FUEL EFFICIENCY

Traverse offers the best highway fuel economy of any eight-passenger SUV(1) but never asks you to compromise when it comes to people, cargo or power. How does that work for you?
1 Based on 2008 GM Mid Utility-Crossover segment. Excludes other GM vehicles. EPA estimated MPG 24 highway (FWD), 23 highway (AWD).

With people.

• With the best highway fuel economy of any eight-passenger SUV(1) you can take seven other people along for the ride. View interior fly-through

1 Excludes other GM vehicles. EPA estimated MPG 24 highway (FWD), 23 highway (AWD).

With cargo.

• Fill it up, without filling it up, thanks to the best highway fuel economy of any eight-passenger SUV(1) and a best-in-class 116.4 cu. ft. of cargo space.(2)

Without compromise.

• Traverse offers the best highway fuel economy of any eight-passenger SUV(1) as well as more standard horsepower than Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot and Ford Flex.
• Every Traverse has a six-speed automatic transmission, and that's not something Toyota Highlander or Honda Pilot can say.
• When you look at driving range, Traverse can offer up to 528 highway miles. That's 82 more than Ford Flex, 68 more than Toyota Highlander and 45 more than Honda Pilot, which ultimately leads to fewer stops at the pump.

1 Excludes other GM vehicles. EPA estimated MPG highway: Traverse 24 (FWD), 23 (AWD); Flex 24; Highlander 24; Pilot 23.

MORE ROOM

Seating for seven or eight, depending on the model you choose. Best-in-class cargo space.(1) Plus convenient features like a power-remote liftgate that's standard on 2LT and LTZ. How do these fit your lifestyle?

Best-in-class cargo space.(1)

• With the second and third rows folded flat, you have 116.4 cu. ft. of cargo space [Fuel Efficiency > With Cargo]. That's enough for luggage, groceries, strollers and sports equipment, plus it's over 33 cu. ft. more than Ford Flex, 29 cu. ft. more than Honda Pilot and 21 cu. ft. more than Toyota Highlander.

Preproduction model shown. Production model may vary.
1 With second-seats folded and third-row seat removed. Based on 2008 GM Mid-Utility Crossover segment and latest available competitive information. Cargo and load capacity limited by weight and distribution.

Best-in-class space behind the third row.(1)

• You've got room no matter how many passengers are with you. Traverse has 24.4 cu. ft. behind the third row — that's more than twice what you'll find in Toyota Highlander. Fold the third row flat and there's an impressive 68.8 cu. ft. of space.

Convenient cargo features.

• In every Traverse, you'll find multiple storage areas all around, including an underfloor area where you can keep small items out of sight. A power- remote liftgate is standard on 2LT and LTZ, giving you easy access to that best-in-class cargo space.(1) View interior fly-through

PEACE OF MIND

Traverse has a long list of features designed to help you before, during and, thanks to OnStar(1) with a one-year Directions & Connections Plan, after a collision. Want to learn more?

Before

• OnStar(1) with a one-year Directions & Connections Plan is standard on every Traverse. An OnStar Advisor is always ready to help in a variety of situations, whether you've locked your keys in your car,(2) have a flat tire or have another emergency. View OnStar video
• To help improve vehicle stability, particularly during emergency maneuvers, StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control System is standard. View StabiliTrak video.
• It's important to keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. In Traverse, you can answer and end calls without touching your phone, thanks to OnStar Hands-Free Calling(3) on every model.

Preproduction model shown. Production model may vary.
1 Call 1-888-4ONSTAR (1-888-466-7827) or visit onstar.com for details and system limitations.
2 Remote Door Unlock success varies with conditions.
3 Hands-Free Calling requires a Hands-Free Calling-enabled vehicle, existing OnStar service contract and prepaid minutes or enrollment in a shared minutes plan. Not available in certain markets. Calls may be made to the U.S. and Canada only.

During

• To give you an added sense of security, every Traverse features six standard air bags(1)
• Dual-stage frontal air bags (with right-front Passenger Sensing System)
• Head-curtain side-impact air bags that protect all three rows
• Front-seat-mounted, side-impact pelvic/thorax air bags for driver and front passenger
• To help protect you on the road, Traverse earned five-star frontal and side-impact crash test ratings.(2) That's something Toyota Highlander can't match.

Preproduction model shown. Production model may vary.
1 Always use safety belts and the correct child restraint for your child's age and size. Even in vehicles equipped with the Passenger Sensing System, children are safer when properly secured in a rear seat in the appropriate infant, child or booster seat. Never place a rear-facing infant restraint in the front seat of any vehicle equipped with an active air bag. See the Owner's Manual and child safety seat instructions for more safety information.
2 Side-impact crash test rating is for a model tested with standard head-curtain side-impact air bags (SABs). Government star ratings are part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA's) New Car Assessment Program (www.safercar.gov).

After

• OnStar(1) with a one-year Directions &Connections Plan is standard and includes:
• Automatic Crash Response
• Automatic Air Bag Deployment Response
• Link to Existing Emergency Service Providers
• Crisis Assist
• Stolen Vehicle Location Assistance(2)
• Roadside Assistance

SMART FEATURES

Traverse is full of intelligent amenities that make your time on the road a little easier and, yes, more enjoyable. Want to see how this happens?

Getting from here to there.

• To help you get to your destination faster, you can choose XM NavTraffic(1) when you order a navigation radio that's available on most models.(2) XM NavTraffic enhances the system by showing real-time traffic data when you need it most — while you're driving. Available in over 80 markets, XM NavTraffic displays construction, road closures and accidents. View XM NavTraffic video
• Get the simplest and smartest navigation system with Turn-by-Turn Navigation,(3) included in the standard one-year OnStar(4) Directions &Connections Plan. Just press the OnStar button and tell the Advisor where you want to go. The Advisor will download the directions to your vehicle and an automated voice will guide you through every turn until you arrive at your destination. Turn-by-Turn Navigation makes stopping to ask for directions and fumbling with maps things of the past.
• See where you're going before you go. Traverse has available features like rearview camera displays in the inside rearview mirror or navigation screen, Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist and blind-spot mirrors.

Pamper yourself

• Stay comfortable in any situation. LTZ has heated and cooled leather-appointed front bucket seats that include eight-way power and a driver memory feature. That's something the competition can't match.
• Bringing you the feeling of open-air driving on most models(1) is the available two-panel SkyScape sunroof, featuring a power, tilt-sliding front panel and a fixed rear panel with power sunscreen.
• To help passengers of all ages and sizes enter or exit the third row with no trouble at all, you can use a one-hand movement to send the Smart Slide second-row seat in motion, quickly sliding it out of the way. View interior fly-through.
• Who needs wires? In Traverse, you can answer and end calls without touching your phone, thanks to OnStar Hands-Free Calling(2) on every model or wireless technology for select Bluetooth-compatible phones(3) on 2LT and LTZ.

Entertaining the troops

• Keep everyone happy on the road with a rear-seat DVD entertainment system that's available on most models.(1) The system includes an eight-inch diagonal monitor for excellent viewing, a remote so you can keep control over what the kids are watching, and two wireless headphones for some well-deserved peace and quiet. As an added bonus, you can listen to the radio or a CD up front while the kids are enjoying the movie in the back.
• Bringing you an exceptional listening experience, the 10-speaker Bose^® Surround Sound System(1) includes a suite of exclusive Bose technologies that deliver 5.1 Surround Sound. Included with the available rear-seat DVD entertainment system on LT and LTZ.
