THE CAR: 2018 TRAVERSE FWD 3LT Leather
It was fun, fun and more fun driving the black currant metallic with the dark atmosphere/med ash gray interior 2018 TRAVERSE FWD 3 LT Leather. This crossover handles well, is quiet (not a lot of road noise), comfortable and has a nice ride. Yay, there is lots of legroom, making the cabin accommodating and quite comfy. There is easy access to the third row. Once you’re back there, you have USB ports for charging. The second row has climate control and a power outlet. There is also 23 cubic ft. of cargo space. Fold the second row down and you get 98.2 cubic ft. This is comfortable for long, family trips. Best of all, it’s affordable – coming in at $44,490.
This is a nice looking SUV, really nice. It handles well, is quiet (limited road noise), comfortable and has a pleasant ride. Hallelujah for the generous amount of legroom, and for making the cabin accommodating and quite comfy. This three-row crossover with a convenient deck is a womanly and manly car with a spacious interior. The Chevrolet MyLink infotainment system ROCKS! The third row is OK for kids. It could/would be OK for adults if the second row is moved forward. The 2018 version presents fine-tuning as well as packaging and connectivity advances. Conveniently there are two USB charge points for the second row – coupled with a 110-volt outlet.
