Already the perfect crossover SUV for those looking for a roomy interior, advanced safety features, and a comfortable ride, the 2016 Chevrolet Traverse adds connectivity to its long list of attributes.

OnStar 4G LTE connectivity with a Wi-Fi hotspot is new for 2016. It complements Chevrolet MyLink, providing a mobile hub for drivers and passengers to stay connected anytime, anywhere. The hotspot is on whenever the vehicle is on and comes with a three-month/three gigabyte data trial, after which the owner can purchase additional data.

For 2016, Traverse is offered in LS, LT (1LT and 2LT trims) and LTZ models, in front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations. LS and LT seat up to eight passengers and are powered by a 3.6L V-6 engine using gasoline direct injection technology to optimize performance and efficiency.

The engine is certified at 288 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque with dual exhaust on LTZ models and 281 hp and 266 lb-ft with single exhaust on LS and LT.

The athletic exterior of Traverse incorporates distinctive front and rear fascias and includes a power dome hood, streamlined headlamps and fog lamps, chrome accents and sculpted front corners.

Premium materials include soft-touch surfaces on the instrument panel and front door uppers, contrasting stitching, chrome and silver accents, and available blue ambient lighting that glows throughout the cabin.
