2027 Chevrolet Traverse Interior Space and Technology
The 2027 Chevrolet Traverse seats seven passengers as standard across every trim, with an available second-row bench on the LT that raises capacity to eight. Behind that seating sits up to 98 cubic feet of cargo volume and a standard 17.7-inch diagonal touchscreen, making this three-row SUV a practical fit for families across Dallas, University Park, and North Dallas.
How Many Passengers Can the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse Seat?
Seven, with the second-row captain’s chairs that come standard on every 2027 Traverse. The LT offers an available second-row bench seat in place of those captain’s chairs, raising total capacity to eight — the only 2027 Traverse configuration that seats eight passengers. The Z71, RS, and High Country come with second-row captain’s chairs and seat seven.
Choosing between seven-passenger and eight-passenger seating depends on how you plan to use the cabin every day. The captain’s chairs feature Smart Slide technology, which lets the seat move forward for third-row access even when a child seat is installed, and the center aisle creates an easy pass-through for kids and passengers heading to the back. For larger families in University Park managing busy carpools, the LT’s available bench seat maximizes passenger capacity instead.
Seating Configuration by Trim
| Trim | Second-Row Seating | Max Passengers | Power-Folding Rear Seats |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT | Captain’s chairs standard; bench available | 7, or 8 with the bench | Available power-folding third row |
| Z71 | Captain’s chairs | 7 | Available power-folding third row |
| RS | Captain’s chairs | 7 | Standard — second and third rows, with One-Touch Fold on row two |
| High Country | Captain’s chairs | 7 | Available power-folding third row |

Interior Dimensions Across All Three Rows
The cabin is engineered to accommodate adult passengers in all three seating rows, and the measurements back that up. Front occupants get 42.6 inches of headroom and 44.3 inches of legroom. Second-row passengers give up less than three inches of legroom to the front row at 41.5 inches, with 40.0 inches of headroom and 62.2 inches of shoulder room. The third row holds 38.3 inches of headroom, 32.1 inches of legroom, and 57.7 inches of shoulder room — enough for older children and adults rather than an emergency bench.
Up front, driver and passenger seats offer multi-way adjustments with supportive cushioning designed for long highway drives. Tri-zone automatic climate control is standard on every trim, so the driver, front passenger, and rear occupants each set their own temperature. The third-row bench splits 60/40 for mixed passenger-and-cargo loads, and wide door openings with a low step-in height make entry and exit easier for every family member.
2027 Traverse Interior Dimensions
| Row | Headroom | Legroom | Shoulder Room |
|---|---|---|---|
| First row | 42.6 in | 44.3 in | 62.3 in |
| Second row | 40.0 in | 41.5 in | 62.2 in |
| Third row | 38.3 in | 32.1 in | 57.7 in |

How Much Cargo Space Does the 2027 Traverse Offer?
With all three rows upright, the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse holds 22.9 cubic feet behind the third row. Fold the third row and that grows to 56.6 cubic feet. Fold both rear rows flat and maximum cargo volume reaches 98 cubic feet, which Chevrolet publishes as best-in-class cargo volume for the segment.
Cargo Volume by Seating Configuration
| Seating Configuration | Cargo Volume |
|---|---|
| All three rows upright | 22.9 cu ft |
| Third row folded | 56.6 cu ft |
| Second and third rows folded | 98 cu ft |
On the RS, power-folding second- and third-row seats with One-Touch Fold on row two reconfigure the cabin at the push of a button, turning 22.9 cubic feet into the full maximum without reaching into the cargo area. A power-folding third row is available on the other trims. The flat load floor simplifies loading heavy items, whether that is home improvement supplies or sports gear for a weekend tournament. The AutoSense Power Liftgate, standard on every trim, opens the rear hatch when your hands are full.
Active families in North Dallas loading up outdoor equipment for trips to local parks will appreciate how the cabin balances passenger seating against raw cargo volume.

Google Built-In and Smartphone Connectivity
The 17.7-inch touchscreen curves gently toward the driver, placing navigation, media playback, and vehicle settings within easy reach. Google built-in grants direct access to Google Maps for live traffic, Google Assistant for voice-activated cabin controls, and downloadable apps through Google Play. Drivers can adjust climate settings, place calls, or program destinations using natural voice commands without taking their hands off the wheel.
The 11-Inch Driver Information Center
Complementing the center display, the 11-inch driver information center presents digital gauges, trip data, and turn-by-turn directions directly in the driver’s line of sight, and the layout can be customized to prioritize trip information or audio. Physical controls for volume and core climate functions sit alongside the digital interface, keeping everyday adjustments straightforward while driving.

Audio, Connectivity, and Cabin Convenience
The 2027 Traverse pairs a 12-speaker Bose premium audio system, standard on the RS and High Country, with an available interior camera¶ and OnStar connected services. Standard second-row USB ports keep devices charged for middle-row passengers.
The 12-speaker Bose system delivers crisp acoustics through an acoustically insulated cabin, and it is standard equipment rather than an upgrade on both the RS and the High Country.
The available interior camera adds convenience for parents. Cabin Glance¶ displays a clear view of the second and third rows on the main touchscreen, so the driver can check on children or pets without turning around.
