Road Tests
Road Test: 2018 Chevrolet Traverse AWD
The newly styled Traverse has a more squared off look to it and a bold hexagon shaped grill. It gains an extra 2 inches on the wheel base but loses just a little cargo space from the previous years’ model as well as a little weight.

The Tiguan was definitely due to undergo some major changes as it has remained relatively unchanged since it’s introduction back in 2007, save for a facelift in 2011. The new look of the Tiguan is very reminiscent of the recently introduced Atlas, and we could not mean that in a more positive way
