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, feature content, and good gas mileage, which makes it especially appealing if you want a family-focused three-row crossover. The overview also frames it as a roomy alternative to a full-size SUV, with broader appeal thanks to its dynamically satisfying character and value-oriented pricing.

Good and great deals account for 27.4% of listings, so you still have room to find a competitive price.

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 dependable-feeling ownership experience centered on spaciousness, features, and good gas mileage, while also noting some concerns about engine noise and potential transmission issues. The expert review adds that the Traverse’s value proposition helps offset average predicted reliability and cost-of-ownership ratings.

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 a low purchase price can be offset by repair exposure if the vehicle has been poorly maintained or shows signs of transmission trouble.

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

At 60.3% 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 pre-purchase inspection, especially if the listing price looks unusually attractive. Focus on body condition, signs of prior repair, and any evidence of drivetrain or transmission concerns, since those are the kinds of issues that can matter most on a used family crossover.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LS is the simplest 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. 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 is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, and AWD is optional. The Traverse is described as having enough power for its size, with a maximum tow rating of 5,200 pounds and fuel economy that is better than a traditional full-size SUV, though not a strong suit compared with smaller crossovers.
• Safety package: OnStar is standard and includes automatic crash response, crisis assist, emergency services, stolen vehicle tracking, turn-by-turn navigation, on-demand diagnostics, remote unlocking, and vehicle-location functions. 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 and music-library access, and customizable home-page icons. Navigation is extra, and a 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 the expert review notes 19 mpg combined driving as the benchmark for the AWD test vehicle.

Which 2014 Chevrolet Traverse trim should I buy?

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

Here's the short version:

• LS: This is the value-focused starting point, but it is also the most basic version and skips some convenience and safety upgrades found higher up the range. It makes sense if you want the lowest entry price and are willing to live with fewer features.
• 1LT: This trim adds a more complete everyday feature set, including aluminum wheels, foglights, remote engine start, rear parking assist sensors, a front-center airbag, and upgraded interior trim. It is the best-value choice if you want a noticeable step up without moving too far up the price ladder.
• 2LT: This is the sweet spot for many shoppers because it adds triple-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, second-row captain’s chairs, a power rear liftgate, Chevrolet MyLink, and a Bose premium audio system. It is the trim to target if you want family-friendly comfort and convenience.
• LTZ: This is the most luxurious version, with leather, ventilated front seats, driver memory, a heated steering wheel, and the full safety suite including side blind-zone alert, lane-departure warning, and forward collision warning. Choose it if you want the most content and are willing to pay for it.

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?

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently but still move quickly on a strong listing.

• Deal availability: 27.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 751 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.11% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 60.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $7,373, 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 $7,590 sits slightly below last year's $8,171.

That softer pricing suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable entry point today. For a future seller, it also means resale value may depend heavily on condition, mileage, and how well the vehicle has been maintained.

Because the Traverse is still drawing interest as a roomy family crossover, a clean example with strong equipment and a good history should remain easier to move than one with accident damage or deferred maintenance.

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 2014 Chevrolet Traverse earns five-star ratings in every NHTSA assessment except rollover resistance, for which it earns a four-star rating. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gives it its highest rating of Good in nearly every test, along with a Basic front crash prevention rating.

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 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 main caveat is that the IIHS had not performed the small-overlap frontal-impact test on this model at the time of the review.

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:

• 27.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 60.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.11% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.6/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The expert review highlights it as roomy, safe, and dynamically satisfying, with full-size SUV space in a more fuel-efficient crossover package.

The bottom line: The 2014 Traverse makes the most sense if you want a spacious, safety-minded family crossover and you value current pricing softness. If you’re shopping on a tighter budget, the lower prices and decent deal availability make this year worth a close look, but you should be especially careful about accident history and overall condition before you commit.
