2024 Chevrolet Traverse: Enhanced safety, advanced technology and a Z71 off-road version
August 18 2023,
Power revisited
The 2024 Chevrolet Traverse enters the automotive scene, redesigned from the ground up. Under the Chevrolet umbrella, this mid-size SUV has been rebuilt with the modern family in mind, not only in terms of safety, but also for thrill-seekers and adventurers. This three-row vehicle, which has always been known for its versatility, now promises to do more with a robust engine and an even more impressive set of technologies.
Engine and performance improvements
Under the hood, all Traverse variants feature a new 2.5-liter turbocharged engine. This engine develops an impressive 315 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque - an impressive step up from its predecessors, with torque alone up 19%. Mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox, all-wheel drive is standard, while the Z71 benefits from a dual-clutch all-wheel-drive system with off-road capability. For those looking to haul cargo, the Traverse, when properly equipped, can tow up to 5,000 pounds.
Presentation of the Traverse Z71
For those looking for off-road adventures without compromising family comfort, the Traverse Z71 stands out. This trim not only offers an inch more ground clearance and improved track width, but it also comes standard with all-terrain tires mounted on unique 18-inch rims. The front fascia is explicitly designed for a better approach angle and includes an aluminum skid plate with the Z71's signature red tow hooks. Features such as dual-clutch AWD and Terrain-specific mode enhance its off-road capabilities, making it ideal for adventurers.
Safety first
Safety remains paramount in the 2024 Traverse. Standard Chevrolet Safety Assist includes critical driver assistance technologies such as automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning and lane keeping assist, among others. In addition, additional safety functions, such as rear park assist, adaptive cruise control and blind zone driving assistance, reinforce the vehicle's commitment to the well-being of its passengers. . Innovations such as the Buckle to Drive feature emphasize seat belt safety, ensuring the driver and front passenger are buckled in before the journey begins.
Design and interior comfort
Beyond its rugged appearance, the new Traverse also promises a refreshing cabin experience. A dominant 17.7-inch diagonal infotainment screen is the centerpiece, providing on-the-go connectivity. The vehicle's space is amplified by the design, with flowing lines and a lowered dashboard that improve visibility. Seating configurations are flexible, offering both seven and eight passengers, depending on the version.
Availability
Impatient customers won't have to wait long. The all-new 2024 Chevrolet Traverse is expected to be released in early 2024, with production handled by GM's Lansing Delta Township, Michigan, plant. Details regarding pricing and additional offers will be revealed closer to the production date.
