Used 2012 Chevrolet Traverse LS

2012 Chevrolet Traverse LS Sport Utility 4D – Spacious Versatility for the Modern Family
The 2012 Chevrolet Traverse LS is a premier choice in the full-size crossover segment, engineered for those who need the passenger capacity of a minivan with the rugged styling and towing capability of an SUV. Known for having one of the most spacious interiors in its class, the Traverse LS excels at providing a smooth, quiet ride for large families and all their belongings.
Under the hood, the Traverse LS is powered by a sophisticated 3.6-liter V6 engine with Direct Injection, producing 281 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a smooth-shifting 6-speed automatic transmission, this powertrain provides confident acceleration and an impressive towing capacity of up to 5,200 lbs when properly equipped. Whether you are merging onto a busy highway or pulling a small boat for a weekend getaway, the Traverse delivers reliable performance.
The driving experience is surprisingly car-like for a vehicle of its size. Built on a car-based platform rather than a truck frame, it features four-wheel independent suspension that soaks up bumps and road noise with ease. The StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control and traction control systems ensure a planted and secure feel, while the speed-proportional power steering makes it easy to maneuver through suburban neighborhoods and tight parking lots.
On the exterior, the 2012 Traverse LS features a clean, aerodynamic design with a bold split-grille and muscular wheel arches. It sits on 17-inch wheels and features power-adjustable side mirrors and automatic headlights. Its sleek profile isn't just for looks; it helps reduce wind resistance, contributing to a quieter cabin and better fuel efficiency on long highway hauls.
Inside, the cabin is remarkably cavernous, offering:
Seating for up to eight passengers with three full rows
Premium cloth upholstery with a front bucket seat configuration
6.5-inch color display with AM/FM/CD and SiriusXM satellite radio
Six air bags including head-curtain side-impact airbags for all rows
Practicality is the Traverse’s ultimate superpower. It offers a staggering 116.4 cubic feet of maximum cargo space with the second and third rows folded flat—more than almost any competitor in its class. Even with all seats in use, there is still 24.4 cu ft of space behind the third row, meaning you don't have to choose between taking the whole family or taking your luggage.
Fuel economy is efficient for a large eight-passenger vehicle, averaging approximately 17 MPG city / 24 MPG highway. This allows for fewer stops on family road trips, making it a cost-effective alternative to traditional full-size SUVs for those who prioritize space and utility.
Safety is a core focus, as the 2012 Traverse earned top marks in crash testing. It comes standard with a reinforced safety cage, a tire pressure monitoring system, and OnStar® capability for emergency services. The long wheelbase and wide track further enhance stability, providing a protective environment for all occupants.
The 2012 Chevrolet Traverse LS is the ideal 'do-it-all' vehicle for active families. It offers the perfect balance of massive interior volume, a comfortable ride, and the dependable V6 power needed to handle the demands of everyday life.
