GM officially unveiled the all-new third-gen 2024 Chevy Traverse last week, showing off a wealth of updates and changes affecting the crossover’s interior layout, tech features, and powertrain. Naturally, the 2024 Chevy Traverse also introduces new exterior styling, and now, we’re getting our first look at the 2024 Chevy Traverse LT out in the real world without extensive camouflage.
This particular example is covered in Summit White paint (paint code GAZ), and is seen with some black-and-white body wrap on the hood and roof rails. Nevertheless, the new design is easy to make out and digest.
This 2024 Chevy Traverse is also an example of the LT trim level, which slots in between the base-level LS and off-road-flavored Z71 with regard to the trim level lineup. The top of the trim level lineup is occupied by the sporty RS.
The 2024 Chevy Traverse LT is notable for the chrome slats seen across the grille, a feature that’s unique to the LT. Additionally, the LT incorporates chrome surrounds for the headlights. The slats in the nose include a large upper grille bar (also in chrome) housing a golden Chevy Bow Tie badge, which combines with thin upper lighting signatures to visually enhance the crossover’s width. LED lighting is included as standard across the 2024 Chevy Traverse range.
Moving into the sides of the vehicle, we see what appears to be a set of optional 22-inch alloy wheels. The wheels present a two-tone finish with silver and black. Combined with the crisp white panels and complementary black trim, this color combo helps to show off the new design. To note, the roof rails are included as standard on LT trims, unlike the base-model LS.
Finally, the rear end shows off a small roof spoiler that neatly sandwiches the horizontally oriented taillights. The taillight housings wrap around into the rear quarter panels, while a set of quad exhaust tips are mounted under the rear bumper.
As a reminder, the 2024 Chevy Traverse cradles the turbocharged 2.5L I4 LK0 gasoline engine, which is rated at 315 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque. Production takes place at the GM Lansing Delta Township plant in Michigan, while under the skin, you’ll find the long-wheelbase variant of the GM C1 platform.

I don’t understand the fact that they abandoned the market that buys the Premier level. The LT is only offered with black or grey cloth or black “Evotex”. Every other manufacturer offers tan / beige / brown, etc. Also, red all over the interior, (RS, Z71), is a hard pass for many.
I agree. GMA reported early on that the High Country trim would go away to make room for ZL1 trim.
It appears now that Premier also went away to make room for RS.
Perhaps LT trims will be able to get loaded up to near-Premier level and appearance….
I am not sure why anyone would care if it says “premier”? If you look at the Blazer you can get a Premier or an RS. The only difference is the RS is an appearance package. The take rate for the Premier trim is extremely low. So if the Traverse in the RS trim has the same options as the outgoing Premier why would it matter what the trim is called?
I do agree on the interior color choices and the cheap red trim, but it’s about simplifying the product line and maximizing profitability. We are probably going to see more of this based on yesterdays earnings call.
I don’t care about the Premier or RS label … it’s about offering interior color choices. To be competetitive, there needs to be options … even if it’s at an upcharge. Again, red accents are a no go for many.
It’s okay but not enough to disrupt the current sales order. Highlander, Grand Cherokee, and, for some reason, Explorer, will continue to dominate.
Jeep hasn’t been as successful lately so maybe there is a chance to grab a few customers. New Arcadia is what I’m interested in. GM needs something revolutionary to grab market share & disrupt market status quo

5) HONDA PILOT +2.98% 24,704 23,989 8% 9%
This is actually untrue about the difference between a Blazer RS and Premiere.
And it’s more than “if it says Premiere or not”. Different materials, trim , colors and available options.
And your attempt at a technical term is also untrue. While it’s true that Traverse High Country trim sold at lower volumes, the Premier sales volume was exactly where GM targeted.
China us getting the Traverse in a Hybrid. Chevy is giving really bad gas mileage ranges. They we be fined for that, and I am sure that the buyer will pay a penalty. This vehicle claiming toget 20 mPG.
My 2019 High Country 6 cyl gets 25 MPG?????
So glad I bought a 2023. The front looks nice. The “C” pillar looks horrible and GM could have found some better looking taillights too. The 2.5L turbo 4 cylinder engine is a disappointment to me regardless if it does produce a little more horsepower and torque; just not a fan of small turbo charged engines.
Ditto on all.
Looking like a baby Tahoe.
another ugly box for the masses…ugh bring back some stylish sedan and coupes..looks like every other suv on the road…oh look and i one of 3 colors white…boring as hell
The market is moving away from sedans and coupes because people don’t buy them. Don’t get mad at GM, get mad at your fellow consumers for only buying trucks, SUVs, and crossovers.
people dont buy them because no one offers any….im over seeing fat woman hauling crap in an wheezy 4 cylinder suv, while yakking a a cellphone. Of course the suv is either black, white, silver, and has the “wont show dirty” black interior….
Stop Hating It actual Looks Good and It’s better that the first
i couldnt careless how it looks or if its better than the first one. Ill never own a tall station wagon…they were ugly in the 1970s and 80s, and all these look alike suvs are ugly now…
You guys complain about everything. As someone who doesn’t like Traverses at all, this actually looks great imo.
Everyone is going to paint the C-Pillar
The Traverse has grown up! I like the muscular look, and kudos to Chevy for daring to be be different. Finally a vehicle with brand identity. Love it or hate it, you will know it’s Chevrolet.
Looks like a shark is riding in the backseat of this thing. My eyes are drawn to it and not in a good way. Pass.
So many companies from people who haven’t even driven the thing 😂. Calm ya tits and just wait for it to hit dealers
We are on our 3rd Traverse…a 2023 High Country. Love the Interior changes. Not particularly a fan of the C Pillar. The Traverse is incredibly with the current engine is one of the smoothest cars I’ve ever driven. The jury is still out on the new drivetrain.

Fins Up….Fins to the left. Fins to the right.
Well said ~~/)~~’up
Love my 23 traverse, 24 looks like a truck front end which I’m no a fan of
I had a 2011 and it was a great vehicle! I’m not a fan of the the C pillar. The upcoming Acadia probably takes another approach in styling. But, overall it was a good improvement across the board! Styling and techno, at least it doesn’t look like every other Asian crossover and that’s a good thing!
I like it but they should have pictured something other than boring generic white.
I like the vehicle the way it looks with the exception of the sea pillar the smaller window makes the interior feel more confined as well as the outside Appearance seems to be odd I think you’re thinking of not having it look like the suburban it is what it is I would like to see the sea pillar left alone on the inside as well as the outside that is my only thought for that for the engine 4 cylinder Turbo nice for a flat road and a small incline when towing I would like to see a 5 cylinder turbo or both if you wanted to cut back on emissions and get more mileage
The Lexus style “C” pillar is UGLY !!!
Minus front end kind of looks like a Kia carnival side profile . Kia tried marketing the carnival as a non minivan , epic fail . Now gm is trying to market this thing as a full on suv , another epic fail .
That C pillar treatment was not at all well thought-out.
A part of the reason why i feel like gm knocked this out of the park is due to the fact that the lower trims dont even look standard base models. Minimal black plastic, still retains the quad tips, hell even the base wheels look good
We are on our third GMC Acadia, and although the new baby Tahoe looks inviting, the new longer upcoming Acadia when my vote again with the 6 out do the 4 cylinder anytime.
The new Acadia will not have a 6 cyl, so you better get the outgoing model while you can.
Guess I’ll keep my 2019 Black Traverse High Country at 14,500 miles a little longer. Or I might go back to GMC Acadia DENALI, since they made it longer again. Traverse is turning into one ugly mess now. Why do they change a good thing.
Agreed. It was so good looking. Now, it’s horrible.
Those must be optional LT rims as they don’t match what is on Chevy’s site for both LS and Lt trims. I think this looks pretty good but will reserve judgement until I see one in the sheet metal.
