2024 Chevy Traverse RS -- Does this NEW Family Hauler DRIVE as Good as it Looks??

Love the new Traverse. Great styling, great standard power, great standard tech, and an overall phenomenal family hauler. Definitely a top class pick.

[@brucekalter4206]

If you want a more luxurious interior, not only could you go for the GMC Acadia as you mentioned, but also the upcoming Buick Enclave, which is also based on the same platform.

[@rockerdriver]

Hopefully both of them will have better sound deadening. They should since they’re leaning towards the luxury side.

[@GaryGraf]

I prefer the traverse interior

[@yamaha642]

However, Some of the competition has a much more luxurious interior and more options included at a quite a bit lower price than the Traverse and especially what the Acadia and Enclave will cost.

[@al151]

Palisade Calligraphy has the best in class luxurious interior and tech.

[@G-Rated]

@@al151 It doesn’t, Buick Enclave has better technology and blows the Hyundai out of the water with their latest very cohesive styling from the wildcat concept. Enclave has a classier more upscale interior design. Palisade looks like an old Korean rendition of a Cadillac XT6 rendering imo.

[@AHungryHunky]

Everyone is upset the 3.6 is gone, but all i can find online about it are horror stories. When I search for reviews for the 2.0l Turbo base engine they offered alongside the 3.6 i cant find anything. No one complaining about a lack of power, no reliability complaints which is why I am buying a low milage used 2.0l turbo Moral of the day there is that a turbo might be more complex than a N/A engine, but cylinder deactivation is more complex than a turbo lol.

[@davelindgren5245]

Congrats on hitting 500K subscribers. You guys do a great job. I'm worried about it being so late. I wonder if it is worth to wait to the 2025 to get all the little things fixed that they didn't have time to fix.

[@CarConfections]

Thanks! It probably won't be all that long until the introduce the 2025 models since this has gotten a late launch

[@randygarrison3679]

Car confections when doing your videos on cargo areas or trunks, can you add how many suitcases can be stored in these areas. I travel by vehicle a lot and suitcase storage is very important

[@whiz3528]

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 lose power as they get more miles on them, there is no substitute for cubic inches, horsepower and torque. I have built engines and turbo'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.

[@TheYashpalsingh]

What's the point of buying a turbo engine if you are not gaining MPG compared to the naturally aspirated V6.

[@LyionsMountain]

Around town power delivery is much better with the tq the 4 cylinder makes down low

[@thedermac]

Emissions, it's all about emissions

[@ecastaneda51]

Emissions

[@yamaha642]

It's less expensive to build.

[@G-Rated]

There are several reasons. Did you not hear the power output? This engine makes more power than the V6 without a fuel economy decrease too.

[@johnmcmanus123]

maybe you can answer this question. with the super cruise I herd after 3 years you have to pay for it monthly to use it and its features

[@CarConfections]

That is correct. It's a package through OnStar that keeps the maps up to date. I believe it's about $25 a month for the features it includes.

[@jamesmyers9285]

The longevity of a naturally aspirated V-6 is far more attractive to me than a 4-cylinder turbo.

[@acirinelli]

I recently got my new Traverse. Less than 100 mi on it and one window stopped working and the outside temp is stuck at 77 degrees all the time... what's going to break next...

[@Terry-p7t]

If I'm forced to get a 4 cylinder turbo, I would trust a Toyota turbo 4 cylinder engine more.

[@GoodLuck_MyWay]

4:35 0-60 7seconds??

[@kevionakintan4119]

Is under 7 seconds.

[@jerryp4916]

Great video team you guys are awesome , question here in Canada we only get the AWD version however we have the ability to switch off AWD if switched off does that mean the ratings of fuel economy would be 20city 27 highway and 23 combined apply?? When switched off

[@dschmidt1140]

It should be, because you're only supplying power to 2 wheels therefore being (slightly) more efficient.

[@CarConfections]

Thank you! In that case, it probably would be close to the FWD fuel economy. The only difference would be the extra weight vs the FWD-only version

[@al151]

I had chance to either wait for this suv or buy something else. Ended up with a 24 Palisade Calligraphy. Very happy with the purchase. The luxury and tech is above anything in its class. What i don’t understand is why Chevy is not adding features like second row sunshades. They are a must for families with babies and kids in the second row.

[@G-Rated]

Buying a new Hyundai is like playing Russian roulette. Some people want fake luxury for less money so they’ll go the S. Korean route. But second row sunshades have NEVER been a “MUST” for families unless your kid is a Disney star. I’ve never taken my nieces or nephews on a trip and they’ve asked me where the sunshades were. This is also because tinting in the rear comes on these vehicles now from the factory. In my experience kids will ask me how to adjust their seats, to adjust the A/C for them, maybe change the ambient lighting color, and play their favorite songs. Traverse is going to be more reliable with fewer issues than a Palisade Calligraphy.

[@al151]

@@G-Ratedif you don’t have it then it becomes obsolete i get it. Once you update your vehicle with a second row shade you will see what i am talking about. Second row shades are becoming a mainstream option and no your kids don’t need to be Disney princes or princess to enjoy them. Reliability wise, Chevy versus South Korea with almost double the warranty is no brainer. South Korea has been taking notes from Japan when it comes to reliability. I wouldn’t worry about it.

[@G-Rated]

@@al151 warranty doesn’t have anything to do with reliability. Hyundai’s warranty is a marketing scheme that apparently works on Americans. As you can see see from their list of recent recalls and issues, Hyundai Motors is nowhere near as reliable as *gm.*

[@10heads7dragons]

[@ecastaneda51]

Really wanted to get this with the z71 package until i found out they got rid of the v6. Got a honda pilot trailsport instead.

[@G-Rated]

Pilot interior does not compare and neither does the value proposition. The 3.5 sounds as anemic as it feels at 280 hp 262 lb.ft. of torque in comparison to how this 2.5T will feel on the road.

[@AmcoAutoGlass]

lucky they got rid of the v6 it was a timebomb on wheel do some research on that gm v6. this one fixed all the issues from the 2.7l version in their trucks and should be reliable. 100% 10x more reliable then that shitty v6 the had

[@G-Rated]

@@AmcoAutoGlass More reliable, more powerful, and most importantly mated to the new 8-speed automatic. That old 6-speed just wasn’t enough gears and should’ve been much smoother.

[@johnmcmanus123]

WHat do you think about the handling compared to the Explorer st

[@magic17fan4life]

Engine is trash, sounds horrible. Took it for a test drive yesterday and was ready to buy an RS until I drove it. My wife even noticed the same sluggish engine power. It was Deal breaker. The drive feels like it struggles to speed up to pass cars. Feels like it strains to accelerates. The turbo doesn’t really feel like it helps move it enough considering it’s a large heavy family vehicle. I’d rather go get a v6 or v8. I can only imagine when load up my family and luggage and try going up a mountain. I don’t think I will make it up without sounding like engine is going to blow up. The RS trim is beautiful and a great deal of technology there but the engine , damn Chevy messed that up. No other option for 2024.

[@linkfloyd4908]

[@Yankees121205]

No hybrid option with 4 banger that will likely take a beating in this huge SUV, what a miss with Chevy. The style is a home run, I'm in the market and this checks every box EXCEPT fuel economy and power. Take a page from FORD and offer a powerboost type engine that can tow and provide fuel economy, I'm so disappointed, going to hold out now until I find something that checks all those boxes. I'm coming from a 15 year old rock-solid Highlander Hybrid still getting 26MPG with 280HP, why would I get rid of that for this??

[@danielramsey1959]

[@AHungryHunky]

​@@G-RatedYeah I am a little confused myself. At what point looking at the Bowtie did anyone think Chevy was luxery. It's big, sure, but Chevy is literally the bottom rung on the GM ladder.

[@G-Rated]

@@AHungryHunky Yeah it’s gotten to a point where it makes you giggle. *gm* is clearly held to a higher standard than everyone else when a sub $60k Chevrolet’s 4-cylinder is critiqued for not being luxurious enough. What family drives around town listening to their 4-cylinder engine’s noises instead of their 10-speaker Bose audio system? It’s just so silly.

[@rockerdriver]

I don’t want to keep sounding like a broken record where I’m always comparing my 23 Pilot,but here I go anyway. My Pilot with a naturally aspirated V6 and AWD is rated at 19/25 as opposed to this one with AWD and rated at 19/24 with a turbocharged 4 cylinder. You also say it’s noisy when accelerating. With my Pilot of course the noise levels go up when you’re accelerating but it has a nice husky tone like that of a V8. Also it sounds the same from the outside so there’s nothing being pumped through the speakers. Yes the interior is much more conservative. The only nine inch screen is the worst thing about it and unfortunately the 25 has not corrected it. Still though I’ll keep my Pilot.

[@frankiexv4533]

This is larger and heavier than the pilot.

bigger wheels actually make the ride more comfortable because it soaks up bumps more sooooo not sure where you guys got that smaller wheels make the ride more comfortable analogy from other than that good video

[@georgesyriaque3504]

False. With all else being the same (suspension dynamics), larger wheels (they’re talking about the rim size, btw) on the same vehicle typically mount on lower profile tires (less tire), which most almost always translates to a bumpier/less cushioned ride.

[@majinbuu19831]

@@georgesyriaque3504 also btw im not talking about those big huge ghetto rims that ghetto gangsters be driving around on size 27 and 30s and whatnot I'm not talking about those big stupid-looking tires I'm talking about these particular tires that be on vehicles like the Tahoes the Suburbans the Lincoln Navigators Vehicles like those I'm talking about those huge 22 inch like tires I'm not talking about the rim size because if there's a very low tire profile then yes it's going to be a bumpy uncomfortable that's common sense I'm not talking about that I'm talking about tires that are nice thick and cushion and good quality the bigger they are the more comfortable the ride for example an SUV that comes standard with 20-in wheels and then this very Chevrolet Traverse with the 22 inch wheels the Chevy Traverse will have a more comfortable ride than the vehicle was the 20-in wheels of course if both of them have a nice thickness with the tires not those low profile ones so thanks for the comment but I know what I'm talking about

[@AmcoAutoGlass]

wrong. bigger side walls not bigger tires. the traverse z71 will soak up way more bumps then the rough riding rs

[@AHungryHunky]

A smaller wheel with the same size tire will have more tire sidewall to flex and cushion impacts. It's one of the things I didn't like about my previous vehicle, it was optioned with the "premium" larger wheels, so it had less sidewall. Looked nice, but living in PA I felt every pothole and each one felt like it broke something. My vehicle before it had 15 inch wheels and 31 inch tires and despite being a 20 year old pickup with leaf spring suspension it just ate potholes.
