GM is gearing up to launch several next-generation full-size crossover models, including the next-gen Chevy Traverse, next-gen GMC Acadia, and next-gen Buick Enclave. Now, GM Authority has learned the order in which GM will launch these three new crossovers.
According to sources familiar with the matter, GM will launch the next-generation Chevy Traverse first among the three nameplates mentioned, followed by the next-gen GMC Acadia. GM will launch the next-gen Buick Enclave as the last of three models mentioned.
As a reminder, all three models will be produced at the GM Lansing Delta Township plant in Michigan, with production of the GMC Acadia set to be moved to the Lansing Delta Township plant from the GM Spring Hill plant in Tennessee where the crossover is currently produced.
GM President Mark Reuss confirmed that GM was working on the next-gen Chevy Traverse during the recent GM Investor Day event held in November. The current-generation Traverse was launched for 2018. The next-gen model will continue to ride on the GM C1 platform, the same underpinnings as the current model.
Meanwhile, the next-gen GMC Acadia is set to grow in size in terms of exterior dimensions, returning the nameplate to its original full-size roots. For those readers who may be unaware, the GMC Acadia originally launched in 2007 as a full-size model, but shrunk an entire segment to a mid-size model with the launch of the current second-generation. However, GM President Reuss confirmed during the recent GM Investor Day event that the next-gen Acadia will indeed grow with regard to exterior dimensions. Additionally, the upcoming next-gen model will ride on a modified version of the GM C1 platform, and will feature GM Super Cruise as well.
Finally, GM President Reuss also revealed during the Investor Day event that the next-gen Buick Enclave will debut during the 2024 calendar year, showing off Buick’s latest design language and badging.

These are one of a few products they haven’t messed up. Let’s hope they do it right.
I totally agree with you. I bought my wife a 2021 Redline edition a year ago for $49K out the door. I wanted a Tahoe RST but when I saw the MSRP price tag of $82K, I said H#LL NO!! For the little cargo space you gain with the Tahoe, it isn’t worth the $33k price increase.
This Traverse rides and drives amazing. I took it on a 4 hour drive to Minneapolis, MN and achieved 26 mpgs going 75 mph. We are pleased with our purchase.
My mother has the 2018 Enclave and loves it at well
W.T.F.
This is a complete reversal from everything that had been announced earlier. The Acadia was supposed to be the newest introductory refresh for the lineup in 2023 by going back to its roots, with the Traverse and Enclave to follow in 2024.
As a 2014 Acadia owner who has been watching the news cycle, waiting for the upsizing (right-sizing), this is a major disappointment.
Yes, Acadia is going large again. We leased a Limited and really liked it.
Just bought a 2023 Chevy Traverse LT3 and I must say I really like it it’s comfortable and practical. It would been nice if super cruise had been added as a option for the 23 but mine does have adaptive cruise control which does work very well. I had a 21 Buick Enclave Avenier and I absolutely hated the gear shifter I love the normal standard gear shifter in the Traverse if they change it in the next model hopefully it’s not the one in the 21 enclave or in some of the Cadillac models. I liked the XT6 but the gear shifter made me pass.
Will the Super Cruise on the new Traverse, Acadia and Enclave be the version with the 400,000 miles and the automatic passing feature?
That will depend on if they run on Global B architecture or not. Only vehicles on Global B currently offer automatic passing and the additional 200k miles of network.
I Wonder How Long (Like Pick-Up Trucks) It Will Take Before The Exodus From Extreme Pricing Of Tahoes…Suburbans…Yukons…To Traverses…Acadias..Enclaves…Before Prices Increases Monthly For These Less Expensive Alternatives???
Agree with this nonsense with overly complicated gear shifters. Took my 2021 Sierra AT4 to dealer and they gave me a Cadillac SUV that I had to go back and ask how to operate the thing! Tech for the sake of tech. I will never buy a vehicle with one of these.
i love my acadia. do not need the increased size of traverse. Bummer
For the Acadia, GM should do a midsize “Acadia” and full size “Acadia XL”.
I loved my 17 Acadia Denali and have owned 22 Acadia Denali a year now. Both AWD top of line. The 17 smelled like leather when you got in, the 22 reeks of vinyl. Makes me wonder what “leather appointed” actually infers. The auto stop and especially the push button gear select on the 22 are annoying and obnoxious and major negatives, especially for down shifting in hilly and mountain terrain here in CA. I do however like both my smaller versions for the more responsive and sportier handling and cabin height compared to the Traverse which I feel more as like driving a van. I could care less about ground clearance or third row room or towing but that’s just my preferences. I much prefer the second generation size.
I own a 2009 Chevy traverse and love it have been looking at the new ones but the price is to high will keep my 2009
Great news on the larger GMC Acadia. I have a 2015 Acadia with well over 100k miles. Took recent 2k and 3k road trips. Checked oil level on 3.6 V6 before and after each trip. Level did not budge. Great engine. Let’s hope it is the only engine for all 3 LAMDA crossovers. Don’t need a 2.0T or a 2.7T. This engine is perfect (well can be a little gruff at times on hard acceleration). Turbo engines nothing but trouble.
I own a sienna hybrid . I assume first things to add for traverse is hybrid/Plugin with eawd and ev powertrains.
