WHAT YOU SEE IS MOST DEFINITELY WHAT YOU GET.
Get ready for a more spirited and more expressive form of practical transportation. One with a strong presence, captivating style and an impressive
list of credentials that is sure to vault it to the top of your list. It all begins with a 3.6L V6 engine that uses Direct Injection and Variable Valve
Timing to maximize power, while also delivering the best highway fuel effi ciency among eight-passenger crossovers.* Traverse’s leadership extends
to its best-in-class hauling capabilities, with the highest maximum cargo and towing capacities.** Traverse also earned the highest possible
U.S. government frontal and side-impact crash test rating – fi ve stars,† plus the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety Pick
for 2009.†† And the standard StabiliTrak® electronic stability control system in tandem with traction control enhance your command of the road,
helping you avoid an incident before it occurs. Yes, a vehicle that looks this good can also have this much to offer. The 2011 Chevrolet Traverse. |

EIGHT IS MORE THAN ENOUGH.
You have quite the social circle, between your family and friends. Fortunately, Traverse is quite the vehicle, with standard seating for eight.
And since you like to take good care of them all, Traverse includes Smart SlideTM second-row seating that makes it easier to enter and exit
the third-row seat, or to expand second-row legroom. The cabin temperature is also passenger-friendly, with automatic tri-zone climate
controls on 2LT and LTZ models, as well as heated and cooled front bucket seats on LTZ. As the driver, you receive the added comfort
of a power eight-way driver’s seat that is standard on all but LS models. Keep your social circle together in comfort – inside Traverse. |

WIN THE SPACE RACE.
It isn’t only the volume of space that makes Traverse such a versatile vehicle; it’s also the interior’s fl exibility. That begins with your choice
of the standard eight-passenger or available seven-passenger seating confi gurations. Even with every seat occupied, Traverse offers a
generous amount of cargo space behind the third-row seat. If transporting cargo becomes your priority, you’ll be gratifi ed to learn that
Traverse offers class-leading maximum cargo space – 3296 L (116.4 cu. ft.)*. That’s a whopping amount of space available for your gear.
It’s the vehicle that offers you the space you need – and the fl exibility required to take full advantage of it. |

TAKE AVOIDANCE MEASURES.
Traverse is equipped with a thoughtful series of technologies that make it easier to avoid common pitfalls of contemporary driving – from
objects behind you in a parking spot to unclear directions to your destination. Some help you navigate immediate challenges, such as the
available Rearview Camera System and ultrasonic rear parking assist, standard on all but LS models, that provides an audible warning alert
when it detects objects behind the vehicle as you are backing up. Others help you plan your best route, like the available Navigation System
radio that includes voice recognition functionality.* Traverse also provides entertainment you won’t want to miss, with standard XM Satellite
RadioTM** that includes the largest playlist on the planet. Enhanced avoidance meets enhanced enjoyment in Traverse. |

FIRST PREVENT, THEN PROTECT.
The first priority in the design and engineering of Traverse is to help you avoid an incident before it happens. That is accomplished with a
series of advanced driver control systems, including the standard StabiliTrak electronic stability control system that intervenes to correct for
oversteer and understeer. The system also includes Enhanced Rollover Protection and integrates with the standard electronic full-function
traction control and the four-wheel anti-lock braking system with dynamic rear proportioning to provide tremendously assured handling.
And to better handle the Canadian climate, the available automatic on-demand all-wheel-drive system adds all-weather traction. If a collision
cannot be avoided, Traverse is equipped with comprehensive occupant protection, highlighted by six standard air bags.* They help Traverse
achieve the highest possible U.S. government frontal and side-impact crash test rating: fi ve stars.** And the standard OnStar®† system
includes Advanced Automatic Collision Notifi cation. Prevention plus protection. |

POWER AND FUEL EFFICIENCY – THE DYNAMIC DUO.
Traverse achieves its incredible combination of robust power and unexpected fuel effi ciency by incorporating advanced engine management
technology. The dynamic duo in play here is Variable Valve Timing (VVT) and Direct Injection. Variable Valve Timing automatically adjusts
the timing of the valve operation to reduce fuel consumption while increasing power output. Direct Injection delivers fuel directly into the
combustion chamber for a more complete burn, reducing both fuel demand and emissions. The results speak for themselves: the 3.6L
V6 engine produces 281 horsepower in LS and LT models and 288 horsepower in LTZ. That substantial power translates into an impressive,
class-leading 2359 kg (5200 lb.) towing capacity,* when properly equipped. The fuel effi ciency is also exemplary – the V6 engine and six speed
automatic transmission combination help Traverse deliver 8.4 L/100 km highway ratings.** Now that’s a dynamic approach to power. |
