Used 2023 Chevrolet Traverse Consumer Reviews
Solid Midsize SUV
Don't care about YouTube (mostly paid) bloggers reviews. This is a solid car. I have owned several vehicles and spent 1 month comparing the 2023 Traverse (even approaching its end of life, same generation since 2018) versus Nissan Pathfinder, Honda Pilot and Ford Explorer. Hyped Koreans, KIA and Hyundai, were just not options for me. Traverse won in terms of space, engine (310 hp) and a great cost / benefit for base trims. Media could be bigger, but Japanese new models also have only 7 or 8" LED displays. Worth mentioning Honda and Nissan have drastically reduced the quality of components, especially for base trims (eg: tires are cheaper Kumhos on Nissan's S Pathfinder). Bought it for my wife and kids as a family hauler. Low depreciation, affordable maintenance. Overall, very satisfied with the car.

Great for a family of 5
Unless you are willing and capable of purchasing an Expedition , or Suburban / Yukon there is no comparison. You can comfortably fit 6 adults in a traverse and still have room for groceries behind the third row. Try doing that with a highlander, explorer or Pilot. The engine / transmission pairing could not be any better. The transmission shifts like butter and the engine has plenty of power. It’s down right fast. I thought for sure I was going to purchase an explorer. But after driving the two there is no way I would even consider an explorer. The turbo engines potential maintenance issues scare me and the 10 speed transmission is horrible. Yes the traverses interior quality could be better. But that true with all GM products…. Including their $100,000 Cadillacs.

We’re back!
We had an 2018 Traverse and really enjoyed it. After life happened and we got rid of it we always had our hearts on getting another one. Thanks be to GOD that we were able to come to where we are. We weighed our options and returned to the Traverse. I’m so happy we did. They did a few modifications and improved it greatly (giving me the option to shut off AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF). Our side hustle is delivering so this really gives a greater opportunity. Another plus is when the grandchildren visit we aren’t cramped. Upper midsize SUVs like the Traverse are affordable and functional for all your needs.

One big SUV
I needed a 3 Row vehicle to take my grandkids around. I reluctantly traded my F150 of 10 years. I’m 400 miles in and honestly very happy with my choice It’s BIG inside. Easier to get in and out of. Child Car seats are so much more accessible. Heated seats are on automatically and the quiet is such a difference I cannot explain. My main selling point besides the better price compared to the other 3 row cars was the excellent V6. Tried and true. Powerful and smooth. I skipped the leather and sunroof saving Thousands. The view from the rear window is a little small for my liking but I drove a truck for 10 years so… $10,000 less than comparable SUVs was also a big motivation for me. The amenities, ride, features are all similar to others. The extra room and lower price are making this purchase much more enjoyable.

Cylinder blew at 2200 miles
Bought a 2023 Traverse RS in April and like the vehicle, it has a nice ride with plenty of room inside and has been great up until this past weekend. While backing out of a parking spot, the vehicle backfired but seems to be ok for a bit until I had to accelerate to get on the highway, the motor bogged down repeatedly and the check engine light came on so had to limp it home then to the dealership. They checked it out this morning and told me it blew the #2 cylinder but no specifics on exactly what caused it, the car has 2277 miles on it.
