Exposing The 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
Are you a driver who’s always craving for traffic data (or else you’re lost)? Or are you the type who cannot drive without music?
Well, the new 2009 Chevrolet Traverse fits just right for you. It boasts of a high-technology XM NavTraffic, the first of its kind among Chevrolet vehicles, that provides time traffic information and navigation. It also comes with an XM radio that delivers entertainment at its best with 170 channels of music with no commercial breaks, sports, talk and news programs.
According to Chevrolet General Manager Ed Peper, with the XM NavTraffic in the 2009 Chevrolet Traverse, drivers will surely save more of their time and money.
XM Navtraffic, powered by NAVTEQ Corporation, functions by feeding the driver with incident-threatening areas on the highway such as accidents and road construction using an XM nationwide satellite broadcast system, connected to the vehicle’s GPS navigation system as well as to its navigation screen. Through this, the driver could decide for better and safer roads to pass. In addition, it allows information on traffic flow, thus giving the driver an idea about the travel speed on his or her planned route.
In style, sophisticated and most importantly, safe. Peper said that the Traverse is “the right vehicle at the right time.” It features three rows of slide seating, spacious enough for adults and cargoes. It is also equipped with optimized aerodynamics that allows enhanced fuel economy and wind noise reduction (just the way an Acura legend motor mount works) as well as six airbags plus side curtain air bags. Furthermore, it has a cruising range of more than 500 miles or 800 kilometers.
The Chevrolet Traverse was introduced during the Chicago Auto Show, North America’s largest auto show.
