Just a few months ago, GM Authority spy photographers captured our first look at the all-new 2024 Chevy Traverse – which features a redesigned exterior and an overhauled interior – out testing on public roads. Now, we’ve captured more pictures of the third-generation crossover at the 2023 Detroit Auto show.
Configured in the all-terrain Z71 trim level, this unit is finished in the Sterling Gray Metallic (color code GXD) paint color. An interesting piece worth noting is that this Traverse is the first unibody crossover to wear the off-road-inspired Z71 badge.
With a new generation comes a new look, as the 2024 Chevy Traverse features Bow Tie brand’s “High Brow” design language. Notably, this translates to two tiers of lighting elements, a large grille, and red tow hooks for a more truck-like appearance. Additional design choices include forward-leaning C-pillars.
In the rear, we find more all-new lighting elements and bright chrome quad exhaust tips, along with blacked-out Chevy Bow Tie logo.
Although not pictured here, the cockpit of the 2024 Traverse is highlighted by a 17.7-inch diagonal color infotainment touchscreen, which is standard across the entire model lineup. The new cabin also features a redesigned steering wheel, as well as more interior space overall, improved ergonomics, new colorways, and higher-quality materials.
Under the hood, the naturally aspirated 3.6L V6 LFY gasoline engine has been supplanted by the turbocharged 2.5L I4 LK0 gasoline engine, which develops a GM-rated 328 horsepower and 326 pound-feet of torque. A GM eight-speed automatic transmission handles the shifting duties, along with standard FWD and optional AWD.
In regard to structure, the all-new Traverse rides on a revised variant of the long-wheelbase variant of the GM C1 platform, which now incorporates various upgrades like the Global B digital architecture. Production is set to kick off in early 2024 at the GM Lansing Delta Township plant in Michigan.

I’m really, really, wondering about the 4 cylinder engine when you have a full load in the Traverse. It’s a nice looking vehicle, I had a 2012 with the 3.6, which had a 3.6, which had good power, but the timing chain went at 60,000 miles. GM fixed it under warranty thankfully. I would consider a 2024, but there’s nothing worse then having a vehicle full of people and you pull out to pass on a two lane road, and you realize you are underpowered.
It has more power and torque than the outgoing V6s. So… not exactly sure how it could be worse than hauling around 6,000 lbs with the LLT and its 270 lb-ft.
However, even with more power, they really whiffed on not making this RWD-biased and dropping in the full 2.7L. Could have been the 3-row crossover towing and hauling champ. Instead its just another chump in the segment.
The ‘24 has higher power and torque than the 3.6L. The titanium dual scroll impeller turbo creates peak torque at a very low rpm. And with the flat torque curve, it should easily outperform the 3.6L.
I would not buy one without driving it first.
A 2hr. test drive for me if I do not know the vehicle.
Some repairs on turbo engines are labor intensive, consider getting the warranty if you can get a discount on one, it is typical that dealer profit is half the cost of the warranty on the first price they throw at you.
I think GM did a great job with this. I would rather have seen rwd based but they probably want to protect the Tahoe and Yukon.
Tahoe and Yukon don’t need protecting. 85% of Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon/Yukon XL owners are repeat buyers….
looks nice from outside, scared to look under the hood.
I would consider it, but not without the v6, which I doubt will be completely trouble free for 10+ years like the ones in my XTS and Impala are. Also, the recommended higher octane gas is a buck a gallon higher around here.
Joe B. While your paying more at the pump for higher octane gas in the long run 91 or 93 octane gas is actually better for your engine especially if it requires it… I once owned a 2010 equinox with the V6 and it ran better on the the 91 or 93 octane granted I would only use super unleaded once a month in it… Now my 2020 equinox 2.0T requires 91 or 93 octane gas and it not only runs better but my fuel mileage is also better because of the higher octane and finally this 2.0T can easily outrun my 2010 equinox with the V6 at the same time get better miles per gallon then the V6 could ever dream of. Look even Toyota finally dropped the V6 from the new Tacoma… You have to remember in the 80s and 90s when V6 engines where popular a 4 cylinder back then could peak at what 120-130HP and the old V6 would maybe get 200-220HP… times have changed my friend.
Looks like an earlier model Dodge Durango. I enjoy my 2018 Chevrolet Z Suburban.
Looks to much like a Toyota front end. Engine may be ok but wonder about the longevity of the turbo. Would like to see the tow rating.
Joe Dillard turbo engines are just fine my friends wife has an equinox with the turbo engine and 70,000 plus thousand miles on it and it runs great never a problem. It’s not 1985 anymore..
I’m sold on this or the gmc acadia subject to a test drive. Can’t shake the feeling of a 4 cylinder red lining every time you step down in gas, but it seems this won’t be the case. The big selling point on this vice the Tahoe is the size. Tahoea/yukons are massive, don’t know how you all fit them in parking garages. These dimensions seem perfect to me.
Power output is clearly not a problem. But I understand the new engine is based closely on the 2.7L from the Silverado. The problem is that engine is very noisy and unrefined. Having had one for 2 years, The noise is very annoying and tiresome. The benefit of the 3.6L is that is is very quiet. Let us hope that GM has done something, anything to address all of the noise!
For 2024, GM backs up the 2.7 Silverado with a 5 year/100,000 mile warranty. It would be nice if they did the same with the Traverse.
Basic engineering principles state the more complicated you make a product the more likely it will fail. The 2.4 engine will run at high rpm most of the time in a vehicle the size of the Traverse or new Acadia. You decide how durable you think it will be after four or five years. I’m going to pass on these two until GM puts a decent engine under the hood. Sad to say “No Thanks”
