When Does the 2027 Chevy Traverse Arrive at Fort Washington Chevrolet?
The 2027 Chevy Traverse release date has already come and gone — the redesigned lineup is now in full production and arriving at dealerships nationwide, including Fort Washington Chevrolet.
Chevy builds the Traverse in Lansing, Michigan, using U.S. and globally sourced parts, and the 2027 model year brings a genuine refresh rather than a carryover. All four trims get updated styling, and the High Country trim was reworked with premium cabin materials and a more upscale presence. Two new exterior colors, Twilight Blue and Trillium Green Metallic, also join the palette. For anyone still driving an older Traverse, or cross-shopping other three-row SUVs, current inventory reflects the newest engineering Chevy has put into this vehicle, not a leftover model year gathering dust on the lot.
High Country Trim
Redesigned High Country trim with premium interior materials.
Exterior Palette
Two new exterior color options across the lineup.
Z71 Hardware
Refreshed Z71 off-road styling and hardware.
What Are the 2027 Traverse Trims and Prices?
The trims span four distinct builds, and the 2027 Traverse price range covers about $16,000 from base to fully loaded.
LT is the value play, with a 7- or 8-passenger layout and every core feature a family needs. Z71 trades some polish for genuine off-road hardware. RS leans into street-focused style with blacked-out trim and standard Super Cruise. High Country tops the lineup with real wood accents and Tritan Satin finishes inside and out. Every trim shares the same 2.5L turbo powertrain, so the choice really comes down to how each one is equipped rather than what's under the hood.
| Trim | Starting Price | Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| LT | $40,800 | 2.5L turbo engine, 7- or 8-passenger seating, standard 17.7" touchscreen |
| Z71 | $49,100 | Twin-Clutch AWD, Terrain Mode, off-road suspension and skid plate |
| RS | $55,800 | Standard Super Cruise, sport-tuned styling, 22" black wheels |
| High Country | $56,100 | Real wood trim, Tritan Satin finishes, standard Super Cruise |

View High CountryTraverse Z71 vs. High Country: Which One Fits Fort Washington Driveways?
Traverse Z71 vs. High Country really comes down to whether capability or comfort tops the priority list.
Z71 is built for the driver who wants a Traverse that can handle a gravel driveway, a snowy commute, or a weekend up the mountain without hesitation. It adds Twin-Clutch AWD, Terrain Mode, Hill Descent Control, and a genuine skid plate, plus 18-inch wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires. High Country, on the other hand, is the trim for someone who wants every drive to feel a little more special: microfiber suede accents, Tritan Satin finishes, a new High Country badge, and standard Super Cruise for long highway stretches. Neither one is the wrong answer — it's really about whether weekends mean trailheads or valet parking.
Off-Road Readiness vs. Executive Comfort: Whether you choose the rugged capability of the Z71 or the refined luxury of the High Country, the Traverse cabin remains an oasis of calm and connectivity for your daily drives around Maryland.
How Much Can the 2027 Traverse Tow, and How Many Can It Seat?
Chevy Traverse towing capacity reaches 5,000 lbs on LT, Z71 and RS, and Traverse seating capacity tops out at 8 passengers.
That towing figure comes standard with trailering equipment already built in — Hitch View, Hitch Guidance and the Trailering App are all included, so hauling a camper, boat or trailer full of mulch doesn't require an extra options box checked. On the seating side, LT can be configured with a second-row bench for 8-passenger capacity or captain's chairs for a 7-passenger layout with a bit more room to spread out. Z71, RS, and High Country all seat 7 as standard. Cargo space holds up its end too, with a best-in-class 98 cu. ft. of maximum volume, plus 22.9 cu. ft. behind the third row for everyday errands.
What Does 2027 Traverse Super Cruise Add Behind the Wheel?
2027 Traverse Super Cruise is Chevy's hands-free driver assistance technology, standard on RS and High Country and backed by a 3-year OnStar Super Cruise plan.
On compatible mapped highways, Super Cruise can manage steering, braking, and acceleration. At the same time, a driver-facing camera confirms that attention stays on the road, allowing hands to come off the wheel during long, straight stretches. It pairs with a 17.7-inch touchscreen, an 11-inch driver display, and available Google Built-in with a Gemini AI assistant, so the Traverse's tech story goes well beyond a single feature. For families logging highway miles on road trips or long commutes, that combination takes a real bite out of driving fatigue.
Advanced Cabin Technology: Featuring a massive 17.7-inch touchscreen display and Google built-in integration, staying connected, navigating traffic, and accessing entertainment has never been easier or more intuitive.
The Bottom Line on the 2027 Traverse
The 2027 Chevy Traverse isn't chasing flash for its own sake — it's a genuinely useful three-row SUV with the towing, seating, and tech to back up a busy family's schedule. Whether the priority is Z71's off-road grit, High Country's upscale finish, or just a well-equipped LT that gets the job done, there's a version of this Traverse built for it. Fort Washington Chevrolet in Fort Washington, MD has the lineup on the ground now, ready to see and drive.
