G.M. has an all-new three-row SUV for the 2024 model year, the redesigned Traverse. No longer content to be a plainclothes SUV, the Traverse this year has impressive new sheet metal, giving the Tahoe a run for its money. Chevy also has a savings Easter-egg in store, the 2024 Traverse “Limited” — the old 2023 Traverse model being sold brand-new at a lower price. You could get an amazing price a brand new car.
The new Traverse LS is the entry-level model, starting at $37,600 msrp. It has a 2.5L turbo motor, eight speed automatic, seating for eight, side bicyclist alert (due to the vehicle’s size), and a host of other safety features that include HD rear vision camera, lane change alert, and rear cross traffic alert. This base motor is no slouch, with 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque, and is in fact offered on all trims of the Traverse. Power windows, locks, mirrors, infotainment system with Android Auto/Apple Carplay, and so forth, are all standard.
The Traverse LT, starting at $40,000 msrp, has 7 passenger seating due to second row smart slide seats, as well as roof rails, a power driver seat, wireless phone charging, a power liftgate, and a differentiated front grille from the LS.
The Traverse Z71 is where the Traverse gets interesting, starting at $46,400 msrp. It has a Terrain mode, an advanced twin clutch all wheel drive system, off road suspension, skid plates, hill descent control, tow hooks, Z71 badging, 18 inch black machined-face wheels with all terrain tires, and trailering equipment. Nearly the same size as the Tahoe, the unibody Traverse Z71 is likely up to all of the off-road challenges from today’s average consumer, without the truck-like handling that comes with the Tahoe’s body-on-frame construction.
The top-of-the-line Traverse is intended for the street and not the mountain, however, and it is the $54,200 msrp Traverse RS. It includes RS blacked out grille and badging, a flat-bottomed steering wheel and red interior decor, black leather seats with red accents, power folding second and third row seats, 22 inch high gloss black wheels, uplevel suspension, a panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, and Bose audio system. For all that you get, the Traverse RS is a crazy cheap value.
Chevrolet doesn’t make much fuss about its secret model, the Traverse Limited, but it does exist per Motor Trend. Pricing isn’t even listed on Chevy’s website in its own right, but the Traverse Limited is listed under Chevrolet’s deals and offers section. Right now, Chevy is offering the Traverse Limited front-wheel drive LT at great lease rates.
