Chevrolet Traverse: An Efficient Crossover for Nashville Residents

Traverse features updated design, technology and safety features

Nashville area drivers who are looking for an expressively styled, well-equipped crossover are turning to the Chevrolet Traverse.

Since it entered the market in 2009, the Traverse has quickly become a best seller for Tom Bannen Chevrolet. Its people-hauling and cargo-carrying capability typically found in larger SUVs – all delivered with more efficiency – make the Traverse a versatile vehicle for any lifestyle.

“The Chevy Traverse is the perfect vehicle for my family,” said Lisa Mitchell, Nashville resident and Chevrolet Traverse owner. “The Traverse is safe, spacious and stylish, and comes with all the updated technology features that my family was looking for.”

For 2011, Traverse continues to be offered in LS, LT and LTZ models, in both front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations. Changes for 2011 include available heated cloth seats available on LT models and a relocated USB port for the radio that provides easier access. Two new exterior colors are also offered: White Diamond Tricoat and Steel Green Metallic.

“The Chevrolet Traverse delivers a variety of in-demand features,” said Craig Armstrong of Tom Bannen Chevrolet. “It has become tremendously popular among Nashville consumers who are looking for both efficiency and style.”

The Traverse has a unique profile with a sleek, smooth and flowing design. The vehicle’s interior can be configured for seven or eight adults.

With six standard air bags and a 360-degree safety system, Traverse passengers are protected before, during and after a crash. The Traverse also comes standard with OnStar (with a six-month Directions and Connections plan), which features Automatic Crash Response, Emergency Services, Crisis Assist, Stolen Vehicle Assistance, Remote Door Unlock, Roadside Assistance, Remote Horn and Lights, Turn-by-Turn Navigation with OnStar eNav (where available), Hands Free Calling and OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics.
