2024 Chevrolet Traverse

The 2024 Chevrolet Traverse represents a complete overhaul (re-engineering and redesign) of the three-row large crossover, and marks the first model year for the Traverse nameplate’s third generation.

Model Line

The 2024 Chevy Taverse offers four trim levels:

The Premier and High Country trims have been dropped, though we still expect a third-gen Chevy Traverse Premier to launch in the near future.

Exterior

The 2024 Chevy Traverse featuring the Bow Tie brand’s “High Brow” design language with a tough, truck-inspired front fascia illuminating the road ahead with a dual-tier headlight configuration. The new design elements and body panel sculpturing create what GM describes as “a rugged, ready-for-anything presence.”

All-new front and rear lighting include LEDs as standard. On the RS trim, walk-up lighting animation greets owners as they approach the vehicle.

Among new exterior aesthetic features are a more aggressive, planted stance, forward-leaning C-pillars, 22-inch gloss black wheels for the range-topping RS trim, and, at the rear, bright chrome quad exhaust tips equipped as standard on the true dual-exhaust system.

The RS also comes with blackout accents on the grille, roof rails, and moldings.

Interior

The 2024 Chevy Traverse features a fully overhauled cabin with a “best-in-class” 17.7-inch diagonal color infotainment touchscreen equipped as standard across all trim levels. The cockpit sports a redesigned steering wheel while the interior overall gets more space, improved ergonomics, new colorways, and higher-quality materials.

The crossover offers seating for seven or eight passengers depending on trim level and a best-in-class 98 cubic feet of cargo space with all rear seating rows folded down.

Distinctive interior cues for the RS include a three-spoke, flat-bottom steering wheel, headrest detailing, and a Jet Black with red accents interior colorway.

The RS comes standard with second row one-touch power-folding seats to improve access for third row occupants.

In-Vehicle Tech

Standard spec includes an 17.7-inch diagonal color infotainment touchscreen featuring a volume rotary knob, and an 11-inch diagonal configurable driver information center.

A selection of knobs and hard buttons are located below for controlling the HVAC system.

The Traverse offers wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto compatibility along with available Google built-in, plus six USB ports. A wireless phone charging pad and Wi-Fi Hotspot are available.

Available GM Super Cruise now joins the technology list for the 2024 Chevy Traverse.

A new panoramic dual-glass sunroof with power sunshade is available on LT and Z71 trims and standard on the RS trim.

Also new is an AutoSense Liftgate that recognizes a person’s presence and opens up automatically.

Active Safety Tech

The third-generation crossover is also equipped as standard with the Chevy Safety Assist package with the following included content:

The 2024 Traverse also gets Rear Park Assist and a range of other safety technologies and features. GM includes an updated version of its Buckle to Drive feature as standard on all trim levels, which prevents the vehicle from driving unless the front passenger is buckled in. The crossover also gets Rear Seat Belt Reminder for the second and third seating rows as a new feature for the 2024 model year.

Changes, Updates, New Features

This is the first year of the new, third-generation crossover.

Powertrain

Motivation for the 2024 Chevy Traverse is sourced from a single powertrain choice, the turbocharged 2.5L I4 LK0 gasoline engine developing 315 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque, a 19 percent boost in torque compared to the outgoing 3.6L V6 LFY engine.

2024 Chevrolet Traverse Powertrain
Engine	Aspiration	Transmission	Power (hp / kW @ RPM)	Torque (lb-ft / Nm @ RPM)	Axle Ratio
2.5L LK0 I-4	Turbocharged	8-Speed Auto	315/235 @ TBD	317/430 @ TBD	TBD

The maximum trailering rating for the new Traverse is 5,000 pounds or 2,268 kilograms, same as with the previous generation.

An eight-speed automatic transmission connects this engine to the crossover’s drivetrain rather than the previously expected GM nine-speed automatic transmission.

Chassis & Suspension

Front-wheel-drive is standard on the 2024 Chevy Traverse and all-wheel-drive is available as an option, with Chevy offering a Z71-exclusive “off-road-capable” twin-clutch AWD system. For 2024 the Z71 trim is offered for the first time ever on Traverse.

The off-road Z71 trim features more than one inch of increased ground clearance plus increased track width for added stability, handling, and capability. All-terrain tires come standard, wrapping 18-inch wheels designed exclusively for the Z71.

The Z71 also comes with a specific Terrain Mode within the driver-selectable drive modes, Hill Descent Control, and a standard trailering package.

The sporty RS comes standard with all-new 22-inch high-gloss black aluminum wheels and unique suspension tuning for sportier ride-and-handling characteristics.

Platform

The 2024 Chevy Traverse is supported by the long-wheelbase variant of the GM C1 platform. The platform has received several upgrades, including the addition of the Global B digital architecture.
