Is the 2022 Chevrolet Traverse a good car?

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 81.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a vehicle history report on any candidate, even if it looks clean on paper. Prioritize a thorough inspection of the suspension, tires, brakes, and interior wear, since the Traverse’s ride quality and cabin materials are areas where condition can matter a lot. Focus on how the vehicle drives over rough pavement and whether the tech and driver-assistance features work as expected.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base LS starts with front-wheel drive and the simplest equipment, while higher trims add more upscale features and appearance upgrades. The RS sits above the LS and LT models but below the Premier and High Country trims, and the Safety Package is optional on the LS but standard on all other trims.
• Powertrain: You get one engine choice: a 3.6-liter V6 with 310 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. AWD is available, and the SUV also offers Tow/Haul, Snow, and Off-Road drive modes.
• 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 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. RS, Premier, and High Country also add adaptive cruise control, higher-speed automatic emergency braking, and rear pedestrian alert, while Premier and High Country get the vibrating Safety Alert Seat.
• Infotainment: LS and LT Cloth models use a 7-inch touchscreen, while other versions get an 8-inch high-definition display. Both systems include Bluetooth for two smartphones, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, connected services, and a WiFi hotspot, and the system can add navigation, SiriusXM 360L, and Alexa Built-in on higher versions.
• Fuel efficiency: The AWD model is rated at 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 7 trim levels: LS, LT Cloth, LT Leather, RS, Premier, High Country, and LT Leather.

Here's the short version:

• LS: This is the entry point, so it makes the most sense if you want the Traverse’s space and core safety tech at the lowest price. It is also the only trim where the Safety Package is optional, so it is worth checking carefully for that equipment if you want blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.
• LT Cloth: This trim adds a step up in everyday comfort and is a sensible middle ground if you want more than the base model without chasing luxury features.
• LT Leather: This is the better-value choice if you want a more upscale cabin and the option to add more advanced safety tech without jumping all the way to the upper trims.
• RS: This trim adds a sportier look with blacked-out trim and dark gray 20-inch wheels, plus standard Bose audio and the more advanced safety upgrades. It suits you if style matters and you want a well-equipped Traverse without going to the top end.
• Premier: This is where the Traverse starts to feel more premium, with the digital instrumentation panel and the vibrating Safety Alert Seat. It is a strong pick if you want a more upscale family SUV.
• High Country: This is the top trim and the most luxurious version in the lineup, aimed at buyers who want the fullest feature set and the most upscale presentation.

Chevy Safety Assist is standard across the lineup, but the LS is the only trim where the extra Safety Package is optional.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop carefully and still find value.

• Deal availability: 34.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 6,122 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.68% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 81.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $24,939, 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 $24,939 sits slightly below last year's $28,560.

That softer pricing can help you buy more affordably now, but it also means future resale values may stay under pressure if the market remains well supplied. For a seller, the upside is that the Traverse still has broad family appeal, so clean examples with strong equipment and a good history should remain easier to move than neglected ones.

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?

The Traverse gets top “Good” ratings in most collision-related tests, but it rates “Acceptable” in a more stringent side-impact test.

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

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 on the LS adds rear parking assist sensors, blind-spot monitoring, lane-change assist, and rear cross-traffic alert, and those features are standard on all other trims.

One important caveat is that the Traverse does not offer a more advanced system with adaptive cruise control plus lane-centering assist. If that combination matters to you, you will need to look elsewhere.

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:

• 34.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 81.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Prices have softened 12.68% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.86/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It adds wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus standard Chevy Safety Assist across the lineup.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $21,671, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $24,939 average.
• It offers a roomy, practical family layout with strong power and broad trim choice.

The bottom line: the 2022 is the better pick if you want the newer tech, stronger safety content, and better market support. If your priority is simply getting the Traverse’s space for less money, the 2021 is the value play.
