The updated 2022 Chevrolet Traverse is set to launch this fall after General Motors was forced to delay its arrival due to various setbacks brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The mid-cycle refresh for the three-row crossover originally debuted as a 2021 model year vehicle, however GM pushed it back to the 2022 model year shortly after in April. Customers looking to get themselves in the updated 2022 Chevrolet Traverse can expect the vehicle to begin arriving at dealerships this fall, shortly after the updated 2022 Chevrolet Equinox begins shipping out in the summer.
The 2022 Chevrolet Traverse features revised exterior styling with different front and rear fasciae, new standard LED headlamps, different wheel designs, new interior seating options, a new available eight-inch infotainment display and standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. All versions of the vehicle will feature the same naturally-aspirated 3.6 V6 LFY engine, which produces 310 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque. A GM 9-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive are standard, while all-wheel drive is available as an option.
Another important change made to the Traverse for the 2022 model year was the addition of six new standard safety features: Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning and Following Distance Indicator. Furthermore, a new Adaptive Cruise Control – Advanced system will be available on the 3LT, RS and Premier trims, while GM’s Safety Alert Seat comes as standard on Premier and High Country models.
GM released two new special edition versions of the 2021 Traverse to help keep the vehicle fresh while the mid-cycle refresh was put on the backburner. These included the new Sport Edition and Midnight Edition packages, which are set apart by their black exterior trim and black-painted wheels.

Much Better.
Should have added the 2.7 from the Silverado, though idk how well it would have mounted longitudinally. They fit in the 2.0 I4 so their is room for a 4 cylinder.
Jeep just gave a big chuckle
Should fit the 3.0 liter diesel in it with the all wheel drive.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee interior just put all others in the class on high notice.
GM in almost every vehicle segment has one of the worst interiors if not the worst one.
I have been saying for years that the Future will be ALL about the switch into EV’s but in the meantime it is becoming an all out fight in the Industry on the interior front. GM better wake up and do something about this ASAP.
The younger Generation especially is not loyal to one Brand and will jump from Brand o Brand. They want the absolute best for their money and they (for the most part) are clueless about powertrains. Will become even more irrelevant with switch to EV’s. Then it will be about range and Interior.
Look sharp. But it needs more. With the price tag of this vehicle it’s kind of hard to get excited about an 8-in touch screen. Also kind of hard to get excited about naturally aspirated 3.6 l again. (With a little bit more effort they could drop the 2.7 turbo in with more torque and likely better MPG) At one time that was great stuff but it’s kind of lacking and old now. Until they start making things exciting again interior and engine wise I think I’ll stay away.
2.7s and 3.0s are not engineered for east/west configurations and the vehicle is not engineered for north/south installations.
I just bought a new 2020 traverse LT in September and I absolutely love mine. It has all the room I could want and it drives great I am very happy with the current edition and I am sure the update version will only get better.
Until you have to pay 5 grand for a timing chain! Oh, Yeah. That’s where we are atm!
$5000?? You’re getting robbed. We’ve never needed one but it’s usually no more than $2000 including installation with only about $350 going to the parts. It’s usually also unnecessary until around 120,000 miles.
We have a 2018 traverse and we love it.. our lease is up in August and we can’t wait to get into another..
I own a 2012 all wheel drive LTZ with 190k miles. Spark plugs at 100k through the dealership. I had the transmission rebuilt at 120k for $5k at an Aaction Transmission. The water pump at 170k miles at a Chevy dealer for $900. Front struts and rear shocks, lubricants, filters, brakes and tires at independent mechanic. It’s a Florida vehicle that’s driven to Toronto in the winter. Multiple trips to NC, Georgia. Traveling with a family of 5. It’s been handed down to my son now and it will still run strong for many more miles so long it’s driven normally.
