2018 Chevy Traverse RS Delivers Top-rate Performance, First-class Cargo Room

During the winter months here at West Chevy in Knoxville, some of you may picture us in a group around the table, trying to stay warm, sometimes shoveling a bit of snow, and having more time on our hands than usual. While this is a funny way to envision things, it is actually far from the truth! We are loaded up for the New Year with excellent financing options, new models on the lot, and are anxious to offer test drives for those of you making the move to purchase. One of the very exciting and feature-filled additions to the 2018 mix is the brand new Traverse RS. Proudly touting turbocharged performance and aggressive new styling options, it adds an element of very thrilling-to-drive charm into the existing midsize SUV category.

Based on the redesigned 2018 Traverse, the RS boasts a front-running maximum cargo room of 98.2 cubic feet, more technology options than the previous model, and an enhanced list of safety features to effectively protect you and your passengers. Some customers noticed during years past that the Traverse could use a release that provided a bit more of a street-inspired appearance, and this comfortable and connected version offers up integrated options for every lifestyle. The unique design element that really allows the RS to stand apart from the crowd is the black grille, followed up closely by black window trim, roof rails, and bowtie emblems, as well as a 20-inch aluminum wheel set finished with a dark Android hue.

The RS is the very first in the Traverse family to offer turbocharged performance, providing a very rich and spirited driving experience, with a unique breed of punch and off-the-line engagement. A direct-injected Ecotec 2.0-liter turbo engine completes the task of generation up to 257 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, paired to a 9-speed automatic transmission. Estimated fuel economy is 20 mpg for the city, and 26 mpg on the highway, a standing accomplishment for a vehicle with the solidity and cargo space of the Traverse RS.

Many customers that we have talked to rank comfort as the highest quality on their list, as they truly want to feel at home while on longer travels. The Traverse RS provides Jet Black Leather-appointed seating, heated front seats, and tri-zone automatic climate control to keep everyone snug and in good spirits. Ask us about how you can also get hooked up with the Bose Premium 10-speaker audio system: there is no better way to assure that you have a pleasurable drive than by having ample capabilities for the tunes.

Remote Keyless Entry is also a lifesaver for many who may be running a bit late, and safety features such as Rear Cross Traffic Alert will solidify peace of mind for you during any tense moments in your commute. You'll also have the awesome added safety feature of a 360-degree camera on board: it is now more pertinent than ever to give the area around you a thorough check before embarking on the road!
