How much does the 2024 Chevrolet Traverse cost?

Prices have softened 16.08% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 6,918 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for shoppers comparing trims and prices.

Is the 2024 Chevrolet Traverse a good car?

Yes — the 2024 Chevrolet Traverse earns a 5/5 user rating and a 7.83/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Technology at 9/10.

The 2024 Traverse is positioned as a more assertive three-row midsize SUV, with a taller, wider, longer body and a more rugged look that gives it more presence than before. It also brings more standard driver aids, more passenger space, especially in the third row, and a much larger infotainment touchscreen.

The main trade-offs are that it still feels its size, the base LS trim is a little too basic, and the top RS trim is pricey.

The market also looks reasonably supportive, with 34.9% of listings marked as good or great deals.

Is the 2024 Chevrolet Traverse reliable?

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

The 2024 Traverse is described as a more modern and improved version of the model, with more standard driver aids, more space, and a fully updated cabin. Its turbocharged four-cylinder makes more power and torque than the outgoing V6, and the ride is described as exemplary.

The powertrain also benefits from a seamless stop-and-start system, which helps everyday drivability. Chevrolet also includes a wide range of standard driver aids, which can reduce stress in daily use.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that a larger, more complex SUV can become more expensive to keep in top shape if prior maintenance was neglected.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Chevrolet Traverse?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the vehicle history report carefully and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially on higher-mileage examples or vehicles with optional equipment. Focus on overall condition, signs of prior bodywork, and whether the cabin and electronics operate as expected.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LS is described as a little too basic, while the RS is the pricey top trim. The Z71 adds a more rugged look and is intended for moderate off-roading, but it is not meant to be a hardcore trail rig.
• Powertrain: The Traverse uses a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque, replacing the previous V6. All-wheel drive is optional on every trim, and the Z71 gets a more advanced dual-clutch AWD system.
• Safety package: Every model gets automatic emergency braking with cyclist and pedestrian detection, lane-keep assist, lane-departure warning, blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, traffic-sign recognition, side-exit assist, rear pedestrian alert, and a surround-view parking camera. Super Cruise is offered, but not every trim includes it as standard.
• Infotainment: Every model gets a 17.7-inch touchscreen, an 11-inch digital instrument display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Google-based software. Super Cruise is also available.
• Fuel efficiency: Official EPA estimates range from 18 mpg city, 26 highway, 21 combined for the Traverse Limited with FWD down to 17/25/20 for the Limited with AWD.

Which 2024 Chevrolet Traverse trim should I buy?

The 2024 Chevrolet Traverse is offered in 4 trim levels: LS, LT, Z71, and RS.

Here's the short version:

• LS: This is the entry point, but the data says it is a little too basic. It makes sense only if you want the lowest starting price and can live without the richer equipment found higher up.
• LT: This is the best-value trim. It is expected to be the most popular model, and it adds a more flexible setup with a choice of second-row bench or dual captain’s chairs. It also supports available Super Cruise and the Trailering Package.
• Z71: This is the new rugged-minded trim. It is intended for moderate off-roading, and it adds a more advanced AWD system plus a tougher look and all-terrain tires.
• RS: This is the top trim and comes loaded with nearly every available feature, but it is also the priciest.

The safety package is broad across the lineup, with standard driver aids on all models.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Chevrolet Traverse?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you have room to shop carefully without expecting every listing to be a bargain.

• Deal availability: 34.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 6,918 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 16.08% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 88.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $38,335, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Chevrolet Traverse's resale value?

The current average of $38,335 sits slightly below last year's $45,682.

That price drop suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable point in the cycle. For a future seller, that also means resale value may depend heavily on condition, mileage, and trim choice rather than broad market momentum alone.

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

Is the 2024 Chevrolet Traverse safe?

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

The Traverse had not undergone crash tests from NHTSA or IIHS at the time of the test drive, so there are no official crash-test ratings to cite here.

It comes standard with a wide range of driver-assistance features, including automatic emergency braking with cyclist and pedestrian detection, lane-keep assist, lane-departure warning, blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, traffic-sign recognition, side-exit assist, rear pedestrian alert, and a surround-view parking camera. Super Cruise is also offered.

Should I buy a 2024 Chevrolet Traverse or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 34.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 16.08% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It brings a more assertive redesign, more standard driver aids, and a much larger infotainment touchscreen.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $40,517, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $38,335 average.
• The base LS trim disappears, and the lineup shifts upward with a new High Country trim.

The bottom line: If you want the better value, the 2024 is the smarter buy because it already delivers the redesigned Traverse experience at a lower average price. If you are willing to pay more for the newer model-year lineup changes, the 2025 is the secondary path, but price-sensitive buyers should focus on the 2024 while the market is softer.
