Interior

The interior of the 2017 Traverse is the best among its competitors. It has abundant headspace and legroom for the front row people. The second-row passengers also get ample headspace and legroom but because of the low height of the bottom cushion, the legroom for the second-row occupants is a little less. The space for third-row occupants is also decent.

For making access easier for the last-row passengers, rear doors are made larger in size. Additionally, the cabin is beautifully designed with fine material which gives it a luxurious look.

The most prominent and positive point of the interior is that it has plenty of storage space even with the third row of seats up which lacks in many three-row vehicles. It can carry a lot of luggage in its trunk space and even more with its second row and third row of seats folded.

Driving

The suspension system in the car provides a comfortable and non-bumpy ride and the structure is made such that it cancels the noise coming from outside. Also, the handling of this car is quite easy but not sporty.
