Lower trims of the Chevy Traverse offer loads at little but fail to provide customers with enough to not leave one wanting more. Right from the powertrain to the cabin materials used, everything gets upgraded once you reach the High Country trim. Unfortunately, the prices run rampant up the trim ladder, and the High Country variant doesn’t share the same value for money principles as the Base trim but is a better choice to live with, especially in the long term.

The 3.6-liter V-6 pulls strongly and the Traverse is on the quicker end of its class- CarAndDriver

The 2022 Chevrolet Traverse comes with a standard 3.6-liter V6 that makes an ample 310 horsepower. The engine is paired with a smooth-shifting 9-speed automatic transmission. The Traverse comes standard with front-wheel drive (FWD). The available AWD system comes at an additional cost but makes sure that the Traverse offers adequate off-road capabilities and ample grip in adverse weather.

For maximum traction, the Traverse High Country adds a dual-clutch transfer system that can automatically adjust the amount of torque going to each rear wheel, further preventing slippage. The 2022 Traverse's engine idles start/stop feature can now be disabled. The Traverse's suspension is tuned to provide a balance between handling and ride comfort. With the proper equipment, Chevy Traverse SUV can tow up to 5,000 lbs.

Interestingly, the Traverse is quicker than it looks and exhibits best-in-segment 0-60 mph acceleration time. The AWD Traverse takes 6.9 sec to sprint from 0-60 mph in a straight line. The Chevrolet Traverse completes the standing quarter-mile in 15.5 seconds, beating the seemingly underpowered Kia Telluride and Hyundai Palisade but loses out to the Ford Explorer, which completes the same sprint in 15.3 seconds.

The Traverse is inherently a comfortable cruiser with a silent interior that can accommodate a lot of people comfortably. At slow speeds, the size of the mid-size three-row Chevy is evident but as you pick pace, the SUV is agile. It doesn't handle with as much agility as rivals, and there's noticeable body roll around corners. However, the Ford Explorer manages to trump its competition and their V6 engines, beating even the Traverse from zero to sixty.

Among three-row crossovers, the Traverse is relatively fuel-efficient- The Car Connection

The 2022 Chevrolet Traverse is mechanically unchanged and is expected to return similar mpg ratings as the current 2021 model. The Traverse with standard FWD offers 18 MPG in the city, and 27 MPG on the highway. 

With all-wheel drive, ratings drop to 17 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. The V6 offers an above-average fuel economy in the midsize three-row SUVs class. The FWD-equipped Traverse has a 19.4-gallon fuel capacity, while the tank size increases to 21.7 gallons with the AWD drivetrain. 

Chevrolet Traverse is holding up really well against its rivals in mpg figures, despite a higher power output and towing capacity. The fuel economy offered by the Traverse isn’t too far behind the competition, and the larger fuel tank makes it slightly better than rivals for longer journeys. They might not be the best, but Traverse’s MPG figures are very competitive against the rivals, especially considering the power output.

The Traverse provides spacious accommodations for seven or eight passengers, including a third row sized for adults- CarAndDriver

The biggest highlight of the Traverse is its class-leading interior that provides enough space to accommodate seven or eight passengers comfortably. All Traverse trims have three rows of seats but you can opt for captain’s seats in the second row.  For 2022, the slightly updated interior design gets better features such as new upholstery options, a better instrument cluster, and an updated infotainment setup.

The comfortable seats have standard cloth upholstery and you have optional leatherette upholstery. With second and third rows folded, you have up to 98 cubic feet of cargo space. New this year is an optional 8-inch digital display on higher trims that complements the central touchscreen display. The 2022 Traverse also gains available wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. A twin-panel sunroof is also available, as is a new rear power sunshade.

Adequate noise insulation in the cabin makes for a pleasant experience, and the available room in the cabin is evenly divided across all three rows of seating. Interior materials get better towards higher trims as you get leather upholstery with chrome and metal-look accents.

The dashboard is designed right, placing all necessary functions and buttons well within reach; the updated infotainment is also a significant improvement regarding being user-friendly. More features available in the 2022 Chevy Traverse’ cabin are:

• Optional 7-seater with bucket seats in the second row
• Dual-pane sunroof
• Optional leather upholstery
• Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• Multiple USB ports and 4G WiFi hotspot capabilities

Nevertheless, the Traverse is not the most spacious in the segment, with the Hyundai Palisade offering the most spacious front row seating. Its mechanical sibling, the Kia Telluride, matches the Palisade for its second-row legroom, and the Traverse redeems itself with the most usable third seating row of the lot.

Stretching over 204 inches, the Traverse is the biggest kid in the midsize-SUV class - Kelly Blue Book

The 2022 Traverse gets a fresh exterior look with new LED headlamps and taillamps. The front fascia gets sharper DRLs and at the rear, we have thinner LED taillamps. The bumper is upgraded for better clearance where the fog lamps are heightened as well. The RS trim offers the most sporty exterior design with a glossy grille and alloy wheels. There are four new wheel designs and a revised appearance with the Redline Edition and Midnight/Sport Edition can be availed on the LS and LT trims.

The Traverse seems capable and stronger than ever. The design slightly resembles the bigger Chevrolet vehicles as the all-new Traverse is made bigger and better. It shouldn’t disappoint you on long highway routes or the muddy off-roads with better ground clearance and aerodynamic design.

Don't let the chiseled exterior of the Traverse fool you, as it still is the largest three-row midsize SUV. The fresh front fascia enhances the overall styling. The side profile of the SUV shows off its massive length, and with new alloy wheel options, the vehicle has only become more appealing; some optional but similar features include:

• Fog Lamps
• Heated Exterior Mirrors
• Roof Rails
• Power Rear Liftgate

The Chevy Traverse's five-star ratings from the NHTSA are maintained for the new year- Carbuzz

The 2022 Chevrolet Traverse has a safe cabin structure crafted with high-strength steel. The cabin has 7 standard airbags with three-row head restraints, a front occupancy sensor, and seatbelt pre-tensioners. The solid B pillar and the side impact bars provide strength to the doors and the roof which properly accompanies the sheet metal body. With a 5-star rating from the NHTSA for the model year 2021, the Traverse is more than a safe family SUV.

With its update for 2022, the Chevy Traverse has improved the safety aspect of the SUV. Notably, all trims now include a suite of active safety features including automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assistance, and pedestrian detection.

2022 Chevrolet Traverse vs 2021 Hyundai Palisade

The Hyundai Palisade can be described as the ultimate people mover of sorts. Its tech-savvy, easy-to-use nature makes for a useful, but a numb car from a driver and owner's perspective. Don’t get us wrong, the Palisade is an amazingly refined vehicle that doesn’t really put a foot wrong, making it very hard for the Traverse to compete. However, if you’re looking for a little zest during your errands, the Hyundai can’t provide you with much. The Traverse, on the other hand, has plenty of fun packed into its naturally aspirated V6, and Chevy allows you to push the chassis further towards its limits than the Palisade ever could.

2022 Chevrolet Traverse vs 2021 Kia Telluride

The Kia Telluride might be based on the same platform, and share a lot of similarities with the Hyundai Palisade, but in this segment, the Kia seems to show a bit more focus on the driver. Hyundai and Kia vehicles go hand-in-hand, offering what the other can’t while maintaining prices and potential reliability, as seen in the Kia Soul and Hyundai Veloster. Nevertheless, in this segment, the Telluride, even with its sporty trims, shouldn’t be able to take the Chevrolet Traverse on in terms of raw driving feel. It still is a rather subdued vehicle and despite better figures in some places, the Traverse should be the better pick against the Telluride if ascertaining maximum value for money is not a priority.

2022 Chevrolet Traverse vs 2021 Ford Explorer

This might be the most acute competition the 2022 Chevrolet Traverse faces. Buyers who prefer exactly what the Chevy offers would be quite surprised to know that the Ford offers the same quality and perks as the Explorer. Strictly for comparison, the Traverse would tip the scales in its favor with respect to being a family/people mover, as it offers more space, and more or less the same ingenuity in interior design as the 2021 Explorer. However, the best people movers in the segment are the Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride, so the Chevy Traverse needs a test drive to show you exactly what it offers. The consistency shown by the model over the years is proof of eligibility enough.

The Chevrolet Traverse has always been an SUV of regular convenience and maximum consistency. Features and specs more or less match the competition on paper, but both the Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride offer more convenient interiors, while the Ford Explorer gets its nose ahead of the Traverse with regards to performance. Regardless of its shortcomings against its segment rivals, the 2022 Chevrolet Traverse still provides buyers with all-around quality and ensures no disappointment in its drive, ride, or overall ownership. If you’re looking for something specific, it's best you check out other SUVs in the segment. The Traverse is perfect for those in need of a regular midsize three-row SUV, with driving and seating convenience aplenty.
