Families in the Fort Bragg area are always on the move. Between school drop-offs, sports practice, weekend trips, and grocery runs, the right SUV can feel like a second home on wheels. At Powers Swain Chevrolet, we have spent plenty of time listening to parents, grandparents, and everyone in between about what they want to know about the new 2025 Chevrolet Traverse.
Instead of handing you a dry spec sheet, we have gathered the most common questions and answered them in a way that feels more like a neighborly chat than a lecture.
Q: Will the 2025 Chevrolet Traverse fit my entire crew comfortably?
Yes, and with room to spare. The 2025 Chevrolet Traverse has three full rows that can seat up to eight people without anyone feeling like they ended up in the least comfortable spot. The front seats give you a clear and commanding view of the road. The second row has generous legroom that allows adults to relax, and the third row is roomy enough to keep passengers comfortable for the entire trip.
Then there is the cargo space. Fold the seats down and you have 98 cubic feet ready for beach chairs, camping gear, or the full load from a weekend shopping trip. Even with passengers in every seat, there is still useful space for backpacks, sports bags, and strollers.
Q: How does it handle keeping my family safe?
The 2025 Chevrolet Traverse comes with a long list of safety features that work to keep you aware and confident on the road. Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist, and Forward Collision Alert are standard. These systems act like a second set of eyes, helping you react quickly when it matters.
In crowded parking lots, Rear Pedestrian Alert and HD Surround Vision help you avoid surprises. For parents of young drivers, Teen Driver mode lets you set boundaries for speed and get driving feedback so you can hand over the keys with more peace of mind.
Q: Is it comfortable for long drives or only tolerable?
This is an SUV designed with long journeys in mind. The seats are supportive without being too firm, and even the third row offers a level of comfort that keeps passengers from shifting around restlessly.
Chevy worked to keep the cabin quiet, so you can enjoy conversation without raising your voice over road noise. In the higher trims, ventilated front seats make summer drives cooler, while heated seats add comfort during winter mornings.
Q: Can it handle more than city streets?
Yes. With available all-wheel drive, the 2025 Chevrolet Traverse is ready for more than a paved commute. Rainy mornings, sandy beach parking, and unpaved roads are all well within its capabilities.
For those who like to explore further, the Z71 trim adds all-terrain tires, special suspension tuning, and protective skid plates. From a trip to the mountains to navigating a muddy sports field, the 2025 Chevrolet Traverse is prepared to take it on.
Q: Will I have trouble parking it?
For a three-row SUV, the 2025 Chevrolet Traverse is surprisingly easy to maneuver. Its turning circle is tight for its size, and features like the HD Rear Vision Camera help you back into tight spaces with confidence.
Even if your driveway is compact, you will not need to spend extra time inching forward and back just to park.
Q: What is new for the 2025 Chevrolet Traverse?
This year, Chevy has added thoughtful upgrades. The High Country trim brings leather-appointed seating, chrome accents, and ambient lighting for a warm, inviting cabin.
The exterior styling has sharper lines with available sequential turn signals that give it a fresh, modern look. Inside, the Convenience Package is now standard, which means heated seats and remote start are more widely available. The Trailering Package comes standard on the LT trim, making it easier to tow a small boat or camper without extra equipment.
Q: How is the fuel economy for a vehicle this size?
For a large three-row SUV, the numbers are quite strong. The 2.5L turbocharged engine can reach up to 27 MPG on the highway in front-wheel drive. That means fewer fuel stops on long trips.
It also delivers 328 horsepower, so even when fully loaded with passengers and gear, the 2025 Chevrolet Traverse can merge onto the highway or climb hills without strain.
Q: How does it compare to other SUVs?
The 2025 Chevrolet Traverse stands out for its balance of space, comfort, and technology. It offers more cargo room than many of its closest competitors, so families have the flexibility to carry what they need without sacrificing passenger comfort.
Many of its advanced safety features come standard rather than as costly extras. There is also a wide choice of trims, from practical family-focused options to models with a more luxurious feel, which allows buyers to select the one that best suits their lifestyle.
Q: Will my passengers enjoy the ride as much as I do?
Most likely. Wide door openings make getting in and out easier for passengers in every row. Multiple charging ports keep devices powered, and rear climate controls mean passengers can adjust the temperature to their liking without asking the driver.
The available Bose® 10-speaker audio system ensures music, podcasts, or audiobooks sound crisp and clear. For long drives, this makes a noticeable difference in how enjoyable the trip feels.
Q: What do families say after driving the 2025 Chevrolet Traverse for a while?
The most common feedback is that it makes everyday life easier. Parents like the one-touch folding second row for quick access to the third row. The large rear opening makes loading bulky items simple.
Drivers also say the 2025 Chevrolet Traverse feels dependable and steady in a variety of situations, from busy commutes to weekend road trips. It is a vehicle that works just as well for daily errands as it does for special outings.
The 2025 Chevrolet Traverse offers the space, comfort, safety, and versatility that many Fort Bragg families want in a vehicle. It has room to keep everyone comfortable, the technology to help protect them, and the capability to handle not only the paved streets of everyday life.
