Is the 2014 Chevrolet Traverse a good car?

Yes — the 2014 Chevrolet Traverse earns a 4.6/5 user rating and a 7.67/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Performance and Safety.

Owners consistently praise its spaciousness, multitude of features, and good gas mileage, which lines up well with its family-focused, three-row use case. The Traverse is positioned as a roomy crossover that gives you full-size SUV space with a more fuel-efficient package, so it makes sense if you want people-moving practicality without stepping up to a traditional SUV. With 28.2% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market still offers some attractive opportunities.

Is the 2014 Chevrolet Traverse reliable?

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

The owner feedback also points to a generally dependable-feeling ownership experience, with praise centered on spaciousness, features, and good gas mileage. On the road, the Traverse is described as stout and unexpectedly athletic, which supports the sense that it can be a vehicle you can count on for everyday family duty. Chevrolet also includes free scheduled maintenance for 2 years or 24,000 miles, which helps reduce early ownership friction.

That said, some owners mention engine noise and potential transmission issues, so a careful pre-purchase inspection matters if you want to reduce long-term ownership risk.

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

At 61% 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 equipment, and drivetrain behavior. Because some owners mention engine noise and possible transmission issues, it makes sense to focus on how the vehicle starts, shifts, and drives under load. You should also confirm that the safety and convenience features you want are actually present on the trim you’re considering.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LS is the most basic version, 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 with rear-seat audio controls and headphone jacks. The LTZ adds leather seats, ventilated front seats, memory for the driver’s settings, an 8-way power adjustable front passenger’s seat, a heated steering wheel, a side blind-zone alert system, a lane-departure warning system, a forward collision warning system, chrome exterior trim, and 20-inch aluminum wheels.
• Powertrain: A 3.6-liter V6 engine makes between 281 and 288 horsepower depending on trim, and a 6-speed automatic transmission is standard. Front-wheel drive is standard, all-wheel drive is optional, and the Traverse can tow up to 5,200 pounds.
• Safety package: OnStar is standard and includes automatic crash response, crisis assist, emergency services, stolen vehicle tracking, turn-by-turn navigation, on-demand diagnostics assessments, remote unlocking, and vehicle location features. Rear parking assist sensors are included on the 1LT and 2LT, while forward collision alert and lane-departure warning are standard on the LTZ and optional on the LT2. The side blind-zone alert system 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 contacts, and music libraries. A navigation system is available, and the rear-seat DVD entertainment system adds a single rear screen, wireless headphones, a Bose 5.1 Surround Sound audio system, and video-game input jacks.
• Fuel efficiency: The Traverse is described as more fuel-efficient than a traditional big SUV, and a week in an LTZ AWD returned 17.8 mpg. The EPA estimate cited for that setup is 19 mpg in combined driving.

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 starting point if you want the Traverse’s core space and V6 power at the lowest entry price. It gives you the basics, but you miss out on several convenience and safety upgrades that arrive on higher trims, including rear parking assist sensors and the more advanced driver-assistance features.
• 1LT: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds a useful mix of everyday upgrades, including aluminum wheels, foglights, remote engine start, rear parking assist sensors, a front-center airbag, and nicer interior and exterior trim.
• 2LT: Choose this if you want a more family-friendly setup, especially the triple-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, second-row captain’s chairs, power rear liftgate, Chevrolet MyLink, and Bose audio system.
• LTZ: This is the most fully equipped version, with leather seats, ventilated front seats, memory settings, a heated steering wheel, and the most complete safety package, including side blind-zone alert, lane-departure warning, and forward collision warning.

The LTZ is the only trim with the side blind-zone alert system, while forward collision alert and lane-departure warning are standard on LTZ and optional on LT2.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2014 Chevrolet Traverse?

• Inventory: There are 783 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.62% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $7,351.39, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2014 Chevrolet Traverse's resale value?

The current average of $7,537 sits slightly below last year's $8,159.

That price movement suggests the Traverse has already absorbed some of its near-term depreciation, which can help future sellers if they buy at the right price today. If you keep mileage, condition, and equipment strong, you may be better positioned to recover value later than a buyer who overpays now. The current market also shows enough inventory to let you be selective rather than rushing into a weak deal.

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.

Is the 2014 Chevrolet Traverse safe?

The Traverse earns five-star ratings for every NHTSA assessment except rollover resistance, for which it rates four stars. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gives it its highest rating of Good in nearly every test, combined with a Basic front crash prevention rating.

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

The Traverse comes standard with a reversing camera and OnStar services, including automatic crash response, crisis assist, and emergency services. Rear parking assist sensors are included on the 1LT and 2LT, while forward collision alert and lane-departure warning are standard on the LTZ and optional on the LT2. The side blind-zone alert system is standard only on the LTZ.

The forward collision warning system can occasionally deliver false alerts, and the lane-departure warning system sometimes fails to read lane markings, so you should treat those features as helpful but not flawless.

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:

• 28.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 61% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.62% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.6/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2014 stands out for its roomy, safe, and dynamically satisfying character, plus its lower maximum tow rating than a traditional SUV but still useful towing ability.

The bottom line: If you want a roomy family crossover with strong safety credentials and a market that still offers meaningful discounts, the 2014 Traverse is the better path to start with. If you’re especially price-sensitive, focus on the best-maintained example you can find and use the current softness in pricing to negotiate hard.
