By the looks of it, the
crossover shares little or no sheetmetal with its siblings. As speculated, the
Traverse wears a front fascia inspired by the Malibu and indicates the future styling of other
Chevrolet models. It features a chrome-rimmed front grille and available projector beam headlights. The current
Traverse's exterior styling also includes turn signals integrated into the side mirrors, an integrated rear spoiler, 17-, 18- or 20-inch wheels, an available panoramic sunroof, and optional dual exhaust.

Instead, it can be added as a stand alone option that use a display integrated into the rear-view mirror. The
Traverse also uses smaller mirrors integrated into the side mirrors to reduce blind spots. Although the
Traverse shares its underpinnings with other GM Lambda CUVs, the
Traverse actually utilizes a slightly different drivetrain. Whereas the other Lambdas uses a 3.6-liter V6 with
MPFI, the
Traverse uses a 3.6-liter
V6 with direct-injection -- upping both output and fuel economy.

This current-generation is rated at 286 horsepower and 255 lb-ft of torque -- 281 horsepower and 253 lb-ft of torque with a single-exhaust setup -- up from the Lambda norm of 275 horsepower and 251 lb-ft of torque. But despite the jump in horsepower, the
Traverse returns better fuel economy than its Lambda brethren with a 24 miles per gallon rating on the highway.
2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Interior
Inside, the
Traverse uses the same twin-cockpit design that can be found in the Malibu. The
Traverse's instrument panel houses twin gauge clusters trimmed with chrome accents. Standard and available interior amenities include a rear parking sensor, rear view camera, power liftgate, remote start, heated and cooled front seats, a
navigation system,
DVD entertainment and OnStar. Of note, customers don't have to opt for the navigation system to get a
rear camera.
