2018 Chevy Traverse RS Offers Unique Styling, Proves Rewards of Thinking Big

As the winter months continue to progress here at Orielly Chevy in Tucson, many of our blog readers may be trying to picture our daily regimen. They may think that we are huddling around the meeting table trying to keep warm, swapping snow shoveling duties, and perhaps having too much time on our hands. While this is a funny way to think of the situation, it is actually quite far from the truth! The winter is a time when we focus on offering new financing options, admire new models as they arrive at the lot, and are preparing to embark on test drives for those deciding which vehicle is their best choice.

One of the front-running contenders loaded with features is the brand new Chevy Traverse RS. Bringing to the table a full product lineup positioned to be competition across the entire SUV segment, the street-inspired look is eye-catching, and a more connected vehicle for every lifestyle is presented. Delivering excellent turbocharged performance and aggressive new styling, the Traverse RS injects a high dose of thrilling-to-drive charm into the existing midsize SUV category. With a concept based on the redesigned 2018 Traverse, the RS provides 98.2 cubic feet of cargo room, more in the way of tech options than the previous model, and an enhanced list of safety features, offering the optimum in protection for you and your passengers.

Reaping the benefits of thinking big, the Traverse has a wheelbase that's two inches longer than its predecessor, and provides more headroom and legroom for the second-and third-row riders – this is impressive, considering that the last version boasted one of the most spacious cabins in its class. One feature that really places the RS in a position to stand out from the crowd is the new black grille, accompanied by black window trim, roof nails, and bowtie emblems, as well as a 20-inch aluminum wheel set featuring a dark Android hue.

Whenever a model possesses a “first” in terms of a new production trait, a very appealing image is created that sets it aside from the others in the lineup. The crossover SUV category is understandably popular, as many families and young professionals flock to the designs that are the most practical for them. The RS is the very first model in the Traverse family that offers turbocharged performance, which is the key to its high-spirited and very powerful-off-the-line driving experience.

The direct-injected Ecotec 2.0-liter turbo engine does a great job of completing the task of torque and horsepower generation, resulting in 257 hp and 295 lb-foot stats respectively. The design team has successfully wrapped the 2018 Traverse in sheet metal, which results in a more square-off look. 351 pounds of weight has been shed on the Traverse, which effectively brought it down to the level of knowingly fierce competitors such as the Toyota Highlander and the Pilot. Come pay us a visit to check out other monumental features such as keyless entry, which can be a real lifesaver if you are running late on a harried morning. There is also plenty to rave about as far as safety features are concerned: the 360-degree camera on board will assure that everyone in the area is out of harm's way in the event of a rapid backup!
