Watch Out Denali, Chevrolet Is Revamping Their Range-Topping Trim

The GMC Denali sub-brand is a popular cash cow and Chevrolet tried something similar with the High Country trim. Unfortunately, while the models were a step above, they didn’t really stand out.

The bow tie brand is now trying to address that as they’re evolving High Country to become “more modern, athletic and contemporary.” The revamp starts with the 2027 Traverse and will continue with the redesigned Silverado 1500.

Denali models are distinguished by a unique grille, so Chevrolet decided to echo that by adding a Tritan Satin finish on the horizontal bars. The copper-ish color can also be found on the headlight surrounds.

Elsewhere, there’s new High Country badging, which features a diamond shape with mountains inside. The crossover also rides on new 22-inch wheels with a two-tone finish.

The changes continue inside as the cabin adopts Jet Black seats with contrasting Natural Tan stitching and piping. The headrests also incorporate the new High Country logo.

Rounding out the highlights are genuine wood trim and two-tone seat belts. Buyers will also find a new interior camera, which is offered on all 2027 Traverses, which lets you view live images of the second- and third-row from the infotainment system.

The model also has a new Surround Vision Recorder, which lets owners “capture, watch and save videos from your vehicle’s cameras.” It’s accompanied by a Security Recording function, which can automatically start recording footage when the alarm is triggered.

The 2027 Traverse goes into production next month and features a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder developing 328 hp (245 kW / 333 PS) and 326 lb-ft (442 Nm) of torque. Pricing starts at $40,800 before a $1,995 destination fee. However, the range-topping High Country will set you back at least $58,095.
