The Chevrolet brand of General Motors Co. in Detroit has redesigned from the ground up its all-new 2024 Traverse as a way of improving the brand’s position in the midsize SUV segment.
The 2024 Traverse’s design was changed to offer more truck-like proportions, safety features with families in mind, greater horsepower, and torque from an all-new engine. This was done, says the automaker, so that the new Traverse is positioned to lead in its highly competitive segment and grow its customer base thanks to the new off-road capable Z71 model.
“Our new Traverse is designed and engineered to act and look more like an SUV,” says Scott Bell, vice president, Chevrolet. “Led by the all-new Z71, the 2024 Traverse builds on the success of its predecessor and will undoubtedly enable us to be in more customer driveways.”
The 2024 Traverse will come in four distinct trims — LS, LT, Z71, and RS. These trims are meant to offer customers unique design and greater content choices, with all-new and enhanced safety features and technologies across the lineup.
All models are powered by an all-new 2.5L turbocharged engine that delivers a GM-estimated 315 horsepower and GM-estimated 317 lb.-ft. of torque, delivering more power than the previous models, including a 19 percent increase in torque.
It is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and available all-wheel drive — including an off-road-capable twin-clutch AWD system unique to the Z71. When properly equipped, the new Traverse has a max trailering rating of up to 5,000 pounds.
When it comes to safety and driver assistance technologies, the 2024 Traverse has a host of safety features, starting with standard Chevy Safety Assist — a suite of safety features and driver assistance technologies that includes automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert, following distance indicator, and lane keep assist with lane departure warning.
The all-new 2024 Chevrolet Traverse will be available early 2024, with production to take place at GM’s Lansing Delta Township facility in Michigan7 Additional details, including pricing, will be announced closer to the start of production. More information is available at chevrolet.com.
