My neighbor (recently widowed) was needing a new car, and I helped her look at a few. One was the new Chevy Traverse, which comes with either a V-6 or turbo-4, and we drove both.
The new Traverse is fairly big, a total redesign from the '17 model. Regardless of a turbo, I just could not believe they put a 2.0 liter 4-cylinder in something THAT big. Then we drove it 8-O
The 2.0T actually makes more torque than HP, and you can feel it! I was shocked at how peppy it was. I felt no turbo-lag either. We went to merge onto the highway and my neighbor floored it, and it took off MUCH harder than I expected, and did so immediately.
She bought the V-6 Traverse. It just suited her needs more closely.
