Among the things you do not get and cannot have at this trim level is the active-safety package (Driver Confidence II), including forward-collision alert with automatic braking; pedestrian detection; and lane-keeping assist. However, and in fairness, the Traverse is bigger—9.8 inches longer, nose to tail, on a much longer wheelbase.
