How many safety features are standard on the 2027 Traverse?
Over 20 standard safety and driver assistance features are included on the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse. The word doing the work in that sentence is standard.
Plenty of three-row SUVs advertise a long assistance list and then gate half of it behind a package on an upper trim. Here, a buyer at the $40,800 LT price point and a buyer at the $49,100 Z71 price point start from the same safety baseline. That is worth confirming line by line, which is exactly what Webb Chevy Oak Lawn does with the window sticker.

How do you verify what a specific Traverse actually has?
Read the window sticker on that exact vehicle. Webb Chevy Oak Lawn will print it for any stock number before you commit.
This is not a formality. Equipment content can shift between build dates inside a single model year, and a generic brochure list is not a guarantee for the unit sitting on the lot at 9440 S. Cicero Ave. Of the 20 units in stock on August 10, 2026, each has its own sticker, and we will read yours with you.
What does 5,000 pounds of towing capacity mean for safe use?
The 2027 Traverse is rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds, backed by 326 lb-ft of torque and an 8-speed automatic. Capacity is a ceiling, not a target.
Safe towing depends on tongue weight, correct hitch equipment and honest loading, and those are conversations best had before purchase rather than the first Friday you hook up a trailer. Ask the Webb Chevy Oak Lawn team to go through it while the vehicle is on the lot.
How does drivetrain choice affect safety around Cook County?
All-wheel drive is a $2,000 option on the LT and RS and standard on the Z71, which also gets a raised ride height. Traction is the cheapest safety upgrade in the configurator.
The scenarios that matter locally are specific: a side street in Evergreen Park that has not seen a plow, an I-294 on-ramp that iced before the salt trucks came through, an alley in Burbank with a frozen ridge across the entrance. Sixteen of the 20 units Webb Chevy Oak Lawn had in stock on August 10, 2026 were all-wheel drive.
| Trim | Starting MSRP | Drivetrain | What defines it |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT | $40,800 | Front-wheel drive standard; AWD is a $2,000 option | The volume trim and the least expensive way into a 328-horsepower Traverse. |
| RS | Ask Webb Chevy Oak Lawn for current RS pricing | Front-wheel drive standard; AWD is a $2,000 option | The third trim in the lineup; adds the One-Touch Fold automatic second row. |
| Z71 | $49,100 | All-wheel drive standard | Comes with a raised ride height and AWD built in rather than optioned. |
Does seating configuration change how you should think about safety?
Seven-passenger seating is standard and eight-passenger seating is available. More seats means more seating positions to check and more restraint decisions to make.
If you run car seats, bring them to Webb Chevy Oak Lawn and fit them before you buy. Seven-seat and eight-seat layouts behave differently for third-row access with a seat installed in the second row, and Smart Slide Seats plus the RS One-Touch Fold second row change how easy that is day to day.
How does 2027 Traverse safety compare with the 2026 Honda Pilot?
Chevrolet’s verified claim is over 20 standard safety and driver assistance features on the 2027 Traverse, on every trim, alongside a 5,000-pound tow rating and available all-wheel drive.
The 2026 Honda Pilot is the natural cross-shop, and the Traverse makes its case on where the equipment sits rather than on how long the list is. Over 20 safety and driver assistance features are standard on the $40,800 LT, not held back for the $49,100 Z71, and that entry price is about $1,395 under a Pilot Sport at $42,195 before destination. The Traverse also carries 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft against the Pilot’s 285 and 262, which is the margin you use to clear a gap on an I-294 merge instead of settling into one.
| Point of comparison | 2027 Chevrolet Traverse (verified) | 2026 Honda Pilot (verified) |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder, 328 hp and 326 lb-ft | 3.5L V6, 285 hp at 6,100 rpm and 262 lb-ft at 5,000 rpm |
| Transmission | 8-speed automatic | 10-speed automatic |
| Maximum towing | Up to 5,000 lbs | 3,500 lbs with 2WD; 5,000 lbs with AWD |
| Maximum cargo volume | 98 cu. ft., best in class | 113.7 cu. ft. behind the first row; 60.1 cu. ft. behind the second row; 22.4 cu. ft. behind the third row |
| EPA-estimated fuel economy | 20/26/22 with front-wheel drive; 20/24/21 for the Z71 AWD | 19/27/22 with 2WD; 19/25/21 with AWD; 18/23/20 for the TrailSport |
| Seating | 7 standard, 8 available | 8 passengers |
| Starting MSRP | $40,800 for the LT | $42,195 for the Sport, before destination, tax, license, registration and accessories |
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.
