The 2027 Chevrolet Traverse builds on the current-generation three-row SUV with targeted updates rather than a complete redesign. Generally, the biggest changes include a more upscale High Country, new interior camera technology, updated exterior details, and continued 2.5-liter turbocharged performance with seating for up to eight.
At Tom Bell Chevrolet, we help drivers throughout San Bernardino, Banning, Redlands, and Yucaipa explore the latest Chevrolet vehicles and find the right fit for their needs. From sales and financing to factory-trained service and genuine parts, our team is here to support you throughout the ownership experience.

2027 Chevrolet Traverse Updates at a Glance
The 2027 Chevrolet Traverse carries forward the spacious three-row layout and turbocharged performance of the current generation, while Chevrolet makes targeted changes to styling, technology, and trim equipment. The biggest update is the introduction of a more refined High Country, which gives the Traverse a more upscale look and cabin experience.
For drivers researching what's new with the 2027 Chevy Traverse, the changes are less about starting over and more about expanding what the SUV can offer. The lineup continues with LT, Z71, RS, and High Country models, giving families, commuters, and outdoor-minded drivers several ways to configure their Traverse.
Design and Styling Changes for 2027
Chevrolet gives each 2027 Traverse trim a distinct appearance. The LT maintains a family-friendly design, while the Z71 emphasizes its off-road capability. The RS adds a more athletic street presence, and the High Country brings premium details to the top of the lineup.
New exterior and interior choices include:
- Twilight Blue, available on RS and High Country
- Trillium Green Metallic, available across the lineup
- A new Oregon seat color available on Z71
- Refreshed wheel designs and trim details
- Standard power-folding second- and third-row seating on RS
These changes make the different models easier to distinguish without changing the basic character of the Traverse as a practical midsize SUV.
High Country Refinements
The High Country receives some of the most noticeable 2027 Traverse changes and updates. Chevrolet positions this trim as the more sophisticated option, with premium materials and exclusive exterior details.
Highlights include:
- Real wood trim accents
- Microfiber suede throughout portions of the cabin
- Exclusive Tritan Satin finishes inside and out
- Redesigned High Country badging on the doors, liftgate, and door sill plates
- 22-inch high-gloss black machined-face wheels
- Standard Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology
For someone who wants the room of a three-row SUV without giving up upscale cabin appointments, the High Country adds a distinctly more premium character to the Traverse lineup.
New Camera and Security Technology
One of the more interesting additions for 2027 is Chevrolet's expanded use of camera technology inside the Traverse. The available interior camera can give occupants a better view of passengers in the second and third rows, while additional recording functions can provide useful security information when the vehicle is parked.
The technology is particularly practical in a three-row SUV. Parents can check on children in the back, and drivers carrying passengers or pets can get a quick view of the rear seating area without turning around.
Available Interior Camera
The available interior camera works with Cabin Glance, allowing the driver or front passenger to view the second and third rows through the center display. This can be useful during everyday drives when someone in the back needs attention.
For example, a driver heading across Redlands with children in the third row can use the display to check the rear seating area without physically turning around. The system is also useful when carrying passengers across San Bernardino or preparing for a longer family trip.
Tom Bell Chevrolet's current 2027 Traverse inventory demonstrates how this technology can be equipped. One listed LT includes the Driver Confidence Package with an interior camera, HD Surround Vision, a rear camera mirror, rear pedestrian alert, and traffic sign recognition.
Surround Vision Recorder and Security Recording
The camera technology also extends beyond simply monitoring passengers. The Traverse can be equipped with Surround Vision Recorder and Security Recording features that add recording capability to the SUV's camera system.
Key functions include:
- Recording surrounding camera views
- Saving recorded footage to a USB drive
- Security Recording that can begin automatically when the vehicle's alarm is triggered
- Interior camera functionality through Cabin Glance
These features add another layer of awareness to a vehicle that may spend as much time parked at home, school, or a shopping center as it does on the highway.
Performance and Capability Carry Into 2027
While Chevrolet makes several technology and design changes, the underlying powertrain remains familiar. Every 2027 Traverse uses a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The engine produces 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque, giving the three-row SUV enough output for daily driving, highway travel, and properly equipped towing. Chevrolet rates the Traverse for up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity when properly equipped.
2.5-Liter Turbocharged Engine
The 2.5-liter turbocharged engine is designed to balance useful power with the practicality expected from a family-oriented SUV. Front-wheel-drive models are rated at up to 20 mpg city and 26 mpg highway according to Chevrolet.
The powertrain provides:
- 328 horsepower
- 326 lb-ft of torque
- Eight-speed automatic transmission
- Available all-wheel drive
- Up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity with included trailering equipment on LT, Z71, and RS
For everyday driving around Redlands, the engine provides the power needed for merging and highway travel while retaining the flexibility needed for family trips and weekend activities.
Towing and Off-Road Capability
The Z71 remains the choice for drivers who want additional capability away from paved roads. It combines the Traverse's three-row practicality with equipment designed for more challenging surfaces.
Z71 features include:
- Advanced Twin-Clutch AWD
- Terrain Mode
- Hill Descent Control
- Off-road suspension
- Skid plate
- All-terrain tires
- Frequency-based suspension dampers
The Traverse also comes with standard trailering technology on LT, Z71, and RS models, including Hitch View, Hitch Guidance, and the Trailering App. That makes it easier to connect and manage a trailer when you're heading out for a weekend away from the Inland Empire.
Technology and Three-Row Practicality
Technology is another major part of the 2027 Traverse experience. Even the LT includes a large 17.7-inch infotainment screen and an 11-inch driver information display, while available features add connectivity and driver assistance for longer trips. The combination of digital technology and flexible seating helps the Traverse remain practical for both everyday errands and larger family outings.
Standard Infotainment and Driver Displays
The 17.7-inch infotainment touchscreen gives the dashboard a modern centerpiece, while the 11-inch driver information display puts important driving information directly in front of the driver.
Other available and standard technology includes:
- Wireless smartphone connectivity
- Standard wireless phone charging
- Standard second-row USB ports
- Available HD Surround Vision
- Available Google built-in compatibility
- Available Google Gemini
- Available Super Cruise
- OnStar connected services
Super Cruise is also standard on the RS and High Country, including a three-year OnStar Super Cruise plan.
Passenger and Cargo Flexibility
The Traverse continues to make space a priority. LT models can seat up to eight passengers when equipped with the available second-row bench, while Z71, RS, and High Country models seat seven. Cargo capacity reaches 98 cubic feet with the appropriate seating configurations.
Chevrolet lists 56.6 cubic feet behind the second row and 22.9 cubic feet behind the third row. That flexibility matters in real situations. A Traverse can handle a full passenger load during a family outing, then fold the rear seating when you need room for groceries, sports equipment, luggage, or larger purchases.
2027 Traverse Trims and Features at Tom Bell Chevrolet
The 2027 lineup gives shoppers four distinct configurations. Rather than making every trim feel nearly identical, Chevrolet uses equipment and styling to give each model a specific purpose. The four available trims are:
- LT
- Z71
- RS
- High Country
Tom Bell Chevrolet currently has 2027 Traverse inventory available in Redlands, including LT and Z71 models. This lets local shoppers compare configurations rather than relying solely on specifications.
LT, Z71, RS, and High Country
The LT is the straightforward choice for drivers who want three-row versatility, useful technology, and everyday comfort. It includes the 2.5-liter turbo engine, 17.7-inch touchscreen, Smart Slide Seats, and AutoSense Power Liftgate.
The Z71 builds on the LT with equipment aimed at drivers who spend more time on rough roads or want additional all-wheel-drive capability. Its Twin-Clutch AWD system, Terrain Mode, Hill Descent Control, off-road suspension, and all-terrain tires distinguish it from the rest of the lineup.
The RS focuses on sporty styling and technology. It adds RS-specific design details, a flat-bottom steering wheel, red interior accents, blacked-out exterior elements, 22-inch wheels, and standard Super Cruise.
The High Country sits at the top of the range. Its real wood trim, premium materials, Tritan Satin accents, 22-inch wheels, and standard Super Cruise give it a more upscale personality.
Choosing the Right Configuration
The right Traverse depends largely on how you expect to use it.
For example:
- LT for everyday family transportation and flexible seating
- Z71 for drivers who want additional off-road capability
- RS for sportier styling and advanced technology
- High Country for premium materials and upscale features
A driver commuting through Redlands and San Bernardino may have different priorities than someone regularly taking their SUV toward mountain trails or using it for longer family trips. Comparing the trims in person can make those differences much easier to understand.
