2027 Chevrolet Traverse Interior, Cargo Space and Technology at Webb Chevy Plainfield in Plainfield, IL

How much cargo space does the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse have?

Maximum cargo volume is 98 cubic feet, a figure Chevrolet rates as best in class. That is the number with the seats folded, and it is the number that decides whether a hockey bag, a stroller and a week of groceries from the Bolingbrook run coexist without anyone riding with a cooler on their lap.

98 cubic feet of maximum cargo volume is the single strongest argument in the 2027 Traverse spec sheet, and Chevrolet rates it best in class. Cubic feet are abstract until you load your own gear, which is why the team at 16140 S Lincoln Hwy encourages shoppers to bring the actual stuff to the appointment.

How many people fit, and how do they get to the third row?

Seven-passenger seating is standard and eight is available. Access to the third row runs through Smart Slide Seats, which move the second row out of the way rather than making a teenager perform gymnastics in a parking lot.

If you carry seven people regularly, spend your test drive time in the third row rather than the driver seat. Put the tallest person in your household back there and drive from Plainfield toward Joliet and back. Fifteen minutes in the rearmost row answers more questions than any brochure will.

What does the One-Touch Fold second row do on the RS?

The RS trim adds a One-Touch Fold automatic second row. One press drops the row instead of a lever, a shove and a bruised knuckle. Chevrolet lists a power-folding third row on the options sheet as well.

Households that reconfigure the interior several times a week get more real value out of these two features than from any other option on the sheet. If your Saturday involves a Naperville furniture pickup and a Sunday pickup of four kids, the seats are the feature you will actually touch.

What does the AutoSense Power Liftgate do for you?

The AutoSense Power Liftgate opens hands free. Standing in a Joliet parking lot in February with a toddler on one hip and two bags in the other hand is the exact scenario it was designed for, and it is the sort of feature owners stop noticing precisely because it works.

Pair it with the 98 cubic foot maximum cargo volume and the everyday math changes. A liftgate you can open without setting anything down, opening onto a best-in-class cargo hold, is the difference between two trips from the car and one. Over a year of Aurora and Bolingbrook errand runs, that adds up more than most option-sheet features do.

Test it the honest way during your visit to 16140 S Lincoln Hwy. Walk up with your arms full and see whether the liftgate reads you the way you expect it to. A feature that works in a showroom demonstration and a feature that works in a rainy lot in Plainfield are not always the same thing.

What technology comes standard in the 2027 Traverse?

A 17.7-inch infotainment touchscreen is standard on every 2027 Traverse. That is a large display for a midsize three-row, and standard rather than an upgrade tied to the top trim.

Screen size is a safety story as much as a convenience story. A map you can read at a glance on a dark stretch of I-355 keeps eyes off the dashboard and on the road. The Traverse also carries more than 20 standard safety and driver assistance features across the lineup.

How does the Traverse interior compare with the 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander?

Cargo volume is the first thing to line up, and it is closer than either brochure lets on. The Traverse maxes out at 98 cubic feet and the Grand Highlander at 97.5. That half cubic foot is a genuine Chevrolet win and it is also, in practice, half a grocery bag, so do not let it carry the decision on its own. Both seat up to eight, which means the interior verdict really comes down to how the seats fold and how the load floor is shaped once your own gear is sitting in it.

Traverse figures are Chevrolet published. Grand Highlander figures are Toyota published for the 2026 model year. One caution on the price row: the Grand Highlander starting figure already includes a $1,495 destination charge and the Traverse LT figure does not, so add destination to both before you call one cheaper. Call (815) 436-2071 and we will print a side by side sheet with destination on both columns.
