The 2027 Chevrolet Traverse that Tulsa shoppers walk into at Jim Norton T-Town Chevrolet is the three-row Chevy built for families who have outgrown a compact crossover but do not want to step all the way up to a Tahoe. It starts at $40,800, runs a single 328-horsepower 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder across every trim, seats up to eight, and tows up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. For a household running kids to school off Memorial Drive on weekdays and hauling the whole crew plus a small trailer to the Arkansas River on weekends, that combination is the reason the Traverse sits in this driveway instead of a two-row.

This overview walks the whole 2027 model year in one place: the engine, the four trims and what each one costs, the technology, the cabin, cargo and towing, safety, and a plain recommendation of which Traverse fits which Tulsa buyer. For the trim-by-trim price ladder and step-up math, use our 2027 Traverse trims page; for every measured dimension and warranty term, the specs page carries the full data set.

2027 Traverse Engine and Powertrain

There is one engine to decide about, and that is the point. Every 2027 Traverse, from the $40,800 LT to the $56,100 High Country, uses the same 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder rated at 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic. Every trim shares that same turbo four, so the shopping decision is about equipment, drivetrain and style rather than about which motor to buy. That is a genuinely simpler purchase than a rival lineup that splits a base four-cylinder from an optional six.

Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is a $2,000 option on the LT, RS and High Country. On the Z71 all-wheel drive is standard and cannot be deleted, because that trim is the one built with off-road hardware. For a Tulsa driver the practical read is that 328 horsepower moves a fully loaded three-row without strain up the grade on the Broken Arrow Expressway, and the extra $2,000 for all-wheel drive proves its worth on a wet on-ramp or an icy morning far more than it does on a dry commute.

2027 Traverse Trim Lineup and Pricing

Four trims make up the 2027 Traverse: LT, Z71, RS and High Country. Each starting price below is base MSRP and excludes the $1,995 destination freight charge, tax, title, license and dealer fees. All-wheel drive adds $2,000 to every trim that offers it as an option.

Trim	Starting MSRP	Who it is for
LT	$40,800 FWD / $42,800 AWD	The value entry, and the only trim that offers eight-passenger seating
Z71	$49,100 AWD	The off-road build, all-wheel drive only, with skid plate and Terrain Mode
RS	$55,800 FWD / $57,800 AWD	The sport-appearance trim with standard Super Cruise and 22-inch wheels
High Country	$56,100 FWD / $58,100 AWD	The top of the lineup, with the premium interior and standard Super Cruise

For 2027 the High Country sits at the top of the price ladder, just above the RS, and both come with Super Cruise hands-free driving as standard equipment. That was not true a year ago, and it is the single most useful thing to know before comparing a new Traverse against a used one. The full walk of what each step up buys, dollar for dollar, is on the trims page.

Technology and Connectivity

Every 2027 Traverse comes with a 17.7-inch diagonal touchscreen and an 11-inch driver information display as standard equipment, along with Google built-in, wireless phone charging and second-row USB ports. HD Surround Vision is available for tight parking and hitching, and the trailering camera views make backing to a coupler a one-person job instead of two. The screen runs native Google mapping and voice, so a destination spoken while merging onto US-75 lands without touching a phone.

The step that most changes the driving experience is Super Cruise, Chevrolet's hands-free highway driver assistance, which for 2027 is standard on both the RS and the High Country. On a compatible stretch of the Creek Turnpike or the run south toward Okmulgee it holds the lane and the following distance with your hands off the wheel, and it comes with a 3-year OnStar Super Cruise plan on those two trims. It is available elsewhere in the lineup, so if hands-free driving is the reason you are shopping, the RS is the least expensive Traverse that includes it.

Interior and Comfort

The Traverse seats up to eight, and the eighth seat is the second-row bench available on the LT; every other trim seats seven with second-row captain's chairs. The LT also brings Smart Slide Seats, which tip and slide to open a path to the third row without pulling a child seat out of the second row, and an AutoSense Power Liftgate that opens hands-free with an arm full of groceries. The third row is a genuine adult-usable bench rather than a token, which is the reason a family carrying grandparents or a carpool chooses a Traverse over a two-row crossover in the first place.

The cabin climbs a clear ladder as you move up. The High Country adds real wood trim accents, microfiber suede through the cabin and exclusive Tritan Satin finishes inside and out, while the RS runs a blacked-out sport look with a flat-bottom steering wheel and red interior accents. A panoramic sunroof is available across the lineup, and the Z71 offers a new Oregon seat color for buyers who want the rugged look inside as well as out.

Cargo, Towing and Passenger Space

Cargo is where a three-row does its real work, and the Traverse carries up to 98 cubic feet of maximum cargo volume with the second and third rows folded, and 22.9 cubic feet behind the third row with all three rows in use. That behind-the-third-row figure is the one that matters on a normal week: it swallows a full grocery run off Memorial Drive with all seven or eight seats occupied. Fold the rows and the Traverse takes flat-packed furniture home down the Creek Turnpike without a trailer.

Towing tops out at 5,000 pounds, properly equipped, and that rating holds across the lineup rather than being a Z71-only figure. Properly equipped means the correct hitch and wiring for the specific build, and the number is a maximum rather than a starting point. Five thousand pounds covers a pair of personal watercraft, a small camper, or a single-axle utility trailer for a move within Tulsa County. If the plan is a large travel trailer beyond that, our sales team will move you to a Tahoe or Suburban rather than sell the wrong vehicle for the job.

Safety and Driver Assistance

The 2027 Traverse comes with over 20 standard safety and driver assistance features, Chevrolet's own count, before a single option is added. That standard content is the same whether you buy the entry LT on price or the High Country for its cabin, so a family choosing the least expensive Traverse is not trading away the driver aids that matter most in stop-and-go traffic on the BA. Available systems layer on top for buyers who want more, and the Super Cruise hands-free system on the RS and High Country is the headline driver-assistance step in the lineup.

For an Oklahoma buyer the practical safety question is usually how the vehicle behaves loaded and in weather, and that is where the standard suite plus available all-wheel drive does its work on a wet ramp or a sudden Tulsa storm. The specs page lists the standard and available driver-assistance content in full.

Which 2027 Traverse Is Right for You?

Four trims, one engine, and a clear split by what you actually need. Here is how we route Tulsa shoppers on the lot, with each recommendation linked to live inventory.

• If you want the most seats for the money, the LT is the pick: it starts at $40,800, is the only trim that seats eight, and carries the same 328-hp engine and standard safety suite as the rest.
• If you take gravel county roads or a cabin two-track out past Glenpool, the Z71 is the one, with standard all-wheel drive, a skid plate, Terrain Mode, Hill Descent Control and 18-inch all-terrain tires.
• If hands-free highway driving is the reason you are shopping, the RS is the least expensive Traverse with standard Super Cruise, wrapped in a blacked-out sport look on 22-inch wheels.
• If you want the top cabin, the High Country adds real wood, microfiber suede and standard Super Cruise at $56,100.
• What a well-equipped pick costs: most Tulsa families land on an LT with all-wheel drive at $42,800, which covers the daily grind, the third row and a small trailer without paying for the appearance and cabin content up top.

2027 Chevrolet Traverse Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse cost in Tulsa?

For a current out-the-door figure on a specific build, call us at (918) 921-2100 or start with our new Traverse inventory.

How many people does the 2027 Traverse seat?

Up to eight. Eight-passenger seating comes from the available second-row bench on the LT; every other trim seats seven with second-row captain's chairs. All four trims are three-row vehicles with an adult-usable third row, which is the main reason a Broken Arrow or Sand Springs family steps up from a two-row crossover.

What engine does the 2027 Traverse have, and is there a V6?

Every 2027 Traverse uses a 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder making 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque through an 8-speed automatic. The same turbo four powers LT, Z71, RS and High Country for 2027, so the buying decision is about drivetrain, equipment and style rather than which motor.

How much can the 2027 Traverse tow?

Up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped, and that rating holds across the lineup rather than being unique to one trim. Properly equipped means the correct hitch and wiring for the build. Five thousand pounds covers a small camper, a pair of watercraft, or a single-axle utility trailer; a larger travel trailer calls for a Tahoe or Suburban instead.

Which 2027 Traverse trims come with Super Cruise?

Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance is standard on the RS and the High Country for 2027, each with a 3-year OnStar Super Cruise plan, and it is available elsewhere in the lineup. If hands-free highway driving is a priority, the RS at $55,800 is the least expensive Traverse that includes it as standard.

What is the difference between the Traverse Z71 and the other trims?

The Z71 is the off-road build. It comes standard with all-wheel drive, an off-road suspension and skid plate, Terrain Mode, Hill Descent Control and 18-inch high gloss Black machined-face wheels wearing all-terrain tires. The LT, RS and High Country are front-wheel drive standard with all-wheel drive optional, and none carries the Z71's off-road hardware. The trims page lays out each one in full.

What gas mileage does the 2027 Traverse get?

An EPA-estimated 22 MPG combined on front-wheel-drive models (20 city / 26 highway) and 21 MPG combined with all-wheel drive (20 city / 24 highway), per fueleconomy.gov. It runs on regular 87-octane fuel. Your actual mileage will vary with load, weather and how much of your week is spent in Tulsa stop-and-go versus open highway.
