Which Chevrolet Traverse trim should I buy?

The 2025 Chevrolet Traverse offers...

• LT: This is the entry point to the 2025 lineup and gives you the core Traverse experience with the standard 17.7-inch touchscreen, Google Built-in, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the full standard driver-aid suite. It makes sense if you want the Traverse's big-tech setup at the most accessible price.
• Z71: This is the off-road-oriented trim, adding an off-road suspension, 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tires, a skid plate, red tow hooks, Twin Clutch AWD, Terrain mode, hill descent control, and an improved approach angle. It suits you if you want the most rugged-looking Traverse with the most capability.
• RS: This trim brings a sportier appearance and sits above the LT in the lineup, making it a good fit if style matters as much as family utility.
• High Country: This is the top-end comfort-and-luxury choice in the 2025 range, aimed at buyers who want the most upscale Traverse experience.

What Chevrolet Traverse do most buyers choose?

The Chevrolet Traverse years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2022.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you a strong mix of availability, pricing, and deal opportunities. When more listings are on the market, you usually have more room to compare condition, mileage, and equipment before you buy.

What is the Chevrolet Traverse's resale value?

Most Traverse model years are down year over year, which can work in your favor if you're shopping used. The biggest drops are concentrated in several older and mid-cycle years, while the newest models are declining more slowly. That pattern gives you more negotiating room on many used examples, especially if you're open to a slightly older year.

The 2025, 2023, and 2018 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
