Powertrain
Motivation for the 2025 Chevy Traverse continued to be sourced from a single powerplant – the turbocharged 2.5L I4 LK0 gasoline engine developing 315 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque.
Engine | Aspiration | Transmission | Power (hp / kW @ RPM) | Torque (lb-ft / Nm @ RPM) | Axle Ratio |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
2.5L LK0 I-4 | Turbocharged | 8-Speed Auto (MF8) | 328 / 244 @ 5500 | 326 / 442 @ 3500 | 3.49 |
The maximum trailering rating for the Traverse is 5,000 pounds or 2,268 kilograms, same as the second-generation model.
An eight-speed automatic transmission connects this engine to the crossover’s drivetrain. This is GM’s nine-speed transmission with one forward speed removed, a conscious decision made by GM engineers.
Chassis & Suspension
Front-wheel-drive is standard on the 2025 Chevy Traverse and all-wheel-drive is available as an option. The Traverse Z71 features a trim-exclusive “off-road-capable” twin-clutch AWD system on the Z71.
Platform
The 2025 Chevy Traverse continues to ride on the long-wheelbase variant of the GM C1 platform.
