Z71
The Z71 trim is new to the Traverse lineup for 2024, and all-terrain performance is its top priority. To this end, Z71 comes equipped with Advanced Twin-Clutch AWD, Hill Descent Control, and an off-road suspension. It also features a skid plate, tow hooks, and all-terrain tires. For extra on-road capability, the Z71 gets a standard Trailering Package with a heavy-duty cooling system, Hitch Guidance with Hitch View, and a hitch that allows for up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity.

RS
As the top trim in the Traverse lineup, RS goes all-in on style and sportiness. The exterior displays high-gloss black elements like 22-inch painted wheels, a grille, roof rails, and body moldings. The interior shows off Jet Black/Torch Red perforated leather seats, red cabin accents, and a power-folding third row. Amenities like a panoramic power sunroof, ventilated front seats, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and a Bose premium sound system are included as well. The RS also boasts the lineup’s most advanced tech features, including the standard hands-free Super Cruise driving system, a Rear Camera Mirror, and Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist.
