Overview

What's New for 2024

The 2024 Chevrolet Traverse Limited is available in six trim levels: LS, LT Cloth, LT Leather, RS, Premier, and High Country. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is available on every trim. Our pick for the best value and features is the LT Leather. We'll explain why below.

LS

The LS is the entry-level model, starting at $35,915 (including $1,395 destination). It comes with 18-inch alloy wheels, a backup camera, tinted glass, LED headlights, heated power-adjustable exterior mirrors, proximity keyless unlock, keyless start, dual-zone climate control, cruise control, a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Bluetooth, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and USB ports in all three rows.

LT Cloth

The LT Cloth ($38,440) adds an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat with lumbar control, second-row captain's chairs (reducing seating capacity to seven), a leather-wrapped steering wheel, roof rails, and the availability of a sunroof and a power-operated liftgate. The standard safety package includes rear park assist, lane-change alert with side blind-spot alert, and rear cross-traffic alert.

LT Leather

The LT Leather ($41,865) has the best combination of features for the price. Not only does it have leather seats, it also has a larger 8-inch touchscreen, a programmable rear liftgate, a six-way power-adjustable passenger seat, a universal home remote, wireless phone charging, and a 4.2-inch driver information display.

RS

Shoppers looking to add sportiness should consider the RS model. The RS ($46,440) adds blacked-out exterior accents, including 20-inch dark aluminum wheels, black trim, and active aero shutters. It also has a standard power liftgate, 120-volt power outlet, adaptive cruise control, and a premium 10-speaker Bose audio system.

Premier

The Premier ($48,595) trades the sporty appearance of the RS for more luxury. Dual exhaust outlets and 20-inch machined aluminum wheels are among the exterior highlights. The Premier has soft, perforated leather seating in the first and second rows. An 8-inch color driver information center highlights the interior upgrades. Auto-dimming mirrors, chrome body accents, a motion-activated rear liftgate, a power tilt-and-telescoping steering column, a surround-view camera, and navigation are also offered.

High Country

The top-of-the-line High Country ($53,395) is filled with upgrades. Included are perforated-leather seats, 20-inch polished wheels, a Bose premium audio system, a panoramic sunroof, and power-folding third-row seats. A surround-view monitor, heavy-duty cooling, hitch guidance with hitch view, and a trailering package are standard.

This Chevy’s fuel economy is about average for its class. The Environmental Protection Agency says the front-wheel-drive 2024 Traverse Limited will deliver an estimated 18 mpg during city driving and 27 mpg on the highway. All-wheel drive lowers the estimates by 1 mpg in combined city/highway driving.

The Honda Pilot is rated higher in city driving. The Toyota Grand Highlander is estimated to achieve 20-21 mpg in city driving and 26-28 mpg on the highway with the base four-cylinder gas turbo engine. With front-wheel drive, the V6-powered Kia Telluride and Hyundai Palisade are rated at 20/26 mpg city/highway.

The Chevrolet Traverse Limited is one of the roomiest crossovers in the midsize segment. Many of its competitors, including the Ford Explorer, have less passenger and cargo space. The Chevy has a roomy 23 cubic feet of cargo space behind its third row and a whopping 98.2 cubic feet with its second and third rows folded flat. The rival Kia Telluride offers 17 cubic feet of space and 87 cubic feet with the third row folded down.

For hauling a lot of people and stuff in a midsize SUV, the Traverse Limited is an excellent choice. It provides plenty of headroom and legroom in the second row and a child-friendly third row. The second-row seats slide back and forth for additional versatility and convenience, but third-row access could be better.

Chevrolet's infotainment systems are among the easiest to use in the industry, rivaling the Uconnect systems from Dodge and Jeep. The Traverse Limited's 7- and 8-inch touchscreens have large, easy-to-identify icons. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard on every trim. RS, Premier, and High Country trims get a standard 8-inch touchscreen system with integral navigation. That combination is also available on the LT Leather trim.

Some vehicles in the class have larger display screens. If size matters to you, the Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride come with a 12.3-inch touchscreen.

All Traverse Limited models can connect up to seven devices to the built-in Wi-Fi hotspot. The standard Teen Driver system lets parents set controls and review their teen's driving habits. The 10-speaker Bose audio system has a subwoofer in the center console, providing impressive sound quality. It is standard on RS, Premier, and High Country and offered as an option on the LT Leather trim.

The 2024 Chevrolet Traverse Limited has not been rated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), but the identical 2023 Chevy Traverse received a rating of four out of five stars. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has not rated the Traverse Limited, but the identical 2022 Traverse received top Good ratings in six of eight crashworthiness categories.

The Chevrolet Traverse Limited offers a long list of safety and driver-assist features. The Chevy Safety Assist package is available on the LS and is standard on all of the higher-level trims. It includes rear parking assist, lane-change alert with side blind-spot alert, and rear cross-traffic alert. Adaptive cruise control and enhanced automatic emergency braking are standard on the RS, Premier, and High Country. Both systems are available on the LT Leather trim. The Traverse Limited has available high-definition surround-view cameras and a rear camera mirror to aid parking.

On the strength of its roomy interior, robust standard horsepower, and wide range of trims, the 2024 Chevrolet Traverse Limited will suit many buyers. The Traverse Limited isn't the flashiest vehicle in the segment, but it delivers plenty of interior room and versatility. Similarly sized options include the Volkswagen Atlas and Honda Pilot. If you're looking for a sportier model, the smaller Ford Explorer ST, with its 400-horsepower turbocharged V6, is an excellent choice.
