The 2018 Chevrolet Traverse starts at $34,895. The eight-seat crossover gets 50 mm more wheelbase, making for what Chevy calls the roomiest third row in the class with 856 mm of legro

A refreshed version of Chevrolet's third-hottest model has just debuted and is set to arrive later this year. The 2021 Chevrolet Traverse, the brand's popular three-row crossover, is getting a new face with sharper lights and a new grille, a new roof, better wireless connectivity, and some new active safety features. The first thing you'll notic
