Vehicle Overview
If you are in the market for a three-row SUV, then you have a few options within the Chevrolet family. There is the full-size and truck-based Suburban followed by the somewhat smaller but still truck-based Tahoe. Finally, there is the 2021 Chevrolet Traverse, which shares much of what makes the Suburban and Tahoe so compelling but does it while delivering a car-like driving experience. It has a powerful V6 engine under the hood, seats up to eight comfortably, affords plenty of cargo space and is loaded with sophisticated technologies and modern amenities. The biggest change for this model year is the driver assistance technologies, which have been rearranged to be more accessible to customers.
