Representatives of Chevrolet stated thatthe US market for the period from 2009 to 2011 was sold more than 305 thousand copies of the Chevrolet Traverse. Such a stunning success of the brand, in their opinion, can be explained by the presence of a spacious body for eight seats and a powerful engine, because for many Americans, such indicators are almost the most important. In connection with this popularity, there were no special reasons for a significant upgrade of the car, however, in the concern General Motors they thought differently. As a result, during the showroom in New York, the restyling version of the Chevrolet Traverse 2013 debuted.
The novelty is equipped with the same gasolineengine with a volume of 3.6 liters. It has a mechanism that regulates the phases of the gas distribution, and is also characterized by direct injection. The difference from the predecessor is only to improve the exhaust system, due to what the engine power increased from 281 to 286 horsepower. As for the gearbox, it is only available in one version - a six-stage machine. But the buyers of the new Chevrolet Traverse had the opportunity to choose between the types of transmission. Now it happens with a full or front-wheel drive.
Speaking about the interior of the novelty, first of all,should be noted for better materials that are used in the finish. Compared with the previous variation of the car, the adjustment of all internal panels became more accurate. Front seats are covered with leather and have adjustable headrests. As for the second row, in the new Chevrolet Traverse it is available in two versions: with a sofa or with armchairs. Regarding this series, it should be noted that here three adult passengers can be placed comfortably enough, which can not be said about many other cars. We also emphasize easy access to the rear seats. The center console, which is lined with soft plastic, features a 6.5-inch entertainment entertainment system. It also has an informational purpose.
In the exterior of the car should pay attention toto the manufacturer's refusal of a double radiator grille. It was replaced by a traditional version, which ends with a wide air intake in the lower part of the completely modified bumper. At the rear of the novelty, the location of the license plate has been moved, which will now be on the back cover. Under the condition of folding the seats, the trunk volume grows to 690 liters. Note also the new lights, equipped with LEDs, which give the car a more sporty look.
Engineers General Motors also worked oncontrollability, which in the updated version of Chevrolet Traverse has significantly improved. A high smoothness of the machine is provided largely thanks to a system that monitors tire pressure. A special intelligent system distributes torque between the axles and increases traction in slippery conditions. All the decisions regarding the adhesion of the car to the road are taken by the system independently and automatically. As a result of a series of crash tests, cars were awarded high marks, which make it now one of the safest. According to the representatives of the manufacturer, the serial production of the model will start at the end of this year. If we talk about the cost of the new Chevrolet Traverse, the price of its basic equipment will be approximately 29 thousand dollars.
