Every 2027 Chevrolet Traverse figure on this page is sourced and dated, and each one names the configuration it belongs to, because a three-row SUV's weights, tank size and ground clearance change with the drivetrain. Where a number applies to one build and not another, it says so. Start with the Traverse overview or the trim comparison if you want the buying picture rather than the numbers.

2027 Traverse Exterior Dimensions for Reading Garages

Dimension	Figure	Applies to
Overall length	204.5 in	All trims
Wheelbase	121.0 in	All trims
Width, without mirrors	79.6 in	All trims
Width, across the mirrors	87.9 in	All trims
Height	70.7 in	Z71 all-wheel drive
Ground clearance	7.8 in	Z71 all-wheel drive
Turning circle	39.0 ft	All trims

Height and ground clearance above are the Z71's, which rides higher than the rest of the lineup on its off-road suspension. For the exact figures on an LT, RS or High Country build, call us at (610) 674-0598 with the car you are looking at and we will confirm them for that build.

Curb weight and weight ratings

Configuration	Curb weight	Gross weight
LT, front-wheel drive	4,504 pounds	Ask us for this build
Z71, all-wheel drive	4,793 pounds	6,394 pounds

The 289-pound spread between those two builds is the all-wheel-drive hardware and the Z71's off-road equipment. It is worth knowing if you are calculating a tongue weight for a trailer.

2027 Traverse Interior Dimensions and Cargo Volume

Measurement	Figure
Cargo, all seats in place	22.9 cu ft
Maximum cargo capacity	97.6 cu ft (Chevrolet publishes this as 98 cu ft)
Front legroom	44.3 in
Second-row legroom	41.5 in
Front shoulder room	62.3 in
Rear shoulder room	62.2 in
Seating	7 standard; 8 on the LT with the available second-row bench

The number that decides most family purchases is the first one. 22.9 cubic feet behind a third row that is up and occupied is a genuine week of groceries for six, or a stroller and two hockey bags, with nothing folded. Second-row legroom of 41.5 inches is what makes the middle row comfortable for adults rather than a penalty box, and the Smart Slide second row moves forward with a child seat still installed so the third row stays reachable.

Capacity and Capability: What the 2027 Traverse Tows

Configuration	Maximum towing	Trailering equipment
LT, front- or all-wheel drive	5,000 pounds	Included
Z71, all-wheel drive	5,000 pounds	Included
RS, front- or all-wheel drive	5,000 pounds	Included

Every figure is properly equipped. The point worth taking from this table is that the tow rating does not move as you climb the trim ladder, so a $40,800 LT pulls exactly what a $57,800 RS pulls. In practice that rating covers most of what a Berks County family actually hitches up: a compact camper, a boat on a single-axle trailer, or landscaping material heading out toward Hawk Mountain Sanctuary. Anything heavier belongs behind a Tahoe or a Silverado, and both sit on our lot.

Wheels, Tires and Brakes

Trim	Wheels
Z71	18-inch high gloss Black machined-face aluminum, all-terrain tires
RS	22-inch high gloss Black painted aluminum
LT and High Country	Ask us for the build you are considering

Tire pressure monitoring is standard equipment. The Z71's all-terrain tires are the meaningful mechanical difference here, and the 22-inch wheels on the RS are the largest offered in the lineup.

2027 Traverse Fuel Economy and Range

Configuration	City	Highway	Combined	Fuel tank
Front-wheel drive	20 MPG	26 MPG	22 MPG	Ask us for this build
All-wheel drive	20 MPG	24 MPG	21 MPG	21.7 gallons

EPA estimates, published at fueleconomy.gov. On the all-wheel-drive Z71, the published range is 434.0 miles in city driving and 520.8 miles on the highway. Treat those as a steady-cruise ceiling rather than a weekly average.

Safety and Compliance

The count Chevrolet publishes is more than 20 standard safety and driver assistance features on every trim. The ones a buyer in Schuylkill Haven or Reading actually asks about are below, and all of them are standard equipment rather than package content.

System	Fitment
Automatic Emergency Braking	Standard
Front Pedestrian and Bicycle Braking	Standard
Blind Zone Steering Assist	Standard
Rear Cross Traffic Braking	Standard
Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning	Standard
Safety Alert Seat	Standard
Tire pressure monitoring	Standard
Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance	Standard on RS

Super Cruise works on compatible mapped highways and the driver remains responsible for the vehicle at all times.

2027 Traverse Warranty Coverage

Coverage	Term
Bumper-to-bumper limited	3 years / 36,000 miles
Rust-through	6 years / 100,000 miles

Everything about keeping the vehicle - milestones, filters, fluids and the cost of the first five years - sits on the 2027 Traverse service and maintenance page.

What These 2027 Traverse Numbers Mean in Practice

The figure	What it means where you drive
87.9 in across the mirrors	Narrower than a standard single garage door, but not by much. Mirrors stay out and the approach wants a straight line rather than an angle.
204.5 in long	Just over 17 feet. It fits a 20-foot garage bay with room to walk around the nose, and it will overhang a compact parking space.
39.0 ft turning circle	Comparable to a full-size sedan. A U-turn on a two-lane road in downtown Reading, or on Route 61 north of Hamburg, is one movement rather than three.
7.8 in ground clearance, Z71	Clears a rutted gravel lane, a snow-packed driveway and the crown of an unpaved road out toward Port Clinton without scraping.
41.5 in second-row legroom	An adult sits behind an adult without negotiating. This is the figure that separates a real three-row from a stretched two-row.
4,793 pounds, Z71 AWD	Heavy enough to feel planted on Interstate 78 in a crosswind, and the reason the all-wheel-drive car gives up two highway MPG.
