Route 1 Chevrolet - Why Twin-Clutch AWD in the 2025 Traverse Adds Confidence for Families around Beecher, IL
When the weather shifts or your weekend plans lead off the beaten path, traction matters. That’s where the 2025 Traverse Z71’s Advanced Twin-Clutch AWD System shines. Instead of simply sending torque to the rear when slip is detected, this smart setup can shift power side to side across the rear axle, directing torque precisely to the wheel with the most grip. The result is surefooted traction on rain-soaked streets, gravel shoulders, or snowy backroads—plus poised cornering on dry pavement. Paired with Terrain Mode, Hill Descent Control, and an off-road suspension with a protective skid plate, the Traverse Z71 adds tangible capability without giving up the quiet, refined ride your family expects.
Confidence isn’t only about traction—it’s also about visibility and awareness. Available HD Surround Vision provides a 360-degree view to help with tight parking or cresting a rutted trail, while Blind Zone Steering Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Braking contribute peace of mind in crowded lots. Add the standard 17.7-inch diagonal color touch-screen and an 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center, and you have crisp, intuitive insight into your drive. For longer trips, available Super Cruise® helps reduce fatigue on compatible roads by managing steering, braking, and acceleration while monitoring your attention. And with OnStar® connectivity, your cabin stays a command center for navigation and assistance, any time of day.

Frequently Asked Questions:
How does Twin-Clutch AWD differ from traditional AWD?
Traditional systems often split torque front to rear. Twin-Clutch AWD adds rear-axle side-to-side control, channeling power to the wheel with the best traction to enhance stability and grip in variable conditions.
Will the Traverse Z71’s off-road features compromise daily comfort?
No. The Z71 retains the Traverse’s smooth, quiet ride while adding capability. Its suspension tuning balances off-pavement control with on-road composure for school runs, commutes, and road trips.
Is Super Cruise® useful for local driving?
Super Cruise® is designed for compatible divided highways. It’s most beneficial on longer drives, helping manage steering, braking, and acceleration while you remain attentive, reducing fatigue on extended trips.
If you’re weighing capability against comfort, you don’t have to pick just one. The Traverse Z71 blends traction-focused hardware with a thoughtfully tuned chassis and a tech-rich interior that works for everyday life. It’s a compelling mix for families who want assurance in shifting Midwest conditions without sacrificing quietness or versatility. From the standard 17.7-inch touch-screen to available HD Surround Vision and Super Cruise®, the hardware and software work together to make each mile easier and more enjoyable.
