The 2024 Chevrolet Traverse cruises into its third generation with a new, rugged look and a matching off-road-focused trim. The Z71 trim gives Chevy’s mid-size family hauler a more well-rounded lineup with the ability to take family trips off the blacktop and into the wilderness. Although the new trim isn’t designed for rock crawling or extreme trail-going, it has a twin-clutch all-wheel-drive system and 18-inch wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires. It also has a slightly lifted suspension for making off-road obstacles more manageable. If you need a more skilled off-road SUV, check out the 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe. If you’re looking for a model with plenty of interior space, a loaded infotainment system, an extensive list of safety and driver assistance features, and light off-roading abilities, the Traverse is the vehicle for you. Visit us at Walt Massey Chevrolet in Hattiesburg, MS, to take it for a spin.
The Traverse has a long reputation as a go-to vehicle for families, and that’s for good reason. Its three-row interior layout offers room with tons of wiggle space for first and second-row passengers and a split-folding third-row bench seat that allows you to maximize your space for cargo and passengers. The cabin can seat seven or eight passengers depending on your second-row configurations (a bench seat or captain’s chairs). The second-row outboard seats are equipped with full sets of LATCH connectors while all three third-row seats are equipped with tether anchors (a fourth tether anchor is located on the second-row middle seat if you opt for a bench seat). Standard, the Traverse comes with premium cloth upholstery, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel. Leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, a sunroof, and power-adjustable front seats are available. The RS trim features a flat-bottomed steering wheel, Jet Black leather-appointed seats with Red contrast stitching, and one-touch folding second-row and power-folding third-row seats.
When it comes to cargo space, the Traverse has plenty. Behind the third row is 23 cubic feet of storage space as well as a deep, under-floor storage bin. With the third-row seats folded, the space opens up to 57.8 cubic feet. If you need to transport bulkier items, there is a total of 98.2 cubic feet of space with all of the rear seats folded. For easy loading and unloading a height-adjustable power liftgate and a hands-free power liftgate are both available.
The 2024 redesign gives the Traverse a ruggedly handsome exterior with features that vary based on the trim level. The adventure-ready Z71 features tow hooks, Z71 badging, 18-inch high-gloss black wheels, skid plates, and trailering equipment. The sportier RS gets a blacked-out front grille and roof rail, 22-inch high-gloss black wheels, and walk-up animated lights. For a bolder aesthetic, car buyers can opt for the Midnight Edition, which features:
Every model of the 2024 Chevy Traverse is powered by a 328-horsepower 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that generates 326 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard front-wheel drive (all-wheel drive is available). The Traverse Z71 features an off-road-tuned suspension, hill-descent control, and a specialized terrain driving mode for better off-road performance. If you need to tow a camper or other equipment, opt for the Trailering package, which has a max tow rating of 5,000 pounds and comes with:
