2027 Chevrolet Traverse High Country: Roslyn Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: The 2027 Traverse High Country
High Country is brand new for 2027 and takes over as the flagship Traverse trim, starting at $56,100 MSRP. It's built around interior quality rather than outright sportiness: real wood trim accents, exclusive Tritan Satin finishes inside and out, and redesigned High Country badging on the doors, liftgate, and door sill plates. Like RS, it now comes standard with hands-free Super Cruise driver assistance and a 3-year OnStar plan. High Country runs the same 328-hp 2.5-liter turbo engine and 8-speed automatic as every other Traverse trim, with front-wheel drive standard and all-wheel drive available for $2,000. It rides on 22-inch high-gloss black machined-face wheels.
A new kind of flagship
For years, RS was the Traverse to reach for if you wanted the nicest one on the lot. For 2027, that job goes to High Country instead, and the approach is different — less about looking aggressive, more about feeling upscale. Real wood trim accents show up on the dash and door panels, a material RS doesn't get at all, and the Tritan Satin finish work carries through cabin details that would otherwise be plain plastic or gloss black. Chevrolet also redesigned the High Country badging itself for 2027, placing it on the doors, the liftgate, and the door sill plates — a small detail, but one that signals this trim is meant to be recognized as the top of the range, not just a heavier options list bolted onto RS.
Super Cruise comes standard here too
High Country shares RS's biggest 2027 upgrade: hands-free Super Cruise driver assistance, standard, with a 3-year OnStar Super Cruise plan included rather than sold separately. On a Traverse aimed at family road trips and longer highway stretches — exactly what a three-row SUV like this tends to get used for — a genuinely hands-free system on mapped divided highways is a meaningfully different experience from adaptive cruise control alone. Combined with the 17.7-inch touchscreen, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, and the full Chevy Safety Assist suite that's standard across the whole lineup, High Country's technology package is as complete as anything Chevrolet builds into this model.
What High Country doesn't try to be
High Country isn't the off-road trim — that's Z71, with its skid plate, all-terrain tires, and Advanced Twin-Clutch AWD system, none of which High Country offers. It's also not the blackout street-styling trim — that's RS's job, with its flat-bottom wheel and 22-inch black wheels standard, versus High Country's more restrained, machined-face 22-inch wheels. High Country's case is narrower and clearer than either of those: the most upscale cabin Chevrolet builds into this model, at the top of the price range, for buyers who want the nicest version rather than the most capable or most aggressive one.
What Roslyn High Country buyers say
Tiara C. weighed her options before landing on High Country and described exactly the kind of impression the trim is built to make: "After debating on what to go with, we decided to purchase a Chevrolet Traverse High Country and we are very happy! It is so spacious and the interior makes it elegant! It is the perfect family car for us." That's the High Country pitch in a sentence — space and elegance together, not one at the expense of the other.
Frequently asked questions
What makes High Country different from RS?
High Country is the upscale trim — real wood interior accents, exclusive Tritan Satin finishes, and machined-face 22-inch wheels. RS is the sporty trim — blackout exterior trim, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and red interior stitching. Both now share standard Super Cruise for 2027; the difference is entirely about the kind of impression each trim is going for.
Is High Country the most expensive 2027 Traverse trim?
Yes, at $56,100 MSRP it's the top of the lineup for 2027, just above RS's $55,800. Both are close enough in price that the decision comes down to which trim's personality fits, not which one costs meaningfully more.
Does the Traverse High Country come with all-wheel drive?
Front-wheel drive is standard, with AWD available for a flat $2,000 — the same pricing structure as LT and RS. Z71 is the only Traverse trim where AWD is standard rather than optional.
What's new about the High Country trim for 2027?
It's an entirely new trim level for 2027, replacing RS as the Traverse flagship. It brings real wood trim accents, exclusive Tritan Satin finishes, redesigned badging placement, and standard Super Cruise with a 3-year OnStar plan — features that either didn't exist on the Traverse before or were previously reserved for a different trim.
