Global Concepts (Part 2)
Chevrolet Traverse
-
Unlike a typical sedan, the all-wheel-drive Traverse concept vehicle has the towing capacity of a truck-2540 kg (5600 lb). Traverse development began with midsize truck architecture, then blended in sedan attributes. The rear seats can travel 230 mm (9 in) fore and aft, and can fold flat to create 2190 L (77.5 ft³) of storage space. A "Smartback" system offers access to the rear, while the rear seats (with skid plates on their back sides) can be folded to create a flat load floor. The vehicle offers General Motors' OnStar information service and an integrated laptop computer. Traverse is powered by a 4.5-L V6 engine. The independent front suspension features upper and lower control arms, torsion bars, and a stabilizer bar. The rear suspension has rigid-axle semi-elliptic leaf springs, stabilizer bar, coil springs, and anti-roll bar.
