If your family loves adventure and needs to navigate Alexandria's busy downtown streets, the brand-new Traverse might hit the nail right on the head. Let's dive in and go over why this might be the model for you and your family.

A Stylish Exterior Design

Chevy knows how to turn heads on the road, and the Traverse makes a great first impression. With its sloping lines and chic modern décor, the Traverse's exterior is a real eye-catcher on the streets of Alexandria. Its LED daytime running lamps pierce the front end, accentuating the front grille and its bold design. You get the sense that this SUV is both sophisticated and energetic. Some trim levels have additional exterior features, such as roof rails, fog lights, and heated side mirrors. Higher trim levels show even more refinement, with chrome added to the roof rails and door handles. There is an option for blacked-out accents and styling cues if you select the RS trim level.

A Cavernous Cabin

Families need a lot of cabin space, and Chevy makes the most of it in the Traverse. This SUV's interior carves out plenty of room for both people and cargo, with three rows of seating available for up to eight passengers. Kids can fit comfortably in the third row, and the Smart Slide second-row seats make it easy to access the third row. Knees, elbows, and heads fit comfortably into the first two rows, even if you are a taller adult.

Getting to the cargo area can be made even simpler with the available hands-free power liftgate. If you need more room for cargo, there is an option for power-folding on the third-row seats, giving you up to 98.3 cu.ft. of space with both rows down. You can stash all kinds of items in the cargo area, whether you are loading up your golf clubs to hit the course or bringing home groceries from one of Alexandria's farmers' markets.

Cutting-Edge Tech

Let's face it: the world is driven by technology, and that means technology is part of every drive. Having all the right advanced tech gadgets in a vehicle is important for many families. When you take the Traverse out for a test drive, you might find yourself enjoying the user-friendly Chevrolet Infotainment 3 System. You can use it to listen to music, access your favorite apps, and use in-vehicle navigation to get to your destination with ease. There are other tech features you can use, too. Use onboard Wi-Fi to turn your vehicle into a mobile hotspot, keeping you connected while on the go. A wireless charging pad is available, as is satellite radio. You can plug into any USB ports in the cabin and recharge your devices, and your occupants can recharge theirs.

Prime Standard Safety Features

Safety is clearly a chief concern among anyone looking to buy a new vehicle for their family. Having all the right safety designs and features leads to better peace of mind for concerned parents. After all, getting around Alexandria can sometimes be a little hazardous. That's where the Traverse's advanced driver aids, known as Chevy Safety Assist, come into play. Lane Keep Assist and Forward Collision Alert with Automatic Emergency Braking are standard across the lineup and work to help you avoid potential crashes.

Should you choose to upgrade, there are more driver assistance features you can use. Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Alert can tell you when another vehicle is in your blind spot while you are in reverse or as you change lanes. Rear parking sensors warn you of objects you might not see behind the Traverse when you park. You can also benefit from Adaptive Cruise Control, a rear mirror camera, and HD Surround Vision when you equip the LT Premium package on the LT Leather or opt for any trim level above it. The Premier trim adds a Safety Alert Seat to warn of possible collisions by vibrating the driver's seat.

A Stellar Driving Performance

Sure, it is important to have a practical family hauler, but you also deserve to have something that puts in an engaging driving performance. After all, you can have plenty of fun while driving a practical SUV. The standard 3.6L V6 engine delivers 310 hp and 266 lb-ft of torque to get this large vehicle up and moving. Acceleration is snappy, making getting around the city and onto the highway fun. On top of that, handling has a spirited feel, and the vehicle feels quite agile. Getting to the office, dropping the kids off at school, or setting out on a weekend adventure has never been this cool.

Family-Friendly Fuel Economy

To cap it all off, Alexandria's busy families will find that each trip to the gas station is less expensive than they might think. Most buyers do not assume that a large third-row SUV can be fuel efficient, but compared to its rivals, the Chevy Traverse's V6 pulls some decent numbers. The EPA estimates the Traverse gets 18 MPG in the city and 27 MPG on the highway. You can go ahead and explore Alexandria's historic sites, haul your kids to school and activities, and commute to and from work without worrying about making frequent stops at the pump.
