Used Chevy Traverse for Sale

The History of the Traverse

The Chevrolet Traverse is a midsize SUV that was first introduced to the US market in 2008 to help GM compete in the diverse and extensive midsize SUV segment. The three rows and great cargo space gave drivers lots of flexibility when it came to hauling the family or cargo like sports gear, work materials, or moving boxes. The first generation of the Traverse spans from 2008 to 2011. This might feel like a while ago, but the Traverse was an SUV that was ahead of its time, offering seating for seven, something often only available in large SUVs. The second and third-row seats were designed to be easily folded down to take advantage of the interior space.

The capable SUV was also powered by a powerful V6 engine, which gave it some rugged abilities when it came to tackling different terrains like dirt roads or snowy streets. Drivers could opt for front-wheel or all-wheel drive. The dash featured intuitive controls, including an infotainment system to access the Traverse's technology and settings. It was hassle-free to program preferred temperature levels, make a few updates, and create a relaxing driving experience. While this generation enjoyed praise from drivers, it wasn't until the future generation that the Traverse would really reach its potential.

The second generation of the Traverse lasted from 2012 to 2017, and 2017 was one of the model's most popular years. In 2017, the Traverse was awarded a 5-star safety rating from the NHTSA, which helped instill further confidence in drivers. The second generation was also given a complete facelift so that it resembled a modern version of the older traverse models, with swooping exterior lines, a lower bumper, and more circular lamps. Overall, the second generation of Traverse looked sleeker and sportier than ever.

Inside, the new generation still offers the same flexible cabin with seating for seven, folding seats, and plenty of space to accommodate diverse lifestyles. The tech was given an upgrade with a new 6.5-inch screen that was supported by the MyLink infotainment system and centered on the dash for convenience. As for performance, the Traverse continued to be offered with a steady and capable V6 engine and options for front-wheel or all-wheel drive.

The third generation is where the Traverse took off and really showed what it could do. This generation ran from 2017 to 2020, so if you're buying a pre-owned model, more modern tech will come at a price that won't hurt your wallet. The Traverse elevated its urban chic appeal with new LED headlamps and a bold grille design. The Traverse was also designed to be slightly larger than past models which meant a slight increase in leg room for passengers thanks to the wider wheelbase.

In keeping with the times, passengers enjoyed USB ports across all three rows, so it was easy and convenient to power up and charge tablets, phones, and laptops no matter where they were seated. The Traverse was also upgraded with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. The engine lineup was expanded to include both a V6 and a new 2.0L turbocharged option. Both engines were mated with a 9-speed automatic transmission plus available all-wheel or four-wheel drive.

Rounding the Traverse is the fourth and current generation that began in 2020 and continues today. The latest Traverse models are curated to elevate the modern driver's experience behind the wheel. The headlights were extended and sculpted into strips while the grille was reshaped, adding a new aggressive appeal to the sporty SUV. Inside tech was upgraded, and the safety package lineup was expanded.

The powertrain was streamlined to offer a single engine paired with all-wheel drive. This gave the Traverse a capable standard that made it an excellent buy for drivers who wanted convenience and performance without having to pay extra. The 2021 was highlighted as one of the best of the generation so far, earning a Top Safety Pick title from the IIHS. This makes it a valuable machine for drivers searching for a safe, modern vehicle for their families.
