Best looking Chevrolet traverse ever Joe
This is true …. They were ugly until now
Couldn’t agree more. I’ve ordered an RS myself
@@Dontdoitguy well compare to this one they were ugly but the exterior wasn’t that bad, but the exterior was missing everything, now this is a big step up.
@@kervensferdinand669 well that’s why are opinions are subjective I guess … I think GM vehicles from around 2010 to 2020 they were ugly
@@Dontdoitguy I meant to say the interior was terrible. In my opinion the 2018 traverse was good, not good as this one but Good, but the Acadia 2013 was not a good looking one. And you’re right everyone has different opinions.
Chevrolet has been impressive as of late. Hard to not be attracted to these. Just follow your maintenance schedule and don't abuse the drivetrain. Will be a solid form of transportation. ☮️💙
The key with the Chevy brand, JMO, is to offer enjoyable quality that's affordable for us middle class folks (esp in today's economy). It's always been this way with Chevy. As long as Chevy doesn't price itself out of the market, it will compete well. GM should be proud of its work on the Traverse, btw.
This RS 4 banger large SUV is 60k+ after tax
Quality?
@@a3300000 some people can’t live life without being sheep and following and believing everything some company says even though it was a “paid” publication/advertisment!
$57k definitely isn’t middle class.
I got a telluride as this priced me out.
Joe I think the telescoping was automatic not manual. Maybe I'm wrong. But this thing is beautiful and beats the telluride by a long shot! Keep up the good work 💪
Love the review Joe! Ughhhh did you slam your finger in a KIA Telluride door?🤣
Another great review Raiti! Your side stories of the past add to the fun. 😂😂
Would be nice to have a full bench but that's a personal preference. The design looks really good, it has some power, I'd give it a chance.
I think that's on the LS trim
LS and LT you can, not RS or Z71
If you want a high trim with a bench I think the only option is the Pilot or specific configurations of the Atlas and Pathfinder
I would have loved a bench instead of captain seats just because of my 100 lb lab but we will make it work because I just bought one of these vehicles just like in this video and I absolutely love it! 😍
Love all of your random side commentary... started getting a little heavy at times, but you're staying always true to yourself and keeping it real, which is a rare quality these days. Keep up the amazing work, and don't forget to love yourself ✌️&🩵
love your videos! thanks for doing this one! i watch as many as i can when they come out :) you should throw some Wet Wheels Shine on those tires!
I'm gonna have to Zonk the back wiper placement Joe.🙂
Awesome car, but 57K is pretty steep...Since you get the same engine, i'd personally opt for the awd LT without Supercruise and save 14k. I think 45k is more in line with a sensible cost.
Been looking forward to this one. Great review. Chevy did exactly what they needed to, design it to look like a mini Tahoe.
Just bought a '24 Telluride and love it....but this is some SERIOUS competition. Wow
Luv it. Ordered my 2024 TRAVERSE RS in Dec 2023, it’s been built for over a month & still waiting for it to be shipped to me in SOUTH FLORIDA. Thanks Joe.
WHAT!!! I JUST ORDERED MINE IN MARCH AND THEY SAID IT WAS BUILT AND IM WAITING FOR IT TO SHIP. I HOPE IT DONT TAKE 6 MONTHS
@@dionnescott6458 Yeah I’m up in northern MICHIGAN right now and it seems like they’re shipping. Let’s hope! 🤞🙏🇺🇸
hope you get it soon, I understand the anticipation. We waited 5 months to get our new Suburban RST diesel back in 2022. Shipping time was nearly 2 months to get it to the dealership!
They didn’t start building until February
@@tyalderdice4980 I think it was March but either way mine has been built for well over a month. I even have the VIN but still waiting for it to ship. Thanks.
Joe, I do love the Chevy Traverse & I dig the fake vents on the corners I just feel like who wants to see a boring radiant red painted red painted corner of the bumper? I do love the way Chevy did a dandy of a job.
Amazing review Joe.
Already appointment for test drive on this weekend👍👍 i ve been waiting for this
The Chevrolet Traverse RS is a good looking vehicle. It's better looking than years past.
Joe, as always, an amazing and helpful review, thank you! What I don't get is you always Zonking an exposed rear wiper. What's wrong with that? I've been waiting for the new Traverse since the end of last year while owning 2019 model, which I loved! Gave up waiting, bought 24 Nissan Pathfinder SL Premium Package. Absolutely love it, can't wait to get up in the morning and drive to work. Still miss my Traverse only because of its larger interior room and a smoother ride...
I absolutely love this red on Chevy vehicles. It really pops in the sunlight and fits the overall shape of the Traverse to a T.
9:24 It honestly doesn't bother me that the exhausts are on one side of the Kia Telluride. It gives it more of a rugged appearance in the rear by having them do it this way. Plus, I think the reason why they have the exhausts only on the right side is so that the heat can't enter the passenger cabin. I also think it's a cool Korean design feature to have the exhaust pipes on the right side.
Kkgmp
I would use super cruise as you did, Joe, to keep driving as I adjusted my music or AC settings. It would also give my body a little chance to stretch/relax since I have RA. It's like an extension of cruise control. GM has done impressive work here!
Gorgeous interior!! Love it.
You definitely would be a fun teacher! Whats up with the third row windows. Thats little design closed up their window area.
They really did a great job with this truck. Lets hope the 4 banger turbo is reliable.
Always liked ur video Joe, Traverse looking excellent, wish if they had hybrid as an option 👍
I’m so glad that o can bring it to you
Waiting for your next video. Take care and regards from Canada 🇨🇦.🙂🙂
You just earned a subscriber with all those straight facts you were spitting in this video. Good work!
I'm waiting for the Raiti's book of wisdom and quotes. The mirrors in the seat pockets idea was touching. 😂
Yes of course Joe & I can't wait to buy this.
That’s so awesome to hear
Amazing description good job
Joe, as a Chevy fan boy, the 2024 Traverse in my opinion is class leading inside and out and would be a grand slam if it had a hybrid option. With the new 2025 Equinox getting most likely a PHEV option I hope the 2.5 Turbo in the Traverse also gets the PHEV engine option. Joe and Lori, once again a great review!
Your reviews are so good
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍
Can’t wait to test drive this bad boy.
Very nice ride!!!!
Does the RS trim have a HUD feature? If so, is it for basic use? Is it optional?
Nope.
According to Car Confections, it does not
Great video, thank you. Does the Traverse have a HUD?
At least they got the panoramic infotainment display right. It's about time!
LOVED Madballs Also lol Great Video! That RS is Beautiful! (And I'm a Ford guy 😮)
The Z71 version is my second pick to a Pilot Trailsport in Diffuse Blue Sky Pearl. Why second? Because the Travserse is a brand new design with a totally new engine and transmission, both know to have weaknesses in the past. Can you compare the two cars?
Midsize? That thing is huge! These vehicles are getting bigger and bigger.
All vehicles are for sure!
By chance, did you happen to go on throttle? If so, how was it? Was the engine sound natural or simulated, and was it a balanced sound for a 4-cylinder?
One beautiful vehicle.......thank you Joe.
I am so glad that you liked it Mike and that I could bring it to you!
I love when you say manual steering wheel
I see electric steering wheel
You doing great job anyway 😂
I saw that too. Close up view of the electric control. He was having a flash back day of hand cranking sunroof and people actually eating good n plenty
Been waiting for your video!! But how many twinkies could you fit in the back??
...Best Infotainment Screen dash out of any Sedan Suv or Truck. Just to have that GPS so prominent. The entire dash is just genius.
Look at the new ford explorer.
Does it feel like you have 2 laptops in front of your face? Great review Joe!
Dman thought embargo was until may 6th. Will you fo z71 review? Would love to see it Joe!
I'm still waiting to see a review on Super Cruise in very adverse situations such as panic breaking,or someone switching over in your lane unexpectedly,a pedestrian running out in the street,an object in the middle of the road,potholes etc . Just to see how it behaves & avoids a potential accident.
So it does not have any fog light? Not even the Z71?
Just ordered a Z71 this weekend. Seems like a really solid offering.
Does it have ambient lighting??
you could use that cargo area as a cooler with ice still... just use a shop vac to suck out all the water and ice later
Poor Man’s Tahoe..love it!
HUGE improvement, Chevy (and about time)! I like it all except the 'reverse-shark fin' towards the back of the vehicle (but I'm sure I'd get used to it eventually). I would imagine that, with the enormous room inside on this one, not to mention the increased MPG (and lower price), it will be more likely to cannibalize sales from Chevy's own Tahoe as opposed to either the Telluride/ Palisade. Thanks for the look, Joe! You're #1 in my book!
I’m impressed by this SUV. I would certainly purchase it
The color is smoking. For the love, put the rear windshield wiper up top, by the spoiler.
Overall I like the Traverse better than the Telluride but I like the exterior styling on the Telluride more. Great review Joe!
Great looking
Telluride id say is a perfect mom car where this is fitted more for the dads with the sporty aggressive look
Joe showing off Super Cruise like a boss!😎
Cool spacious SUV & features…haters gonna hate.
love this car, just 1 tiny question, why they cut the heated seat buttons? have to go all the way up to press that small tiny heated seat icon in the screen? considering they have already reserve segment for buttons and knobs(real buttons and knobs are a necessity to me as well),in addition GM's super cruising is amazing, and that "drug" handing out thing is normal today just hilarious 😂 very nice review!
Joe, it looks like the steering wheel is power tilt and telescope. I really like this redesign. I would wait a model year or two to buy. My daughter had a first year 2021 Trailblazer and the transmission crapped out at 30k miles. 😢
I have the 2023 Traverse Premier with the Redline Package and this RS is definitely an upgrade worth getting!
Cool and the Gang. Ok Joe your wife and you invited to the BBQ. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
This Chevy Traverse is an awesome SUV, good sporty looks outside and inside and lots of room, totally agree the red door trims and stitching looks really nice. The size is smaller than a Chevy Suburban but it still has a lot of interior room so it has the room to be a family hauler on trips and you get some bang for the buck with the under $60k price tag. Should have maybe been made as a Hybrid with the electric motor to add HP and Torque instead of having a Turbocharger.
How's road noise?
Hey joe what'sapp this Chevrolet Traverese this is Awesome suv and today my 26th birthday
Lovin “ cool and the gang “ !! lol
Make the wheel arches body colored and I’d consider it. Quality might be an issue.
Very good points David
I have to say as a BMW owner I’m very impressed how good the new Chevy cars SUVs look. Also the super cruise is fantastic. Way better than Tesla! The build quality is definitely very good.
Isn’t this a little shorter and not “longer” as you mentioned, compared to earlier model ?
Absolutely love the new traverse!! Can’t wait to get mine!
Love the new design! However not sure about the price. It's alot more then my 2023 RS, but I wouldn't really say it has much more to offer.... other then design.
Also, can you tell it's a 4cyl when driving? How does it compare to the old v6 when you are actually driving? (Not just on paper)
how does this stack up against the toyota grand highlander?
What's that button in the driver side door, near the cup holder?
Great question,
I got to meet the legend himself this morning at TPA. Made my day!
It was great to meet you! I really appreciate your support!
no aluminum pedals is very weird. That super cruise is something special.
I was a GM buyer for over 20yrs.. Last buy was a 2013 Corvette. Japan is where it’s at.. My 22 CX9 will outlast this or n e modern GM truck and SUV.
doubt
To me the big game changer is supercruise. It's such a great feature for traffic in the city and towing and long distance driving. My next car will definitely have super cruise, I think that new Buick Enclave is calling me due to the nicer interior and those amazing sounding massage seats!!
The NVH improvements of the Enclave over the Chevy or GMC is a big win! The Enclave will be the best of the Traverse and Acadia option for 2024+
Joe, I remember a lot of notable redesigns in 2018, the Traverse being one of them. They really got my attention. 2022 refresh, they lost me a bit. But with the 2024 redesign, they have my attention once again. 👌
Trust me I know exactly how you feel!
No on throttle? I wanted your impression of the new engine.
It's a massive suv with only 320hp. It aint going anywhere. 😂
Is it out yet? Didn't see any in Canada
I think it’s a beauty. I like that purple-ish colour it comes in way better though
Welcome to ATL! We do love our coke and our falcons 😂 love the vid. I actually love the look of the traverse.
Thanks man!
I wanted to take a look at the z71 traverse, but they released them to late. I ended up getting a 4Runner. Still a really sharp redesign. They should of went the acura route and went six cylinder turbo.
Nice, hope the Acadia improved as well. Last gen looked meh 😕
I was really hoping some on-throttle action Joe :(
I like the Chevy, but one of the issues I have is that it only offers leather in the top trim, RS. I do not care about rims or super cruise. The Kia SX with leather and the features we are looking for is available at $47k-49k. I believe my wife would have been ok with the Chevy LT but no leather is a deal breaker. If I could wait 1 year maybe the RS with incentives would make the cut but we need our car today. Good job.
If there is one thing we all know about Raiti, it's that he does not like exposed rear wipers.
WhTs your opinion between the new Traverse vs the new Explorer ST?
Just here for the rear wiper zonk
Where does the ambient lighting emit from?
From Joe’s awesomeness!
I would want parental controls where super cruise is concerned. This feature should be available to very experienced drivers.
Wish it had the Duramax as an option 😓
Says it's manual adjusting wheel as you show the electric control for it
Looks nice.
I would definitely consider this over the Telluride. KIA does have that wonderful warranty, but having owned several Impalas and a Silverado, I do not see the warranty as being a major showstopper in selecting the Traverse.
The styling is fresh, and the the Traverse is loaded with features, but wish Chevy would’ve offered a hybrid version.
I'll pick the Telluride since it retained the V6 and isn't that problematic like other Kias
Every time I see a new Ford/Chevy/Dodge vehicle its basically just "We kept the same cheap ass plastic everywhere but we stuck some big screens on the dash"
Beautiful ride!!! I got my wife a CX90 and although I LOVE the engine and performance, the comfort just isn’t there. I’m waiting to trade in the Mazda for either this traverse or the new Tahoe. Only thing I don’t like about fords explorer and expedition is the interior system and how they got rid of AC nobs. But performance wise fords ecoboost is hands down better than Chevy. I just love the style that Chevrolet has gone with and I currently own a Silverado with 2.7 turbo and at 14k miles it has been a great drive.
Thanks for sharing your ownership experience on this one Justin
