The midsized three-row Traverse was redesigned for the 2024 model year.
It remains a functional, family-friendly SUV.
The sole engine is a 328-hp turbocharged four-cylinder teamed with a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic.
The powertrain performs well, but it sounds raspy compared to the previous V6, and fuel economy remains at just 20 mpg overall.
Handling is responsive for a good-sized SUV, the Traverse rides comfortably, and the cabin is quiet--other than when accelerating.
Some drivers didn't find the flat-shaped front seats very comfortable.
The second row is quite roomy, but the third-row seat will be tight for adults.
The infotainment touchscreen is large, yet it's overcrowded with small icons.
The column-mounted electronic gear selector and left-hand side wiper stalk controls take some getting used to.
The optional Super Cruise active driving assistance system can keep the SUV in its lane, vary the speed according to traffic, and change lanes on its own.
The midsized, three-row Chevrolet Traverse is redesigned for the 2024 model year, adopting a more of a traditional SUV appearance, rather than a minivan look as was the case with the previous generation.
The sole engine is a 328-hp turbocharged four-cylinder, teamed with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
The SUV can be had in front- and all-wheel-drive configurations.
A new, off-road-focused Z71 trim brings increased ground clearance, all-terrain tires on 18-inch wheels, and unique suspension and AWD system tuning.
The cabin has a rather minimalist design with a large instrument panel display and massive 17.7-inch infotainment screen.
Seating can be configured for seven or eight passengers.
Maximum tow capacity is 5,000 pounds.
The Traverse comes standard with AEB pedestrian and bicyclist detection, BSW, and RCTW.
The Super Cruise active driving assistance system is available.
The all-new 2018 Chevrolet Traverse rides on a longer wheelbase than the outgoing model, creating more rear passenger space.
Motivation comes from a choice of a turbocharged 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine or from 3.6-liter V6, each paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission.
Standard Traction Mode Select allows drivers to make real-time adjustments, tailoring the vehicle’s performance for the road, or even off-road, conditions.
For safety, it will offer a suite of advanced features, including forward-collision warning, low- and high-speed automatic braking, pedestrian detection and braking, and lane-departure warning with lane-keep assist.
A teen driver system is standard, allowing parents to set certain restrictions and review driving performance. News for 2020 included a new infotainment system, and no more four-cylinder engine option. For 2022, active safety features such as FCW and AEB with pedestrian detection are standard on all trims. The Traverse also receives a number of exterior styling updates, as well as wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.
The Traverse, introduced for 2009, is one of GM's impressive large, car-based, three-row SUVs.
You'll find a spacious and quiet interior with a third-row seat roomy enough to accommodate adults.
Seating for seven or eight is available.
Handling is responsive -- especially given the Traverse's size -- and the ride is comfortable.
Rear visibility isn't great, but clever extra mirrors reduce side blind spots.
The smooth 3.6-liter V6 returned 16 mpg in our tests.
It's mated to a six-speed automatic that sometimes hesitated to downshift; later versions have better transmission programming.
