Performance and Engine Specifications of the Chevy Traverse and Chevy Tahoe
The Traverse features a 2.5-liter turbo-four engine delivering 328 horsepower mated with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Its smaller size makes it easier to get around, particularly in the city. It gets 20 mpg/city and 27 mpg/highway on front-wheel drive; those numbers drop with all-wheel drive and 19 city/24 mpg highway.
But if you want power, the Tahoe is the one to get. It has three engine possibilities:
- A standard 5.3-liter V-8 with 355 horsepower
- An available 6.2-liter V-8 with 420 horsepower
- A available 3.0-liter six-cylinder diesel with 305 horsepower
All engines are mated with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Real-wheel drive is standard, with optional all-wheel drive.
Both engines get 15 mpg/city and 20 mpg/highway with rear-wheel drive; with all-wheel drive there is a slight reduction in efficiency.
