After such a successful run with the first generation, Chevrolet gives the popular Traverse crossover a full redo for 2018. Key highlights include way more technology, improved fuel economy, even more space, and a massive weight reduction of nearly 400 pounds. It all adds to one seriously practical family SUV with more room versus a lot of key competitors. Just be cautious on the options list otherwise the price will creep up into luxury SUV levels. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I work at a Chevy dealer: this is easily my favorite car we sell to go about driving in. It's very comfy, the interior just "feels right" for lack of a better way of explaining it (fits like a glove when you sit in it), the visibility is very good, the materials feel nice, the third row isn't useless, the road noise is almost nill. The car feels smaller than it actually is so maneuvering it in the city doesn't feel cumbersome.
This really is a good car. Don't go for the High Country trim though. The Premier offers everything 99% of the buying population would ever want.
None. We don't get information before the public does about new models. We learned about the mid-engine Corvette when y'all did :)
Judging by spy shots online it's still body-on-frame and probably using the same underbody stuff from the Silverado, like previous Tahoes and Burbs.
I agree 100%.
Except the premier doesn’t offer adaptive cruise control. Only the high country trim gets that.
@Nathan Young I totally agree, plus the High Country doesn't offer a 2nd row bench, forcing someone like me with a family of 5 to have to use the 3rd row AT ALL TIMES, limiting my cargo capacity. Captain's chairs are SO overrated!
Yes, I agree with everything you said. We bought the Premier because it has pretty much everything the High Country has, without the ugly brown seats.
We our so happy with it. Everything you said is true. It's such a nice, comfy ride. I was always fidgeting when I drove the old Traverse, but this one is just right!
Love the Traverse. We drove a 2017 cross country with 3 kids and took it on back roads up a mountain. It was fantastic! We are actually looking at buying or leasing a 2020 Traverse now!
In my opinion you are the best Journalist in the TH-cam honest, clear, and you give your opinion straight forward. Not like other talking to much and makes you wanna skip the video. Great job and keep going❤️👍
Ahmad Al Ameer yes he is so amazing and he gets right to the point with honesty and clarity
I do look forward to the Redline reviews.
Best on youtube? Really? Did he tell you that Start/Stop "fuel saving" device CAN NOT be turned off? So every time you go to a stop sign the engine shuts off? DEAL KILLER.
@@chadhaire1711 he mentions that at 18:45.
@@CamberRockerCamber Okay he said it in one second,,easy to miss. That should have been said at the beginning and he lied when he said it was smooth in operation...it is NOT. I can assure you that out or 100 potential customers, about 20% would have turned off this video in the first minute if he had mentioned this start/stop feature the first minute....instead he leads the viewers on so they will watch more of the video and give him a better revenue time. This is nothing but advertising, I did a video on the same vehicle--watch ,
I love the traverse emblem on the door
Excellent review! I actually just recorded a review of the 2019 Kia Sorento 3-row Crossover, and I have to say... This Traverse is a whole lot larger, but notably more expensive. Keep up the great work, Sofyan!
Just bought a 2020 High Country Traverse. Shopped hard. Need all the room . "Need" all the creature comforts & impressed with the twin clutch AWD & the self crashing (modern AI safety) features. Best hidden trailer hitch. Airbag between the driver & front passenger. Got the all weather floor mats. Total home run.
One thing I really like about Sofyan is that he actually goes through the trouble of getting in the third row and showing us what it's like. Small kids won't always be small kids and surely there will be some occasions when I'll have to put adults in the third row.
Thank you for pointing out the dated gauges. They need to change the chime too.
'Just put your foot down and hear the engine scream instead of your kids' love it!
This car looks so nice I don't want my messy friends and children to be in it.
Have had this for a year now. Averaging 22 combined with as high as 29 on highway for sustained driving, which is great mileage for a car this big. Only major gripe is the lack of an 8 passenger option on the higher trims (WHY?!?!). Excellent thus far and serves our purpose extremely well!
$54 grand is what a base model rear drive tahoe costs and their third row is useless, so this doesn't seem like a bad price at all.
From what I'm hearing, the 2020 Chevrolet Tahoe is going to get an independent rear suspension to give it more space inside.
William Bouma Tahoe was originally based off a two door camper ck1500
More off road capabilities, and most people who buy one don't use all the seat
true
It isn't if you're towing something
Awesome honest review, keep up the good work!
Techically, originally back there was four models that was riding in the same gm platform.
1.) Chevy traverse
2.) GMC Acadia
3.) Saturn outlook
4.) Buick Enclave
That was the now discontinued Lambda platform.
Well they are still on the market except for the Saturn... they dropped that way way back!
Yup. And the 2nd gen Acadia used the 1st gen Saturn Outlook’s body design.
XxklusivV Gaming, No it did not!
@@caidenn_mb Google a 2014 Acadia and then Google a 2008 Saturn Outlook.
Those body styles are not the same???
Does it come in yellow for those who've always wanted to drive a school bus?
Great video man!! I love this video!!! I love the Chevy Traverse High Country You should do a review on the 2019 Nissan Altima when it comes out. I can't wait for your next video.
Very nice review of this long awaited upgraded Traverse. Everything is superior to the previous model, not as large an upgrade from one generation to the next as the 2013 Chevy Impala to the 2014.5 Chevy Impala, but still rather welcomed. You definitely hit on some good points Soyfan. I am sure that you know that the overall length of the Traverse is the exact same as the Tahoe at 204 inches, it just isn't as tall nor is it a body on frame truck based vehicle like the Tahoe. So if someone wanted a Mini Tahoe minus a few things like the 3k lbs more the Tahoe can tow, the 4x4 system, and the extra height go for the Traverse which is much less money when comparing new ones with similar equipment. Yes CPO Tahoes with low miles that are loaded can be found in the 50k range. The Traverse actually has much more behind the 3rd row seat space than the Tahoe (which isn't difficult to do), and with the 2nd and 3rd row down it has about the same space as a short box Silverado 1500 does in the bed.
Just like you I would recommend the LT leather trim for the best all around value with this vehicle. I also like the tech upgrades like the 360 camera, and the rearview camera in the mirror, etc... I do agree with you on the word Traverse being too high, I would either remove it completely or if I could do it well enough move it down much further on the door if I ever got one, when I start a family.
The start/stop system CAN NOT be turned off---the engine stops running at every stop light. Guess you forgot the mention that
Love your reviews Sofyan!
We have used the heck out of our '14 GMC Acadia. Not that flashing, but these three row utility vehicles are good for hauling around the family, pets and running errands. Also taken plenty of road trips and can't complain. Which I love my '18 BMW suv, the utility of these and the size come in handy.
“Better than that Buick LaCrosse I reviewed last week” is a bit troubling to hear. This seems like a Honda vs previous generation Acura’s situation; mainstream feels better. I just prefer the interior of this car more, even if the dash area is a little disappointing. The rear looks better too. This car is just more desirable. Keep up the good work Sofyan
For the past year this car grabbed my attention more than anything else on the road, and had to have one. So I just bought a 2019 Traverse LS last week and we love it. Even though it is a lower trim, it has a lot more features than I will ever use.
Watching the camera man stare at his watch to count to 10 lol is still my highlight of all your videos.
@Redline Reviews i found the cooled seats to not work quite aswell because it's pretty much just a fan underneath and in the seat backs instead of an actual air conditioning system but the heated seat feature works very well it doesn't take long for the seats to get nice and toasty.
I like your reviews! Thanks
We own a 2018 Traverse LT and we drove to Colorado from Nevada. The fuel economy is great!
Having driven the 2018 Traverse a lot, I can say this is a fantastic vehicle. Cargo room is great, third row is totally usable, and the fit and finish is great overall. Super comfortable car. The Traverse has enough features in the premier edition to keep everyone happy. If you have a larger family, this is a great choice. MPG is the only downside.
I was shopping for a large three row crossover. This vehicle was tops on my list. Until I realized that it doesn’t have a power sunshade for the non panoramic sunroof. Then I realized how subpar certain parts of the interior are. Specifically the dash and gauges. Ended up purchasing VW Atlas SEL premium. It’s amazing. Punches above its class.
But is the glovebox damped and lined in felt?
Sticking with the real deal, Tahoe... Now that's a real good old truck based beast
Sofyan - in some cars, such as the Dodge Challenger, you have to press and hold the button to start the ignition, whereas in others, you just have to press it once. Would you be able to clarify this aspect in future videos? I can't help but wonder every time you say '...push the button to fire up the engine' which one you are doing. Thank you.
I think that color leather clashes with the red paint but otherwise a fairly good looking vehicle. And with an impressive amount of space.
If I got a High Country, I'd definitely get these colors.
I agree the red doesn't look good with the interior
Nice review sofyan.
@Redline Reviews they still have the 2lz premier too. that's gotta be confusing when you want to get a luxurious interior.
Thanks. Very informative
Just bought one. Love it.
I love my 2019 traverse❤
Does the sunroof leaks??
How reliable it is?
My husband has the 2018 LT in the garage right now. It really is a phenomenal vehicle. It has power, not as much as a Silverado, but having owned a 2500HD in the past, the immediate power upon hitting the gas pedal is similar. Those tires will squeal. It handles quite well. Not quite an Equinox (we have a 2017), but not quite a Silverado. It has a tremendous amount of interior space, measures out to more then a Tahoe, yet the lower height allows for it to fit in small garages like ours. The gas mileage is good, especially considering it is a large SUV, it handles winter weather like a breeze. It is comfortable for long road trips with plenty of room for luggage, strollers, beach gear or just about anything else you need for a family vacation. The negatives I would say it has, the seats aren’t as comfy as my 2017 Equinox (or even the 2018 Equinox as we rented one of those while in Arizona), but with all of the possibilities for adjustments, you can solve that. I just prefer the side lips on the 2017 Equinox seat. The other negative, you can definitely feel the weight when breaking, but really that is to be expected with a vehicle of this size and it is similar to the 2500HD pick up we used to have. Overall, we love this vehicle, and would recommend it.
This ride looks sweet👍
Nice job on the video !
My 2020 Traverse, Premier trim, does NOT have a USB port in that hidden compartment behind the infotainment screen??? Also, not sure of the '19 and lower, but on my 2020 model when the info screen is raised, when you put it in reverse it closes automatically which is definitely a flaw to me. It's got some quirks, but all in all it's not a bad family car thus far.
hyundai i30 fastback review?
I had a 2014 traverse and love it.
So, can I defeat the auto start-stop by tricking it I’m towing something? Like trailer tester, etc.
Great review.
My 2019 GMC Acadia’s infotainment screen doesn’t even slide up
The fog lights doesn’t come standard LED?
Kia telluride 2020 or this car?
I agree, the Traverse badge stamped across the driver and front passenger doors is tacky. It only needs to be on the rear tailgate of the vehicle. If you use regular fuel, does it effect the power output?
What was it like to see the video playback of all the traffic behind you in the rear view mirror while driving?!? I recall the first time I saw one of these video camera based rear view mirrors it was in a taxi cab and it tripped me the heck out just watching it. Did you find it distracting or did it make you nauseous at all?!? Just curious what you thought of it. Great review as always. 😁
Can you do a review of the 2019 Chevy Bolt?
Im amazed at the weight. Must be a lot of aluminum or UHS steel
I have a 2010 Chevy Traverse now. I'm ready for an upgrade. we are a family of 6 and I like the fact that we can fit 8 people total in my current vehicle. I tow occasionally and would love to have at least AWD again. With kids, I imagine sticking with leather seats will be a good option. I really like the new Traverse, but I've also got my eye on the Mazda CX-9. Which is the best bang for my buck???
Drove it at last year's Auto Show wasn't impressed but interested to see Redline opinion
21:06 Now thats what I am talking about. A simple compartment design. I've noticed over time that when an automobile is built with so much crap under the hood where you can't see the ground pass the motor, they tend to breakdown more. This is a simple layout where you can just stick a wrench somewhere to change a minor part without taking it to a shop and damn near take apart half of the assembly to get to a minor fix. This is genius.
Do a video on the 2019 Malibu when it comes out
Best in segment cargo capacity with all seats down, along with sister Buick Enclave.
If I had to get this I would get it in white or black, then change the fog lights to led, black rims and the front turn signals to leds too. That’ll make this family hauler look very very luxurious.
It's very comfy, the interior just "feels right" for lack of a taking for granted better way of explaining it (fits
Hi there. I drive a 2018 traverse LT. Prior to that I drove the 2012 traverse 2LT. I was kind of disappointed when Chevy took out the 2LT in the 2018 models. Both cars were really good to me, no breakdowns, had some electrical issues with the 2012. But I am growing to be a Chevy girl through and through. I love how it drives, how much stuff I can carry. Plus it is a great traveling vehicle. I even named my vehicles. I don't think I'll ever buy any other make. I like the familiar, no financial surprises that breaks my bank.
Thanks for a great review. I wanted to do a review comparing both vehicles but never seem to have the time to do it. 👌
The Traverse is perfect for the large family who want a vehicle that's affordable and reliable. Great review - thanks!
Review the Buick Enclave, please.
Wow that is an amazing vehicle! And not only that you get the quality and reliability of a Toyota with that engine and drivetrain! Chevrolet and General Motors has hit it out of the ballpark with this new edition! The rear tail lights could use a little tweaking and some more aggressive wheel wells would be nice on the fenders other than that phenomenal incredible
There is nothing amazing about it lol
I just love your reviews. At 17:30...the rev up noise..isn't that bad to hear in a new car?
Thanks a lot of help
Can you explain what is Adaptive Cruise Control?
BWKAPPA The car will automatic stop or slow down when it is close to front car.
Nice Review Of 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. 😀
I have a 2010 and its been in the shop the entire time ive had it from the dealership. The last thing to happen to it was a blown engine
Check and change your oil regularly. Not doing so will get all of those early High Feature V6s.
When the first traverse was released, there were FOUR vehicles on that platform.
Saturn Outlook
GMC Acadia
Buick Enclave
Chevrolet Traverse
Scotty Kilmer reported that there was transmission trouble with these Traverses. Loved the redesigned. Close to pulling the trigger if you wasn't for dealers not offering out the door pricing over the net when I requested it.
Bengal Ghost Scotty Kilmer? Lmao
I love my 2018 Traverse Premiere.
Full size or mid size?
I was thinking this car, 2019 traverse high country or a Porsche Cayenne 2016.. I got an offer of 48k for the traverse and around the same for the Porsche. Which one do I get
Omney Pixel which one did you end up getting
When you're tired of the kids screaming, just put your foot down! LOL
Very sharp..👍
that screen going up and revealing a hidden cubby is cool but looks like it goes up too high, affecting front visibility.. didn't watch much on this one, cause this car is not on our radar, but the equinox is.
Where is the 2022 traverse, why no revision on it?
No defeat of the auto start/stop is a deal breaker.
I agree I have a 2013 model love it...drove a 2018 while getting service and hated it it felt werid and I was nervous the fucking thing wouldn't restart lol
You don't like saving 10% more fuel?
I have a Malibu and have that annoying start stop feature. And no you really don't save fuel even in traffic. That shit just restarts itself because the AC is on. Useless feature in Texas
Elijah Golden The 10% you save in fuel won’t matter when the starter fails at 60,000 miles.
Kent that's why I keep my Chevy Cruze in L gear so the start stop feature is disabled plus it turns off all the damn time as I live in CA.
Finally , reviews by someone more my height . Now if someone could just review this kind of vehicle with a family of six packing for a long weekend or vacation .
YES GET THE V6 most recommended 4cyl dragsss . I love the traverse i have first generation, second generation, and this 2020 traverse premiere Love them
This is the 2nd generation......
You missed the relatively deep storage well behind the 3rd row at 3:38
The interior is almost exactly the same as the Buick Enclave (understandably so since they’re all GM owned) but I didn’t expect them to be practical clones of eachother.
Sufyan, it would be awesome to do a Traverse vs Telluride comparison.
I am 6'6" 350 lbs. …. is there enough head and leg room for me?
Should be. I'm a few inches shorter than you, 315 lbs and I had plenty of room.
American auto companies- no matter how much money they throw at a model- just can’t get an interior right.
Lincoln?
Lincoln and Cadillac are pretty good imo, but the Japanese are the best.
@@805NAVE Cadillac does not have nice interiors
Interior is the least of GM's problems.
Ricky Holmes The Explorer is a horrible example whether its platinum or not. They need to get rid of those crappy gauges that have been around forever. And the infotainment system needs a complete overhaul.The Navigator, however, does have a fantastic interior.
Love the car, 🤩
Is the 2019 pretty much the same as the 2020?
You'd a thunk he would have reviewed the premier redline edition, given his channel name
you should review f explorer
I would like to see the third row have it's own electric windows just like the middle windows
Edward St-Pierre. The is no car that has that, idk why you would think EXCLUSIVELY a Traverse would have that? Minivans may have the vent 3rd row windows..... but really it doesn’t do anything. Are you actually stupid or do you just not research?
The Traverse is what most folks could use when they really want the Tahoe/Yukon - and for 25K less. The High Country, while around 54K, is heavily discounted. I've seen them for 9-10K off.
Yup! My husband and i wanted the Tahoe for a while! But now that our family is growing and we dont have much time to save up for it, we are looking into the traverse
Not heavily discounted at all. Its very overpriced
How much???? What is the price???
16:13 Is that the one reliable GM V6 engine that Scotty Kilmer was talking about?
Wtf you are working non-stop lately Sofyan
Full-time car review TH-camr. Gotta pay the bills right? Dude just ditched a Miata and bought himself a Cayman and a dual motor Tesla M3. I'd be working too hahaha
@Yousif Salim good input so he's still paying for an expensive car ty
LMMFAOOOOOOOO
Yousif Salim still paying
Work hard, play hard! :)
I love my 2018 Traverse
For all the features and the price, they might as well have badged it as a Cadillac and add better soft touch materials.
Excellent review.. definitely keeping this one in my top 5 for next year.. decisions decisions lol
Why would thus be on your list? It's terrible
His review saws very positive.
Blake Swan We own a 2018 LT and love it.
I got this high country and honestly, considering my family size (4 and will soon be 5), this is the best family size SUV and best alternative to vans for van haters like me. It does looks nicer when you're physically in/looking at it. My only problem with it is that the lane keep assist does not have an audible alert like in toyotas.
Out of curiosity, what do you hate vans so much? In my eyes, there is no "true" van alternative"unless it can deliver the same amount of amount of utility as a van personally. They're the ultimate hauler/people carriers on the planet, it's a shame that such a silly stigma are driving them to extinction. The newer ones look really nice too, most notably the pacifica and Sedona, which I think look nicer than the Traverse. To each their own I guess.
Take a look at the 2021 Kia Sedona at the very least, minivans today are a far from what they used to be stylistically speaking:

We just traded in our 2011 Traverse for the 2019 Premier. We didn't like the High country because the seats are a hideous color, in our opinion.
We love the new Traverse and can't believe the difference between it and our old one. We love everything about it!
I'm sure the high country seats come in more than 1 color. You can build your car online nowadays
@@DeeeBeee123 yeah I don't know. My husband acted like that was all you could get. Either way, we love the Premier!
Have always wanted to ask you if I may, in regards to chevrolet Vehicles, would you happen to know the reason why Chevrolet did away with the Famous RED bowtie and went with the current Yellow one as it is now, when they had the RED Bowtie, they always had a slogan that went along with it, Beware of the RED Bowtie.........also somthing that SHOULD be added in the those touch screens that pretty much ALL new vehicles have nowdays along with the already Included apps should be Gasbuddy, its actually a pretty good app if you dont know where the next nearest station might be and how much their gas prices actually are.....
Why does it look like an explorer from the side?
