Chevy Traverse MPG Guide

How Does FWD vs. AWD Affect the Chevy Traverse Fuel Efficiency?

The 2023 Traverse mpg ratings are among the highest in their segment, giving Suffolk drivers every reason to choose the Traverse when they want an affordable SUV that truly does it all. But as we’ve discussed, your choice of FWD or AWD will minorly affect the Chevy Traverse fuel efficiency: 

• 2023 Chevy Traverse with FWD: EPA-estimated18 mpg city/27 mpg highway
• 2023 Chevy Traverse with AWD: EPA-estimated 17 mpg city/25 mpg highway

Fortunately, opting for AWD will not have a dramatic impact on your Chevy Traverse’s gas mileage! And as you’ll learn when you continue reading below, the Traverse has some fuel-saving features on board to ensure you’re always cruising efficiently.

What’s Under the Hood of the 2023 Traverse? 

The 2023 Traverse mpg ratings are made possible by a strong 3.6L V6 engine, which is standard on all trim levels. Learn more about the impressive specs achieved by the V6, below:

Performance Features to Enhance the Traverse MPG

Check out a couple of performance features onboard the new Traverse that help you reach the full potential of the Chevy Traverse gas mileage: 

• With the 9-speed automatic transmission, you’ll have no problem getting up to speed swiftly and waste no fuel in the process. 
• Engine Start/Stop technology springs into action every time you’re at a full stop with your foot on the brake pedal. During that time and under certain conditions, Start/Stop technology will shut the engine off to conserve fuel until your foot releases the brake pedal, at which point the engine turns on immediately. This feature helps you save fuel when stopped for long periods of time!
