The 2027 Chevrolet Traverse is a midsize three-row crossover built around a single 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder making 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque, driving an 8-speed automatic. It measures 204.5 inches long on a 121.0-inch wheelbase, seats up to eight, carries up to 98 cubic feet of cargo and tows up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. This is the full specification page for the model year, with fuel economy cited to fueleconomy.gov.

If you want the plain-language version of the model year first, the 2027 Traverse overview covers it, and the per-trim equipment and price ladder lives on the trims page.

Engine Specifications

One engine covers the whole lineup, which makes this the simplest part of the spec sheet. There is a single 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder on the LT, Z71, RS and High Country, mated to an 8-speed automatic. Front-wheel drive is standard on the LT, RS and High Country, all-wheel drive is a $2,000 option on those three, and the Z71 comes with all-wheel drive as standard.

Powertrain spec	2027 Traverse
Engine	2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder
Horsepower	328 hp
Torque	326 lb-ft
Transmission	8-speed automatic
Drivetrain	FWD standard; AWD available; AWD standard on Z71
Fuel	Regular unleaded, 87 octane

Because output is identical across the range, no trim accelerates faster than another, and 328 horsepower is enough to move a fully loaded three-row up the grade on the Broken Arrow Expressway without downshifting hunting. The choice on this line is drivetrain, not power: all-wheel drive is the one that matters on a wet Tulsa on-ramp.

Exterior Dimensions and How the Traverse Parks in Tulsa

The Traverse is a genuinely large three-row: read the width figures carefully, because the with-mirrors and without-mirrors numbers are measured on different bases, and a garage bay has to clear the mirrors-out figure. Height and ground clearance below are the Z71 figures.

Exterior dimension	2027 Traverse
Length	204.5 in.
Wheelbase	121.0 in.
Width, without mirrors	79.6 in.
Width, with mirrors	87.9 in.
Height, Z71	70.7 in.
Ground clearance, Z71	7.8 in.
Turning circle	39.0 ft.
Curb weight, LT FWD	4,504 pounds
Curb weight, Z71 AWD	4,793 pounds
GVWR, Z71 AWD	6,394 pounds
Final assembly	United States

At 87.9 inches wide with the mirrors out and 204.5 inches long, the Traverse needs a full two-car bay and a moment of care in a compact Tulsa parking deck; the 39.0-foot turning circle is the number that decides how many bites a tight spot takes. The 6,394-pound GVWR is a Z71 all-wheel-drive figure and is not a lineup blanket, and no payload figure should be worked out by subtracting curb weight from it. Bring the VIN to 4924 S Memorial Dr and we will read the door-jamb label with you.

Interior Space, Seating and Cargo Volume for Tulsa Families

This is the section most Broken Arrow and Sand Springs families actually decide on. The Traverse seats up to eight, with eight-passenger capability coming from the available second-row bench on the LT; the Z71, RS and High Country seat seven with captain's chairs. The passenger dimensions for 2027 are below.

Measurement	2027 Traverse
Front legroom	44.3 in.
Second-row legroom	41.5 in.
Front shoulder room	62.3 in.
Rear shoulder room	62.2 in.
Seating capacity	Up to 8 (LT); 7 on Z71, RS, High Country

Forty-four inches of front legroom is genuinely generous, and 41.5 inches in the second row is the number that keeps teenagers and adults comfortable on the drive down US-75 to a game. The third row is a usable adult bench rather than a token, which is the reason a family carrying grandparents or running a carpool steps up to a Traverse from a two-row crossover.

Cargo volume, stated by configuration

Cargo figures only mean something when the configuration is attached, so each is labeled below. The behind-the-third-row number is the one that matters on a normal week with every seat occupied.

Cargo configuration	2027 Traverse
Behind the third row	22.9 cu. ft.
Maximum, rows folded	97.6 cu. ft., which Chevrolet rounds to 98 cu. ft.
Power liftgate	AutoSense Power Liftgate, opens hands-free

Twenty-two point nine cubic feet behind the third row swallows a full grocery run off Memorial Drive with all seven or eight seats occupied, and folding the rows opens up to 98 cubic feet, enough to take flat-packed furniture home down the Creek Turnpike without a trailer. The AutoSense Power Liftgate opens with a wave of the foot when your arms are full.

Towing and Capability, Properly Equipped

Towing tops out at 5,000 pounds, properly equipped, and the rating holds across the lineup rather than being unique to one trim. Properly equipped means the correct hitch and wiring for the specific build, and the figure is a maximum, not a starting point.

• Maximum towing: up to 5,000 lbs, properly equipped, on the LT, Z71, RS and High Country.
• What it covers: a small camper, a pair of watercraft, or a single-axle utility trailer for a local move.
• What it does not: a large travel trailer, which calls for a Tahoe or Suburban instead.

Five thousand pounds is a real number for a boat trailer bound for a launch on the Arkansas River, and available all-wheel drive is the option that most changes how a loaded Traverse behaves on a wet ramp.

Wheels, Tires and Brakes

Wheel choice tracks the trim, and it changes both the look and the ride, so it is worth deciding before you order. The Z71 is the odd one out, running smaller-diameter all-terrain rubber on purpose.

Trim	Wheels and tires
Z71	18-in. high gloss Black machined-face aluminum, all-terrain tires
RS	22-in. high gloss Black painted aluminum
High Country	22-in. high gloss Black machined-face aluminum
LT	Standard aluminum wheels

The Z71's smaller 18-inch wheel is a feature, not a downgrade: the taller all-terrain tire sidewall is what soaks up a washboard county road out toward Okmulgee. The RS and High Country both run 22s, but on different finishes, painted on the RS and machined-face on the High Country. Tire rotation runs every 7,500 miles, which our 2027 Traverse service page covers in full.

Fuel Economy and Driving Range

EPA figures below are from fueleconomy.gov, the establishing source for an EPA rating. The front-wheel-drive Traverse is rated at 22 MPG combined and the all-wheel-drive car at 21, on regular 87-octane fuel.

Configuration	City	Highway	Combined
2027 Traverse FWD	20 MPG	26 MPG	22 MPG
2027 Traverse AWD	20 MPG	24 MPG	21 MPG

EPA-estimated figures, source: fueleconomy.gov. Your actual mileage will vary with load, weather and route. The front-wheel-drive car gives up nothing but one highway MPG to the all-wheel-drive version, so the drivetrain decision comes down to traction rather than fuel bills. The all-wheel-drive Traverse carries a 21.7-gallon fuel tank.

Key Features by Trim for Tulsa Shoppers

This is the short decision grid, not the full trim walk. Every cell is a published figure at that trim's scope; the complete per-trim breakdown with pricing lives on the trims page.

Trim	Super Cruise	Decision features published on the trim card
LT	Available	Smart Slide Seats; AutoSense Power Liftgate; available 8-passenger seating; 17.7-in. touchscreen
Z71	Available	Standard AWD; skid plate; Terrain Mode; Hill Descent Control; all-terrain tires
RS	Standard	One-Touch Fold 2nd row; power-folding 2nd and 3rd rows; blackout styling; 22-in. wheels
High Country	Standard	Real wood and microfiber suede; Bose audio; heated mirrors; power tilt-and-telescopic wheel

Every trim carries the 17.7-inch touchscreen, the 11-inch driver display, wireless phone charging and second-row USB ports as standard, so the connectivity baseline does not change as you move up. Google built-in and HD Surround Vision are available. A panoramic sunroof is available across the lineup.

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, and that standard content is the same whether you buy an LT on price or a High Country for its cabin. The available step that changes the driving experience most is Super Cruise, standard on the RS and High Country and available elsewhere.

Safety content	2027 Traverse
Standard driver-assistance count	Over 20 standard safety and driver assistance features
Super Cruise hands-free driving	Standard on RS and High Country; available elsewhere
HD Surround Vision	Available
Trailering camera views	Included with the trailering equipment

For an Oklahoma buyer the practical safety question is usually how the vehicle behaves loaded and in weather, which is where the standard suite plus available all-wheel drive does its work on a wet ramp or in a sudden storm. Whether the vehicle should hold its own lane on the turnpike without your hands is the Super Cruise question, and the RS is the least expensive Traverse that answers it as standard.

Warranty Coverage

Coverage is Chevrolet's standard new-vehicle warranty and is identical across the lineup. The maintenance intervals and ownership costs behind these terms live on the 2027 Traverse service page.

Coverage	2027 Traverse
Bumper-to-bumper	3 years / 36,000 miles
Powertrain	5 years / 60,000 miles
Rust-through	6 years / 100,000 miles
Scheduled maintenance included	1 visit within the first year

The included first visit covers an oil and filter change, a tire rotation and a multi-point inspection performed by Certified Service technicians. You can book it through service scheduling without calling.

What These 2027 Traverse Numbers Mean in Practice for Tulsa Drivers

Specification sheets answer questions nobody asks out loud. Here is the translation from the tables above into the decisions that get made on our lot.

The question	What the numbers say
Will it fit my garage?	It is 87.9 in. wide with mirrors and 204.5 in. long, so it needs a full two-car bay. Measure your opening against the mirrors-out figure.
How tight can it turn in a parking deck?	A 39.0-ft turning circle, which is the number that decides how many bites a tight Tulsa spot takes.
Will everyone fit on a road trip?	Up to 8 seats on the LT, 44.3 in. of front legroom and 41.5 in. in the second row, with a usable third row behind.
How much will it hold with everyone aboard?	22.9 cu. ft. behind the third row, opening to up to 98 cu. ft. with the rows folded.
Can it pull a boat to the river?	Up to 5,000 lbs properly equipped, which covers a boat or a small camper but not a large travel trailer.
What will it cost me in fuel?	An EPA-estimated 22 MPG combined front-wheel drive, 21 with all-wheel drive, on regular 87-octane (source: fueleconomy.gov).

2027 Traverse Specs FAQ for Tulsa Drivers

How much horsepower does the 2027 Chevy Traverse have?

The 2027 Traverse makes 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque from its 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder, driving an 8-speed automatic. That is the only engine offered, so output stays the same as you move up the trim ladder from LT to High Country, and every trim shares the same turbocharged four.

How long is the 2027 Traverse, and will it fit a standard garage?

It is 204.5 inches long on a 121.0-inch wheelbase and 87.9 inches wide with the mirrors out, so it needs a full two-car garage bay and a moment of care in a compact parking deck. The 39.0-foot turning circle is the figure that determines how easily it swings into a tight spot. Measure your own garage opening against the with-mirrors width before you buy.

How much cargo space does the 2027 Traverse have?

Chevrolet publishes 22.9 cubic feet behind the third row and up to 98 cubic feet maximum with the second and third rows folded. The behind-the-third-row figure is the one that matters day to day, because it is the space you have with all the seats up, and it handles a full grocery run with the family aboard. Fold the rows and the Traverse takes flat-packed furniture home without a trailer.

What is the 2027 Traverse's EPA fuel economy, front-wheel versus all-wheel drive?

Front-wheel-drive models are EPA-rated at 20 city, 26 highway and 22 combined; all-wheel-drive models at 20 city, 24 highway and 21 combined, per fueleconomy.gov, on regular 87-octane fuel. The all-wheel-drive car gives up only one highway and one combined MPG, so the drivetrain choice is really about traction rather than fuel cost. Your actual mileage will vary with load, weather and route.

Is the 2027 Traverse's 5,000-pound tow rating the same on every trim?

Yes. The maximum tow rating of 5,000 pounds properly equipped holds across the LT, Z71, RS and High Country rather than being unique to one trim, because every trim shares the same turbocharged engine and the towing is tied to the included trailering equipment. Properly equipped means the correct hitch and wiring for the specific build, and the figure is a maximum. Five thousand pounds covers a boat, a pair of watercraft or a small camper.

How many seats does the 2027 Traverse have?

Up to eight. Eight-passenger seating comes from the available second-row bench on the LT; the Z71, RS and High Country seat seven with second-row captain's chairs. Every trim is a three-row vehicle with an adult-usable third row and 41.5 inches of second-row legroom.

What is the warranty on a 2027 Chevrolet Traverse?

Chevrolet's standard new-vehicle coverage: 3 years or 36,000 miles bumper-to-bumper, 5 years or 60,000 miles on the powertrain, and 6 years or 100,000 miles of rust-through protection, whichever comes first. One scheduled maintenance visit within the first year is included, covering an oil and filter change, a tire rotation and a multi-point inspection. All of it is honored by the Certified Service department here in Tulsa.

What does the 2027 Traverse weigh?

Curb weight is 4,504 pounds for the LT with front-wheel drive and 4,793 pounds for the Z71 with all-wheel drive, and GVWR on the Z71 all-wheel-drive build is 6,394 pounds. Those are per-configuration figures rather than lineup blankets, and payload should never be worked out by subtracting curb weight from GVWR. Bring the trim and drivetrain you have in mind to 4924 S Memorial Dr, Tulsa, OK 74145, or call (918) 921-2100, and we will read the door-jamb label with you. The comparison page lines these numbers up against the Traverse's rivals.
