Hi Guys !!, Very impressive with the new Traverse, thanks Zack you look like a king on the back, like the content. Thank You and have a great day and enjoy your stay.

I think Chevy hit the ball out of the park! Very impressed. :)

I was waiting for this review! Thanks

I agree all models should have a optional second row bench seat. Georgia is a great State. Was there this past December and Savannah is a beautiful City. Hope you both enjoyed your time in Georgia.

Chevy has really upped their game on their SUVs. Everything from the Trax to the Traverse is a hit. It's also nice to see some color coming back to interiors. After years of bland black, greys, and beige, reds, blues, and even yellow on the Trax is a breath of fresh air.

A cute couple that works so well together.

Great review you two , yes its very quite inside even my 2010 is very quite . Glad to see the refinements and the outside style now looks great .My 2010 bench second is nice but the middle position is tight between the seatbelt locations. Great job GM.

Great review

Great Job Chevy! I had a 2019 Traverse and enjoyed it but his looks so much better.

Yesterday I saw a gray RS version and it stopped me in my tracks ... It is great looking SUV ... the skinny light above the headlights has a sequential turn signal ... it looks stunning

great review! love this car, real buttons and knobs are a necessity to me, glad to see they keep those there.

Great report as usual. Pricing is quite reasonable, I was surprised!

awesome video, thanks for sharing!! U2 now flying around the US to test different cars... I like what your opinions about this car, I do like it, but this is 3 rows based, i think it quite big for me... if they have 2row version, it will be my consideration for sure.

Another first class review. Does the ride and refinement filter down from Cadilac?

You guys are really good at this. Signed, JimmyZed.

Glad you continue to mention lack of available 2nd row bench in Z71 and some other trims. Bulbous vehicles like these need maximum utility including benches.

Agreed with you guys. They nailed this. A very strong offering in the segment. Time will tell for reliability (I didn't know they had a 2.5T engine), but they should be able to sell every one of these they can build.

Nice review.

Had so much problems with 2018 traverse from day 30 it’s laughable, not kidding don’t buy any past used traverse, seriously you think you bought a deal there is reason for that, whatever you think you saved by buying traverse you’ll spend double on repairs. So, I’m kind of skeptical about the new traverse but, on the flip side I ended up with awesome 4Runner. Traverse can traverse itself to an oblivion !

My brother is on his 3rd traverse no issues. However, all have been leases so he gets them brand spanking new, and knowing how he drives, he takes real good care of them and that works. I’m downgrading from a Lexus to save money considering the RS, and Chevy is top 5 in reliability with Toyota and Lexus as well, so I’m in it for that. But I can’t front I’m scared shitless 😂😂

Super acceleration both and looks super in red too. A big car that has to come with a big price tag? 🎉

Chevy always makes their large SUVs very quiet. Wish they would do the same for the Equinox, Blazer, etc.

Great job and video as always! I agree with you both regarding the second row bench seat. Chevy, come on! Gives us the option of a second row bench seat even in your higher trim models. I love everything else about the new Traverse, especially the Z71 model/trim. But, not having the option for a second row bench seat in the higher trim models is ridiculous and is probably a deal killer for me. Guess I will check out a new 4Runner or Land Cruiser and see if they offer a second row bench seat.

LOOKS GOOD

Looks to be truly competitive with other 3-row SUVs like the Palisade, Telluride, Grand Highlander, Pilot, etc. Price point is huge. They’ve done a nice job.

Very good review. My wife and I will definitely consider the Traverse probably about this time next year. One thing I would like to see form more testers, is sliding the second row up to a position that is comfortable, and then seeing how much room is in the third row. Many vehicles have so much room in the second row, that sliding the second row forward for third row passenger room seems practical. I also agree, that it would be nice to have the bench seat option for higher models. Thanks again for the good reviews.

I second that. Don't only show us the legroom with seats pushed all the way back on their tracks.

You mentioned the cabin noise. I have a 2023. I really enjoy it and I have the RS. My biggest gripe though is the cabin/wind noise. Is there a noticeable difference between the two. I have been thinking about trading in for the newer model, but this is a major concern for me. Maybe it doesn’t bother others, but for me it’s a big deal. What are your thoughts?

I went yesterday to test drive the new Traverse with the Z 71 package cloth seats, super cruise and the panoramic sunroof. I love the truck, but there were a couple of issues. When we folded down the manual third row with the headrest would not fold in. With the third row folded flat, we could not bring the captains chairs all the way back because of the headrest. The dealer couldn’t even figure it out. On top of that when we put the rear AC on, the compressor or fan in the back right of the vehicle was so loud it was extremely annoying, especially since the car is so quiet inside without the radio on. Not sure if you get a second chance to see the vehicle, but when you get into the backseat and turn on the rear AC controls, listen to the fan and the right rear of the vehicle. Other than that, we found the traverse , very easy drive and very responsive. They definitely priced it right as well. My pic would be the Z 71 with the super cruise and the upgraded seats. Around US$52,000.

Can the new 2.5 Turbo Four run on regular grade gas? If yes; does the power drop?

I was shocked with the price! Well done Chevrolet! I hope they are reliable as well. Great review once again!

Kudos to GM for great looking SUV inside and out.

Great looking vehicle, but offering only 4-cylinder engines is a disappointing sign of the times. Sure, technology has advanced, but in every one of these new 4-cyl engines I've test driven in factory standard mode, there's a significant delay from pedal to acceleration. Safety isn't just about lane warnings and air bags...it's having enough power available in a split-second to avoid trouble on the roads. Great look and features, but the engine is the heart of every vehicle.

Last two vehicles were Acadias. Having to replace- not liking the vertical screen on the new GMC. Have a rent -Palisade Calligraphy and it’s a nice ride with cool features I haven’t seen on other SUV’s at this price point. Torn between it and the Traverse.

I believe the New GMC Acadia has a much better styled exterior and interior especially in the AT4 and Denali trims. My Money is on the GMC. The second row bench seating must be offered in all trims of both the Traverse and Acadia. The Tablet style display in the Acadia makes more sense to me. I do like the side marker lights on the Traverse over the non-existent ones on the Acadia Elevation and Denali trims. The most popular trims will be the Chevy LT and Acadia Elevation trims. Power passenger seat on all trims is a must on all trims. I can not wait to do my test drive of these two new vehicles!

They should have a removable middle row middle seat like the Toyota sienna minivan has

I am Korean. Thank you for the review I have some questions. 1. Does the RS trim have a HUD function? 2. Is it possible to go forward and backward with the vehicle remote control from the outside when parking?

Happy to see those two cup holders behind the center console arm rest. So useful. My wife and I both roll with a tumbler of water and usually stop for a coffee along the way. Thats four cup holders in use if my math is correct. So many manufactures miss this and it’s shocking. Lay flat rear seats, column shifter freeing up console space, useful and abundant cabin storage, quite cabin and smooth ride-they nailed it. Did I mention cup holders? A good example of form following function. The only big downside is GM collecting and/or selling driver data from these tech heavy vehicles.

What would be the best 3 row suv in your opinion? Used or new, budget 45k.

The General did a good job on this new vehicle (update). I am very impressed… both inside and out. I’m personally not convinced about GM’s reliability, so my advice would be to stick with a Lease. Or… as I might do… RENT one for a weekend (cottaging or long distance trip). Their addressing interior sound levels impresses me. I think to get the general public to get real excited, I might suggest ‘doubling up’ on a Limited Run trim. Bring back the Typhoon or Exorcist (Camero?) trims. Go from a 2-1/2 Litre single turbo (320-ish h.p.) to a 5.0 Litre Twin Turbo. There’ll always be some yahoo who will write a cheque for more than a hundred grand for something like that… has that sorta taste (or money). Even if you paint a Fiery Giant Chicken (Phoenix?) on it’s bonnet… or rather it’s ‘hood’. Regardless, I still like it! Thanks for the video.

I am so excited for another 4L turbo engine! I can't wait to test drive what the car companies are forcing down my throat. Also less than 7 in of ground clearance for a SUV? I root for a car company who will keep a good V6 engine around. This is a pretty minivan for the folks not wanting to buy a minivan.

I've been a Chevy guy my entire life. After the 6L80E in our 2018 Silverado blew up at only 113k miles because of GM's terrible torque converter design (which cost us $6100 to have rebuilt - video on my channel about it), I swore I was done with GM. This new Traverse though...it's a looker for sure. I'm still skeptical of GM's quality control, but if these turn out to be decent I may give them a look. Too new for me to trust just yet, but time will tell the story.

Happy with my 2024 Palisade Caligraphy :) Way more features for the top trim, better fuel economy even with the V6 and nicer inside/out plus top materials. Not bad this Traverse too !

The problem with turbos is that they need to be warmed up fully before cooling down. Unfortunately, many trips are short like going to grocery store, and thus never get hot enough. This will shorten the life of the turbo(s) over time.

That floating roof line shark fin is so unrefined... I like the GMC side profile more but Chevy front end.

Even if it's not as reliable as a Toyota Grand Highlander or a Honda Pilot, the MSRP difference, interest rate difference, and the typical dealership-level discounts that are offered by most 'domestic' brands, it would still be cheaper to repair and run this over a 7-10 year timeframe than the two Japanese offerings.

Nice video guys, something weird on the fuel efficiency as usually 2WD vs AWD doesn’t decrease fuel efficiency that much. That’s a big difference on the highway MPG.

What is the deal with the car industry. In my experience any American 4 cylinder engine has problems sooner than later. Why would GM take out the V6 in the second largest SUV besides the Tahoe?

I still like my 2024 Buick Avenir with the V6.

Ehhh....not for me, nothing made sense with some of the features. 8" screen is perfect. 12" is just excessive, a bit ridiculous, and redundancy feature. V6 is the proper size for an suv. All they could've done is refine and add more power and torque to the V6. And please stop putting sun roof/panoramic on a vehicle. It's just an added expense and a costly repair.
