Which 2024 Traverse has captain seats?
Captain seats in the 2024 Traverse refer to a second-row two-seat configuration (captain's chairs) that replaces the usual three-person bench. In Chevy’s lineup, this setup is available on most mid-to-high trims, while the base model typically sticks with a second-row bench. If you want seven seats rather than eight, you’ll likely need the captain-seat option on the right trim.
Seating configurations by trim
The following outlines which trims can be configured with 2nd-row captain's chairs and how that changes seating from 8 to 7 passengers.
- LS — Standard second row is a 3-passenger bench; captain's chairs are not available on this trim.
- LT — Can be equipped with 2nd-row captain's chairs (2 seats) as part of a 7-passenger configuration.
- RS — Captain's chairs are available, enabling a 7-passenger setup when the 2nd row is configured for two seats.
- Premier — Captain's chairs are available, allowing a 7-passenger configuration with a two-seat second row.
- High Country — Premium interior supports captain's chairs as part of the 7-passenger layout; availability depends on packaging and inventory.
In practice, selecting captain's chairs reduces overall seating from 8 to 7 but improves access to the third row and enhances comfort for rear passengers. Always confirm the exact configuration with a dealer, as options can vary by market and model year.
Notes for shoppers
When shopping for a 2024 Traverse, check the window sticker or the GM configurator to verify whether the specific vehicle uses a bench or captain's chairs in the second row. Availability can vary by region, trim level, and whether the vehicle is equipped with any seating packages.
Summary
For the 2024 Traverse, captain seats are available on LT, RS, Premier, and High Country trims, enabling a 7-passenger setup. The LS trim generally comes with a 3-passenger second-row bench and does not offer captain's chairs. If you value easier access to the rear row and a 7-seat configuration, look for a vehicle equipped with 2nd-row captain's chairs and confirm the exact seating arrangement with the dealer.
