How much does the 2022 Chevrolet Traverse cost?

Prices have softened 13.23% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 5,816 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for shoppers comparing trims and conditions.

Is the 2022 Chevrolet Traverse a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Chevrolet Traverse earns a 4.9/5 user rating and a 7.2/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Technology at 9/10.

Owners consistently praise the spacious interior, helpful safety features, and powerful engine, and they also call out the large cargo area and comfortable seating. The Traverse’s practical, family-focused layout fits buyers who want room and easy-to-use features without stepping up to a larger, more expensive SUV.

The trade-offs are the noisy cabin, the floaty ride over uneven pavement, and interior materials that feel cheap. Even so, the Traverse’s roomy, approachable character makes it a sensible choice for families who value space and usability.

Good and great deals account for 34.4% of listings, which gives you a decent chance of finding a competitive price.

Is the 2022 Chevrolet Traverse reliable?

Owners rate it 4.9/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owners describe it as powerful and dependable, with praise centered on the spacious cabin, comfortable seating, and helpful safety features. The expert review also points to a drivetrain that feels well matched to the Traverse’s size and a vehicle that is easy to trust in everyday driving.

Chevrolet also includes maintenance-friendly ownership value in the broader package, with the Traverse positioned as a practical, cost-conscious family SUV. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that a roomy, heavily used family hauler can show wear quickly, so condition matters a lot.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 78.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a vehicle history report, because accident-free listings are common but not guaranteed. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that checks the suspension, cabin wear, and any signs of hard family use. Focus on overall condition, since the Traverse’s value depends heavily on how well it has been maintained.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base LS starts with front-wheel drive and a 7-inch touchscreen, while higher trims add an 8-inch display, more upscale styling, and more equipment. The RS, Premier, and High Country bring additional premium touches, and the base trim can leave out some convenience and safety features that appear on higher versions.
• Powertrain: You get one engine choice: a 3.6-liter V6 with 310 horsepower and a nine-speed automatic transmission. It delivers enough power for the Traverse’s size and can be paired with front-wheel drive or available all-wheel drive.
• 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 LS can add a Safety Package with 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 use a 7-inch touchscreen, while other versions get an 8-inch high-definition display. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, along with Bluetooth for two smartphones and connected services; navigation, SiriusXM 360L, Alexa Built-in, and a Bose audio system are available or standard on higher trims.
• 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: L, LS, LT Cloth, LT Leather, RS, Premier, and High Country.

Here's the short version:

• L: This is the entry point, but it is the most stripped-down version of the Traverse. It makes sense only if you want the lowest starting price and are comfortable giving up some convenience and safety content.
• LS: This is the best-value starting point for many shoppers because it keeps the Traverse affordable while giving you the core family-hauling strengths and access to the optional Safety Package.
• LT Cloth: This trim adds a more polished feel than the LS while staying relatively accessible, and it gets the larger 8-inch touchscreen.
• LT Leather: Choose this if you want a more upscale cabin without jumping all the way to the premium trims. It can also be equipped with some of the higher-end safety upgrades.
• RS: This is the style-forward choice, with blacked-out trim and a more distinctive look. It also adds more premium tech and safety content, making it a strong pick if you want a sportier appearance.
• Premier: This is the best-value upscale trim if you want more luxury and convenience features, including the safety upgrades that are not standard on lower trims.
• High Country: This is the top-end choice for shoppers who want the most premium Traverse experience, including the most complete feature set.

Chevy Safety Assist is standard across the lineup, while the LS is the only trim that can add the optional Safety Package.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you have room to compare listings without feeling rushed.

• Deal availability: 34.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 5,816 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.23% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 78.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $24,012, 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 $24,012 sits slightly below last year's $27,674.

That softer pricing suggests the Traverse has already absorbed some depreciation, which can help future buyers if you plan to sell later. A lower current entry price can also make the vehicle easier to move if it stays in good condition and remains competitively equipped.

For a future seller, the key is to preserve condition and documentation, because family SUVs tend to be judged heavily on wear, maintenance, and accident history. If you keep the vehicle clean and well maintained, the current market position gives you a reasonable base for resale.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.9/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Chevrolet Traverse safe?

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

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

Chevy Safety Assist is standard on all trims 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 LS can add a Safety Package with rear parking assist sensors, blind-spot monitoring, lane-change assist, and rear cross-traffic alert, while those features are standard on the other trims.

A caveat to keep in mind is that the Traverse does not offer a more advanced system that combines adaptive cruise control with 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:

• 34.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 78.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.23% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.9/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It adds wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus standard Chevy Safety Assist.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $20,760, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $24,012 average.
• It is a practical three-row crossover with strong space and everyday usability.

The bottom line: The 2022 is the better pick if you want the updated tech and safety content at a still-reasonable used price. If your priority is saving money above all else, the 2021 can still make sense as a lower-cost alternative, especially if you find one in excellent condition.
