• LT: This is the most affordable model and comes with cloth upholstery, an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, tri-zone automatic climate control, and a hands-free power liftgate. It’s the best-value trim if you want the Traverse’s core space, tech, and safety features without moving up the lineup.

What is the Chevrolet Traverse's resale value?

The smallest changes are concentrated in the newest and oldest examples in the table.

The 2025, 2014, and 2018 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
