How many people can fit in a Traverse?
The Chevrolet Traverse can seat up to eight passengers in its standard configuration, though seven passengers are possible when the second row uses captain’s chairs.
Across recent model years, the Traverse offers two main seating setups. The eight-passenger layout uses a bench-style second row for three and a three-across third row for a total of eight. The seven-passenger setup swaps in second-row captain's chairs (two seats) instead of the bench, for a total of seven. Availability depends on trim and option packages, with captain’s chairs typically offered on higher trims.
Seating configurations
Two primary seating configurations determine how many people can ride in a Traverse:
Configurations and capacities
- 8-passenger configuration: front row has two seats, second row bench seats three, and third row seats three — for a total of eight passengers.
- 7-passenger configuration: front row has two seats, second row captain's chairs seat two, and third row seats three — for a total of seven passengers.
In short, the Traverse offers flexibility to seat either seven or eight passengers depending on whether the second row is a bench or captain's chairs.
Summary
The Chevrolet Traverse is designed to accommodate families and groups with flexible seating. Maximum capacity is eight passengers with a second-row bench, while seven passengers is possible with second-row captain's chairs. Always check a specific model's seating configuration before purchase or delivery, as options vary by year and trim.
