First breaking cover in July of 2023, the 2024 Chevy Traverse debuts the crossover’s all-new third generation, showing off new exterior styling, an overhauled cabin, new technology features, and a new turbocharged engine. The next-gen Traverse was previously scheduled to begin production earlier this month. However, GM Authority has learned that the start of regular production (SORP) for the 2024 Chevy Traverse has been pushed back to an as-of-yet undisclosed date.
“We expect production of the 2024 Traverse to start soon, with customer deliveries to follow shortly after,” a Chevy spokesperson told GM Authority.
Back in December of 2022, GM Authority reported that the SORP for the 2024 Chevy Traverse was scheduled to kick off in December of the 2023 calendar year. Fast forward a year, and GM Authority later learned that the three-row crossover had a revised production start date scheduled to begin February 12th, 2024. That date has come and gone, and now, it remains unclear when production will begin.
Meanwhile, production of the 2024 Chevy Traverse Limited appears to have been extended beyond its scheduled January 18th end-of-production date at the GM Lansing Delta Township plant in Michigan. The 2024 Chevy Traverse Limited is offered as stop-gap measure between the outgoing second-generation Traverse and incoming third-generation Traverse.
The next-gen 2024 Chevy Traverse will offer four trim levels, including LS, LT, Z71, and RS, with pricing starting at $38,995 for LS, $41,395 for LT, $47,795 for Z71, and $55,595 for RS. Prices listed here include destination freight charge, set at $1,395. Check out our previous coverage for more information on 2024 Chevy Traverse pricing, including options and packages.
Front-wheel drive is included as standard on LS, LT, and RS trims, with all-wheel drive offered as optional, while the Traverse Z71 is equipped with all-wheel drive as standard. All trims are equipped with the turbocharged 2.5L I4 LK0 gasoline engine as standard, while the GM C1 platform provides the underpinning.

Maybe they are working on quality control. lol
Too Many Mindless Constraints!!!
Weird, then, that I got a VIN number for mine this morning and it is ready for transport.
Your Traverse Limited?
Z71. Thanks though.
What packages did you order with it?
Supercruise and sunroof. You know, the ones found on the limited.
The super cruise is an option within a package. What are the names and codes of the packages you ordered on the config sheet your dealer provided?
Let me know which of these packages indicate Limited so I can cancel my order and get a refund on my deposit please. That would save me a lot of time and money.

Update. I just got a build for my NEW 2024 Traverse RS.
I ordered the vehicle on January 4th. On February 21st I got my final pricing. It was accepted for production of February 27th and I was assigned the build date yesterday of April 8th.
PS Who is Guss?
Incorrect article. They are building them. Your a weeks late on this.
if the 2024 Chevy Traverse is to be built and delivery to start soon after, how come the company has not even released MPG information and other pertinent / detailed information on Chevy website for consumer review and decision-making?
Maybe the shark fin C pillar will grow on me a bit more. I like what they’ve done with the rest of the vehicle.
The large three row crossovers have been among gm’s best products.
They just announced a shutdown of Lansing Delta Township and (practically) everyone is laid off temporarily.
There isn’t jack-all coming out of this factory for a month.
We had one built already. Lol
Limited?
Same (RS2)
They have to many 2024 limited to sell that are really 23s i think they just called them 24s
i made a offer on 1 for a 10% discount all dealers refused at this pace may never see next generation 24s oh well time to move on from GM

GM needs to put four-wheel-drive in these trucks this all-wheel-drive just don’t get it. Give us an option for four-wheel-drive again. Make this available in the GMC models. Also terrain. Specially, Acadia also the blazer.
I wonder if these people with orders in and getting vins know they’re getting a limited?
I believe they are the new 2024 model. I was into my dealership in Oshawa on February 22nd and they have 5 ready for shipping. I was told there is (was) a problem with the software to enable the headlights to automatically turn on. It sounds like the problem has be resolved because the hold on shipping was lifted on the 5 produced. The hold on mine has been lifted for production.

In the 24 Traverse models in China, it is still unknown whether they are HEV, PHEV, or gasoline powered vehicles
So sick of the delay. I understand the strike happened but either give us a discount or don’t even show the 2024. I put a preorder payment for a Z71. More like a 2025 Traverse.
They are building them. There’s 20,000 units set to be wrapped with corrosion prevention film and they’re gonna sit until they figure out whatever issues they’re having.
Bad motors in them , currently working on a fix.
Why do people just say things? Please…tell us about these bad motors
Exactly. Where do these people get their information. To quote my American friends -“Fake News”. I was told by my dealer it was a problem with the lights coming on automatically in the dark. Apparently it has been fixed.
The auto lights was an issue with the Colorados. Chevy hasn’t yet updated their site to include the 2024 Traverse configurator tool. Until they do, all of the pre-orders you see are either Traverse Limited or dealers taking money and blowing smoke up people’s butts
Mine is the new RS and it is ordered through my dealer.
This article is inaccurate. Many people have already confirmed their order has already been built and is currently awaiting or in the process of shipment, mine included (RS2 Model).
And yours is a 2024 Traverse Limited. Not the redesign. If you wanted the redesign, sorry your dealer ordered the wrong thing
The extra “S” is for Salty. Why so salty, Gusssss?
Salty about what? Folks ordering 2024 Traverse Limited and expecting the redesign or folks putting money down for a preorder that doesn’t exist yet?
If you have proof that Lansing Delta hasn’t built any 2024 Traverse Gen 3s, I welcome it. Until then, I have an order sheet, and order number, and a VIN number that indicate otherwise. Maybe my build is done and waiting parts that were out of supply or maybe it’s shipping tomorrow, but I’m certainly smart enough to know how to read the documents my dealer gave me and the updates I’ve received from GM to know I didn’t pay for a limited. Please show me the proof that I have a 2023 Limited Z71 coming as I’d like to take it to my dealer and request a refund on my deposit.
KC…having an order sheet is not proof something has been built…having a VIN number don’t indicate anything either. What’s funny is above you state “Weird, then, that I got a VIN number for mine this morning and it is ready for transport.” and here (2 days later) you state “Maybe my build is done and waiting parts that were out of supply or maybe it’s shipping tomorrow”
How is your build done if it’s waiting parts??? LOL How is it waiting parts if it’s “ready for transport”????
You can’t even order these online yet…so guessing you’ve got a slick talking salesman that has convinced you to put a down payment on a car because he gave you a piece of paper listing all the features you wanted.
Go out to sites like “Autozone” or other car part sites, funny how none of them list a 2024 Chevy Traverse Z71…if they were ready, they would have oil filters, light bulbs and so on listed on the parts listings…but you can’t find any parts for them…that’s because they aren’t being sold yet!!! You can even enter VIN numbers in them sites…take that VIN number they gave you and run it through the site and see what pops up,.
Guss Guss has no idea what he is talking about. Please, everyone don’t believe his comments. He has no direct knowledge of the GM ordering process, and is obviously upset with GM for some reason.
1. You can never order GM vehicles online, you can build your preferred configuration and send it to a dealer, but that’s not the same thing.
2. It’s hilarious you think no models have been produced just because the website lacks information. GM sucks at getting out information on time and many Build and Prices aren’t even posted by the time production begins.
3. I’m looking at an order for a Z71 right now in Order Workbench that states it’s been produced since 2/22, a full day before this article was posted. So…yeah. You and the writer of this article both look stupid.
My 2024 traverse rs2 is being built this week. I have an order sheet too and it says 22” black gloss wheels. It is the new gen. It’s isn’t 23 limited repackaged saying 2024. Rs didn’t come w 22 in wheels. Y’all wrong

Your order says 8 speed transmission which is Traverse 2024 (redesigned gen-3) not Traverse limited (old body style).
I’ve been to 3 dealerships in the Chicago area in the last 5 days… None of them can or will take an order for it yet. :/
Your dealer can place an order with GM (1100 status), but GM will not pick up the order until the dealer has an allocation (2000 status).
if the 2024 Chevy Traverse is to be built and delivery to start soon after, how come the company has not even released MPG information and other pertinent / detailed information on Chevy website for consumer review and decision-making?
JB:
Putting my VIN in Chevy.com parts search shows the following:
2024 Traverse
4 – Door Sport Utility, Z71, 2.5L L4 GAS
Not sure what to tell you about Autozone, but the filters and bulbs are all listed now, so I guess if I need parts for my vehicle that is still sitting in a Lansing shipping yard, I’ll buy them direct from Chevy.
And I’ve bought multiple vehicles from my salesman, so he’s not really incentivized to piss me off.
Enjoy your evening
Well…good luck to you then. Given you said it was gona ship 5 days ago let us know when you get it…still find it interesting that your dealer found a way to order one when my dealer says you can’t order them nor can you build one at chevy.com yet.
Thank goodness that shut down was short lived but I am glad to see other next gen orders have been accepted and/or possibly already being built. Just got notification from my dealer Friday that my 2LT was accepted for production so fingers crossed I see it before summer!
Called my dealer today and asked if there was any notification on my 24 Z71 yet.
I was the first to place a order at this dealership early January . To my surprise he told me that production has not begun yet. Now what was delivery in April has turned into June. I was very disappointed after $1000.00 nonrefundable deposit. He offered a Limited LS that he had on the lot with $3000.00 discount now if I wanted to cancel the order. This is another bait and switch Bull SXXX. GM if you can not deliver till June this should be a 2025 not a 24. I will wait and see what happens, probably should have gone with my second choice Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy that are now on dealerships lots.
They most certainly have started production on them. They had 2 weeks off toward the end of January for change over. I work at the factory and we have not built anything since February 5th but the new generation Traverse and a handful of test GMC Acadia’s. Roughly 400-500 of the gen3 Traverse a day the last few weeks and ramping up.
Nick,
thank you for your feed back on this it is just so disappointing when the dealer screws with you and they have all the facts.
I am just going to sit back and see what happens.
Yeah, I like they system Tesla has better to be honest, cutting out the dealerships as the middle man. I have had nothing but bad experiences with dealerships before in the past as well. I believe starting next week we should be building 650 a day. Hopefully you get some good news soon but your dealership is for sure lying to you about them not being made yet, we’ve put a few thousand off the line since February 5th until now.
Thanks Nick. Good to hear first hand info. Update from my dealer today via VINview was that my Z71 is “on hold” at the Lansing Delta VDC Plant Yard but eagerly awaiting some movement. Curious if you know whether they are waiting for transport options, QA, or something else.
Amazing that the dealers don’t even know what’s going on. Sorry you are dealing with that, Nexus.
I’ve heard rumblings that they are just waiting on EPA approval to go through for fuel economy before they are allowed to sell them.
Thanks. That makes sense given we have seen zero mpg data yet.
My 24 rs traverse has been built but as of yesterday it’s 3800 delayed it the new body style I ordered loaded up I’m sure missing parts or something
Constraints Already???
For those who have an order number, you can go to Chevrolet.com to check the status. Click on the chat bubble in the bottom right corner and start a conversation. Type in ‘order status’ and then put in your ‘order number’. The bot will give you the status of your car. My REDESIGNED 2024 Traverse has been produced and is awaiting shipment to the dealer.
Just drove past an entire parking lot with many hundreds of new traverses. Parking lot is north of i-69 between belsay in center road. I have a few pictures of anyone’s interested. Unable to upload them here.
Chad,
please post link if you post pictures.
I want to rub them in my salesmen’s face.
Chad – thanks for posting that pic on Reddit (assuming it was you!)
It was
It doesn’t matter if they have them built or not, don’t matter if you “have one on order” or not. The fact is they are NOT available for sale yet. All the other 24’s are out, in fact, they are working on 25’s already. Am I the only one that thinks this is suspect?? To me, it’s a huge red flag! I was initially excited about the Traverse getting the Z71 package; however, you won’t see me buying one. This huge delay with no real explanation of it says there is something wrong with them.
LB,
you may be right on that this is a little suspicious that none have yet to be anywhere yet.
I know a lot of people have orders in production but cannot find anyone delivered yet.
I ordered mine Z71 first week of January and my dealer keeps saying that they have not picked up my order yet. But he keeps trying to sell me a 24 Limited that they have 3 on the lot and he is now up to $5000.00 off the MSRP.
I have decided to just wait and see.
You are right about 1 thing the new body style should be 25 instead of 24s .
If I do get mine half of 24 will already be gone.
I hope I didn’t order a bad unproven experiment.
