When you need more seating and a third row, you buy the full-size Chevrolet Traverse SUV.

The Chevy Traverse family has expanded in more ways than one, and now Traverse buyers can choose the exclusive off-road Z71 trim level. The first-ever Z71 trim for the 2024 Traverse has more off-road features than any other trim. With the Z71 trim package, your 2024 Chevy Traverse gets all-wheel drive (AWD) with a twin clutch. You also get elevated off-road suspension, 18-inch high-gloss wheels, all-terrain tires, a high-gloss black sporty grille, and roof-mounted side rails.
Every 2024 Chevy Traverse Z71 comes with the exclusive Chevrolet Driver Confidence Package that includes features like Adaptive Cruise Control, Enhanced Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, HD Surround Vision, Rear Pedestrian Alert, Side Bicyclist Alert, Traffic Sign Recognition, Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, Reverse Automatic Braking, and a 17.7-inch advanced LCD display with Google built-in compatibility.

Will the 2024 Chevy Traverse Z71 have a V6 engine?
Although the 2024 Chevy Traverse Z71 will not come with a V6 engine, the 2.5L Turbo engine, with 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque, still provides plenty of power and handling. The Traverse has an 8-speed automatic electronic precision shift located on the steering wheel. This switch from the V6 engine to the turbocharged 2.5L engine has been a trend among manufacturers in 2024, but this does not mean there will be a compromise in towing capacity.
