How big is the cargo space on a Chevy Traverse?
In brief, the latest Chevrolet Traverse offers about 23.0 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, 58.1 cubic feet with the third row folded, and up to 98.2 cubic feet with both rear rows folded flat.
These figures come from Chevrolet’s specifications for the current-generation Traverse, which has been in production since 2018 and updated through the early 2020s. They can vary slightly by trim, seating configuration (bench vs. captain’s chairs), and optional floor storage. The article below explains what those measurements mean in practice and how they translate to real-world packing.
Space by seating configuration
The following figures reflect standard rear-row configurations and show how cargo capacity changes as you fold seats.
- Behind the third row: 23.0 cubic feet of cargo space. This is the space available when all three rows are in use.
- Behind the second row: 58.1 cubic feet. This space appears when you fold the third row down but keep the second row up.
- Maximum cargo volume (with both rear rows folded): 98.2 cubic feet. Achieved when you fold both the second and third rows flat for maximum utility.
These figures give a clear sense of how the Traverse can handle everyday groceries, luggage for a family trip, or larger items when needed, with a notable jump in capacity when you fold the rear rows flat.
Practical packing tips
To maximize usable space, fold the third-row seats for everyday items, then fold the second row for bulkier loads. Use the under-floor storage on models that offer it for small items, and plan around the trunk opening’s width and height for oversized boxes or equipment.
Notes on model years and trims
Across recent years, the cargo figures have remained consistent for the Traverse’s current generation. Minor differences can occur due to interior layout changes (bench vs. captain’s chairs) or floor storage, but the three-number framework above generally holds true for 2019–2024 models and into 2025 models that share the same body style.
Summary
The Chevy Traverse offers about 23.0 cu ft behind the third row, 58.1 cu ft behind the second row, and up to 98.2 cu ft with both rows folded, with some variation based on seating configuration and model year. For most families, that translates into a versatile balance of passenger comfort and cargo capacity.
