2022 Chevrolet Traverse AWD Premier: The Ultimate Family Command Center
Imagine pulling out of a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood in Effingham on a crisp Saturday morning, the sun catching the deep metallic flake of the Cherry Red Tintcoat paint. You are heading out for a full day of youth soccer games and community events, and for the first time, you are not worried about whether everythingâ"and everyoneâ"will fit. The 2022 Chevrolet Traverse AWD Premier is designed specifically for the modern family that refuses to compromise on style or capability, offering a sophisticated presence that feels right at home in the suburban landscapes of Central Illinois.
This isn't just a means of transportation; it is a mobile headquarters for the household on the move. Whether you are navigating the bustling school zones or heading out to the local parks for a family picnic, this SUV provides the space, safety, and stature required by a busy lifestyle. It bridges the gap between rugged utility and high-end refinement, ensuring that every trip across town or across the state is handled with effortless poise. For families who value a strong sense of community and local pride, this Traverse represents the perfect partner for all of lifes upcoming milestones.
Performance & Capability for the Central Illinois Landscape
Under the hood of this Traverse lies a robust 3.6L V-6 gasoline direct injection engine that delivers a commanding 310HP. This powerplant is paired with a sophisticated 9-speed automatic transmission, providing smooth, linear acceleration that makes merging onto the highway near Paris feel completely effortless. The powertrain is engineered with Dual-overhead cam (DOHC) and VVT variable valve control, ensuring that the engine operates at peak efficiency whether you are idling in a carpool lane or cruising at highway speeds.
The All Wheel Drive system is a critical asset for residents of the Midwest, where weather conditions can shift in an instant. This Traverse features a Drivetrain selectable Drive Mode Selector, allowing the driver to tailor the vehicles performance to the specific terrain. With Traction Mode Select, you can confidently transition from dry pavement to slick, rain-soaked backroads without losing your composure. The Independent front and rear suspension work in harmony to soak up road imperfections, providing a ride quality that is both stable and serene.
Efficiency is also a key part of the equation, with an EPA-estimated 25 highway MPG. The inclusion of an Auto stop-start engine system helps conserve fuel during frequent stops in town, while the Heavy-Duty Cooling System and Transmission oil cooler ensure that the mechanical components remain at optimal temperatures even during the heat of a humid Illinois summer. This is a vehicle built to handle the gently rolling plains and the open agricultural stretches of our region with absolute confidence.
Advanced Technology and Seamless Connectivity
In todays world, staying connected is a necessity, not a luxury. The 2022 Traverse Premier is equipped with the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Plus System, featuring an 8 inch primary display with a highly responsive touchscreen interface. This system serves as the nerve center for your digital life, offering Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smart device wireless mirroring. This allows you to access your favorite navigation apps, music playlists, and contacts without ever having to plug in a cable.
For those longer trips, the Integrated navigation system with voice activation provides clear, turn-by-turn directions, while Chevrolet Connected Navigation offers real-time traffic updates to help you bypass congestion. The audio experience is nothing short of transformative, thanks to the Bose premium 10-speaker system which includes a dedicated subwoofer in the center console. Every seat in the house becomes the best seat when your favorite media is rendered with such clarity.
Keeping devices powered up is simple with 6 USB ports spread throughout the cabin, ensuring that every passenger can keep their tablet or smartphone charged. Up front, the Wireless Phone Charging pad provides a convenient place to tuck your phone away while it tops off its battery. Additionally, the Wi-Fi Hotspot capable hardware ensures that your passengers can stay productive or entertained, effectively turning the Traverse into a mobile office or theater as you travel between local destinations.
A Refined Interior Designed for Seven
The interior of the Traverse Premier is a masterclass in functional luxury, featuring Jet Black Leather front seat upholstery that is both durable and sophisticated. The cabin is configured with Second-row bucket seats, providing easy access to the Third-row split-bench seat. This 7-passenger layout ensures that everyone has ample personal space, which is a significant advantage during the daily commute through Arcola. The Tri-zone automatic climate control allows the driver, front passenger, and rear occupants to set their own individual temperature preferences, ending the age-old debate over the cabin environment.
While this specific model is noted as Not Equipped with Driver and Front Passenger Heated Or Ventilated Seats or a heated steering wheel due to specific production configurations, it excels in every other comfort category. The Power tilting and telescopic steering wheel and 8-way power driver seat with 2-way power lumbar support allow you to find the perfect ergonomic position for long-distance comfort. The Dual sunroof design, featuring a First-row sliding and tilting glass sunroof and a second-row fixed pane, floods the cabin with natural light and creates an airy, open atmosphere for all occupants.
Utility is baked into the design, with a Power liftgate that offers Proximity cargo area access. This means you can open the rear hatch even when your hands are full of groceries or sports equipment. Inside, you will find Cargo area concealed storage under the rear floor, perfect for keeping valuables out of sight. The 120V AC power outlet in the interior is a thoughtful touch, allowing you to plug in small electronics or chargers that require a standard household plug.
Safety and Driver Assistance Technology
Safety is the cornerstone of any family vehicle, and the 2022 Traverse Premier is loaded with intelligent systems designed to act as an extra set of eyes on the road. The HD Surround Vision camera system provides a comprehensive aerial view of the vehicle, making it much easier to navigate tight parking spots at the community center. This is complemented by Rear Pedestrian Alert and Front Pedestrian Braking, which provide an added layer of protection in busy areas where foot traffic is common.
On the highway, Adaptive Cruise Control maintains a preset distance from the vehicle ahead, reducing driver fatigue during longer stretches of travel. The Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning helps ensure you stay centered in your lane, while Side Blind Zone Alert monitors those hard-to-see areas when you are planning a lane change. For families with younger drivers, the Teen Driver mode is an invaluable tool. This configurable feature allows you to set volume limits, speed alerts, and even provides an in-vehicle report card to help coach new drivers toward safer habits.
The Traverse also includes the Buckle to Drive system, which encourages seatbelt use by preventing the vehicle from being shifted out of Park for a short period if the driver is unbuckled. With a total of 7 airbags, including Curtain overhead airbags for all three rows, the Traverse is engineered to provide maximum occupant protection. Every detail, from the Following Distance Indicator to the Rear Cross Traffic Alert, is focused on one goal: getting your family to their destination safely.
Exterior Design and The Redline Edition
The exterior of this Traverse is defined by the striking Redline Edition package, which replaces traditional brightwork with aggressive, blacked-out accents. The 20-inch black aluminum wheels feature distinct red accents that pop against the Cherry Red Tintcoat finish. The Dark chrome grille and black door handles give the vehicle a modern, custom-look appearance that stands out in any parking lot. This is an SUV that manages to look sporty and sophisticated simultaneously.
Visibility is enhanced by high-performance LED low and high beam headlights and LED daytime running lights, ensuring a clear view of the road ahead regardless of the time of day. The Auto high-beam headlights (IntelliBeam) automatically toggle between high and low beams based on surrounding traffic, so you can focus entirely on the drive. Functional elements like the Roof rails and the Class III tow rating with a Trailer hitch mean this vehicle is as capable as it is attractive. Whether you are hauling a small boat to the lake or simply carrying extra gear on the roof, the Traverse is ready for the task.
