Performance and Drivability: Standard V6 Engine: The 2021 Traverse LS comes standard with a 3.6-liter V6 engine (310 horsepower), which provides strong acceleration for a vehicle of its size. It's paired with a smooth-shifting 9-speed automatic transmission. Towing Capability: It can tow up to 5,000 pounds, making it suitable for light to moderate towing needs. Maneuverability (for its size): While it's a large SUV, reviews indicate that it handles surprisingly well for its size, feeling poised on the highway and easy to aim with precise steering. Technology and Features (LS trim): User-Friendly Infotainment: The LS trim comes with a standard 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system that's easy to use and includes standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. Standard Wi-Fi Hotspot: A built-in Wi-Fi hotspot is a convenient feature for keeping passengers connected. Ample USB Ports: USB ports are thoughtfully placed throughout the cabin, including in all three rows. Keyless Open and Start: Standard on the LS, this adds a layer of convenience. Value and Reliability: Lower Starting Price: Compared to some competitors, the Traverse LS often has a slightly lower starting price, offering good value for its size and features.

While some owners reported issues (see Cons section for common issues), it's generally considered a reliable vehicle.
