Here at Weelborg Chevrolet, we are excited to announce the new 2022 model line-up. If you do not see your vehicle in our new inventory, please reach out to our team for more information.
Review
The 2022 Traverse SUV has enough ability to – as its namesake suggests – traverse through snowy road conditions and other forms of compromising terrain. Additionally, it also offers enough room to ensure that long road trips are comfortable for everyone.
A 3.6-liter V-6 offers sufficient power, moreover, it has demonstrated itself to be rather fuel-efficient; FWD (front-wheel drive) is the standard but AWD (all-wheel drive) is discretionary.
Furthermore, the Traverse is a larger option in the mid-size SUV category and offers one of the biggest cargo spaces, overshadowing competitors such as the Kia Telluride and the Toyota Highlander.
What's Expected For 2022?
Chevrolet gave the Traverse three-row a small refresh for the 2022 trim year that offers revamped exterior design and a plethora of novel standard driver-assistance attributes. The least of which include automated emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, as well as automatic high-beam headlamps.
Additionally, an 8.0-inch display within the gauge cluster is available as a tech alternative, and novel upholstery compositions outfit the interior. This most recent improvement was initially slated for the 2021 trim year, but was pushed back to 2022 due to the pandemic.
Cost and Which Trim to Purchase
The mid-size LT trim constitutes the highest value in the Traverse's six-model lineup as it offers such features as second-row captain's chairs, SiriusXM satellite radio, heated outside mirrors, as well as roof rails.
However, if you prefer something a bit more opulent without having to go up to the more expensive trims, the LT model provides a Leather bundle that incorporates a power-adjustable passenger's seat, leather upholstery, in addition to a power rear liftgate, and much more.
The basic LS trim – on the lower end of the spectrum – goes for a modest $34,895. While on the higher end, you can expect the more luxurious High Country trim to go for an estimated $52,345, respectively.
Motor, Performance, and Transmission
A conventional 310 hp V-6 engine lends the Traverse its power, and a swift-shifting nine-speed automatic transmission adjusts gears seamlessly. The V-6 hauls strongly. Moreover, the cabin is so silent that you’ll have to glance at the tachometer to make certain the engine is still operating while you’re idle.
Additionally, the Traverse offers what is possibly the most high-quality automatic stop/start attribute we've assessed. When preparing to park or maneuvering at slow speeds, you can feel the overall mass of the Traverse. Speed it up, however, and the large Chevy provides a smaller feel than it actually is.
Maneuvering effort is minimal, however, the network is pinpoint accurate. Furthermore, the suspension of the Traverse is tuned for a solid-state of equilibrium between control and the riding experience.
Real-World MPG and Fuel Economy
In the real-world assessments, the AWD Traverse High Country came up with 27 mpg, the foremost highway fuel consumption relative to many of its rivals
Interior, Cargo, and Comfort
The Traverse offers commodious accommodations for as many as eight passengers. This includes adult third-row sizes. Chevrolet's six-tier trim lineup permits the Traverse to hit a broad expanse of the market and engage with a large scope of potential consumers.
The materials in the superior High Country are elegant and handsomely designed. The second- and third-row seats fold down to become a cargo-pulling champ with additional space than its competitors. And as many as six carry-on suitcases can fit behind the third row, this entails it wins at loading both people and luggage.
Infotainment and Connectedness
Chevy endowed the cabin of the Traverse with an abundance of USB ports and a user-friendly infotainment network with radiant graphics, a mounted touchscreen, and conventional wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capability.
An infotainment network with quick responsiveness to user inputs as well as a conventional Wi-Fi hotspot makes this a modern and high-tech SUV.
Safety and Driver-Assistance Attributes
The most advanced driver-assistance features are available on the two high-end luxury models. Key safety attributes include:
- Standard automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection
- Standard lane-departure alert with lane-keeping assist
- Adaptive cruise control

- Limited warranty covers 36,000 miles (or 3 years)
- Powertrain warranty covers 60,000 miles (or 5 years)
