2024 Chevrolet Traverse: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for 2024 is a full Traverse redesign, bringing a turbo four-cylinder engine, much larger screens and the first Z71 off-road trim. It is also an unusual split year because Chevrolet sells the outgoing version alongside it as the Traverse Limited.
About the 2024 Chevrolet Traverse
Split year: third-generation Traverse debuts for LS/LT/Z71/RS, while the second-generation SUV is sold at the same time as Traverse Limited for LS/LT/RS/Premier/High Country.
Chevrolet positions Traverse as a roomy three-row family SUV built around space, flexibility and everyday usability. The brand leans on class-leading cargo room, easy third-row access, strong towing for the segment, and a more SUV-like image than many softer crossover rivals. In redesigned form, Chevrolet also pushes bigger screens, more standard safety hardware and a tougher, more adventurous personality, especially with Z71, while the core job stays the same: moving people and gear comfortably on daily drives and road trips.
The redesigned Traverse ranges from the practical eight-seat LS to the comfort-focused LT, the trail-oriented Z71 and the leather-trimmed RS. Z71 adds an advanced AWD system, extra ground clearance, an off-road suspension and a skid plate, while RS emphasizes dark exterior details, leather seating and a 360-degree camera system. The outgoing Traverse Limited keeps Premier and High Country in the range for shoppers who prefer the older V6 model and its comfort-focused equipment.
What changed, by category

The redesigned Traverse replaces the previous V6 and nine-speed automatic with a 328-hp turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder and an eight-speed automatic. The Traverse Limited keeps the 3.6-liter V6 and nine-speed automatic.
Styling
The redesigned Traverse adopts a boxier, more rugged SUV shape. The new Z71 adds off-road-themed details, while the Traverse Limited retains the previous body design.
Safety
The redesigned model gains a much broader set of standard driver-assistance features, including adaptive cruise control and a 360-degree camera system. Park Assist becomes standard on LT, RS, Premier and High Country.

Every redesigned Traverse gets a 17.7-inch touchscreen and an 11-inch driver display. The Traverse Limited keeps the older cabin and smaller screens.
Structural
The third-generation Traverse debuts in LS, LT, Z71 and RS form, including the first off-road-focused Z71. Chevrolet sells the outgoing second-generation SUV at the same time under the Traverse Limited name.

Frequently asked questions
Was the 2024 Chevrolet Traverse fully redesigned?
Yes. The standard 2024 Chevrolet Traverse begins the model's third generation with a new body, turbocharged engine, updated cabin technology and expanded safety equipment. The exception is the 2024 Traverse Limited, which is the outgoing second-generation SUV sold alongside it.
What engine does the redesigned 2024 Chevrolet Traverse use?
The redesigned 2024 Traverse uses a 328-hp turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The 2024 Traverse Limited instead keeps the older 3.6-liter V6 and nine-speed automatic.
What is new about the 2024 Chevrolet Traverse Z71?
The Z71 is a new off-road-focused Traverse trim for 2024. It adds advanced AWD, extra ground clearance, an off-road suspension, an aluminum skid plate, hill-descent control and trailering equipment.
How is the 2024 Traverse Limited different from the redesigned 2024 Traverse?
The Traverse Limited is the older second-generation SUV carried into 2024. It keeps the V6, nine-speed automatic, previous body and older cabin, while the redesigned Traverse uses a turbo four-cylinder, eight-speed automatic, 17.7-inch touchscreen and newer safety equipment.
Is the redesigned 2024 Chevrolet Traverse a major change from the 2023 model?
Yes. The redesigned 2024 Traverse changes the engine, transmission, exterior design, dashboard screens and standard safety equipment, and it introduces the Z71 trim. A 2024 Traverse Limited is much closer to the 2023 model because it carries over the outgoing design and V6 powertrain.

(49 reviews)
“Definitely a good vehicle for the price, I would say it's just a little smaller than a Tahoe. Great for kids and we love the roominess.”
“Check the radio. Love the traverse, but the performance of its audio system is subpar at best.”
