How much does the 2022 Chevrolet Traverse cost?

Prices have softened 12.04% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 6,151 listings available, which gives you a healthy amount of inventory to compare.

If you find a listing below $25,489.45, 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, powerful engine, and helpful safety features. The large cargo area and comfortable seating also come up often as major advantages.

On the trade-off side, the expert review points to noisy road manners and a ride that can feel floaty over uneven pavement. It also notes that the interior materials can feel cheap in places.

For you, that makes the Traverse a strong fit if you want a roomy, family-focused SUV with easy-to-use tech and a practical cabin. It is less compelling if you want a more polished interior or a quieter, more controlled ride.

Good and great deals percentage: 32.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so there is still room to shop selectively.

Is the 2022 Chevrolet Traverse reliable?

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

User feedback points to a dependable-feeling powertrain, a spacious cabin, and ownership experiences that inspire confidence over time. The expert review also describes the drivetrain and braking behavior as well-suited to everyday family use.

Chevy also includes a useful set of standard safety and driver-assistance features, which can help reduce stress in daily driving. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is finding a neglected example with wear in the cabin, tires, or suspension from family-duty use.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 82.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not replace a proper history review. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on ride quality, brake feel, tire wear, and any signs of interior wear from heavy family use. It also makes sense to confirm that the infotainment and driver-assistance features work as expected.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base LS starts with front-wheel drive and the least upscale presentation, while higher trims add more premium touches and equipment. The RS, Premier, and High Country bring more content, but the lower trims are where you are most likely to notice feature gaps.
• Powertrain: You get a 3.6-liter V6 with 310 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque paired with a nine-speed automatic. Fuel economy is not a strong point, and the AWD version is rated at 20 mpg in combined driving.
• 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 get 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; OTA capability is not mentioned.
• 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:

• Base trim: The LS is the entry point, and it is the trim where you are most likely to miss out on some of the nicer convenience and safety upgrades. It starts with the smaller 7-inch touchscreen and needs the optional Safety Package for blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear parking assist, and lane-change assist.
• Sweet-spot trim: The LT Leather is the best value if you want a more upscale feel without jumping all the way to the top. It can add the higher-speed adaptive cruise control and rear pedestrian alert, and it also gets the larger 8-inch touchscreen.
• Premium/top trim: The Premier and High Country trims bring the most upscale experience, including the 8-inch digital instrument panel, standard adaptive cruise control, rear pedestrian alert, and Chevy’s vibrating Safety Alert Seat.
• Off-road trim: The Traverse is not really an off-road-focused SUV, so there is no trim here that makes sense for rough-trail buyers.

Chevy Safety Assist is standard across the lineup, but the LS is the trim where you need to pay closest attention to optional safety equipment.

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

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully without expecting every listing to be a bargain.

• Deal availability: 32.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 6,151 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.04% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 82.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $25,489.45, 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 $25,484 sits slightly below last year's $28,974.

That price movement suggests the Traverse has already absorbed a meaningful amount of depreciation, which can help future resale stability if you buy at the right price. If you purchase near the lower end of the current range, you may have less downside left than a buyer who pays closer to the top of the market.

Strong demand for roomy, family-friendly SUVs can also help support resale value, especially when the vehicle has a good reputation with owners. Well-kept examples 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?

It earns 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 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; those features are standard on the other trims.

Higher trims add adaptive cruise control, higher-speed automatic emergency braking, and rear pedestrian alert. If you want lane-centering assist, though, this SUV does not offer it.

The IIHS side-impact result is the main caution point to keep in mind when you are comparing used family SUVs.

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:

• 32.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 82.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.04% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.86/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It adds wireless smartphone connectivity and standard Chevy Safety Assist across all trims.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $22,471, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $25,484 average.
• It offers the same roomy, family-friendly three-row layout with strong highway comfort.

The bottom line: If you want the newer model year with updated tech and a softer market price, the 2022 is the better all-around pick. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2021 is the smarter value play as long as you are comfortable giving up the newer-year updates.
