2024 Chevy Traverse | Review & Road Test

[@gorillaplays8926]

I STILL DRIVE A 2011 TRAVERSE AND I LOVE IT.THE STEERTING IS GREAT EVERYWHERE I DRIVE.

[@callen0892]

Wish these review channels would actually review an “entry level” model instead of the one with literally all the bells and whistles for $60,000…

Yep, most of us can’t afford the top model.

Man, the v6 in the older traverse was a tank. Zero issues in my wife's 2015. Super smooth power delivery.

[@oscardelarosa8217]

At least he was honest about the engine not sounding good and seeming out of place.

[@gorillaplays8926]

Then he will never buy one if he does not likes the engine

[@jflow08]

​@@gorillaplays8926 right. It's the most important part of the car

[@JustAddingMy2Cents]

I was going to ask what ppl mean by the engine sound. Is that related to performance? Is it too loud? I thought quieter engines are good? Honest questions. Not looking to make any points for or against.

[@christopher7952]

I don't care what the engine sound is,as long as it drives ok

[@kenna.9368]

I love how the infotainment screen is not sticking up high like a laptop.

[@keith7392]

This right here

[@captainron9143]

Like how this dude somewhat speaks his peace--mainly for the V6

[@SergioSanchez-zd9de]

Trash ass engines lol

[@americaelibertas2453]

I don't know what it is with people throwing such a big fit because a car's engine doesn't happen to sound exactly like a traditional V6 or V8. You have to remember that a turbocharged four-cylinder is always going to sound different compared to a traditional, naturally aspirated engine. Also, is it really necessary to include such a subjective opinion in an objective car review, I mean what may sound refined to one person's ears may sound horrible in another. Personally, i think the new Traverse looks so much better compared to the previous generation's generic design, and the interior is light years ahead in terms of technology, fit and finish, and design.

[@mark8684]

It’s because a 60 degree V6 cylinder engine is inherently smoother running and more refined than an inline 4 cylinder engine by design. It’s also quieter. Since inline 4-cylinder engines have historically been used in smaller, cheaper vehicles, the noise and behavior of 4-cylinder engines is associated with smaller, cheaper vehicles and therein lies the disconnect.

[@Billn1971]

If you're not a gear head...you don't understand. 🙄🙄

[@yardiemark]

the engine is perfectly fine , it’s basically a truck engine . and if people were to drive this, they would love it

[@germanjimenez5968]

I had a 2016 traverse with a v6 engine. It was reliable and comfortable. Now, I have a Silverado. It's time for me to switch back to the z71 traverse.

[@masterstealth7979]

Your Commentary is great! I have been looking into buying one late this year once political stuff settles and inflation begins to have cuts.

[@remiilatte]

Hi Brian! Glad to see you’re still reviewing cars :)

[@andresm3390]

@AAutoBuyersGuide misses you

[@ers1027]

Criticizing the Traverse for not having a hybrid powertrain is really bizarre in this context. There are fewer hybrids in this segment than not. Pointing to speculation that the next Palisade will MAYBE be a hybrid is a very weak argument.

[@williamguillIII]

Hyundai is currently building an EV manufacturing plant in Savannah, Ga., that I'm sure if need be, they could produce Hybrids as well. Especially if the whole EV market shits the bed!

[@G-Rated]

@@williamguillIII*gm* already has EV plants up and running and could easily build a Traverse EV and have it in production long before Hyundai even gets a hybrid powertrain in the Palisade and on the roads. Kelley Blue Book has historically been very crucial towards the general.

[@ers1027]

@@williamguillIII that’s not really the point. The criticism itself was strange. He knocks the Traverse for not being a hybrid, then he knocks it later on for not having a good V6 soundtrack anymore. The new powertrain is still more powerful and efficient than the outgoing model. Choose a narrative.

[@pinkisforpimps]

And it's not easy to make a hybrid for this segment

[@LetMeCook86]

Yeah enjoy your garbage 21 mpg, while the Grand Highlander gets 36 mpg. Enjoy your full ups!

[@LayLow83]

I have a 2023 LT with the 3.6 liter engine. It’s going to be hard for me to give that up. With my spouse in the vehicle and an about 150 lbs of luggage driving 70 to 75 mph I can successfully get 31 mph in FWD mode. I have done this quite a few times. Noting I only have just under 11,000 miles on this vehicle. I knew the 2.5 Liter with turbo was coming so I snapped up a 2023 model because I use it to tow my pontoon & fishing boat. I just had a better gut feeling with having a V6.

[@josephpanozzo4815]

I’d like to see a review with 8 people inside while towing a 5000 pound trailer with the 4 cylinder.

[@amesweb]

Less than optimal, but if that's what you do regularly, then this is not the vehicle for you. You cant tow 5000 pounds with 8 people. You would be over the GVWR of ~ 6160lbs. With 8 people averaging 120 pounds a person, you would have about 500 lbs of capacity which would limit you to about 2500lbs of tow at best.

[@captainron9143]

100% agree

[@williammoore27]

Chevrolet Traverse can be the world's #1 SUV in the America & all around the world!🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🛣🛣🛣🛣🛣🛣🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍

[@ATLOffroad]

Great review. I like the exterior design and the infotainment setup, but the rest of the interior looks a little bland. I had a 1st Gen GMC Acadia with the 3.6L V6 and it had quite a few problems. I hope this new Turbo4 is more reliable. If I’m in the market for a SUV I’ll check this one out while shopping.

[@lchanceiv]

I am just happy. It has wireless CarPlay.

[@princesethadu-krah9374]

It is the most beautiful crossover, however shy of the fuel economy...that is too bad.

[@shannonf77]

Just bought an all black RS today. :)

[@hunterj4603]

Can you tell us the transaction price and exchange rate? I think it would be very helpful for those who are interested in it.

[@JSFitness]

What is the seat comfort like, both front and middle row comfort specifically?

[@rexvaughn986]

Is there a hard button to turn on the front or 360 cameras for parking?

[@karley1548]

Yes front, rear, overhead and side.

[@ericgravelle8620]

Insurance companies just love to charge you more for the safety features. It’s up to you whether you actually use them. But their job is to pay for potential accidents that occur. These sensors are EXPENSIVE to fix. So it’ll make your rate go up actually.

[@noelsilva8887]

I love that Red RS and that the one I would get.

[@lucasworktv]

Great job Chevy ❤

Do the rear doors open 90 degrees?

[@lmalmeida]

Just bought one 2024 Chevrolet Traverse 2 weeks ago. It is a nice car but Lane Assist does not work. Media Center does no allow you to select music while driving or search music by Folder. Overall I regreat that I do not bough a VW Atlas which has more technology and space.

[@emo1978pr]

A new face…well done Brian.

[@diegomontoya8889]

I thought that if a car was released this late into the auto year (basically 2024.5), that they just put it as the next car year (2025)...? Car year normally begins in August or September of the previous year. Example, I bought my first generation KIA Soul Sport in August of 2009 as the initial 2010 model year.

[@kbb]

They revealed it last year so technically that made it a 2024 model year. But yes, other cars coming out around now are being slated for 2025 models.

[@omarturkostani680]

I have a 2016 dodge durango with V8 . I loooove the exhaust sound Thinking of replacing it before it gives me too many issues. Right now it has 126k KM Nissan pathfinder is too small inside and I think the dashboard material and leather is bad quality Honda pilot looks old and too expensive (64k $ in my country for full options) We do not have grand highlander and the normal highlander is too small and the engine is under powered for my taste Kia and hyundai are not reliable (the AC sucks and we have extreme weather) VW teramont (Atlas) is 4 cylinder and no dealership is near my house so maintenance could be very hard Mazda CX90 full option has captain chair and I want a bench in the second row I want a daily driven car and I am thinking of 3 options 1- Sell the durango and buy a new mid size SUV but the prices went to high and I don't see any car that is 100% in my eyes 2- Buy a used 2022-2023 Yukun AT4 or Denali at the same budget around 65k $ but it might be tiring to drive a big SUV daily 3- Keep the durango and maintain it and buy a small car around 26k$ like maza CX30 What should I go for?

[@jerryp4916]

Nice video but I think your MPG figures are incorrect as in this application, 2 wheel vs all wheel drive doesn’t make that big of difference on the efficiency. Usually 1MPG below all 3 categories making this traverse 19 city 26 highway not sure what the combine is another video mentioned these figures which made much more sense. The Z71 give 19 city 24 highway with AWD

So .. Micah is completely gone from KBB now I'm guessing?

[@NaniVitali]

He might be behind the scenes but he has his own review channel that’s doing pretty well

[@The_Notorious_CRG]

Micah moved up the KBB ladder. He's more the manager behind the scenes guy now, but as @KJVirander mentioned, Micah has a KZbin channel of his own that is very good.

[@kbb]

Micah is the boss of the video team, and as already stated, he still does the on-camera thing for his own personal channel. Thanks to popular demand, we are trying to think of fun ways to incorporate him back into our videos here and there. Stay tuned!

[@mc.charleymusic]

So there is no high country trim, but will there be a high country trim in the future

[@kbb]

They neither confirmed nor denied this possibility.

[@grizzlyman329]

Premier trim is coming in 2025

[@G-Rated]

Wrong! The GMC Acadia has gone upmarket and now it satisfies that premium luxury space. The Buick Enclave has also gone upmarket and it is now full on luxury, I think that’s why there’s no need for a High Country trim.

[@mc.charleymusic]

@G-Rated I think Buick just debut the complete redesign Enclave and GMC's new Acadia looks nice but I'm still waiting for the next Gen GMC Terrain.

[@NWI_Steel]

High country and premier are coming for 2025

[@CoolTatts]

Why do reviewers forget to mention Ford or Lincoln competitive offerings. I doubt anyone who is shopping for American brands wants a Hyundai POS.

[@kbb]

Noted. We'll make sure we include the other Americans when when call out competitors. Thanks for the comment.

[@DeadAir21]

That just shows how competitive this segment had become. While there’s nothing wrong with the explorer it just doesn’t have that wow factor it use to have. They’ll always sell high volume of the explorer due to having one of the largest dealership networks in the county.

[@demetrictucker1664]

Lincoln technically is Ford tho 🤔

[@TheUMIA]

Calling other brands crap while talking about Ford and Chevy is laughable. 😂

[@CoolTatts]

@@TheUMIA I speak from direct experience not assumed stereotypes. Hyundai and Kia are crap. VW was the 2nd worse and Honda was down there as well. Mazda about average for quality. I’ve owned multiples of all these. Ford has been the most reliable car I’ve owned and that’s also including multiple Toyotas which have also been very good as well.

[@whiz3528]

Turbo engines The majority of the driving public do not know enough about engines, turbos, cubic inches, torque and horsepower to care. Just like and air compressor, the higher the pressure you run it the shorter the life of the pump, a car engine is a pump. Turbo's pressurize the engine to falsely make it put out more power. The 4 cylinders loose power as they get more miles on them, there is no substitute for cubic inches, horsepower and torque. I have built engines and turb's boost the pressure into the small engines creating more power at the expense of the life of the engine. Your maintenance cost will exponentially increase with a turbo when it fails. Any economy you may have gotten from the turbo will be totally lost on the replacement cost of the turbo.

[@kevinbarry71]

Absolutely no mention of the transmission

[@allencline351]

Exactly! My POS 2018 has been in for service 4 times for the transmission and has it's 3rd torque converter in it with only 85K. Dealership quoted me $11K to just replace it at this point with GM offering 20% assistance.... woohoo, thanks for nothing GM!

[@ufo_vid9694]

Torque converter replaced at 60K and 80K on 2013 Acadia Denali. Currently replacing the transmission at 120K.

The only player that comes to mind that went up from 4 to 6 cylinders is the Mazda with the cx 90. The “tuning community “ already has these things installed with some goodies and on the dynos. I find this extremely interesting. A new inline 6 opens up a lot of possibilities.
