Chevy Traverse Interior Seats
How many passengers get to relax in these spacious specs? By default, the Chevy Traverse offers seating for seven, a configuration that spans all trim levels. This two-two-three setup provides easy access to the third row, either through an open middle or via Smart Slide technology. For some trims, such as the High Country, second-row passengers enjoy more flexibility and comfort with One-Touch Fold bucket seats.
For growing families, consider the LT trim and its available eight-passenger configuration. This setup replaces the second row with a bench seat, providing one extra seat – at the cost of some ease of access to the third row. Larger families agree that this version of the Chevy Traverse interior is undoubtedly preferred, especially since Smart Slide technology makes accessing the back straightforward.
