To feature best-in-class fuel efficiency from a direct-injected 3.6L V-6
Chevrolet announces the all-new 2009 Traverse

Press release, Dubai, UAE, 6  February 2008.

Introduced at the Chicago Auto Show (February 6-17, 2008), the 2009 Chevrolet Traverse is an expressively styled, well-equipped crossover that gives customers people-hauling and cargo-carrying capability typically found in larger SUVs.

The Traverse delivers refined details with strong proportions and the bold front-end appearance found on all new Chevrolets.

“We think the Traverse is the right vehicle at the right time,” said Ed Peper, Chevrolet general manager. “It has great looks, utility and safety, with a driving experience typically found in smaller vehicles. But it delivers this with three rows of seating – including a third row that fits adults – and class-leading cargo space. The Traverse is following the formula that is bringing Chevrolet back to a new generation of consumers – great styling, loads of class-leading features and tremendous value.”

The Traverse will enter production in the third quarter of 2008 at GM’s Spring Hill, Tenn. manufacturing facility, and will be offered in LS, LT and LTZ models, in both front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations, with best-in-class fuel efficiency from a direct-injected 3.6L V-6 engine.
