2024 Chevrolet Traverse - Up Close

2024 Chevrolet Traverse Has Family Safety in Mind, More Tech, Adds Z71 Off-Road Capability

Three-row midsize SUV builds on signature versatility and active safety features, with best-in-class 17.7-inch-diagonal touchscreen, available Super Cruise¹ driver assistance technology and more

DETROIT – Redesigned from the ground up, the all-new 2024 Chevrolet Traverse strengthens Chevy’s position in the midsize SUV segment. Offering bold design with more truck-like proportions, key safety features with families in mind, combined with greater horsepower and torque from an all-new engine. The new Traverse is positioned to lead in its highly competitive segment and grow its customer base thanks to the new off-road capable Z71 model.

“Our new Traverse is designed and engineered to act and look more like an SUV,” said Scott Bell, vice president, Chevrolet. “Led by the all-new Z71, the 2024 Traverse builds on the success of its predecessor and will undoubtedly enable us to be in more customer driveways.”

Four distinct trims — LS, LT, Z71 and RS — offer unique design and greater content choices, with all-new and enhanced safety features and technologies across the lineup.

All models are powered by an all-new 2.5L turbocharged engine that delivers a GM-estimated 315 horsepower and GM-estimated 317 lb-ft of torque, delivering more power than the previous models, including a 19% increase in torque. It is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and available all-wheel drive — including an off-road-capable twin-clutch AWD system unique to the Z71. When properly equipped, the new Traverse has a max trailering rating of up to 5,000 pounds (2,268 kg).⁹

All-new Traverse Z71

The Traverse Z71 answers the call of experience-seeking adventurers who are bringing the family and their gear along for the journey, with a roster of off-road-capable features included as standard:

More than 1-inch increased ground clearance coupled with increased track width for added stability, handling and capability
All-terrain tires bring increased capability coupled with 18-inch wheels designed exclusively for Z71
Unique front fascia purposely designed for improved approach angle, with an aluminum skid plate and signature Z71 red tow hooks
Twin-clutch AWD system designed to optimize traction and handling in off-road driving conditions
Unique dampers with hydraulic rebound control to improve off-road-capability
Specific Terrain Mode within the driver-selectable drive modes
Hill Descent Control
Standard trailering package

More standard safety and driver assistance features than ever

When it comes to safety and driver assistance technologies, the 2024 Traverse delivers with meaningful features, starting with standard Chevy Safety Assist² — a suite of safety features and driver assistance technologies that includes:

Automatic Emergency Braking
Forward Collision Alert
Following Distance Indicator
Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
IntelliBeam^® High Beam Assist
Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking¹⁰

Additional standard safety and driver assistance² features include:

Rear Park Assist
Safety Alert Seat
HD Rear Vision Camera
Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert
Rear Cross Traffic Braking
Blind Zone Steering Assist
Adaptive Cruise Control

Traffic Sign Recognition
Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking
Side Bicyclist Alert

All Traverse trims come with an updated Buckle to Drive feature that requires the front-seat passenger, as well as the driver to be buckled before driving, and Teen Driver² via the MyChevy app. Rear Seat Belt Reminder is also new, which alerts the driver if second or third row passengers have taken off their seat belt. According to NHTSA, in 2021, 26,325 passenger vehicle occupants were killed, and about 50% of those killed were not buckled (based on known seat belt use). Features like Buckle to Drive and Rear Seat Belt Reminder in the Traverse are strong reminders for drivers and their passengers to buckle every time they are in the vehicle.

Available features include Super Cruise¹hands-free driver assistance technology, including trailering and automatic lane change capabilities, Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist² and Driver Attention Assist².

Bold, rugged design

Framed by an all-new, more purposeful silhouette, the styling of the redesigned Traverse balances crossover- and truck-inspired design elements to give the vehicle a rugged, ready-for-anything presence.

A planted stance, with wheels pushed to the corners and strong-appearing shoulders, add to the commanding presence.

“The bold exterior of the all-new Traverse helps redefine its role and capability for customers,” said Phil Zak, executive design director, Global Chevrolet. “It is as versatile as ever, but with an increased focus on capability that reflects the spirit of its owners.”

Each trim has its own personality, achieved with unique accents and additional details including:

Midnight/Sport Edition available on LS and LT
All-new front and rear lighting, including standard LEDs
Walk-up lighting animation that greets owners as they approach their vehicle (with an enabled key) on RS

Available AutoSense Liftgate, a first for Traverse
New panoramic dual-glass sunroof with power sunshade is available on LT, Z71 and standard on RS

The RS trim is elevated with premium features and design elements that infuse it with a sporty demeanor, including:

RS interior and exterior badging
All-new 22-inch high-gloss black aluminum wheels
Unique suspension tuning for sportier ride-and-handling characteristics
Blackout accents on the grille, roof rails and moldings
Distinctive interior cues including a three-spoke, flat-bottom steering wheel, headrest detailing and a Jet Black theme with red accents
Standard second row one-touch power-folding seats to improve access for third row occupants

Airy, tech-forward passenger space

The new Traverse’s interior is all about the driver experience. It picks up the technology-forward ethos of other recently introduced Chevrolet models, with clean, sweeping lines and a lower beltline that conveys a more spacious feel. The instrument panel is also lower than the previous model, which enhances outward visibility and the feeling of airiness.

Display screens are the centerpiece of the cabin, starting with the best-in-class standard 17.7-inch-diagonal color touchscreen³. It’s more than two times larger than the largest available screen in the previous model and is the gateway to the Traverse’s connectivity. Wireless phone charging⁵ and Wi-Fi Hotspot⁴ are also available, and six USB ports⁶ are standard.

The Traverse is connected by OnStar^®11 to provide customers with a variety of available safety, entertainment, convenience and driver experience features, including 24/7 access to live OnStar advisors, on-demand vehicle diagnostics¹¹, HD streaming, in-vehicle apps¹¹, and more.

Additional interior details include:

Best-in-class max cargo capacity of 98 cubic-feet (2,763 liters)⁸
Larger, 11-inch-diagonal configurable driver information center
A column-mounted electronic transmission shifter that opens up more storage and useable space between the driver and front passenger

Available heated front and second-row outboard seats
