8 passenger CUV capable of towing 5,200 pounds

Although the Traverse crossover utility vehicle shares underpinnings with the Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia and Saturn Outlook, its styling reflects Chevrolet’s latest design direction.
Wind-cheating fuel economy may be the theme behind the all new 2009 Chevy Traverse, but it has some real numbers to back it up. Its 0.33 aerodynamic drag coefficient makes it the sleekest crossover in the segment. A new, efficient 3.6L V-6 with direct injection technology, fuel-saving
six-speed automatic transmission and exterior designed for minimal resistance all contribute to what is expected to be a segment best highway fuel economy.
The Traverse uses a 3.6L V6 with direct-injection — rated at 286 horsepower and 255 lb-ft of torque (281 horsepower and 253 lb-ft of torque with a single-exhaust setup). Ninety percent of the engine’s peak torque is available from approximately 2,500 rpm to more than 6,000 rpm. The 3.6L engine is mated to the Hydra-Matic 6T75 six-speed automatic transmission, an advanced transmission with clutch-to-clutch shift operation for front- and all-wheel-drive vehicles. Also, the 6T75 offers automatic grade braking, shift stabilization and precise shift control.
Vehicle Highlights:
Powerful and fuel-efficient 3.6L V-6 with direct injection technology
Towing capacity of 5,200 pounds (2,358 kg)
Seating for up to eight
Expressive, Malibu-inspired design
OnStar 8.0 with Turn-by-Turn Navigation and Destination Download eNav feature
Available Bluetooth phone connectivity
XM Satellite Radio with available real-time traffic advisement
Two available rearview camera systems
