OSHAWA, Ont. (Monday, July 17, 2023) – Redesigned from the ground up, the new 2024 Chevrolet Traverse strengthens Chevrolet’s position in the midsize-SUV segment. Offering bold design with more SUV-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 succeed 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 new Z71, the 2024 Traverse builds on the success of its predecessor and will undoubtedly enable us to be in more customer driveways.”
Three distinct trims — LT, Z71 and RS — offer unique design and greater content choices, with new and enhanced safety features for the first time on Traverse 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 all-wheel drive is standard and the Z71 features an off-road-capable twin-clutch AWD system. When properly equipped on LT and above, the new Traverse has a max trailering rating of up to 5,000 pounds (2,268 kg).11

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 MyChevrolet app. Rear Seat Belt Reminder is also new, which alerts the driver if second or third row passengers have taken off their seat belt. 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 Cruise1 hands-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 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 trim and accents and additional details such as:
The RS trim is elevated with premium features and design elements that infuse it with a sporty demeanor, including:
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.

Display screens are the centerpiece of the cabin, starting with the standard 17.7-inch-diagonal infotainment3 screen. 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 charging7 and Wi-Fi Hotspot6 are also available, and six USB ports8 are standard.
