Chevrolet has unveiled the third generation of its midsize, three-row SUV for the 2024 model year, and with the 2025 iteration, there are a few notable updates. The revamped Traverse features a minor rearrangement of features and welcomes back the luxurious High Country trim.
Notably, the entry-level LS trim has been discontinued, positioning the LT as the new base model, which starts at $41,995. Let’s explore what the 2025 Traverse has to offer.
An Abundance of Standard Features
The LT trim provides exceptional value with 18-inch wheels and striking LED headlamps. Inside, drivers are greeted with a comprehensive suite of technology, including an 11-inch digital gauge cluster and a generous 17.7-inch center touchscreen that supports wireless smartphone integration and comes equipped with Google built-in functionality. Additional standard amenities include heated seats, a heated steering wheel, a power liftgate, and a wireless phone charging pad.
At the upper end of the lineup, the 2025 Chevrolet Traverse High Country elevates the experience with a distinctive chrome grille and clear taillamps. Its list of premium features is impressive: 22-inch two-tone black rims, a Bose audio system with ten speakers, ambient lighting, heated and ventilated front seats, second-row captain’s chairs, a power-folding third row, a surround-view camera, and enhanced safety features such as rear pedestrian alert and traffic sign recognition.
The Enhanced Driving Package equips the High Country with advanced technologies, including the semi-autonomous Super Cruise, automatic parking assist, and a driver attention monitor, ensuring that the driver remains focused on the road. For those who tow, the technology assists in aligning the hitch with a visual guide seen through the rearview camera.
Familiar yet Upgraded Performance
Every 2025 Traverse, regardless of trim, is powered by a new 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which replaces the previous V6. Despite the reduction in cylinders, this engine generates an impressive 328 horsepower and 326 pound-feet of torque and can be paired with either front-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive (AWD). All models utilize an eight-speed automatic transmission.
In terms of efficiency, the EPA has reported significant improvements in urban fuel consumption for the 2025 model, which achieves 20 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway—an enhancement of two miles per gallon compared to the 2023 Traverse’s city rating of 18 mpg, while highway fuel economy remains unchanged. With AWD, the mileage adjusts to 19 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway, still showing a two mpg gain in urban settings, albeit a slight dip on the highway compared to the previous model.
Final Thoughts
The 2025 Chevrolet Traverse High Country has an MSRP of $54,995, presenting itself as an attractive choice for families seeking comfort and sophistication in one package. Among the new color options, the striking Stardust Metallic offers a refreshing break from the typical neutrals, harmonizing beautifully with the vehicle’s elegant chrome detailing.
