How much cargo can the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse hold?

Maximum cargo volume is 98 cubic feet, which Chevrolet rates as best in class. That figure represents the Traverse in its most open configuration, with the rear rows folded flat.

Ninety-eight cubic feet is the difference between renting something for a dorm move and just loading the SUV in the driveway. For households in Oak Lawn and Palos Heights that treat a three-row as the family truck, it is often the deciding number, more than horsepower or trim badge.

How many passengers does the 2027 Traverse seat?

Seven-passenger seating is standard and eight-passenger seating is available. Choosing between them is a real decision rather than a formality.

Seven seats with second-row captain’s chairs give a permanent walkway to the third row, which matters for carpools where kids load themselves. Eight seats with a second-row bench maximize headcount, which matters for teams, church groups and extended families across Evergreen Park and Burbank. Webb Chevy Oak Lawn will show both layouts back to back at 9440 S. Cicero Ave.

What do Smart Slide Seats and One-Touch Fold do?

Smart Slide Seats handle third-row access by moving the second row out of the way. The RS goes further with a One-Touch Fold automatic second row, which performs the motion for you.

A power-folding third row is also available. Together those three items address the part of three-row ownership that wears people down: reconfiguring seats in a parking lot with a car seat in one hand. The hardware is the difference between a seven-seat SUV that gets used as a seven-seat SUV and one where the back row stays folded all year.

How big is the touchscreen and is it standard?

The 17.7-inch infotainment touchscreen is standard on every 2027 Traverse trim. There is no smaller base screen to avoid and no package to buy.

That is a meaningful equipment position at a $40,800 starting point. Buyers cross-shopping in Oak Lawn often assume the big display lives on the $49,100 Z71 only, and it does not.

What is the AutoSense Power Liftgate?

The AutoSense Power Liftgate opens hands-free. It is the feature customers at Webb Chevy Oak Lawn mention first after a week of ownership, ahead of anything on the screen.

The use case is mundane and constant: a grocery run in Chicago Ridge, a hardware store trip off S. Cicero Ave, a stroller and a diaper bag at the same time. Paired with 98 cubic feet of maximum cargo volume, it makes the back of the vehicle easy to actually use.

How does 2027 Traverse interior space compare with the 2026 Honda Pilot?

The verified Chevrolet figures are 98 cubic feet of best-in-class maximum cargo volume, 7-passenger seating standard with 8 available, and a standard 17.7-inch touchscreen on every trim.

The 2026 Honda Pilot is the usual cross-shop for three-row space, and it wins the tape measure at the back. Honda publishes 113.7 cubic feet behind the first row against 98 for the Traverse, plus 60.1 cubic feet behind the second row and 22.4 behind the third, and the Pilot seats eight passengers where the Traverse seats seven standard with eight available. The Traverse answers on access and screen, with Smart Slide Seats, an available power-folding third row and a 17.7-inch touchscreen standard on every trim, and it opens about $1,395 lower on base MSRP.

How to read this comparison: The Traverse leads on output by 43 horsepower and 64 lb-ft and opens about $1,395 lower on base MSRP. The Pilot leads on maximum cargo behind the first row, 113.7 cubic feet against 98, and it seats eight. Both tow 5,000 pounds when properly equipped, though the Pilot needs all-wheel drive to reach that figure. Honda’s $42,195 starting price excludes destination, tax, license, registration and accessories, so ask Webb Chevy Oak Lawn at 9440 S. Cicero Ave for an out-the-door number on both.
