What does a 2027 Chevrolet Traverse cost at Webb Chevy Plainfield?

The 2027 Traverse lineup opens with the LT at $40,800 in starting MSRP. The Z71 lists at $49,100. The RS sits as the third trim in the lineup. All-wheel drive is a $2,000 option on the LT and the RS, and it is included as standard equipment on the Z71 along with a raised ride height.

Those are starting figures before tax, title, license, dealer fees and options. The number that ends up on your paperwork depends on the exact unit, and with 20 units of the 2027 Traverse on the ground as of August 10, 2026, the spread between the least and most equipped example in stock is real. Call Webb Chevy Plainfield at (815) 436-2071 and ask for the figure on a stock number rather than a trim name.

What do you actually get on the 2027 Traverse LT?

The LT is the volume trim and the one most Plainfield households end up driving home. It carries the same 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder as every other 2027 Traverse, meaning 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque, the same 8-speed automatic, the same 17.7-inch standard touchscreen and the same set of more than 20 standard safety and driver assistance features.

That is the part shoppers underestimate. Buying the $40,800 LT does not cost you the engine, the screen or the safety suite — all three are standard across the 2027 Traverse lineup. Front-wheel drive is standard on the LT and all-wheel drive is the $2,000 box to tick.

What makes the Z71 different, and is $49,100 justified?

The Z71 is the trim built for people who do not want to think about the weather. All-wheel drive is standard rather than optional, and the Z71 rides at a raised height. Starting MSRP is $49,100.

Do the subtraction before you react to that number. The gap from an LT is $8,300, but $2,000 of it is all-wheel drive that an LT buyer wanting AWD would have added anyway. For a household in Shorewood or the unincorporated stretches of Will County where the plow truck arrives late, the standard AWD and the raised ride height are the whole point.

The fuel economy cost is documented. The Z71 with all-wheel drive is rated 20 city, 24 highway and 21 combined against 20 city, 26 highway and 22 combined for front-wheel drive.

Where does the RS fit in the 2027 Traverse lineup?

The RS is the third trim in the 2027 Traverse lineup and it is the one to look at if your interior gets reconfigured constantly. The RS adds the One-Touch Fold automatic second row, which drops the row without the usual shoving match in a parking lot.

All-wheel drive on the RS is the same $2,000 option it is on the LT, so an RS can be built front-drive or all-wheel drive depending on how you use it. For an Aurora or Naperville commuter who spends most miles on dry pavement and wants the convenience features more than the winter hardware, that flexibility matters.

How should Will County shoppers decide between the three trims?

Start with drivetrain, not trim. If you know you want all-wheel drive, the Z71 and an AWD-equipped LT are both on the table and the comparison is fairer than the sticker gap suggests. If you plan to stay front-wheel drive, the LT at $40,800 and the RS are the real choice.

Then decide on second-row behavior. A family that folds and unfolds seats daily gets more out of the RS One-Touch Fold row than out of any horsepower number. A family that carries seven people most days should focus on Smart Slide Seats access and the eight-passenger option.

One logistics note before you commit to a specific unit: Webb Chevy Plainfield and Webb Chevy Oak Lawn share inventory. The exact trim and color you found online may be parked at the sister store, and we may send you there for that unit. A quick call to (815) 436-2071 saves the drive.

How does 2027 Traverse pricing look next to the 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander?

Cross-shopping the 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander is normal and we encourage it, so start by fixing the two starting prices onto the same footing. The Grand Highlander opens at $42,855, and that figure already includes a $1,495 destination charge. The Traverse LT opens at $40,800 with destination not yet added. Put destination on both window stickers before you call the gap $2,055, because the real distance is narrower than that. Toyota’s Hybrid opens higher again at $46,205, destination included.

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.
