| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
rear seating and space is grand. front cockpit is a bit short and chopped but acceptable. Front seats are not as comfortable as in our 2001 RX 300. The front seats are minimally acceptable. see full Lexus RX review |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2011 Chevrolet Traverse
| 2011 Chevrolet Traverse Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2012 | 4dr SUV 281-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Although the rear captain seats are quite comfortable, I do not like how they roll forward. There is a track in the floor in which the rear seats fold and slide up behind the front seats. All I notice when in the back seat is how extremely difficult it is to clean out the mud and grit and salt (I live in Canada, we use salt on our roads) that gets left behind in the track from passenger footwear. see full Chevrolet Traverse review |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 281-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The headrest position is horrible for long trips. Felt like my head was being pushed forward. see full Chevrolet Traverse review |
