2015 Chevrolet Traverse Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||

2016 | 4dr SUV 281-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
I bought this vehicle to be able to transport my grandchildren back and forth between New Jersey and Ohio. I have the 2LT version with four captains chairs and really enjoy the convienence of not having to move a middle row seat to allow one of them to get into the "way back". Having three kids jammed together in a middle seat for an 8 hour drive is courting disaster--that's why I needed that third seat. Everyone has plenty of space. Normally I find any drive over 4 hours a bit uncomfortable but the seat and driver's position was very relaxing and comfortable. This particular vehicle has the most room for storage behind the third seat than any in its class. It is only beat by minivans and they just aren't my kind of vehicle. see full Chevrolet Traverse review |

The second row captain's chairs are roomy and comfortable. The third row bench seat has a surprising amount of space, in particular with the 2nd row seats slid forward some. see full Chevrolet Traverse review |

The seats we have on our LT are fine but the headrest on both cars I've had jut out too far and cannot be adjusted back far enough to be comfortable. This is particularly uncomfortable on longer trips. see full Chevrolet Traverse review |

The headrests are leaned too far forward, pushing my head forward. Could not get a comfortable seating position. I had a headache and my neck hurt after about 10 minutes. It was even worse in the passenger seat. see full Subaru Legacy review |
