H1-2022 Traverse LS vs LT Trim

If you’re considering the 2022 Chevrolet Traverse, then you’re already well on your way to enjoying all the perks this midsize SUV has to offer. 

Designed to provide the ultimate in flexibility, performance, and style, the Chevy Traverse boasts a sleek, bold look with all of the features you could want and need. And with crossover SUVs becoming one of the most popular vehicle options in both Phoenix and across the U.S., it’s no wonder that the Traverse has earned itself an impressive number of fans. Equally well-suited for families, young drivers, and experienced car shoppers alike, this is the midsize SUV that really does have it all.

Thanks to several trim levels and packages for the Traverse, every driver can customize the vehicle to fit their preferences. Not only can you choose from trim options that include the go-to favorites, LS and LT options, but you can also upgrade to special editions if you really want to make a stylish statement.
