GM decided to reveal the facelifted Traverse crossover almost a week before its public premiere at the2012 New York Auto Show.
The car comes with important styling changes, especially at the front where it features new headlights, a new five point grille that resembles the one seen on the Malibu and a two-bar lower grille, along with a powerdome hood and various chrome accents.
This facelift version is also distinguished by its redesigned rear bumper and tailgate and the revised taillamps which this time remind of the European version Chery Camaro.
At the interior the 2013 Chevrolet Traverse which provides seating for seven in a 2+3+2 configuration, features higher quality materials, soft-touch surfaces, various silver accents and a new center stack that incorporates a 6.5-inch color touch radio available with the optional Chevrolet MyLink infotainment system.
The engine fitted on the facelifted Traverse is GM’s 3.6-litre V6, the same that is used on the GMC Acadia, so we are talking about a 288 HP / 270 lb-ft of torque output delivered to the wheels via an improved 6-speed automatic gearbox.
The new Traverse and benefits from a tweaked suspension, and if everything that you’ve heard so far has determined you to want one of these, then you should know that it will go on sale later this year.
