2013 Chevrolet Traverse Specs, Review, Details, User Manual Pdf- While reviewers wish the Traverse had a bit more power, they say its V6 engine is adequate for most buyers. Auto critics applaud the hefty crossover’s car-like handling and comfortable ride as well. According to test drivers, the Traverse’s six-speed automatic transmission shifts fairly smoothly, though one reviewer noticed a delay in downshifts, which could be a bit rough. The Traverse is rated at an EPA-estimated 17/24 mpg city/highway in front-wheel drive models, which is solid for the class. All-wheel drive is optional on all trims and only slightly lowers the Traverse’s fuel economy.

Inside, the Traverse has been revised for 2013, and reviewers appreciate the improved materials. Critics think the first and second rows are comfortable and supportive, even on long trips.

The Traverse can be equipped with Chevrolet’s MyLink infotainment system that allows Bluetooth audio streaming from Pandora. The Traverse has more overall cargo space than some large SUVs.
Other SUVs to Consider
If you’re seeking a midsize SUV that can handle rugged terrain, consider the Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Grand Cherokee combines a comfortable interior with good off-road performance, according to reviewers. While the Grand Cherokee can’t quite match the Traverse’s safety or reliability ratings, it has comparable fuel economy. Keep in mind that the Grand Cherokee only seats five.

The Buick Enclave is a solid alternative to the Traverse, with a more upscale interior and plenty of standard features like tri-zone climate control and rear parking sensors. Reviewers say the Enclave has a comfortable ride and adequate power. Since the Enclave shares a platform with the Traverse, their reliability, safety and fuel economy ratings are similar, but the Traverse has slightly more cargo room.
