2011 Chevrolet Traverse Overview Reviewers said the 2011 Chevrolet Traverse is a good all-around crossover, noting that its standard third-row seat is roomy for the class. Plus, the Traverse offers more cargo space than most of its competitors. When it was new, test drivers said the Traverse wasnt particularly fast or sporty, but for a comfortable, affordable family crossover, its hard to beat. The Traverse was our 2011 Best Midsize Crossover for the Money when it was new. The Traverse comes with a 3.6-liter V6 engine and either front- or all-wheel drive. If you want more power, look for a Traverse with the dual exhaust option, which adds seven horsepower and is available in base LS, 1LT, 2LT and LTZ trims. For more luxury, shoppers will want to opt for either a 2011 GMC Acadia or a 2011 Buick Enclave. Even the Traverses top-of-the-line LTZ trim cant compete with its more upscale siblings. Base features on the Traverse include front and rear manual climate control, a six-speaker stereo with an auxiliary input, satellite radio and cruise control, but depending on the trim level, you can find a Traverse with leather-trimmed first- and second-row seats, remote start, USB and Bluetooth phone connectivity, a power liftgate, navigation and a rearview camera.
