General Motors launched the all-new third generation for the Chevy Traverse crossover in conjunction with the 2024 model year, delivering updated styling, the new off-road-flavored Z71 trim level, an overhauled cabin, and a new turbocharged engine and eight-speed transmission. The 2025 Chevy Traverse will bring a few important updates, including a new High Country trim level and revisions to the onboard safety features. Now, GM Authority is here to report that the 2025 Chevy Traverse will also offer the new Z71 Adventure Package, enhancing the rugged trim level’s off-road appeal even further.
18-Inch Black Aluminum Wheel (EU2)
The new Z71 Adventure Package for the 2025 Chevy Traverse is tagged with RPO code PCM, and while official pricing information and photos of the new Adventure Package are still forthcoming, GM Authority has uncovered the full package contents (relevant RPO codes listed in parentheses):
- Molded assist steps (VQO)
- Roof Cross Rails (VLL)
- 18-inch Gloss Black wheels (EU2)
- Black lug nuts (SPY)
- Black wheel locks (SPZ)
- Black wheel center caps with Black bowtie (SKT)
- Tire pressure monitor (SD5)
The new Z71 Adventure Package will soon be available to order. That said, the package will only be offered for the Z71 trim level, and will not be available in combination with the molded splash guards (RPO VQK).
As GM Authority covered previously, the 2025 Chevy Traverse starts at $41,995 for the entry-level LT trim level with front-wheel drive, while the 2025 Chevy Traverse Z71 starts at $48,995 and includes all-wheel drive as standard. Both prices listed include destination freight charge. Make sure to check out our previous coverage for a full breakdown of 2025 Chevy Traverse MSRP information.
During a recent interview with GM Authority Executive Editor Alex Luft, GM Vice president of Global Chevrolet Scott Bell indicated that the third-generation Chevy Traverse was drawing a good deal of interest, including from conquest buyers from rival automakers.
“I have more people coming up to me asking about the Traverse than I have had in my entire career,” Bell told GM Authority.
As a reminder, the Chevy Traverse is equipped as standard with the turbocharged 2.5L I4 LK0 gasoline engine and rides on the GM C1-2 platform. Production takes place at the GM Lansing Delta plant in Michigan.

Nice vehicle! If you can get past the sound of the four cylinder.
Roof Cross Rails + Black Wheels = Adventure Package. Laughable.
Chevy still needs to dial it up for those of us who want to occasionally travel on a beach. The new Honda Pilot Trail Sport does so and quite well.
And I forgot to add that the Honda Pilot TrailSport has a smooth, powerful V6. I’m a GM guy and I still feel that a 4 cylinder in this heavy, boxy (but good looking) SUV was a mistake.
Honda 3.5 V6 280 hp at 6000 rpm and 262 ft lbs at 4700rpm and 19 city 24 hwy and 21 combined yet tests have that high as they haven’t been able to match those in real world. JD power only got 19.1 mpg on their loop.
GM 2.5 328hp at 5500 rpm and 326 ft lbs at 3500 rpm and 19 city 24 hwy and 21 combined and people have been matching or exceeding it.
So please explain how a much more powerful engine with a TON more torque much lower is a poor choice, but an under powered car based V6 in a similar size vehicle is powerful and the correct choice? That is exactly what uninformed people with old school ways of thinking try and comprehend to others and sounds silly. Other than the sound the four makes when revved, it is a superior choice across the board. Size doesn’t equal superiority, actually quite the contrary in todays society with the superior engineering. Give me a smaller forced induction motor over a NA larger motor, especially when it is built right and can last hundreds of thousands of miles.
Please take your incorrect and dated thinking back to the drawing board and write a paper on why you are wrong and will do more homework next time…
Homework you say? Suggest you do real some real world seat of the pants( i.e test driving) instead of spouting figures. I stand by what I say and if you took the time to read my first post, I was talking about driving on a beach-something the TrailSport does exceptionally well. Maybe you’re steamed up because you are in someway employed by GM ? I drove a new Traverse and although the engine was torquey
but it sounded coarse and not what one would expect for a product north of 50K. The Honda engine is the winner here and this is coming from the owner of a 24 Camaro SS. The 6.2 V8 rules.
No substitute for cubic inches. The 4cyl while impressive on paper, lacks the refinement of the Honda 3.5 V6 which essentially has powered Honda’s two SUVs. pickup, and minivan since 2016 and racked up many millions of miles for satisfied customers. I’ve driven the new Traverse and while torquey, it sounds coarse when pressed hard into action. That’s a total turnoff to anyone spending more than 50K for a vehicle. Because you’re so good at citing facts, suggest you spend sometime and read about the TrailSport’s capabilities in sand- heavy sand similar to beaches up and down the east coast. That was my original post which you twisted into a defensive posture about which engine is superior. Let’s see how well the 2.5 stands up nine years from now.
Just touched a new 2024 Traverse Z71 at the dealership yesterday while my 2014 Acadia was in for some routine service. The roof rails on my Acadia are metal, I believe aluminum, but the rails on the new C1-2s are PLASTIC! They flexed and were brittle as $#!@. I can rock my entire vehicle with my rails with no flex. These things were about to break in half!
What a complete embarrassment. I have Yakima heavy-duty crossbars on my Acadia and haul a 87 lb kayak in J-hooks and a 110 lb tandem kayak flat load next to it and there is NO WAY I would trust these cheap, TEMU-esque OEM rails. Was planning on buying a High Country in 2026 after the kinks were worked out and they presumedly brought back an interior color other than BLACK (!), but this vehicle, with all the compromises, is looking like a no-fly-zone.
Haha, so you are going to not purchase a vehicle because of the cross bars on the roof racks? A, they are rated/tested to support easily what ever they say. B, you can replace those with Yakima as it sounds like you work for them and can use your employee discount the way you talk them up and try and sell them to everyone. Personally, I would trust OEM < aftermarket in most instances, especially when both are rated for the same (no idea what they are rated), but OEM goes through much more stringent tests and engineering design in most cases.
Hey, you do you though, that is one of the most petty reasons I have heard for not buying a vehicle. Heaven forbid it is the superior choice in the most critical areas…
Ah, another one of your ignorant, GM-homer, posts. I don’t work for Yakima you tool, but everyone knows that Thule and Yakima are the best accessories in this space.
I’m not talking about crossbars, ignoramus. I’m talking about the actual rails affixed to the vehicle.
If you ever got out of your Mom’s basement and hauled, towed, or loaded anything, maybe you would understand that these rails are not good replacements for what came with the Lambda platforms.
