The new Chevrolet Traverse in the fiercely competitive mid-size SUV segment is joining the off-road parade in both Canada and the US during the 2024 model year, Chevrolet said this morning. Chevy also said it has more SUV-like proportions, key safety features with families in mind, and more horsepower. It also has the new-age equivalent of a bold, new grille.
“Our new Traverse is designed and engineered to act and look more like an SUV,” said Scott Bell, vice president, Chevrolet. “Led by the all-new Z71, the 2024 Traverse builds on the success of its predecessor and will undoubtedly enable us to be in more customer driveways. Four distinct trims – LS, LT, Z71 and RS – offer unique design and greater content choices.”
All models are powered by a new 2.5-liter turbocharged engine that delivers a GM-estimated 315 horsepower and 317 lb.-ft. of torque. Notably, this is a 19% increase in torque. It is bolted to an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive is standard. The Z71 has an “off-road-capable twin-clutch AWD system.” When properly equipped on LT and more expensive trims, the new Traverse has a maximum trailering rating of up to 5000 pounds (2268 kg).11

All Traverse trim levels come with an updated “Buckle to Drive” interlock that requires the front-seat passenger as well as the driver to be buckled before driving, and Teen Driver2 via the MyChevrolet app. Rear Seat Belt Reminder is also new, which alerts the driver if second or third row passengers have taken off their seat belt. Features like Buckle to Drive and Rear Seat Belt Reminder in the Traverse are strong reminders for drivers and their passengers to buckle every time they are in the vehicle.
Optional items include Super Cruise1 hands-free driver assistance technology, including trailering and automatic lane change capabilities, Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist2 and Driver Attention Assist2.
