Is the 2014 Chevrolet Traverse reliable?

Owners rate it 4.6/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a vehicle that many shoppers can count on for spaciousness, features, and good gas mileage, which supports the case for dependable everyday use. The expert evaluation also notes that the Traverse can offset average predicted reliability and cost-of-ownership ratings with its value proposition and savings off sticker price.

Chevrolet also includes free scheduled maintenance for 2 years or 24,000 miles, which helps reduce early ownership costs. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that some owners have reported engine noise and possible transmission issues, so a careful pre-purchase inspection matters.

What should I look for when buying a used 2014 Chevrolet Traverse?

At 57.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a thorough inspection of bodywork, safety systems, and drivetrain behavior. Because this model is often bought as a family hauler, condition matters a lot: you want to know whether the vehicle has been maintained well and whether any prior damage could affect long-term ownership.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LS is the entry point, while the 1LT adds aluminum wheels, foglights, remote engine start, rear parking assist sensors, a front-center airbag, and nicer trim inside and out. The 2LT adds triple-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, second-row captain’s chairs, a universal garage door opener, auto-dimming mirrors, a power rear liftgate, Chevrolet MyLink technology, and a Bose premium audio system. The LTZ is the most fully equipped, with leather seats, ventilated front seats, memory settings, a heated steering wheel, blind-zone alert, lane-departure warning, forward collision warning, chrome exterior trim, and 20-inch wheels.
• Powertrain: A 3.6-liter V6 makes between 281 and 288 horsepower depending on trim, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard and AWD is optional, and the setup is described as surprisingly dynamic while still capable of towing up to 5,200 pounds.
• Safety package: OnStar is standard, along with a reversing camera and automatic crash response, crisis assist, and emergency services. Rear parking assist sensors come with the 1LT and 2LT, while forward collision alert and lane-departure warning are optional on the LT2 and standard on the LTZ. Side blind-zone alert is standard only on the LTZ.
• Infotainment: Chevrolet MyLink uses a 6.5-inch color touchscreen and includes Bluetooth streaming audio, Internet radio access, phonebook and music-library access, and customizable home-page icons. A navigation system is extra, and the rear-seat DVD system adds a single rear screen, wireless headphones, a Bose 5.1 Surround Sound audio system, and video-game input jacks.
• Fuel efficiency: The review notes that the Traverse averaged 17.8 mpg in testing, and it is described as more fuel-efficient than a traditional big SUV.

Which 2014 Chevrolet Traverse trim should I buy?

The 2014 Chevrolet Traverse is offered in 4 trim levels: LS, 1LT, 2LT, and LTZ.

Here's the short version:

• LS: This is the value-focused starting point, but it misses some of the convenience and safety upgrades found higher up the range. It makes sense if you want the lowest entry price and are comfortable keeping the equipment list simple.
• 1LT: This is the first trim that meaningfully improves everyday livability with features like remote start, rear parking assist sensors, and nicer interior trim. It’s a strong step up if you want a better-equipped Traverse without going all the way to the top.
• 2LT: This is the best-value choice for many shoppers because it adds major family-friendly upgrades such as triple-zone climate control, heated front seats, second-row captain’s chairs, a power liftgate, MyLink, and a Bose audio system.
• LTZ: This is the most luxurious and safety-rich version, with leather, ventilated front seats, memory settings, a heated steering wheel, and the full driver-assistance suite. Choose it if you want the most premium Traverse experience and are willing to pay for it.

Safety-package note: forward collision alert and lane-departure warning are optional on the LT2 and standard on the LTZ, while side blind-zone alert is standard only on the LTZ.

What is the 2014 Chevrolet Traverse's resale value?

The current average of $7,211 sits slightly below last year's $8,007.

That decline suggests the Traverse has become more affordable for used buyers, which can make it easier for a future seller to attract interest at the right price. If you buy well and keep the vehicle in strong condition, you may be able to limit further depreciation pressure.

The model’s value story is helped by its family-friendly space, strong feature set, and broad appeal to shoppers who want SUV-like utility without moving to a truck-based SUV. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.6/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard safety equipment includes a reversing camera and OnStar services with automatic crash response, crisis assist, and emergency services. Rear parking assist sensors come with the 1LT and 2LT, while forward collision alert and lane-departure warning are optional on the LT2 and standard on the LTZ. Side blind-zone alert is standard only on the LTZ.

Should I buy a 2014 Chevrolet Traverse or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2014 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2014 if:

• 29.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 57.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.94% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.6/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2014 stands out for its roomy family-crossover packaging, strong safety performance, and value-oriented pricing.

The bottom line: If you want a spacious three-row crossover with strong safety credentials and a lower used price, the 2014 is a compelling choice. If you’re especially price-sensitive, this year’s softened market and broad inventory make it a smart one to target; if you want newer tech, a nearby model year may be worth considering.

How does the 2014 Chevrolet Traverse compare to the 2014 GMC Acadia?

Our experts score the 2014 Chevrolet Traverse 7.7/10 and the 2014 GMC Acadia 7/10.

The Traverse gives you a lower average used price and more listings to shop, which can make it the easier value play. The Acadia has a slightly higher horsepower figure and a marginally better accident-free share, but the Traverse’s stronger expert score and broader family-focused appeal make it the more compelling pick for many used buyers.
