Ресурс двигателя 100 000км? Потом замена турбины??😊🙌
@@user-nl8qd8mj7q Thanks for watching!
@@RaitisRides How much engine should go for milege? Sorry for my English😊🙌
Before it broke or need exchange turbocharger
@@user-nl8qd8mj7q That data is not available yet.
Way better than the outgoing model. Interior is much improved, love the screen and dash layout.
I think they really nailed this one Zach!
I hate the dash lay out, I hate staring at screens every single place I go. But I think I am alone in this, even if im not, builders are already doubling down on it.
@@PQ28120 No you're not alone. I like a decent screen for a backup camera. 8-10" is fine. For everything else I'll take intuitive and ergonomic buttons and switches.
@@plmn93how about a ergonomic and intuitive display to interact with too? *gm* has figured this out that you can keep physical buttons to improve intuitiveness _and_ work hard on the actual operating system of the massive displays so that they work well too. Not sure why so many feel it has to be one way or another while Chevrolet is showing us how it’s done right before our eyes. People will complain no matter what though. 🤷🏾♂️
Except the 4cyl is not as refined. But most people can't tell the difference.
The Z71 trim on a Traverse is what everyone never knew they wanted!
Big time for sure!
I really agree with u on that, and the design is so pretty. And it would be a perfect dad truck
Agreed
I like the redesign. It looks very aggressive in this trim. Great review as always.
I totally agree with you! Thanks for being so supportive!
Shout out to Lori Raiti. Your videography is superb! You get all the right angles, full view and close-ups perfectly! I follow a lot of car review channels but your video work is hands down the best!!
They knocked this exterior design out the ballpark! The interior is beautiful and laid out nicely! I'm glad to be excited for an offering from General Motors! Love this Z71 trim! The GMC Acadia sneak peek pics show another awesome looking SUV with a possible Z71 offering. Well done 👍🏼
First, the Trax, now this?! This is a beast!! OMG! Everytime something new debuts, I get very excited.
GM is finally going in the right direction.........
@@crow_2k11beatsbydre8 Actually, almost every car brand is. Mostly Kia and Honda. That's why I love new cars.
Joe- a quality and professional review. Well done ! Love the interior and exterior. Fresh updates. The turbo 4 is a potential head scratcher. Looking forward to seeing/hearing when you go On Throttle. Maybe you do an On Throttle with a trailer hooked up the this new Traverse.
the turbo 4 is definitely not a head scratcher. get ready for 6 cylinders and 8 cylinders to completely disappear in the next 2 or 3 years
Another great overview, looking forward to the first drive review! Love the tougher looking exterior and that the Z71 package actually adds some off-road capability! Interior looks very modern as well, but not a huge fan of the red accents. With the release of the new Traverse, I wonder if the new Acadia will be rolled out soon as well. Will be curious to compare the two.
It appears the Acadia is going to be on the same chassis and have the same drive train. It looks really nice as well. There is already a walk around video on that as well on you tube.
This redesign is much better and improved than the last. It no longer looks like a van. For years the interior was something of the past, never on par with the competition but this looks promising. Although I still see they still have the old locking system in the 2nd row and most likely the child lock in the door panel. Here they are still behind the times.
I am glad that you like this one.
Compared to another SUV, I feel like I am tasting "Kellogg's Corn flakes" from Battle Creek Michigan. I need flat black and sugar for my lame cereal.
Definitely like the column shifter over the push button or rotary dial. I've seen it on the spec videos of the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe as well. It will be interesting to see what rolls out for 2024/25 with all of GM's sister brands.
I guarantee that they ALL will be 4 cylinder turbos!! 😡
@@drift3rkid66with shit reliability and quality and guarantee to not make it anywhere near 50,000 MI
Great review as always, but you lost me at all new turbo charged 4 cylinder. Everything else seems on point with this design on this trim level. I just can't get on board with the smaller turbo engines for long term ownership.
Their V6 was problematic
@djncrti2860 how was it problematic
Bought a 23 Premier Redline Edition to replace our POS 2013 Honda Odyssey. Knew there was a redesign coming, but wanted to get the NA 3.6 engine, knowing that the redesign was going to bring a small turbo with it. Plus the price was right in the mid 40s. Really love the aesthetics here- wish I could take this new Traverse and put the 3.6 V6 back in it.
100%. Needs the V6. I would get it then. I’m not going to get a turbo.
Love it and I have never paid much attention the traverse, however this one will make you look for sure…. Great job Chevy! I am three time Tahoe owner I sure hope they give you first view of the 2024 Tahoe z71 and I hope the infotainment looks the same so much integrated in the dash.
Chevy is going broke because they put to many eggs in the EV market that’s costing them a fortune.
The 2024 Tahoe will likely and unfortunately be a V6 Turbo.
@@usergvhhyu1223
I hadn’t thought about that, you could be right they do seem
To be downsizing all the motors in everything. I really hope they don’t .
@@juliew8687 Indeed.
My wife really wants a traverse but wanted to wait for next gen and damn!
I think it was worth the wait in this case for sure!
Definitely what I have been hoping Chevy would do with the Traverse! The only feature I hope Chevy will add in the future is a 4x4 version of the Traverse Z71 in the future. If or when Chevy does that, that would make it the "perfect sauce" "off-roady" mid-size SUV. Thanks Joe for knocking it out of the park with this video! Keep your excellent review videos coming!
It is 4x4 (AWD)…
Very nice update design!! Hopefully they have a different color other then red for the dash trim and door. Also would like to know if they have a way to turn off auto start/stop off.
Hey Jor! Great job 👏 thanks. One question. Do other usual Traverses coming up with this restyled body and interior in 2024 ?
Yes all the trims are getting totally redesigned for 2024.
Chevy styling has been on point lately. Interior looks better than a Lexus
They really have upped their game for sure!
but the new chevy colorado trailboss is ugly tho 🤮
full of plastic
Better than a Lexus? Yeah, you are reaching with that comment.
@@aritruths1452no Gm interior can look better then a Lexus interior only more modern looking at best n see how it looks in 5 years .
great review. Does anyone know if this will require regular gas or premium? Also was gas MPG listed on new engine?
The most amazing thing about Raiti is that I don’t think he knows what his next sentence will be until he’s there. Bro is the freestyle rapper of car reviews.
Thanks for the excellent presentation. Lori excellent cam work ❤❤
Thanks for showing Lori some love! She really is the best!
I like this, it doesn't look cheap.
I agree with you 100% on that!
Joe, you did very thorough review as always; I can't wait to go "on throttle." I appreciate your consistency; I always know what is coming next. Your humor is enjoyable as well. The car looks great! A big wow to Chevy for the design. The manual front passenger seat is a downer, a zonk in my opinion. (You highlighted the power front passenger seat in the RS.) I really want to know if Chevy will offer the rear seat entertainment as found in the Yukon/Tahoe packages.
Thank you for letting me bring it to you!
Where its the battery located ? I hate that my 2016 traverse had the battery under the 2nd row seat
Massively improved over its predecessor. And yes, I like it a lot more than the Pilot. Touchscreen, switchgear, ergonomics and exterior design are all super nice, and of course class-leading spaciousness. Can't wait to see how the other trims look.
Pilot was a huge disappointment for us. Looked great on paper but in person it was uncomfortable due to the seats being so close to the floor and it didn't ride very well. It also didn't have near as much space as Honda claimed, though I see they have now revised their official numbers to be more in line with reality.
@@plmn93 While nice exterior designs, the Pilot and CR-V have both really been de-contented, and it's a huge bummer. Less car for more money is never good, and I guess the only benefit now is Honda high resale value. This Traverse looks like so much more for the money.
I guess I'm old school because this is what they should have done with the blazer, good review as always and it looks good but I'm feeling really indifferent about the Traverse 😂😂😂
Looks really good! Wonder if there will be a way to get the z71 trim with premium audio? The audiophile that lives on a gravel road package perhaps?
To the door panel… ahhh. Every time .. like lightning in my soul. It just resonates … pumped up
This is the trim to get. It looks amazing, in and out.
It is a beast for sure!
Chevy is stepping up their styling game.
I am so glad to see that I am not the only one thinking that!
When do you think you'll get to drive it? I'm very interested in that review!! I love my 2017 grand cherokee trailhawk, but I need a little more space, and this Z71 just made my list... GC L overland and Mazda cx-90 are my other options so far.
My wife hasn't wanted another suv since 2004 gmc envoy 4.2l. It's got bigger tires and a not a uni body with a leveling kit. But for the first time ever she's interested about this one. Finally a good looking suv that's got potential. She said maybe. That's a huge improvement.
I've always like the Traverse except for the front end design. Love this one though. Will get serious consideration for our next vehicle!
Redesign looks cool has sharper lines the silver pops on this vehicle and the interior is nice!
It really works!
Wow this is excellent! I really hope the new Traverse starts eating massively into the Telluride, GHighlander, Pilot craze. I had a long term loaner of the higher trim level in 2019 and thought is was pretty much perfect. But for some reason it doesn’t get brought up as a competitor to the others, why doesn’t it get any hype? Hopefully this gen get more love.
The shifter on the driver column. Neat throwback! I love it.
Right off the bat Joe’s the best
You are awesome! Thank you for having my back!
I am absolutely loving that column shifter. This gives me so much hope.
I am so glad to hear that Eric!
I kept looking for the shifter, hoping it wasn’t the push/pull buttons on the dash like in the Tahoe rental we had. Hated that. Gives me throwback vibes to my ‘79 Malibu.
I love your reviews. Always very thorough. I have to say I like the styling, and interior space. Definitely a plus for the segment. I would have concerns about the longevity of the turbo 4. Waiting to see what GMC brings.
They have it with a V6 option too with 326hp. I think he missed that part.
I’ve had a turbo 4 Chevy for the last 7 years, over 100,000 miles and zero issues… ever. They have come a long way.
How big is that compared to the q7 and jeep Cherokee l? I have the q7 trying to get something a little cheaper but not too much bigger. Any suggestions?
Love the redesign. Some say the lack of a naturally aspirated V6 is the reason they wouldn’t buy it. I say it couldn’t be any worse than what they are replacing it with. The 3.6 liter V6 engine. They are notorious for having timing chain problems & timing guide problems.
The 3.6 is now bulletproof. GM’s turbo 4s have been good though.
@@user-tb7rn1il3q the 3.8 liter (3800) engine was bullet proof. GM stopped production in late 2008 or early 2009. The 3.6 liter does have timing chain & timing guide problems.
the 3.6 liter is a great engine, tried and true and they basically put it in everything for a reason.
15 years ago
What the heck is going on here?! With this being 2024 im sure chevy wanted to suprise us! Im sure it'll be hitting dealerships soon Joe! This makes me curious whay the refreshed Tahoe and Suburban are goin to be.
I think they may have a home run on their hands, No longer is the Traverse boring.
@@RaitisRidesMy thoughts exactly.
@@chrisgelo1425 You know it!
my favorite part of every show is . . . . "to the door panels !"
I like the way that you think Tony!
Rooftop Tent With Actuators And Sunroof Access Please
Thank you for being so detailed. Down to the key fob which I have been interested in seeing. Will you post an update with the prices and lower models?
I sure will and you are so very welcomed.
Really nice! I do have concerns about that visibility in the rear quarters, not to mention a 4-cyl for a three row SUV, but I'm looking forward to the pricing to see if it remains competitive with its rivals.
I know it's smaller but my 4cyl kia sorento has been doing great with 3 rows and fully loaded with people.
Joe, man I love it! I know the Z71 model in the Traverse is going to literally break the bank. It’s going to easily be beyond $60k. I hope I’m wrong but I’m a huge fan of its brother if I’m not mistaken being the GMC Acadia which I’ve been dead set on getting for a while now but this Z71 Traverse if priced within reason and reach has changed the game! Man I absolutely love it! In fact I’d prefer it over the Tahoe because it’s easier to drive and far more nimble! Do you have any idea roughly as to when you’ll have in hand to hit the throttle real time? One more quick question. The Acadia has the AT4 but from what I’ve researched is just appearance. This is the real entire deal. Will GMC end up offering the Acadia with the refreshed suspension and off-road tires or basically the equivalent? If they do or don’t what do you think? Traverse or Acadia? The Acadia appears to be a tad slimmer and in my mind I’m thinking a more nimble ride and handling. Do you mind letting me know your thoughts if you have the time? My best to you and Lori.
Kashton
Hi Kashton! I am going to have to wait and see after the first drive to give you the best answer.
GMC has been 1-upping Chevy on equipment lately, so I expect the Acadia to follow in these footsteps and offer an AT4 and possibly an extreme AT4X option over the Z71. But pricing will be out of reach, and make you wonder why you didn't just get a Tahoe.
Still don't know why GM doesn't revive the 3800 and do whatever is necessary to get the emissions right. It was a solid, naturally aspirated NOT direct injected reliable, smooth, and torquey V6. I feel like these manufacturers are asking too much of tiny 4-cylinders to propel 5000lb behemoths down the road.
Say it with me, these large (and they are large) SUVs that are being powered by smaller displacement 4-cylinder engines are not going to have the lifespan that we are seeing out of naturally aspirated engines. The interior is extremely nice though and hats off to GM for it. It's gorgeous.
I’m excited about the engine and transmission changes. I’ve owned a 2018 since new and haven’t been happy with the torc converter, which is a known flaw. Also nice to see the Z71 package and column shifter.
I can't wait to see the cost. I was sold on the Grand Highlander, but my only
complaint is that Toyota could have done a little more for 60k. The interior of this Chevy is what I except to see on a vehicle in that price range IMo... If the price is right, I might be willing to gamble on the reliability.
You can get extended warranty, chevy are not that bad compared to other Americans brand when it come to reliability.
Such a sexy vehicle. Chevy is killing it.
Big time for sure Alex!
Do the rear(2nd. row) seats slide forward & back?
Dang…. I was thinking in 2024 that I was was set on only having to choose between a Pathfinder Elite or Pilot Elite….
…. And then this clip. 😂😂😂😂
#NowThereAreThreeToChoose
Thanks Raiti for the great information!!
Beautiful truck. Great job 👏
I am so glad that you are liking this one Johnny!
Looks good, way to go Chevrolet! PS and Joe!
Thanks brother!
Does the second row seat not slide/ adjust forward/back?
This iIs a well thought-out and well-sorted vehicle that will appeal to a wide customer base, especially families with an active lifestyle. The cargo space behind the third row seat is truly class leading! Will this vehicle be available with locking center and rear differentials? Can you also talk more about the all-wheel-drive system in this vehicle? Is there a low range as in the Z 71 pick up trucks and Tahoe/Suburban?
I'm digging this. Not a fan on the tiny engines though.
Me neither. Its all about MPG and regulations about average mpg over a lineup. I can't believe that they offer the 4cyl turbo lawnmower sized motor in the silverado and camaro up to this year and Ford only offers the v6 ecoboost in the Expedition. Every vehicle I own ha e v8s this Traverse would be killer with an LS v8
I really like the styling but concerned about reliability.
Thanks for bringing this to us Joe. Bet this thing would look sharp in Black
So do it have ambient lighting my 2013 have it and so do all the newer suv that is out if not they lacking.
That is a great question.
This truck is truly a game changer!!!!! Love the cargo space with the spare tire underneath..
It’s not a real truck or suv for that matter. It’s a unibody CUV, a crossover.
@@Cosmicshroom towing capacity sucks though
It seems a lot of manufacturers are removing V6 engines and putting 4 cylinder turbo engines. I will wait to see how this new engine holds up.
This seems to be the way of the future.
Rooftop Tent With Actuators And Sunroof Access Please
Wow, I’m actually considering a mid size suv. Thank you Joe & Lori.
I currently own a 2019 Traverse that I LOVE. This 2024 has definitely caught my attention. I am looking to purchase a new SUV soon. I want to see how the 2024 Traverse compares with the 2024 Palisades.
As a current Traverse owner, I was looking forward to this. But I think the new Landcruiser is going to be my next purchase.
If GM wanted an offroader they shouldn't have wasted the Blazer badge.
This should've been the new Trailblazer, especially with the three-row seating.
Apostle Joe, I love this Chevy Traverse I think for an early prototype I love the way It looks. While pricong has yet to be carbed in stone at this time this is a dandy.
I knew you would like this one Luis!
Looks great 👍 good that it has got a proper shifter instead of buttons and dials
The only thing I’m not crazy about is the tail light design. Column shifter is nice. Hey, 40 to 50 more lb ft of torque over the 3.6. is a good thing. Hard to tell since he didn't go over it. Are the audio controls on the front side of the wheel? Left side is the cruise buttons. Right side I see the phone, heated steering wheel, looks like a screen switch button. No volume controls. It's going to be crowded with the paddle shifters, wiper/headlight stalk and shifter if it's on the backside.
I bought my wife a 2020 Traverse Premier Redline Edition with every option on it & I really dig all the styling changes & refinements!
Not completely sold on a 4-cylinder Turbo motor but everything else is very impressive! Thanks for sharing the new Traverse Joe!
You are so very welcome Vinnie!
that 3rd row is something I wish my family had back in the day lol, great work as always Joe and Lori!
Trust me I know how you feel on that one.
Manual control for the passenger is a zonk, rear wiper is a zonk also. I would definitely pick this over the Explorer. The style is nice and the interior also. Finally all LED head lights and tail lights. These will sale good over the competition.
Hey Joe! 👋🏼 SUV is awesome! Thanks for the great review. The only thing I don’t like is that shifter… might confuse it with the blinkers and then what? 😂
Everything is better than a 2023 Pilot that have a interior which looks starlight from 2002.
Now this is how you redesign a vehicle. This interior screams welcome compared to Pilot that says gtfo.
Chevy did a good job here.
Very good points Henry!
I have owned 2 Chevy Traverse and Loved them both. This one is also very nice. But let's be real, a 2.5 Turbo (for parts to wear out the more that you tow). I have had a 2022 Pilot and now a 2023 and truly love the power.
@@srtramble I have a 2018 2.0T accord manual with 4 turbo and still 46k miles strong, same goes with our 2.7T f150. Turbo engines are the future and here to stay.
awesome, I own a kia sorento right now but I could very well see myself get one of these when I'm done with the sorento!
Great job as always! I love this thing I want one!
That's nice but it's a Chevy💩
I know everyone has their favorites!
It’s beautiful and nice also great review as always but one thing is bugging me why didn’t they use the 2.7l turbo from the trucks
Thanks for the great video Joe and Lori ! Chevy is doing a great job on style these days.
does z71 comes wit memory seat n heated steering wheel?
Thank you! This is a very nice review. Makes me think ...
Only thing I can suggest on the Traverses is...they need to make the rear hatch window open independently of the full open. Sometimes you just want to put something small inside instead of having to open the full hatch,
Thank you Joe and Lori. This looks like a step in the right direction they should offer electric assist for passenger on all trims.
Beautiful! I’ve been debating upgrading my 2017 traverse with a Tahoe but maybe a 2024 Traverse is the way to go. This look amazing. The front is perfect. My 2017 looks like a minivan which I don’t like. The 2024 looks like a truck. The only disappointment is the lack of a v6.
Looks nicer than the new body tahoes in my opinion. Tahoes used to look nice and luxurious now they have too much of a family car design. This looks more tough.
I love it. I lease a 2022 Traverse and I love it. I used to have a 2019 Z71 Silverado and I loved it too. I cannot wait to test this out!!!
This looks great.. I'll be getting one!! Side note, love it has physical knobs too
Chevrolet has knocked it out of the park with the new Traverse......USA !!! Thanks Joe and Lori.
Damn beautiful I had first Traverse that came out. Now my wife has a Mazada CX9 and I'm really liking this.
The design is nice. The powertrain they’re playing it safe. It would have been nice to reintroduce lf3 engine and at least in the top trim. This could’ve give them a chance to compete with the other performance suv. I pretty sure the price wise it’s gonna be overpriced in which you better of buying something like a type s or m40 suv
Hey always love your new vehicle reviews. This one however was not your typical quality. The second, third row and storage/ luggage area filming was way too dark! Hard to see all back interior shots. Videographer more lighting next time . Thanks.
This Redesign looks really Good. GM finally has some good styling but alot of people I know have issues. I had a 2019 Traverse with 23,000 miles which was a POS , always at the dealer ,electrical,trans,leaking fluid. Bought a 2020 little bigger Expedition, had a couple recalls but has been a Great Vehicle so far with No problems with 35,000 miles. This might be a keeper.
Oh man I would love a Traverse. Been wanting an RS version with grey and black like this! But couldn't fit it in the budget. Perhaps after paying the Sorento off I could trade it in! Thank you for posting this!
You spent all that money to pay off a car and you won't even enjoy the benefits of a paid off car? You're just gonna go right into debt again 😂
I guarantee you this is going to be 25k more than your Sorento overpriced for what you get this is going to be the same price as a Genesis gv80
Wished that they put that column shifter in the Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon instead of the nit as intuitive to use button shifter. It makes more sense on those.
Joe, as a Chevy fan boy this puts a huge smile on my face. This has to be best in class and a homerun! My only gripe is no hybrid option. I bet the next ICE Equinox is a smaller version of this! As always you and Lori are the best!
The outgoing one was much better than most reviewers gave it credit for. Spacious, comfortable, and great driving. My wife preferred it to all others by a wide margin, and we did look at them all. This seems to retain all that and modernizes it.
Interior much better! was hoping for some bigger changes to exterior styling but good improvement
I am glad that you are digging this one.
Love it can't wait to see you take it on the road Joe.
I was saving for a type r but after watching this suv my head is overtaking 😅 looks so beautiful to my eye 👁
In your opinion, given your initial impression, how does this fare against the Grand Highlander?
Would have liked to see power folding third row and power passenger seat. The infotainment is definitely a great upgrade! I do have to say, the taillights look so similar to the Toyota Sienna so still looks a bit van like to me.
Man I am loving the new look with the Traverse! Looks way better than the 2023 model!
