Used 2022 Chevrolet Traverse for Sale nearRichmond, VA

How much does the 2022 Chevrolet Traverse cost?

Prices have softened 13.08% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 6,110 listings available, which suggests you should have a healthy range of choices.

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 helpful safety features. The review summary also points to a powerful engine and comfortable seating, which fit the Traverse’s role as a roomy family SUV.

On the trade-off side, the expert notes call out a noisy cabin, noticeable float on uneven pavement, and interior materials that feel cheap. That means you’re getting a practical three-row SUV that works well for families who want space and easy-to-use tech, but not the refinement or polish of a more upscale rival.

The market also looks reasonably supportive, with 32.7% of listings marked as good or great deals.

Is the 2022 Chevrolet Traverse reliable?

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

The owner feedback also emphasizes dependable everyday use, with repeated praise for a trouble-free-feeling ownership experience, strong long-term usefulness, and a vehicle you can count on for family duty. The expert notes reinforce that impression by describing the Traverse as easy to trust and well suited to regular use.

Chevrolet also makes ownership a little easier with standard safety and convenience tech that helps reduce day-to-day stress. That said, used buyers should still watch for signs of wear in a family hauler that may have seen heavy passenger and cargo use over time.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 82.6% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the vehicle history report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not replace a proper records review. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on cabin wear, suspension feel, and any signs that the vehicle has spent a lot of time on rough roads or in family-service duty. It also makes sense to confirm that the features you want are actually present, since equipment varies by trim.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base LS starts with front-wheel drive and the least upscale presentation, while higher trims add more equipment and a more premium feel. The RS sits above the LS and LT models, and the Premier and High Country trims bring the most upscale content.
• Powertrain: You get a 3.6-liter V6 with 310 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is available, and the SUV can tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped.
• 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. A separate Safety Package is optional on the LS and standard on other trims, adding rear parking assist sensors, blind-spot monitoring, lane-change assist, and rear cross-traffic alert.
• 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, connected services, and a WiFi hotspot.
• 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 sense if you want the Traverse’s space and core tech at the lowest starting price. It gets the standard safety suite, but you should expect the fewest comfort and convenience extras.
• LT Cloth: This is the value-oriented step up if you want a little more equipment without jumping too far up the price ladder. It still uses the 7-inch touchscreen, so it is best for shoppers who care more about practicality than premium features.
• LT Leather: This trim is the better pick if you want a more upscale cabin without going all the way to the RS or luxury-oriented trims. It also can be optioned with the upgraded safety features that are standard on higher trims.
• RS: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds a more distinctive look, standard Bose audio, and the upgraded safety content. It also gets the 8-inch touchscreen and is a strong fit if you want a well-equipped Traverse without stretching to the top end.
• Premier: Choose this if you want a more premium experience, including the 8-inch digital instrumentation panel and the vibrating Safety Alert Seat. It suits buyers who want more comfort and a richer feature set.
• High Country: This is the top-end choice for shoppers who want the most upscale Traverse experience. It builds on the Premier’s equipment and is the trim to consider if you want the most premium presentation available.
• LT Leather: This trim can be a smart middle ground if you want more comfort than the cloth trims but do not need the RS’s styling or the upper trims’ extra luxury touches.

The Safety Package is optional on the LS and standard on all other Traverse trim levels.

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

The market looks moderately favorable if you are a selective buyer.

• Deal availability: 32.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 6,110 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.08% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 82.6% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $24,949, 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 $24,949 sits slightly below last year's $28,705.

That price movement suggests the Traverse has already absorbed a meaningful amount of depreciation, which can help future sellers if the market stabilizes. If you buy at today’s average or below, you may have less downside left than someone who bought when prices were higher. Strong demand for roomy family SUVs can also help support used values, especially when the vehicle has the right equipment and condition.

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 2022 Chevrolet Traverse earns top “Good” ratings in IIHS collision-related tests except in the new side-impact test, where it rates “Acceptable.”

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

Chevy Safety Assist is standard on all Traverse trim levels 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, while those features are standard on other trims.

Higher trims add adaptive cruise control, higher-speed automatic emergency braking, and rear pedestrian alert, but the Traverse does not offer a more advanced system with lane-centering assist. That limitation matters if you want the most sophisticated driver-assistance setup in this class.

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:

• 32.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 82.6% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.08% 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.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $21,871, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $24,949 average.
• It offers a roomy, practical three-row layout with strong everyday usefulness.

The 2022 is the better pick if you want the newer tech and safety setup, especially at a price that has already come down. If your priority is simply getting the lowest entry cost, the 2021 can make sense, but you give up some of the 2022’s updated equipment and market freshness.
