I watch many of your videos, but Joe, if you're going to entitle your videos with a (somewhat click baity question), I think you are obligated to answer the question for your viewers. This video provided a good overview of the new Traverse, but the title question was not answered or even really addressed. Thank you for your consideration. Keep up the great work.
Then watch his review on the Kia and you decide which is better
That decision is for YOU to decide. Everyone's taste & wants are a little different. Not everyone is going to feel the same. Depending on what you need and are looking for in a vehicle. If you are in the market...go check out suvs on your own. It is not Joe's job to tell you what to buy, in the end. He is only updating us on what's new and available.
I agree, at the end of all the videos, I'm always like: Well? was it better?
@@marcosa.333 yep, felt same, I just posted above before reading this. Pretty obviously not as good, but whatever...Chevy/GM never going to ever give any of their non super-high end models decent interiors
His question is for us to answer. That’s why I love his channel.
The Kia Telluride Nightfall package is looking at this Traverse and saying, "bring me a challenge somebody"...😂
You are so very right about that Monique!
I went from a Traverse to the Kia Telluride Nightfall edition, and believe me I'll never go back to a Traverse.
I was also there & I got some great tidbits from the Chevy representative on getting some extra upgrades on this traverse. Many thanks to that Rep...and thank you for being there, Raiti!
Dude , I love how you do this whole thing in pretty much one take 🙌🏾👌🏾”chefs kiss”
Nice presentation, Joe. Lori does an awesome job, too! The biggest zonk for me is that only the base models offer a bench in the second row. Captain's chairs make no sense to me. There is a lot of great competition in this space. Ciao, mio amico.
Joe, Lori knows exactly how to shoot a video. Her ability to move in to show us details and to move around the perimeter of the vehicle is second to none. Thank you Lori.
Great review. My wife has the 2021 RS and we love the Traverse. As always,,, Thanks again to Lori for the awesome camera work....!!! You always get the right angles.
Why I love the Raitis - the beginning intro info is awesome and the way Joe talks to the crowd like “it’s hot wiping my sweat” the little conversational pieces. Makes me feel like friends…. Friends who can share a bag of twinkies.
Can't wait to see those headlights and backlights on.
My thoughts exactly
The Traverse looks a lot better than the former design. You and Lori worked your asses off to get us the latest looks of the vehicles. Much appreciated my friend. My wife just bought the new Sorento turbo. Hope she made a good choice. Welcome home Raiti’s family!
Hey Brian! Thanks for saying that! We really appreciate your awesome support! I think your wife made a great choice!
Kia's motors are NOT long lived and have terrible reputations with mechanics. The dealerships hire inexperienced techs because they cant hold onto experienced techs. We were thinking of buying the Telluride. Good thing we didn't with many of them cracking windshields and other problems in the products. They look great but luxury and looks wont help you when it doesn't move, unless you become homeless and live in the vehicle. Watch Scotty Kilmer who is a mechanic, not these you tube commercials for the manufacturer masquerading as reviews. They never say very much that is bad. All the vehicles are always show in a positive light. Most cars are designed to fail as soon as the warranty is up. 10,000 mile oil changes, lifetime transmission fluid? Watch your car explode at 60K.
Looks alot like my wife's 2018 (Premier) Traverse 😒. I love her car. So many features he left out of this review. I was expecting more from Traverse because I was thinking of trading in my Lincoln MKX for one. Guess I will wait till '23 to see what's *New* for the Premier
@@jcinewilliams8819 I guess he didn’t have a lot of time with the vehicle because of all the commotion going on at the time. Good luck with your search. 🙏
@@anthonyrosa5006 Kia is no worse than honda and toyota. Scotty kilmer doesnt know everything. His knowledge of cars is 20 to 30 years behind
Great video of the Chevrolet Traverse and it's a dandy. Thanks Lori you're a great videographer love your work!
We are so glad that you like this Traverse Luis!
I think you should get yourself a water bottle that says, "If you're ready I'm ready" with the logo and then "ZONKMAN" so you can use itm
Joe, you finally made it. My wife said " let's see what he zonks" !!
From what I've seen this has the most cargo space behind the 3rd row and power in its class and uses regular gas with good gas mileage. If you think Suburban etc is a little too big this is perfect. Also if you have toddlers or younger you dont really want too luxurious of an interior.
It looks nice but the interior still looks ok but the jeep and Kia looks more modern.
Agree
The Kia is NOT going to age well tho..
Jeep and kia are both trash
@@francisruiz6849 jeep grand cherokee l is hella nice u good fam?
Let's see which one last longer, I own a gm vehicle with 330k miles and still runs great, I would like to see a Kia doing that
love the review and I agree with your zonks 100% the last 5-6 years Chevy has penny pinched on features where they should take the extra step. By now if you're paying for the top trim on any model, you should have a lcd/led cluster just like how hyundai/kia offer. I have a Bolt EUV reserved but I am inching towards something else. always love the reviews Joe!
Chevy's interiors need more improvement.
I have a 2018 High Country Traverse and the inside is very nice. Two-tone tan leather...
I think they’ve come a long way from previous years. Chevy’s are made for the everyday person, so in other words they’re designed with practicality in mind. If you want something more high end from GM then you would buy a Buick or Cadillac that focuses more on Luxury.
There whole lineup needs improvement they built these Chevys like shit.
Good update! Looks sharper.
They definitely cleaned up the front end of the business.
Best part of this vehicle is the secret compartment behind info screen. I think they put the traverse badge on front doors for the people next to them at a red light, wondering what it is……….oh, it’s a traverse ! 🙂
The secret compartment used to have a USB port in it. I use mine in my 2019 to keep my MP3 player so it's out of my way. No idea why they removed it.
great video! for future reviews can you please start letting us know if the vehicle has a HUD or offers it as an option? additionally let us know if the sideview mirrors have an automatic folding feature.
As a Chevy guy that steering wheel is a major zonk along with that gauge cluster
It's possible to swap a Acadia cluster into it, so it looks better lol
Hey Rait's Rides, I always thought that the chevy traverse needed a redesign because it was get old really fast. And all I want to say is nice review and good job
Agree
@@shane401 thanks you Shane S, for your opinion, and I agree
Nice where is the running board i hope 2nd and 3rd row not small and cramp i hope leather seating i hope it comes with a mini deep freezer for driver and passenger's
Redesigned in 2018.
The thing with Chevy that really makes me mad is that they are always comfortable being mediocre not good but not bad either. They have talent to produce amazing vehicles but they just don’t a lot of the times.
Thanks Joe and Lori for the auto show review. 3-row suv is currently on my radar.
We are so glad that we could bring it to you!
I can't stop looking at that badass looking Silverado in the background lol. This Traverse is pretty good, it's so much cleaner looking than previously. Keep up the great videos Joe, as always!
Joe, the Kia dealership near me has 4 new Tellurides in stock. All 4 of them have a $15,000 dealer mark-up above MSRP and the dealer is refusing to bring the price down. So yeah, I would say the Traverse is a better 3 row mid-size SUV than the Telluride.
I think I'll take whatever is available. No cars even for rent now. Crazy.
I've wanted for decades to have enough cash to buy a car with cash and now it's almost impossible to get what I want without a waiting period.
its because of chip shortages and people stupid enough to buy above msrp. There have been new cars driven 6,000 miles and my nearest dealers in Austin go for above 5,000 at minimum. Some even go as high as 10,000. It's crazy!!
Good review! We bought a 2019 Traverse Premier in Cajun Tin Coat Red! Really turns a lot of heads at the red lights! I don’t think the refresh is that big of a deal, other than a bit more aggressive grill and a little retouches on the tail lights, it still looks like the 2018-2021, certainly not enough of a refresh for me to trade mine for a new one. However, we both love the Traverse, it’s power, ride comfort and room. So far, we’ve been totally satisfied.
Happy new week. Great job
First of all, AWESOME video as always! 😎
Second of all, like every other comment states.. the outside looks amazing! The interior though… mehhhh. If a company truly wants to compete with others you’d THINK that they would put time and money into BOTH the interior and exterior, not just the exterior alone. It blows my mind that Chevy can slap such a high sticker price on this thing with every feature it doesn’t come with! No heads-up-display, no ventilated second row seats, no panoramic sunroof, no front parking sensors. Yikes, I’ll take the new Grand Cherokee please!!
Yup. Interior is boring. I went with a palisade
No way, I was literally searching for the redesign traverse and now I see this!!! Wow, thank you Joe
Samee!!! Well not really but I heard of it!!!
Another good one. Keep up the good work joe!
I like the freshen up,it looks a lot better I was looking at the telluride also I have a Tiguan the lease is ending beginning of next year so need a replacement, the telluride is nice also but there’s a huge mark up on them like 10k or so CRAZY! For a suv so the transverse might be a good option thanks for a great review like always 👍🏼
Thank you! I have a 2018 Traverse that I am ready to trade for a new one. Previously I owned Lexus and BMW cars, and I have to say as much as I'd love an X7 I just can't do it because the Traverse has been an ideal car. I live in northern Utah (snow, mountains, etc.) and this car has been so good for us that I'm definitely in for another one!
One of the most helpful comments I've come across. I was nervous about going from a BMW to a Chevy.
You're completely right on the badging, way too high on the door. The exterior is stylish, but the competition is offering hybrid tech at the same price point. Great review.
Bruh..! I watch your videos (quality aside) because of your energy.. GREAT JOB..!! .. Keep it up..!!!
Loved this! now I’m curious for the the refresh 2022 Chevy Equinox!! I’ve seen many pics online and it looks really good!!
I guess Chevy ain’t looking at what Mazda,Kia and Hyundai offering inside out!
Not at all. GM is lazy
@@Ballista762 🥺
It's a much bigger vehicle, if they were to add a more luxurious interior it would be priced out of its segment.
@@im2fast4u711 which vehicles do they compete with in the market?
@@curiosityredpill7030 the ones you just mentioned. GM has 4 vehicles in the overall 3 row mid size suv segment. The traverse, the acadia, the enclave and now the xt6. The chevy and gmc directly compete with the vehicles you mentioned while the buick and cadillac would be entry luxury 3 row suv. Imo the telluride and palisade in their top trims could compete in the entry level luxury category but chose to keep them in this segment which is the most popular. It was a smart move on their part and they're a steal at their price. But if you need something larger than the rest, with 3 rows with storage for 3 rows of people and don't want a minivan the traverse can give you that.
really liking the interior, steering wheel needs some work though. Love the little compartments in the door panel too !
Was looking at Traverse and Pathfinder. Wound up buying the Pathfinder. Was a great value, the driving experience felt more refined than any Traverse I’ve driven, the interior on the Platinum is pretty high quality, it’s manageable for the family and easy to drive in tight spaces, and it has loads of storage. It just works.
We used to be a Chevy and Ford family. To each their own, but totally happy with the 2022 Pathfinder. It checked all of our boxes.
Man Joe you're a beast filming all these great car reviews at the Chicago Auto show.
They definitely nailed it on the head with exterior. But could have done more wit the interior. Overall looking good!
Still one of the largest 3-row crossovers in the segment.
This is so very true Norm! Good call!
It’s sooo much bigger than anything else in its price range. Especially with the captain’s chairs. I can easily walk to the back to help a kid get buckled. I love it.
@@ashleyrodriguez4950 we have the prior generation GMC Acadia and you can literally walk around the captain chairs without collapsing them to get in and out! It is huge!
Signed Jose Canseco ball 😂😂
Great review Joe thanks
My boy Joe keep up the work and I love the video lot real true 💯
9:23 You missed your chance to say that you might have to deflate the football a little bit for it to fit!
Where were you when I was filming! Lol
I like the changes to the exterior. Why couldn’t you turn it on to accessory without starting it to show the info screen and gauges? Thanks for sharing it Joe. Nicely done and Lori’s the best! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
No key
@@btbcc12859 Yes @ 10:44. I guess you didn’t watch it all.
@@LS1007 yeah I just got to that part. I jumped the gun, 😢
@@btbcc12859 👍🏻
Great review as usual thank you
Welcome to my native hometown, Joe and Lori.. Enjoy BE SAFE. Sorry, I missed you guys BUT I had to be WAY out in the burbs far from Chicago. .The Traverse seems, looks better!Thnks for bringing this to us guys!RIDE ON! See you on another ride!LORI YOU ARE THE BEST!!
The Chevy Traverse just screams middle-aged suburbia to me. It will be in rental car fleets in no time.
@Virgil White It's the styling. It's not remembering at all. Kia Telluride is more innovative with its Range Rover-esque styling. That vehicle is so on demand right now. I'm a millennial with no kids and I even want to Kia Telluride. That's says a lot if it's attracting younger buyers as well. The Traverse doesn't appeal to the masses. That's just my opinion. 🤷
@@jraheemjefcoat429 !!! My wife loves it & I absolutely love it, great car and I’m only 21. Super spacious compared to traverse even tho the traverse is bigger if I’m not mistaken. But the telluride offers more modern and open design with more well lit color patterns, I feel as if all chevys are only black interior.. major zonk
Interior is not anywhere near the new Jeep Grand Cherokee. Looks excellent but the interior sucks.
👍 traverse interior plastic city.. we recently compared a travers high country, Buick Enclave avenir and a GMC Acadia… we bought the Acadia but dam shame imo that gmc doesn’t make a larger traverse sized vehicle with the Acadia interrior
I agree. The interior is quite bland!
"Ez pz lemon squeezy and boom there you go make yourself some lemonade" Joe you're killing me with these LOL. This is why you're our favorite car reviewer: knowledgeable, fun, energetic and really down to earth, keep up the great work man you're great!
Agreed Andre.
Great review as always
I don't know how much Jeep invested for the Grand Cherokee L, but their interior is killing all mid 3rd rows. Can't get past it
But jeeps are so expensive compared to the leaders in the segment
I just purchased a Jeep Grand Cherokee L Limited 4x4 in Black diamond out the door for 47,500 love it interior is amazing. I looked at the GMC Acadia I got more and nicer with jeep for around the same price.
@@philipharris8027 what? where? lol im in nyc, 55,000 minimum here.
Yes my favorite! Even the base is nicer than this Chevy premier
@@ekonezi5588 exactly...
I’m not a GM guy but Chevy did a great Job
I am so glad that you like this one Miguel.
Thanks for pointing out the Twinkie and Yoohoo holders in the door. I would have missed those for sure!
I’ve always liked looking at vehicles even when I was little I’m 18 now can’t drive but still love looking at new cars
Great Joe, Chevrolet. Styling is more sleek, and the interior is better than before, especially the instrument cluster and seats. Great review, Joe 👍
It literally looks the same from the last gen
The chevy keeps it classic yet modern at the same time its plain and all but sheeshh the exterior looks fire🔥🔥🔥🔥
@Y O Same as Stellantis and Ford, most of their vehicles looks the same.
@Elitezer Soldier Yup
As good as the Telluride???? Please!
Can't touch the Nightfall package...😂
Right team telluride and I’m not really a truck person
Have you ever driven a Traverse? If not then sit down.
@@matthewlocke9225 Yes, I have…. and that’s why I don’t drive one…
I will take this over the Telluride any day of the week!
Very good update! 👍🏾👍🏾
Almost 600k subscribers and still takes the time to read comments and reply. Awesome
I love watching your reviews. You make any car sound like it was the best vehicle ever made
Interesting how this midsize 3 row suv has more interior room than some full size suvs.
I know right! It is all about how they are laid out.
@@RaitisRides like a mini van smh that a mini van 🤦🏽♂️ GM🤦🏽♂️
Right it’s almost 2 inches longer then the ‘19 Tahoe, Yukon, and Escalade.
Body on frame suvs have less interior room than unibody suvs like this
They can call it an SUV, but it is a crossover. So, it is a large crossover.
Nice looking vehicle. And redesign.
Thank you Joe.
Enjoy your reviews. News of a GMC Acadia going back to the size of the 2016 of which I loves but the new ones were made too small. Keep up the good work
Love the heated steering wheel. Can’t wait to use it in Vegas! 😂😂
Thanks for the video Joe! I still don't see it better than the Telluride, especially at the value you get (assuming you get it at a dealership that won't charge and arm and a leg). Finally will be on the search for my Telluride. Any dealerships you recommend here in the Chicago area? I was planning on heading to the auto show but then I asked myself... "Why? If I already know I'm going to pick Telluride"
@@handlemycomments yeah got it last Saturday
I have the new 2022 Traverse. I have the black Premier redline edition. Super sporty! My two dislikes- and they aren’t a major dealbreaker are the moonroof lacking a power shade like my last suv. And I hate that the only cup holders in the 2nd row are in the door. Not major issues, so no big deal. Driving it has been great. A smooth, comfortable ride with plenty of power and that redline edition is turning heads. It’s beautiful.
Well done 👍 Joe
Gonna go with the 2022 pathfinder
I really like that SUV a lot!
@@RaitisRides thanks for making the videos of them to help me make up my mind.
You'll save your self thousands even more if you go with the highlander or pilot.
Thanks Joe for the review 👍 I like the pathfinder 2022 let's see if it comes in Hybrid
Good vid, Raiti's does it again.
Love Chevy, love my equinox, love this new traverse. Everything Chevy is coming out with these days is a major home run. Love the videos.
Except they don't last. I got 130,000 miles our of my equinox and 167,000 out of my diesel suburban. Both engines wore out with oil changes at 2500 miles.
I’d rather have my Jim Brown autographed football.😂😂
I work at a dealer I’m gonna bring this up.You are correct on the decal.My dealer might have an edge if we reposition name plate
Just sold my 2019 Red Line Traverse off a 3 year lease. I like the exterior refresh, but the interior is dated compared to the competition. Now I am driving the 2022 Genesis GV70. Joe, you are the best!
Hey Jeff! Thanks so much for the support! You did it right with the GV70.
@@RaitisRides I left a comment on your review of the GV70. Thanks to you I am lovin what I am drivin!
I just wish Chevrolet would put the interior of the new Tahoe in this. We know they can make excellent interiors, but this one is just average.
We're at a unique time where I keep thinking that this could be the last gas version of any all new model coming out.
It is a major transition period. I am holding on for dear life!
@@RaitisRides LoL
I just traded in my 2017 Traverse for a Cadillac xt5. And that is exactly what I thought......possible my last gas vehicle. I'm 67 so if my health remains good I can see myself in an EV in my mid 70's. I actually looked into them this go around but charging stations not that great imo right now. In a few years probably much better. And by then I probably won't be traveling as much out of town and at home charging will take of my needs 90% of the time. As far as this Traverse goes.....it indeed looks better than the 2018 to 2020 versions. Mine was the last of the sloping design which really looked dated.
Agreed
I've watched many of your videos! I love that you are honest, which is why I trust your reviews on a car. Now yhat we are in 2023, how do you find the Traverse? How reliable are they?
Nice video thanks! So what did this SUV price out as shown?
If roof vents aren’t your favorite location then what is? I would think that’s a better location than the center console since roof vents hit you directly.
I really like the grill more in this car more
Some crossovers Like Volvo have the rear A/C vents in the pillars right in front of the rear doors, that's my preference too.
Looks really good honestly
Major props to you and Lori for putting in major work at the Chicago Auto Show
another great review.
Looks much better
Yeah, my family has always been chevy people, but I'm tired of them playing it safe and boring.
Stop buying trash
GM products are trash and so is the company.
1000% agree, jlozano2014!! My heart is Chevy but my driveway will be old school Chevy and Kia Telluride lol
Yeah, growing up, my Dad drove Caddy's, kept Mom in the top Chevy, usually an Impala. Chevy's were always stylish and up to date....less expensive than the other GM offerings..... Pontiac, Buick, Olds, Cadillac....Chevy sold more than their siblings....the public SAW more of them....and as a teen, you could just DO more with a Chevy for less..... can't really say what went wrong, but I miss my days as a GM/Chevy guy.....an Acura guy now.
@@raymondtuckerjr1886 I was Acura for so many years until they quit making two doors. Gave my 03 CL Type-S to my daughter a couple years ago. No sign of them getting back into coupes and I can't spend the money for an NSX lol
I love my 2019 Traverse and was actually thinking about purchasing a 2022. I paid cash for my 2019 with only 10 miles on it; money well spent.... Traverse all the way.
I like how the hood struts were a big point, I mean its a chevy you're going to have the hood open alot so I guess its nice
I love the new styling direction Chevy has taken.........thanks Joe and Lori.
It's nice but definitely I will chose the Kia Telluride 😍
I got both
Traverse better feel
Good review! I’ve been a Chevy van since the 70s but I have bought my last one! I never thought I would say this, but goodbye GM!
You are probably the funniest car guy out there !!!! I love your style… even if the car isn’t top notch… you bring a certain accent that is really entertaining… There is only one thing missing here: Micky Mouse :) That would really put you over the top!
Chevy Traverse on throttle tiiiiiiiime!!! Yeeeeeeeeeessssssss maaaaaaaan!!! Thanks a million for bringing us these epic reviews from Chicago, Joe and Lori!!!

Greetings from Arizona Joe.
Has there been any new news on the 2022 Silverado? I’m waiting to get a 2021 trail boss to see if I should go with the 2022
Lo que tanto estuve esperando ❤️🥳 cuando esta disponible en Perú?
Being a GM fan is so painful. Every new model or "refresh" is a let down 90% of the time. Subpar materials, borrowed components and incohesive design is the theme year after year. Also, when will Chevy revamp their emblem?? The bulky gold bowtie has needed to go for years!!
100% agree. But why the bowtie ?
I feel the same way, very bland interior design.
@@trollwaffen1248 The bowtie needs a redesign, it needs to be more modern and clean. Kia understood this and hit a home run for 2022, this small change plays a significant role in the overall design and marketing.
The interior is literally identical to the 2018-2020 model, just the headlights grill and some styling is all that’s changed
Let's go GM!!🔥🔥🔥 NOW the front end is looking nice matching with the rear end whooohooo!!!! Thanks for making this video for us JOE!!!
Another great Review.
If the Telluride is the New Normal of midsize suvs, the competition simply cannot compare with it.
The traverse is a hunked-up Malibu, whereas the Telluride is a mini Range Rover.
Well, have fun replacing that korean p.o.s. Engine when it blows up on you after 80,000 miles. 😂😂😂 Kia and Hyundai are cheap for a reason!
The exterior of this new Traverse looks great. Here’s why it certainly doesn’t “trump the Telluride”: GM’s build quality is pathetic. Also, this car hasn’t been updated with enough new technology and luxury to begin to compare to the Telluride.
Pay attention www.kiatellurideforums.com/forums/2020-kia-telluride-problems-and-issues.33/ My wife was jonesing for a Telluride but I decided to go for the 4Runner. Not because of luxury which the Telluride looks great but because the Toyota is in the top 10 most dependable, longest lasting and highest resale SUVs out there. No its not new, and that's a good thing. There are zero issues and engineering defects. Many run past 300,000 miles. I doubt many cars other than Honda and Toyota can routinely make that claim. Certainly not Kia. If you want luxury buy the lexus, tough 4wd with luxury. Yea both of these can be costly and used ones are almost as expensive as new for the first 5 years. That should tell you that they are worth the cost. Kias loose value REALLY fast. My wife isn't complaining about the 4Runner and does not miss the Telluride.
