2018 Chevrolet Traverse offers three rows of family fun

No longer ugly, the 2018 Traverse offers capability and creature comforts galore.

Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.

At launch, the sole available engine is a 3.6-liter V6, good for 301 horsepower.

It has three rows of seats, but you can make that two by folding the third row flat.

The interior is spacious, with ample room for adult passengers in all three rows, believe it or not.

Chevrolet's MyLink infotainment system is present and accounted for, as is OnStar's excellent 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot.

The infotainment screen also rises up to show off a hidden cubby hole.

It drives quite nice, with a ride that's soft but not uncomfortably so.

There's plenty of space to hide whatever you want, whether it's a small purse or phone or whatever else is in your pocket.

I'd opt to stick closer to the base model, only because I don't know how there's $20,000 worth of extra stuff in the High Country.
