Noteworthy options, barring significant upgrades for 2015, should remain hard-drive-based navigation, rear-seat DVD entertainment, a power sunroof and a Bose Surround Sound audio upgrade. Of course, lower trims should again remain eligible for a number of features that come standard in higher trims as optional equipment. Standard safety items returning to the 2015 Traverse lineup are expected to include 4-wheel antilock brakes (ABS), traction and stability control, front side-mounted airbags and 3-row head airbags. Again depending on the trim selected, look for daytime running lights, front fog/driving lights and turn-signal-integrated mirrors to also make a return engagement.
