MUSCAT: One of the world’s most highly rated mid-sized SUVs has arrived in the Omani market, offering large families the ultimate solution to their motoring needs in a roomy, luxurious, safety-enhanced and performance-packed setting.
The 2022 Chevrolet Traverse, with a three-row configuration that can comfortably seat up to 8 passengers, is simply peerless in its segment. Its stylish looks, incredible roominess, top-class technology features, powerful V6 engine, user-friendly infotainment system and host of standard safety features, makes it the enduring mid-size SUV of choice for families in the Sultanate of Oman. It is also designed and outfitted with an eye on adventure trips to the rugged outdoors, thus making the 2022 model an ideal option for family getaways.
The 2022 Traverse’s exterior styling communicates robustness, albeit with a sporty edge. Accentuating its distinctive persona is the model’s all-new front fascia and grille design.
But it’s the Chevy’s interior that speaks to its incredible value proposition. With the inclusion of a third row, the cavernous SUV can comfortably accommodate an entire family of up to eight passengers and yet offer ample cargo space in the rear. Fold away the third row and you have a cargo-hauling champ in the 2022 Traverse with more space than any of its rivals in the segment.
Even with a full load of passengers and cargo, the 2022 Traverse can pack a powerful punch. Standard across the trims is a 3.6L V6 engine that provides a substantial 310 horsepower and 266 lb.-ft. (approximately 360 Nm) of torque. That considerable amount of power is sent to the front or all four wheels through a nine-speed shiftable automatic transmission.
Furthermore, with its unique Traction Mode Select feature, you can adjust performance based on road and surface conditions -- normal for everyday driving, off-road on AWD models when you need extra torque for the rear wheels, 4x4 (AWD) for better control on slippery surfaces and tow/haul when pulling a trailer. The powertrain is more than capable of handling a full load, and if you need to do a bit of towing, it can haul an impressive load when properly equipped.
Complementing these power-packed features of the new Traverse is a profusion of tech enhancements and infotainment features, which help ensure a pleasurable drive. At its heart is an 8-inch Driver Infotainment Centre that provides convenience through technology by having control of your vehicle right at your fingertips. Additionally, superior connectivity is assured through a plethora of USB ports distributed across the cabin. You can connect with some of your most used smartphone features, including music, messages and phone, on the touch-screen display.
In the Sultanate of Oman, the new 2022 Chevrolet Traverse comes in three distinctive trims: LT, 2LT RS and Premier. Standard across all three trims are the following outstanding features: Automatic Start/Stop, 9-speed automatic transmission, Electronic Traction Control, Tri-Zone Automatic Air-Conditioning, Traction Mode Select, Keyless Entry & Push Start Button, LED daytime driving lights, StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control System and Forward Collision Alert.
However, rising head and shoulders above its peers is the Premier trim, which abounds with additional features: HID headlamps, Upper and lower active aero shutters, Chevrolet MyLink radio with 8-inch diagonal colour touchscreen and navigation, OnStar 4G LTE and available built-in Wi-Fi hotspot, Multicolour driver information centre display, Jet black leather-appointed seating surfaces, Universal Home Remote, Bose premium 10-speaker audio system, Power liftgate, Keyless Open with extended-range Remote Keyless Entry, Remote start, Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Rear Park Assist, 12 camera HD Surround View, Rear Camera Mirror and Rear Seat Reminder.
“With its stunning looks, spacious cabin and fuel-efficient powertrain, the 2022 Chevrolet Traverse cements its position as the ideal family SUV. It’s a solid, safe and sporty alternative to mini-vans, and aligns perfectly with the lifestyle choices of our high-end customers, particularly those with large families'', said Mandeep Singh, General Manager – Chevrolet, exclusive distributors of Chevrolet in the Sultanate of Oman.
The 2022 Chevrolet Traverse is available in a range of striking colours at OTE showrooms distributed across the Sultanate of Oman.
