I'll go with the Mazda CX-90.
🥰👏👏
It's at the top of my list for sure. I prioritize tech and design over perceived "reliability". My mom bought an 09 traverse new in 09 and owned it until 2019. It gave her 0 issues. It was an lt model that was driven several times from Tennessee to Wisconsin on family trips, so speaking from my experience it wasn't problematic.
Doesn’t mean it’s the same quality lol don’t be stupid loll
There 8 recalls on Chevy Traverse a far cry from "zero issues".
@@aaric1703 Not sure where the confusion came in. I stated "it gave her 0 issues" as in the transmission didn't blow up, the engine worked fine, etc. Name a car manufacturer who hasn't had a recall I'll wait.
@@dtay8913 Infantile, unwarranted, sarcasm aside you stated "perceived reliability" to imply that Toyota's reliability is questionable. Given the fact that the current value of a 2009 Chevy Transverse is $5300, and a 2009 Toyota Highlander is $10,000, I beg to differ with your opinion.
@@aaric1703 I didn't expect you to that's not an issue. The reason I say "perceived" is because I can only speak from my own experiences. Nissans generally are perceived to be a more reliable car brand but from my experience, a 2007 rogue owned by my aunt had its engine go out after 5 years whereas the fusion we bought her as a replacement is still functioning fine. As far as resale value goes, I fail to see what that has to do with reliability. A Jeep Wrangler keeps its resale value but you don't typically find people saying that SUV is at the apex of reliability.
Chevy is killing it with their styling the last few years.
That's about it.
@@onlyrog5 Performance is pretty good too in most of them, but I do think they look a ton better than most other options in their segment too - It's good to have choices, some you keep long term and some you just lease or trade in when the warranty is up lol.
What? This thing is hideous
@@itshadouken You're in the minority with that opinion from what I see in the comments section 😂 I'm a Toyota fanboy and have three in my household but I can't even deny that this thing looks way cooler than a Highlander or pretty much anything else that competes with it... Even though I have no doubt this will be less reliable long term, but that's a separate issue lol.
@@Stressless2023 Sure sure, the same people who wear old navy cargo shorts think it’s good looking. If you date 10’s and drive an X5 this thing is 🤮 I saw a Grand Hilander, I’ve seen Kia Tellurides and the new Pilots driving around, this is way uglier
The chevy wasn't even on my car buying list, but after seeing the RS...It is now!
Right 😂
Why do no automakers make an option to “delete third row” in one of these? That would give the option for “super recline” second row and STILL have a ton of cargo space. Great for families of four that never use the third row in their 3 row SUV like me. :-)
Sounds like u want the Mazda cx70 lol
@@cormaro1376 187” vs 206” in length. No I’m not looking for a small SUV
I love the new Traverse and especially the new interior design and it's so nice and luxurious 😍🔥
I have a 2011 and still own it. I have had ZERO issues with it. Oil changes, tune up, brakes and tires - normal stuff.
You are a lucky person! We have a 2011 and it’s sitting in my driveway. It has issues with the chain . Replace it? Nope doesn’t matter! It won’t start now and the key won’t come out of the ignition. JUNK and Chevrolet could care less! Never again will we buy a Chevrolet! This company should be disgusted and ashamed of themselves for selling a car they knew there were problems with and won’t back what they built!
Love the Traverse....Chevy did an excellent job....I can't wait to see the Buick Enclave.....
When I was shopping for a family hauler I was looking at the traverse and the explorer. Ended up going with an explorer ST and man no regrets. Modded with a tune and I’m spanking a lot of sports cars on the road
I have a 2023 Traverse Premier with the red line package and this one is well worth the upgrade!
LOVE the shifter location!
Fantastic video as always!😸
Wow wow wow. Not a big fan of red but that color is gorgeous. Wife wants to upgrade her Benz and seeing the Traverse I definitely want to convince her to switch.
I'm impressed. I like the red faux carbon fiber trim. I know it's a styling element, but I don't like how the view from the 3rd row is obstructed. That should be all window like a Suburban. I'm also happy to see 4-way lumbar! Wow! That's very uncommon in a mainstream SUV! Did you mention the transmission? Is it a 10-speed? Thanks for taking a look at this vehicle. SuperCruise definitely makes it a unique offering.
It’s an 8 speed
@@franciscopaci7807Thanks. I wonder why they didn't use the 10-speed. Maybe the 8 speed is stronger internally, and probably the extra 2 gears aren't that important. Guessing...
@@jsfbay1I think the 8 speed is smaller so it fits better since it’s more of a compact suv
I have an 18 but I’m so excited for this new design! Just waiting for it to come off production!
Terrific video of the all new 2024 Chevy Traverse!! Great job Drew, Mason, and Josh!!
Thanks again!
"thin bezels" - shows massive bezels
"excellent leg room in the 3rd row" - leg is visibly to the side of the 2nd row and clearly cramped
Joking aside, great walkthrough and very helpful!
I admire your rapport. Nice when I see brothers wotking together. Cool. Me encanta amigos de Kentucky.
Thank you! We appreciate that!
Great reviews guys. Where's the Auto Show or was this a Chevrolet event?? Alway enjoy your reviews from you both 😅😅😅
Chevy is doing a great job on their product line, exterior and interior design. Traverse is made in the USA 🇺🇸.
LA Auto show
Thanks, David! We were at the L.A auto show
Bacana demais esse vídeo, logo logo quero filmar esse carro aqui no canal.
Love the silver/smoked front bowtie.
I’m a Heavy Chevy girl. I had a Suburban. I wanted one of these so bad!! But,they weren’t producing them yet when I was in the market for a vehicle in September of last year. However, I bought a 2024 SL Premium package Pathfinder. LOVE My Baby! Beautiful, smooth ride, hugs a curve, and great on gas! However, this new Traverse looks like a baby Tahoe. Only thing turned me off was it not being a V6. My Pathfinder is. The Pathfinder is my mid-size crossover and when I pay it off, I’ll get another big body. But I love the look of this new Traverse!!😊💜
What are you talking about, these have been our for years
@@EatTwinkies13This body style was not out in 2023 when I purchased my vehicle. And, it’s still not. I spoke with the dealers and they stated they wouldn’t produce these until 2024. Now what are you talking about?! Nothing!
@NalaAmari of course they weren't on the market LAST YEAR 🤣
I love the new look with one exception: not quite sure how I feel about that shark fin on the back window. I think I would prefer it to be all glass and I certainly think that would help with visibility on the passenger side of the vehicle for the driver. It may grow on me but right now I am not feeling it.
That’s my only gripe with it also
I’ll never forget buying a used traverse right before I got married and the tranny giving out 2 months later. Paid a pretty penny to get it replaced only to have the engine give out 6 months later. Stopped buying American cars and never looked back.
Oh wow! I’m not usually a fan of Chevy design but this suv is beautiful
I think GM is asking too much from that 2.5 turbo. Won’t last long …
It should be fine just require more maintenance and more frequent oil changed 5,000 miles. I'm sure it has upgraded rods and pistons to handle the power. This is becoming standard now thanks to Gov regulations on mpg.
It's fine till you have a full load and taking long roads trips
If it is built similar to the 2.7 in their trucks it will be fine. 4 bangers are getting more efficient every year. If this was 15yrs ago I wouldn't have touched one but it would have been good for half the power levels back then to haha
I don’t like how Chevy is doing what Hyundai is doing with how the headlights are designed now. I understand their making them stand out more but with the headlights but I really hope they put more detail in the headlight design instead of headlights that looks like fog lights.
I love how GM has stepped up the interior to ALL their vehicles...I was born and raised on GM
A GM brat here. Currently own A Pontiac G8 GT and a2017 SS Camaro and a 69 Z28. Curious to see this, have driven the Grand Highlander… unfortunately no hybrid Traverse yet. The Toyota Hybrid/battery warranty is very hard to pass up.
I like almost everything except that third row window design element and obstructed view you get from it. A more conventional window design would have been better. It reminds me of that odd swoop the Kia Carnival did that looks like a herse design piece.
Much respect to Chevy for changing the lights so they don't blind oncoming traffic as bad as in the past.
The Traverse was already my favorite in the segment for its size and convenience but this kicks it up even more. GM knocked it out and this is top of the list for my next vehicle
I wonder how the Buick version is going to look.
It looks like my Blazer RS
Great job 👏
Can you please do a review of this traverse vs. The Palisade. I love your videos and I would love to hear your opinions. Thanks
Once we get behind the wheel of the new Traverse and get full info, we'd love to make a comparison 👍 stay tuned
I really want to know what the price is as well as the fuel economy made by that new smaller engine. The Traverse is one of the roomiest vehicles that ive sat in, which is very important because im 6'5 and wide, but i need more reason to buy one when the Subaru Forester is only $30k and gets nearly 30 mpg.
It looks really good!! I like the red!! It’s nice
Anybody know how many speakers? 2023 bose speaker system has 10. Would hope for 11 or 12 in this with a dedicated subwoofer.
I don't know how do I do like the kind of Tahoe look I might go for either the competition past the grand Highlander or the Mazda CX-9 even though that's the smallest in the segment I would I don't know I would rather go for a something like a grand Highlander
I rented a Traverse and that thing was huge. Probably more practical than the Tahoe tbh.
My wife had a 2013 Traverse. It had more room in it behind the third row than my Tahoe I owned at the time, did.
I have a 2016 Traverse and it’s been perfect for our family. We are looking to maybe replace it this year but it’s been a great car so far.
Wow the 3rd row, kids are gonna be getting sick like crazy not being able to see out of the rear qtr glass
That was the deal breaker for me.
Great point.
Meh. Might still be an issue for a few but not as common as it would have been a few decades back.
Most kids these days are looking down at a tablet or phone, not out of a window.
I love the new design, except for that huge polygon C pillar. Pretty cool. Great video.
Thanks!
2024 Acadia doesn't have that C pillar design, but is the same car
Looks nice, how will it last?
Love my 2018 rs. Need this
Gloss black wheel arches. Nice touch. Toyota is still using plastic requiring trim restoring gel after every wash.
What color red is that? “Gloss Red”?
I don’t see that particular color on the website, or it could just be the lighting in the arena.
Love the big screens, but that means the HVAC vents become knuckle freezers in the summer, and less objectionably, knuckle warmers in the winter. That's personal preference of course.
Interesting
That back window blind spit is killing it.
I wish they would have put the rear wiper up under the spoiler. That would have made it perfect......
It looks great. For a vehicle that is supposed to be ready in early 2024, I am shocked that their haven't been any driving impressions completed yet.
Their what????
Great review, guys. The 2024 Traverse looks like a great alternative to the gigantic Tahoe....finally!
What do you guess the dimensions are? My garage is not the deepest and my e320 only has a foot to 18” to spare from the rear bumper.
About 204 inches long
Materials improved over last gen. No hard touch plastics on doors or front dash. Build quality also improved. Not satisfied with the c pillar since kids back there are gonna start complaining.
Towing capacity?
I wonder what the engine looks like or how large the fuel tank is.
Toyota will always be more reliable and worth more in resale then any Chevy.
My 4Runner 221,000 miles with no rust and still drives perfectly
Such a tough segment but not much to complain about nice looking crossover.
Look great, but I am not sure about the new turbo engine.
Love what they did with this
I can’t wait to these are release I’m buying one can’t wait❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉2024 2024 2024🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉you can get these converted into a wheel chair ramp if you are a caregiver or if you care for someone that’s disable that’s the beauty of these traverse suv ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Looks nice but no one is buying that Z-71 for actual off-roading.
Vented and heated front seats on these two trims?
They should do a tahoe like the front paint job of the traverse
Thinking between Traverse or 2024 Silverado
I'd love to get this, but I need a wheelchair accessible vehicle, and because of the new design, they won't be modifying the Traverse again until the 2025 model. Tack on another year for them to get the modified vehicles out to the public, and i'm looking at 2 1/2 years at least. I can't wait that long. Looks like I'll have to go with a 2023.
Any car company can catch the buyer's eye with the latest tech...but how long will the engine hold up compared to Honda and Toyota...
I love the gloss piano black interior trim around the cupholders that will look nasty as hell the second fingerprints, food or dust touch it. Do they never learn??
Hi will the traverse have phev model?
As of now, there will not
Love everything about it and will be in the market for a new SUV in 2025 (currently on my second Honda Pilot) but I can’t stand all the red accents in the interior. Absolutely not my style. Is there an option to forego it?
What's the mpg on this bad boy??
Adaptive Cruise Control as optional is a deal breaker for me. Everyone else have that as standard in all trims.
Cuz GM is trying to be unique and “special” with their super cruise… it’s annoying they can’t make it a standard offering… they want to put it behind a paywall.. only free for 3 years. So dumb.
I like everything about it except for the headlights, it looks like a Trax on steroids 😢❤ your reviews are amazing though 😊❤ and also that gloss black is gonna look like heck after a few off road adventures and drive thru car washes!
Thank you!
If only they could pop a V8 in it, or even a turbo 6. I’m waiting for a mid size crossover to use a powerful V8 or turbo 6 that isn’t $60 - 70K. A turbo 6 or V8, 4WD system with an 2 speed transfer case, elsd, air suspension or adaptive magnaride, and towing package. Those are the features I’d like to see on a midsize suv, but so far only the Grand Cherokee L offers them.
GM isn't ever going to put a V8 in a FWD based AWD SUV. The only GM brand that has access to a a turbo 6 is Cadillac and they don't share it with any other brands I believe.
@@LoneWolfSparty And even then they don't put their turbo 6 in their midsize crossover, the XT6.
Sorry @Cleaning_Hero I don't see your desires coming true soon, despite me agreeing with you. The Grand Cherokee L isn't even shipping with the e-diff anymore, they can only be spec'd on the Summit trim and then Stellantis automatically credits you $400 for deleting the eLSD and using the mechanical LSD - has to be a parts shortage thing... but what you're looking for isn't being made as far as I can tell. You could hunt around for a used well-optioned Lexus GX460 to get the most for your money but with ancient infotainment.

Durango SRT tows quite nicely and you will spend a lot of time at your local gas station ⛽️.
What about the quality and overall longevity of the engine...?...
Are you going to do the gmc Acadia??
Unfortunately, it wasn't available at this auto show and GMC didn't invite us to the studio shoot in Detroit a couple months ago ☹️
At least Chevy made a modern interior and it looks as good as the outside. It about time Chevy great work. 😂
typical gm they give u all the gloss, red strips, blk out bow-tie looks ruff looks tuff. but never the upgraded parts that matter susp, engine etc they plop the same tired engine they drop in everything from chevy to cadillac ...why not give it a nice beefy engine to match the look.smh..lol
Chevrolet has something with this one. They only need second row captains with a center console option (not standard on all trim levels) & standard option window shade (standard on all trim levels). That 4 cylinder is a joke.
I think that will be the GMC acadia exclusive as it’s standard on all theirs.
I had the Buick version, Enclave, the engine broke at 38k miles, parts broken and completely locked up. Had to replace the engine for $9800, and then TCS malfunctioning, and then steering rack and pinion broke. Nothing but trouble. When trading in for a Toyota, dealer refused to take it. GM, Garage Manufacturer
38,000 miles…I hope you didn’t pay for that? Still under warranty.
🤷 sad Ya don’t trust gmc Chinese products
What year Enclave?
@@5221972 No more warranty, it’s over 5 years

Great review. Impressed that you never skipped a beat when the dude tried to photo bomb you as he peaked into the vehicle and then opened up door. You both are true professionals.
Thank you! At the auto shows, you really have to get "in the zone" 😂
I am wondering if it would be better to get a 2023 with a 6 cyl while you can, instead of a 4 cyl turbo? I need a Traverse for my wife's mobility scooter, our Forester just isn't cutting it anymore with room.
I really want one of these. I currently have a 2021 with a v6, that is kind of making me think.
We bought a 2023 in early 23 because we needed a replacement for our POS 2013 Honda Odyssey and frankly inventory was thin all around and we couldn't wait. It's a Premier redline edition. So far with 23k miles its been fantastic. LOTS of room, great ride, and it scoots. You can probably get a real good deal on any 23's left.
My sister in law bought a 2021 Traverse with only 23 miles on it. She has hit 2k miles and already back to the dealership with transmission issues. Has been there for 6 weeks so far.
The 2.5T engine in this should've been in the next Malibu with awd. One could wish.
When are we going to see a test drive of this ?
Hopefully early next year but nothing has been officially said yet!
Move the B pillar back 10 inches. Then you can see beside you.
I love the z71 & the RS
You’re deciding between looks and reliability. For family I’d say reliability but empty nesters this?
I dont see the 2024 traverse to build and buy on chevy’s website.
I wouldn't get anything with a turbo . Even the 8:23 3.6 engine is hard to consider because of cylinder deactivation.
What's worse?
Turbocharged engine or a GM car with fuel management system?
Yep junk
I have a 2009 Chevy Silverado with 90k had to replace cam and lifters 3 times cause it kept chewing up lifters and locking up lifters. Finally I turned off the deactivation electronically and I have not had any new issues I tell everybody if you buy a vehicle with cylinder deactivation you better cut that shit off right away.
What were they thinking with the tiny 3rd row window? Makes no sense to me.
man....wooooow -i love that red!!!!!
Kind of reminds me of the Escalade from the inside a bit.
I feel like the new gmc arcadia is limiting the traverse without it I guaranty they will make a better traverse with a nicer interior that can better compete with Telluride/Palisade but GMC is just limiting chevy
Acadia has 328 HP and Traverse has 315 HP
When will they be at dealerships? At this point might as well wait for the 2025
Production is supposed to start within this quarter
This is a great family SUV to lease for a few years.
Key word. “Lease”. 😆
@@user-vz8fb3km5p 3 year lease perfect lol
The 2024 pilot elite definitely has better 3rd row leg room. I was hoping for better 3rd row leg room on the traverse.
Is this about the size/ height of the outgoing Tahoe? Whether it is or isn't, I like the height of this a lot better than the newer Tahoes/ Yukons
It's about 3 inches shorter
New pilot 3rd row vs This new traverse 3rd row. What do the confection brothers think has the most space since you have been in both?
Hmm, they're very close in official measurements and in the feel sitting back there... probably slight advantage to the Traverse, but we're going to need more time with it for a full test 👍
Copy that, looking forward to the driving review, thanks gents
I like that red a lot
Those red pieces on the door and dash are a totally different shade of red how did they mess that up?😂
Likely a pre-production car that isn't production-spec and will be crushed.
About 10 years ago, everyone was buying cars because of the "led headlights" now everyone wants the car with the biggest info-tanment center/screen
