Following a teaser on July 13th, 2023, General Motors finally officially debuted the U.S.-bound 2024 Chevy Traverse after months of speculation and GM Authority coverage. Now, the Detroit-based automaker has also unveiled the Canadian-spec 2024 Traverse crossover.
While the differences between the U.S- and Canadian-destined vehicles are slight, there are a few notable exceptions, including:
- Standard AWD across the entire trim lineup
- Standard heated second-row outboard seats
- Standard heated steering wheel
- Standard heated outside mirrors
As a reminder, the 2024 Chevy Traverse stands as the first model year of the Bow Tie brand’s third-gen full-size crossover. On the exterior, the all-new Traverse features a more truck-like look and incorporates Chevy’s “High Brow” design language.
On the inside, the cabin is headlined by the 17.7-inch diagonal color infotainment touchscreen, which can be found across the entire trim lineup as standard. The thoroughly overhauled cockpit sports a redesigned steering wheel, along with more interior space overall, improved ergonomics, new colorways, and higher-quality materials.
In regard to safety, every 2024 Traverse is equipped with the Chevy Safety Assist package (RPO code PED), which includes the following (relevant RPO codes listed in parentheses):
- Automatic Emergency Braking (UHY)
- Front Pedestrian Braking (UKJ)
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning (UHX)
- Following Distance Indicator (UE4)
- Forward Collision Alert (UEU)
- IntelliBeam (TQ5)
Under the hood, the naturally aspirated 3.6L V6 LFY gasoline engine has been replaced by the turbocharged 2.5L I4 LK0 gasoline engine, which is rated at 315 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque. Power is routed to the ground via the GM eight-speed automatic transmission.
As for structure, the 2024 Traverse rides on a revised version of the long-wheelbase variant of the GM C1 platform, which now incorporates the Global B digital architecture. Production is expected to kick off late December 2023 at the GM Lansing Delta Township plant in Michigan.

The “C” pillar just looks stupid. A totally unnecessary design feature.
My impression upon my first view of the roofline was also rather negative, but the more I look at it, the more I see it as playing a positive role in the Traverse;s visible impact. It gives it a stand-out quality within the sea of sameness. We’ll see what happens with sales. Its similarity to the tail of a jet airplane will either fly with the public or crash land.
Looks good, too bad it is 4 cylinder only.
If you want to “pull anything” get a V6 ’23 before they’re gone.
The 24 should tow better than the 23 with more torque and a much flatter torque curve with a far lower peak.
Timeshare salesman ?
I would like to see the outside dimensions of this.
Fins to the left, fins to the right……….
The dorsal fin C pillar looks stupid and the 4 cylinder engine is a non starter. I hope you don’t screw up the Acadia like this. I’ve been waiting for the larger Acadia to replace the mini you introduced in 2017. You need to be in touch with your loyal customers.
Does this small over pressured engine need premium fuel
I might be interested if they had gone RWD and 4WD. I have a 2010 Equinox AWD V6 and it’s been ok. Lots of repairs in recent years but it’s coming up on 168K miles now. I just don’t understand why GM doesn’t follow what Ford and Dodge have done with their mid size SUV’s and go RWD. Makes no sense.
It would be nice to make these in a four-wheel-drive with all wheel drive just don’t get it and also better gas mileage would be a key factor in making these type of vehicles
Glad I got my ’23 Traverse. The turbo is a no for me, and the tail lights look like someone in GM Design is an Ultimate Warrior fan from back in the day. I do like the full screen on the interior, but my SIL has similar in her Trailblazer and a couple times it’s just gone black while driving down the road. A stop and restart brings it back, but that doesn’t really sell me either. Maybe future years will bring back a N.A. V6. The new front grill gives more ‘macho dude’ than ‘soccer mom with a bunch of kids’ vibes.
