2012 Chevrolet Traverse 2LT

About 2012 Chevrolet Traverse The 2012 Chevrolet Traverse continues to be one of the most popular large crossovers, thanks to its balance of efficiency, spaciousness and safety. Spaciousness comes from seating for up to eight. And with up to 116.4 cubic feet of maximum cargo space (second-row seat folded and third-row seat/cargo management system remove), the Traverse offers the most storage capacity of any vehicle in its segment. Changes for 2012 include two new exterior colors -- Dark Silver Metallic and Crystal Red Tintcoat. Traverse has a unique profile with a smooth and flowing design. Elements such as chrome-ringed grille inserts and large wheel-and-tire combinations highlight the vehicle's attention to detail. The 2012 Traverse's interior blends refined styling, technology and attention to detail. The instrument panel has a dual-cockpit design, while its "low and away" position enhances outward visibility. Three rows of seating are standard on all models, with the second row offered as a bench that seats up to three or a pair of bucket seats. The Traverse's 3.6L engine's direct injection technology helps produce power similar to many V-8 engines and uses regular unleaded gasoline. It is rated at 288 horsepower and 270 lb.-ft. of torque with dual exhaust. The 3.6L engine is mated to the Hydra-Matic 6T75 six-speed automatic transmission, an advanced transmission with clutch-to-clutch shift operation for front- and all-wheel-drive vehicles. It also offers automatic grade braking, shift stabilization and precise shift control.
