The 2022 Chevy Traverse offers three new exterior colors: Silver Sage Metallic, Northsky Blue Metallic, and Cherry Red Tintcoat. Here’s our first look at the new red hue.
Assigned RPO code GSK and touch-up paint code WA-252F, Cherry Red Tintcoat is one of eight exterior colors available on the 2022 Chevy Traverse, which include:
- Black Cherry Metallic
- Iridescent Pearl Tricoat
- Mosaic Black Metallic
- Northsky Blue Metallic
- Silver Ice Metallic

- Summit White
- Cherry Red Tintcoat
The Cherry Red Tintcoat color is an extra-cost option, adding an additional $495 to the vehicle’s price. The new color is available on LT Cloth, LT Leather, RS, Premier, and High Country trims. It is not available on the base LS model. The new color can be combined with all Traverse interior colorways.
Here are all available 2022 Chevy Traverse interior colors:
- Jet Black
- Jet Black with Chai
- Jet Black with Clove
- Jet Black with Maple Sugar
- Jet Black with Spice Red
As a reminder, the refreshed 2022 Chevy Traverse receives a refresh (otherwise known as an update, mid-cycle enhancement, or MCE) consisting of updated exterior styling and a handful of updates to the interior.
On the outside, the refreshed Traverse gets a new front fascia with set of new, then LED daytime running lights (DRLs), followed by an equally-new set of LED headlights located below the new DRLs, new taillights, and new alloy wheel options, along with the three new colors we mentioned above.
Inside, the updated Traverse gets a few mild updates, including the addition of wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Other changes include the addition of an Automatic Start/Stop disable switch and Safety Alert Seat, along with a new standard Chevy Safety Assist package that brings more standard active safety tech to the vehicle.
As was the case starting with the 2018 model year, the 2022 Traverse is powered by the naturally aspirated 3.6L V6 LFY gasoline engine, which produces 310 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque. The engine is paired with the GM nine-speed automatic transmission and either front-wheel drive as standard or all-wheel drive as an option.
GM originally intended to launch the updated Chevy Traverse for the 2021 model year, but its arrival was delayed by factors associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Traverse rides on the long wheelbase-variant of the GM C1 platform and is built at the GM Lansing Delta Township plant in Michigan. Production of the 2022 Chevy Traverse resumed on October 25th after being delayed due to the ongoing global semiconductor microchip shortage that is expected to remain well into 2022.

I like this color not only in the Traverse, but the HD Silverado, RST, and the Corvette.
IMO, the front grill of the Premier Traverse should have an option to have it blacked out as well as the fog surrounds. Even the “Black out RST” is not all black.
F I N A L L Y . . . listened to requests from customers and gave them what they want. There are a large amount of buyers who want RED vehicles. It doesn’t hurt GM to make a color available, and they will see how many sell.
