How much does the 2022 Chevrolet Traverse cost?

Prices have softened 12.28% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 6,155 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

If you find a listing below $25,352.74, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2022 Chevrolet Traverse a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Chevrolet Traverse earns a 4.86/5 user rating and a 7.17/10 expert rating.

The standout strength is Technology at 9/10.

Owners consistently praise the spacious interior, large cargo area, and comfortable seating, and they also highlight the powerful engine and helpful safety features. The same feedback points to a family-friendly SUV that feels easy to live with day to day. On the other hand, some owners wish for more advanced driving tech, and fuel economy comes up as a compromise.

From an expert perspective, the Traverse fits buyers who want three-row utility without stepping up to a larger, truck-based SUV. The trade-offs are clear: it can be noisy, it floats more than you may want on rough pavement, and the interior materials feel cheap.

The model’s 32.3% good-or-great deal share suggests there are still worthwhile listings to find if you shop carefully.

Is the 2022 Chevrolet Traverse reliable?

Owners rate it 4.86/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback also points to a powerful engine, a spacious cabin, and a generally trouble-free ownership experience, with the kind of comfort and practicality that helps you count on it for family duty. Expert testing also describes the drivetrain as well matched to the Traverse’s size, with predictable handling and a setup that feels easy to trust in everyday use.

Chevrolet also includes a first scheduled maintenance visit on the house, which helps reduce early ownership costs.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about outright failure and more about whether the vehicle was maintained well and driven gently enough to avoid wear-related issues.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Chevrolet Traverse?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 82.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any candidate, even if the listing looks clean at first glance. A pre-purchase inspection matters here because the Traverse’s ride quality and interior condition can vary a lot from one example to the next. Focus especially on signs of hard use, cabin wear, and whether the vehicle feels as composed over bumps as it should.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base LS starts with front-wheel drive and the least upscale presentation, while higher trims add more polish and equipment. The RS sits above the LS and LT models, and the Premier and High Country trims bring the most upscale feel.
• Powertrain: You get a single 3.6-liter V6 with 310 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. Fuel economy is 20 mpg in combined driving for AWD models, and the test vehicle returned 20.9 mpg on the evaluation loop.
• Safety package: Chevy Safety Assist is standard and includes forward-collision warning, pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, automatic high-beam headlights, and a following-distance indicator. The optional Safety Package for the LS adds rear parking assist sensors, blind-spot monitoring, lane-change assist, and rear cross-traffic alert; those features are standard on other trims.
• Infotainment: LS and LT Cloth models get a 7-inch touchscreen, while other versions get an 8-inch high-definition display. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, Bluetooth supports two smartphones at once, and the system includes connected services and a WiFi hotspot. OTA capability is not mentioned.
• Fuel efficiency: The official EPA fuel economy rating for a Traverse AWD is 20 mpg in combined driving, and the test vehicle returned 20.9 mpg on the evaluation loop.

Which 2022 Chevrolet Traverse trim should I buy?

The 2022 Chevrolet Traverse is offered in 5 trim levels: LS, LT Cloth, RS, Premier, High Country.

Here's the short version:

• Base trim: The LS is the most stripped-down choice, and it’s the one most likely to leave you wanting more if you care about convenience and safety extras. Its optional Safety Package adds important driver-assistance features that are standard elsewhere.
• Sweet-spot trim: The RS is the most compelling all-around pick if you want a nicer look and more equipment without going all the way to the top. It adds a more distinctive appearance, a larger touchscreen setup, and more available convenience and safety tech.
• Premium/top trim: Premier and High Country bring the most upscale experience, including the digital instrument panel and the vibrating Safety Alert Seat. If you want the richest feature set, these are the trims to target.

Chevy Safety Assist is standard on all Traverse trim levels, but the LS is the one with the biggest safety-equipment gap unless you add the optional package.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Chevrolet Traverse?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop with some leverage if you compare listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 32.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 6,155 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.28% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 82.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $25,352.74, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Chevrolet Traverse's resale value?

The current average of $25,340 sits slightly below last year's $28,887.

That price movement suggests the Traverse has already absorbed a meaningful amount of depreciation, which can help future sellers if they buy at the right price today. If you shop near the lower end of the range, you give yourself more room to recover value later. Strong demand for roomy three-row SUVs should also help keep interest steady.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.86/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Chevrolet Traverse safe?

It gets top “Good” ratings in collision-related IIHS tests except in a new, more stringent side-impact test, where it rates “Acceptable.”

It earns a 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Chevy Safety Assist is standard on all Traverse trim levels, and it includes forward-collision warning, pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, automatic high-beam headlights, and a following-distance indicator. The optional Safety Package on the LS adds rear parking assist sensors, blind-spot monitoring, lane-change assist, and rear cross-traffic alert; those features are standard on other trims.

Higher trims add adaptive cruise control, higher-speed automatic emergency braking, and rear pedestrian alert, while the Safety Alert Seat is reserved for Premier and High Country. One limitation to keep in mind is that the Traverse does not offer lane-centering assist.

Should I buy a 2022 Chevrolet Traverse or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 32.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 82.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.28% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.86/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It adds wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus updated styling and broader standard safety tech.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $22,335, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $25,340 average.
• It offers a roomy, family-friendly cabin with strong everyday usefulness.

The bottom line: If you want the better-equipped and more current version, the 2022 is the stronger buy. If your priority is saving money and you can live without the newer updates, the 2021 is the value play.
