​Chevrolet just refreshed one of its most popular family SUVs, and the changes go well beyond a new coat of paint. The 2027 Traverse brings updated technology, a more premium High Country trim, and cargo space that matters when you're loading soccer gear and suitcases at the same time. You can browse our current inventory of family SUVs to see what's already on our lot in Plano.
The 2027 Chevrolet Traverse: What's New for North Texas Families
Chevrolet built the 2027 Traverse around four distinct trims: LT, Z71, RS, and High Country. Each one carries its own personality. LT keeps things affordable, Z71 leans into off-road styling, and High Country goes upscale. GM updated the technology, exterior styling, and cabin materials this year, while keeping the core mission the same: hauling a family and its gear without drama.
We've sold and serviced Chevrolets in this area long enough to know what Plano families actually ask for. They want room for three car seats or a soccer team's worth of cleats, tech that helps in Legacy West parking garages, and an engine that doesn't strain in July heat on the Dallas North Tollway. The 2027 Traverse updates hit all three.
Available Interior Camera System and HD Surround Vision
Two of the more useful additions to the 2027 Traverse aren't about horsepower or paint. Chevrolet offers an interior camera system across the whole lineup, and it comes standard on the High Country and RS trims. HD Surround Vision rounds things out, giving drivers a digital overhead view through the infotainment screen.
Keeping an Eye on Precious Cargo
The interior camera system includes Cabin Glance, which pulls up a focused view of the second and third rows on the center screen. If you've ever craned your neck at a red light on US-75 to check on a toddler, this solves that without taking your eyes off traffic. Two recording features come alongside it. Surround Vision Recorder captures and saves video from the exterior cameras while you're driving, useful if something happens on the road you'd want documented. Security Recording works differently, automatically capturing interior and exterior footage when the theft alarm triggers while parked. Both require a USB drive to save footage.
Sharper Visibility for Tight Plano Parking
HD Surround Vision stitches together a bird's-eye view of the Traverse's surroundings, which comes in handy in the parking garages around Legacy West or anywhere curbs and pedestrians are hard to judge from the driver's seat. It's part of the available Driver Confidence Package, which also bundles in a Rear Camera Mirror, Rear Pedestrian Alert, and Traffic Sign Recognition. For families who split driving duties, this kind of assist can make a big three-row SUV feel less intimidating to park.
Exterior Refinements That Turn Heads
Chevrolet didn't stop at technology. The 2027 Traverse gets a visual refresh this year, with new wheel designs and trim-specific detailing that give each version of the SUV a slightly different presence on the road.
Updated Wheel Designs
Every trim gets its own wheel treatment this year, part of Chevrolet's push to give the LT, Z71, RS, and High Country more visual separation from one another. It's the kind of detail that makes a Traverse in your driveway look distinct from the one parked next to it at a Plano ISD pickup line.
New Paint Colors: Twilight Blue and Trillium Green Metallic
Two new colors join the palette. Twilight Blue is available on the RS and High Country, while Trillium Green Metallic spans all four trims. Both are a departure from the greys and whites that dominate this segment, which is worth something when you're trying to spot your vehicle in a full Plano ISD pickup line.
The High Country Trim Evolves
If you're the family that wants three-row practicality without giving up a premium feel, the High Country trim deserves a longer look this year. Chevrolet repositioned it as a more aspirational option within the lineup, and the changes show up in both the cabin and the exterior.
The Traverse is the first Chevrolet to wear the updated High Country treatment, and the same design language rolls out to the next-generation 2027 Silverado.
Real Wood Interior Accents
Inside, the High Country now features Jet Black seats with Natural Tan accents, Natural Tan-edged seatbelts, and debossed first-row headrests. Real wood décor rounds out the cabin, and you'll notice the upgrade the moment you sit down. For families who spend a lot of time in the vehicle, whether it's the daily carpool or a weekend trip to the Hill Country, that kind of detail matters more than it might seem on paper.
Tritan Satin Exterior Detailing
On the outside, the High Country picks up a new badge design on the front doors and liftgate, along with Tritan Satin finishing on the grille and headlamp accents. That same Tritan Satin treatment ties the Traverse High Country visually to the next-generation 2027 Silverado High Country, so if you're a two-vehicle Chevrolet household, the design language will feel familiar. The trim also rides on 22-inch high-gloss black machined-face aluminum wheels.
Power and Performance for Texas Roads
Chevrolet simplified the Traverse's engine lineup for 2027, and the single available powertrain still delivers plenty for the way North Texas families actually drive, whether that's a tollway commute, a long summer road trip, or an occasional trailer haul.
Standard 328-Horsepower 2.5L Turbocharged Engine
Every 2027 Traverse comes with a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder producing 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque through an eight-speed automatic, running on regular 87-octane fuel. Fuel economy lands around 20 city, 26 highway, and 22 combined with front-wheel drive, dropping to 20/24/21 with AWD.
Drivetrain works differently depending on trim: LT, RS, and High Country come with front-wheel drive and offer AWD as an option, while the Z71 is built around the Advanced Twin-Clutch AWD system as standard. Towing is 5,000 pounds on every trim, and for 2027 the trailering package is standard equipment, so each Traverse leaves the lot ready to pull its full rating. That covers most travel trailers and boats without stepping up to a bigger, harder-to-park SUV. GM assembles the Traverse in Lansing, Michigan.
Available Super Cruise for I-75 Road Trips
Super Cruise is new for 2027 as standard equipment on the RS and High Country, including a three-year OnStar Super Cruise plan, and it's available on the LT and Z71 through the Enhanced Driving Package. That's a meaningful change: hands-free highway driving used to require stepping well up the price ladder. It still requires an attentive driver, no hand-held devices, and a compatible road. For a family heading down I-75 or out toward Austin, that assistance takes real pressure off whoever's driving during hour four. It works alongside the Traverse's 17.7-inch touchscreen, one of the largest in any three-row SUV.
If you want to see how these features feel in person, now's a good time to reserve your Traverse before the trims you want sell through.
Space Built for Growing Families
None of the tech or styling updates matter much if the Traverse can't actually fit a family's life. Fortunately, Chevrolet kept the SUV's core strength intact: room. The LT trim seats up to eight with an available second-row bench, while the Z71, RS, and High Country trims seat seven.
Cavernous Cargo Room for Road Trips and Everyday Life
Chevrolet markets the Traverse's cargo volume at 98 cubic feet maximum. Broken down, that's 22.9 cubic feet behind the third row for everyday grocery runs and gear, expanding to 56.6 cubic feet when the third row folds flat for bigger hauls like furniture or luggage for a family trip. Combined with more than 20 standard safety and driver-assistance features, the Traverse handles both the daily grind and the twice-a-year road trip without feeling cramped either way.
