2019 Chevrolet Traverse LT Cloth (1LT) AWD CanadaThe Ultimate Family Basecamp: 310 HP of Direct-Injected V6 Authority Meets Proactive All-Wheel Drive, Class-Leading 3-Row Passenger Volume, and Essential Smart Tech LogisticsDecoding the Build: The High-Volume Heavyweight Champion of Deep Structural UtilityThe 2019 model year showcases the absolute design sweet spot and mechanical maturity of the heavily redesigned, second-generation Chevrolet Traverse. Underpinned by GM’s high-rigidity C1XX global platform—engineered with an extended wheelbase and reinforced high-strength steel crossmembers—this full-size crossover completely moves away from the cramped, narrow constraints of old-school mid-size utility boxes. Inside, it discards traditional entry-level cabin drone by wrapping the firewall in multi-layer acoustic blanketing, installing acoustic-laminated front side glass, and deploying isolated subframe bushings. The result is a beautifully civil, whisper-quiet passenger sanctuary designed to isolate your family from harsh road vibrations and howling crosswinds.Experience Sovereign Authority: 310 HP of V6 Muscle Meets Geared 9-Speed PrecisionPower is seamlessly managed by an advanced 9-speed automatic transmission featuring Electronic Range Select. This geared automatic perfectly steps through tight low-end ratios to maximize off-the-line acceleration, while deploying deep overdrive upper gears to minimize highway engine revs.What thoroughly isolates this family machine from ordinary front-heavy crossover boxes is its factory-integrated Driver Mode Selector with a Switchable All-Wheel Drive System. Unlike basic slip-and-grip layouts that constantly run the 4x4 hardware (wasting fuel on bone-dry summer pavement), Chevrolet’s mechanical layout allows you to physically disconnect the rear axle via a console dial. When transitioning into changing provincial conditions, you simply turn the rotary dial to shift vehicle tracking profiles across specialized dynamics:2WD Mode: Completely disconnects the rear driveline to maximize fuel preservation on dry asphalt.AWD Mode: Actively locks the transfer case into readiness, continuously routing torque back and forth to counteract tire slip on patchy black ice, wind-swept rural corridors, or wet slush.Off-Road Mode: Calibrates throttle mapping and relaxes traction control constraints to help claw the chassis through deep mud, sand, or thick unplowed municipal banks.Tow/Haul Mode: Alters transmission shift points to hold lower gears longer, utilizing heavy-duty engine braking matrices to effortlessly manage a robust 2,268 kg (5,000 lbs) maximum conventional towing capacity when optioned with factory trailering equipment.Supported by a sophisticated independent front MacPherson strut suspension and a multi-link independent rear design with thick anti-roll bars, it manages a practical Canadian fuel consumption rating of 13.7 L/100 km city and 9.5 L/100 km highway (11.8 L/100 km combined) using regular 87-octane unleaded fuel.Your Intelligent Guardian: High-Tensile Structural Protection and Active Radar SecurityDrive with the unwavering peace of mind that comes from a high-tensile steel structural safety cage, energy-absorbing front and rear crumple fields, standard StabiliTrak® electronic stability control with Traction Control, and a comprehensive 7-airbag defensive capsule—standardizing advanced dual-stage front arrays, seat-mounted side-impact shields, full-length roof-rail side curtains protecting all three rows, and a segment-exclusive Front Center Airbag mounted to the inboard side of the driver's seat to prevent front occupants from colliding during a severe lateral impact.The 1LT tier places active situational awareness at the forefront, standardizing key electronic driver-assist networks out of the box to deploy:Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Warning, utilizing radar plates inside the rear bumper to guard your hidden lateral lanes during fast merges.Rear Cross Traffic Alert, continuously tracking your layout boundaries to sound immediate alerts if an oncoming vehicle is identified while backing out of busy parking stalls.Rear Park Assist, providing acoustic beeps that increase in frequency as you approach structural obstacles or curbs.A standard High-Resolution Rearview Camera, overlaying clear trailing guidelines directly onto the dashboard center display to make tight parking maneuvers completely stress-free.The 1LT Sanctuary: A Connected, Climate-Insulated 7 or 8-Passenger Tech LoungeStep past the heavy-duty weather seals to experience a beautifully clean, family-focused digital sanctuary that completely dominates the mid-size segment with its massive interior passenger volume. The 1LT cabin completely overhauls baseline fleet metrics, wrapping occupants in high-wear premium black or dual-tone cloth upholstery comfort seats highlighted by soft-touch dashboard accent panels, satin chrome trim prompts, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.The vehicle can be configured as a 7-passenger layout featuring dual second-row captain's chairs, or an 8-passenger framework utilizing a second-row split-bench. The second row incorporates a highly innovative Smart Slide® seating mechanism—allowing the passenger-side seat to pitch and slide completely forward even with an empty forward-facing child safety seat strapped in place, opening a massive pass-through lane to the third row. The driver’s workspace is elevated by a standard 8-way power-adjustable comfort seat conjoined with 2-way power lumbar support to optimize long-distance tracking alignment.Standard Multi-Stage Heated Front Comfort Seats delivering rapid core temperature warmth to your back and seat cushion uniformly.Tri-Zone Automatic Climate Control allowing the driver, front passenger, and rear rows to lock in independent temperature blocks seamlessly, complete with an advanced cabin air filtration matrix and dedicated ceiling and floor vents across all three rows.A standard Remote Vehicle Starter System, allowing you to pre-warm the massive engine block and pre-condition the interior climate control from your kitchen window before ever stepping outside.A standard Keyless Open and Start system with Push-Button Ignition, allowing you to access and ignite the truck effortlessly without fumbling for keys in deep winter freezes.Walk around to the rear to find a massive loading portal. Pop the standard Power Programmable Liftgate—which can be adjusted via a dial inside the door to stop at custom maximum heights to avoid low garage ceilings—to reveal an incredibly flexible loading deck featuring a flat floor with a cavernous 91-litre concealed under-floor storage bin:With all three rows fully active for a massive carpool, it yields a highly practical, class-leading 651 litres (23.0 cubic feet) of trunk cargo space behind the third row alone to effortlessly store full hockey team bags and large travel luggage blocks with absolute ease.Pulling the quick-release straps to drop the standard 60/40 split-folding third-row bench seat completely flat forward opens up a massive 1,637 litres (57.8 cubic feet) of intermediate cargo utility behind the second row alone.For heavy utility hauls, dropping both rear passenger rows completely flat forward into the floorboards reveals a colossal, segment-shattering 2,781 litres (98.2 cubic feet) of maximum cargo capacity—wide, tall, and long enough to slide massive structural building supplies or extensive outdoor overlanding setups with total composure.The Smartest Choice for the Discerning Canadian FamilyThe 2019 Chevrolet Traverse LT Cloth AWD represents the ultimate long-term automotive investment on the modern pre-owned multi-row market for buyers who demand exceptional vehicle resale value, low-maintenance mechanical simplicity, and the unmatched interior room of a standard 310 hp V6 powertrain.
