With roomy seating and cargo space, an awesome intuitive touch screen, a gentle ride, and a powerful V6 engine, the 2022 Chevy Traverse is an excellent option to take home from the Mid-Missouri Powerhouse! It boasts a huge interior with room for up to 8 passengers plus all cargo, and it’s even comfortable to drive on less-than-stellar roads. Though not quite as large and burly as the Tahoe and Suburban, the Traverse is a spacious three-row crossover that underwent a massive facelift for the 2022 model.
This year’s Traverse sees the addition of front and rear-end styling, standard LED headlights and taillights, four new wheel designs, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and newly standard driver-assist safety features. During the Motor Trend drive test, the 2022 Traverse impressed with its remarkably smooth ride characteristics and body control. The standard 310-horsepower V6 and 9-speed automatic offer strong acceleration and smooth and responsive shifts, along with intuitive infotainment that rounds out a well-equipped cabin.
The assortment of included safety content for this year provides automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane keep assist, automatic high beams, and a following distance indicator. Adaptive cruise control is now available on 3LT, RS, and Premier trims, and High Country models. You’ll be enjoying seating for 7 or 8 across three rows, and legroom that measures 41 inches up front, 38.4 inches in the second row, and 33.5 inches for those in the back.
The Traverse offers more cargo space than ANY vehicle in its segment. The space behind the third-row bench is rated at 23.0 cubic feet and expands up to 57.8 and 98.2 cubes with the second and third-row seats folded down. Base models still are equipped with a 7.0-inch touchscreen display with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and higher trims will retain the 8.0-inch system.
Three-row crossovers such as the new Traverse remain competitive and sought-after. The Premier Trim is one of the sweet spots of the lineup, boasting chrome door handles and roof rails, a hands-free liftgate, power-adjustable steering wheel, ventilated front seats, and heated rear seats. The High Country is the peak, featuring trailering enhancements such as the hitch, upgraded system and panoramic sunroof, as well as the power-folding third-row seat.
