What Standard Features Come on the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse LT Trim?

November 9th, 2026 by

The 2027 Chevrolet Traverse LT trim comes standard with a 17.7-inch infotainment touchscreen, an 11-inch digital driver display, Google built-in, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless device charging, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, tri-zone automatic climate control, an AutoSense power liftgate, and over 20 standard safety technologies including Blind Zone Steering Assist and Automatic Emergency Braking.

Designed to strike an ideal balance between everyday family utility and interior refinement, the Traverse LT delivers modern convenience across all three rows. Second-row Smart Slide seats shift forward at the press of a handle, clearing a wide path to the third row even when a forward-facing child seat is installed. Seating for seven passengers with second-row captain’s chairs is standard, while an available second-row 60/40 bench seat expands total capacity to eight passengers.

Commuters traveling through the rolling terrain and agricultural routes around Rural Hall appreciate how the standard AutoSense power liftgate recognizes the key fob as you approach, opening hands-free when your arms are full of groceries or gear. Standard exterior accents include roof rails, heated power side mirrors, and 18-inch aluminum wheels that provide a smooth, composed ride on highway pavement and rough back roads alike.

For local drivers looking to explore this mid-size three-row SUV in person, our Winston-Salem showroom location offers full access to the lineup, or you can give our team a quick call to check current vehicle availability.

How Does the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse LT Perform in Turbocharged Power, Fuel Economy, and Towing?

The 2027 Chevrolet Traverse LT is powered by a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine generating 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. EPA fuel economy ratings are 20 mpg city / 26 mpg highway with standard front-wheel drive and 20 mpg city / 24 mpg highway with available all-wheel drive, while standard factory trailering equipment enables a maximum towing rating of 5,000 pounds.

This turbocharged powertrain delivers strong low-end torque, giving the Traverse LT responsive throttle reaction when merging onto busy highways or hauling a full cabin of passengers. Front-wheel drive comes standard for optimal highway efficiency, while the available all-wheel-drive system actively monitors wheel slippage to distribute power between the front and rear axles during heavy rain or loose road conditions.

Towing capability is built directly into the LT trim’s foundation. Standard trailering technology includes Hitch Guidance with dynamic alignment lines on the rear camera display, Hitch View for close-up coupler alignment, and an integrated Trailering App that helps drivers run trailer light checks and, with available trailer tire pressure sensors, monitor tire pressures on attached trailers.

When local shoppers compare powertrain options on our lot, our team points out how the standard 5,000 pounds towing limit comfortably handles ski boats, small campers, or utility trailers without forcing buyers into higher-tier trim levels.

What Interior Amenities, Seating Options, and Tech Features Define the 2027 Traverse LT Cabin?

Inside the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse LT, passengers enjoy premium amenities like tri-zone climate control, heated front seats, and a spacious cabin designed for comfort and convenience.

High-grade cloth upholstery comes standard inside the Traverse LT, providing durable comfort for daily driving. Families looking for simplified interior maintenance can opt for Evotex synthetic leather seating surfaces, which combine soft texture with water-resistant durability. The dashboard architecture is centered around the massive diagonal touchscreen, angled slightly toward the driver for effortless reach.

Digital connectivity relies on Google built-in compatibility, bringing native Google Maps navigation, voice assistance through Google Assistant, and app downloads directly to the center console without requiring a plugged-in smartphone. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration also come standard, allowing driver profiles to sync instantly upon entering the cabin.

Active safety equipment on the Traverse LT includes over 20 standard driver-assist features. Systems like Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and Blind Zone Steering Assist monitor surroundings constantly to help prevent accidents in crowded parking lots or fast-moving traffic.

For parents coordinating suburban after-school carpools around Walkertown, multiple second-row USB charging ports ensure passenger devices stay charged between sports practices and weekend events. Keeping your vehicle’s safety sensors and climate systems maintained is straightforward when you schedule routine certified service online with our factory-trained technicians.

How Does the Traverse LT Compare to the Sporty Traverse RS Trim?

The Traverse RS distinguishes itself from the Traverse LT with aggressive blackout exterior styling, 22-inch high gloss Black-painted aluminum wheels, a sport flat-bottom steering wheel, red interior stitching, standard Super Cruise hands-free driving technology, and standard power-folding second and third rows.

Both trims utilize the exact same 328-horsepower 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, eight-speed automatic transmission, and 5,000 pounds maximum towing rating. However, while the RS focuses on athletic street style and top-tier luxury tech, the Traverse LT serves as the practical core of the lineup, offering greater seating configuration flexibility—including the available eight-passenger bench that is not offered on the RS.

The Traverse LT also allows buyers to selectively add high-end technology—such as Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance or the Midnight/Sport Edition appearance package—without paying for the complete RS cosmetic package. This flexibility lets drivers prioritize utility and comfort features tailored directly to their budget.

Before deciding between trims, take a moment to value your trade-in online to see how your current vehicle’s equity applies toward your next lease or purchase.
