What's New for 2025?
Essentially unchanged this year, the Traverse does see its starting price shoot up due to the discontinuation of last year's base LS trim, leaving the LT as the entry-level spec. There's also a new High Country package that includes added chrome trim, leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, Super Cruise, Bose audio, a power-folding third-row seat and various other upgrades. Additionally, the Trailering package is now standard on LT.

Is the 2025 Chevrolet Traverse a Good SUV?
"Stylish, spacious and generally well-equipped, the Traverse is a strong effort by Chevy and a must-drive if you're shopping for a family SUV in this class. However, its turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine lacks refinement and punches below its 328-horsepower output, managing no better than zero to 60 in the low-7-second range — unimpressive for the class."—Ranked #7 out of 15 Midsize 3-Row SUVs
