carpooling kids to baseball practice. LS and LT trims have 281 hp and 266 lb-ft of torque, while the LTZ trim features twin exhaust outlets that increase output to 288 hp and 270 lb-ft. The engine pairs with a six-speed automatic transmission with standard front-wheel drive or available all-wheel drive if you want an SUV that can navigate slick conditions. With AWD, the 2014 Traverse can fly from zero to 60 mph in less than 8.1 seconds, making it very light on its feet for a large crossover SUV. With an estimated towing capacity of 5,200 lbs when properly equipped, the 2014 Chevrolet Traverse can haul your boat or camper on summer adventures. 

2. Ride comfort 

The 2014 Chevrolet Traverse offers a smooth, confident, and quiet highway ride, ensuring a serene driving experience for you and your passengers. Whether cruising on the open road or navigating city streets, this spacious SUV instills confidence with its planted feel around turns, providing stability and control. Maneuvering in tight spaces is effortless thanks to its responsive steering and agile handling. Plus, with ample room for passengers and cargo, the Traverse makes every journey pleasurable. 

3. Spacious interior 

The 2014 Chevrolet Traverse offers ample space for eight passengers and cargo, ensuring comfort and convenience for all occupants. Front-row passengers enjoy generous head- and legroom, with 40.4 inches and 41.3 inches, respectively, and the second-row sliding seats allow passengers to adjust their seating for added comfort. Even with all seats in place, the Traverse boasts impressive cargo capacity, accommodating up to 24.4 cu-ft of luggage. Folding down the rear seats expands cargo space to 70.3 cu-ft, and stowing the second row further increases capacity to a cavernous 116.3 cu-ft, making it ideal for family outings or hauling gear.
