Chevrolet is out to solidify its grip on the SUV segment, and the Traverse has long played a key role in luring in more family buyers. The model has seen its fair share of changes over the years, but it still manages to be a strong contender among three-row SUVs. But what changes are in store for the 2023 Traverse?

Light Updates Add Polish
Chevrolet chose to take a subdued approach to the Traverse’s updates for the 2023 model year, focusing on minor changes. Two new exterior colors, Sterling Gray Metallic and Radiant Red Tintcoat, join the color palette, while a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter become standard on LT Cloth, LT Leather, RS, Premium and High Country trims. The rest of the Traverse is largely carried over from the 2022 model year, including its 310 horsepower, 3.6 liter V-6 and nine-speed automatic transmission. All models come standard with front-wheel drive, but all-wheel drive is available.

This pricing ladder allows the Traverse to be on firm footing with rivals like the 2023 Ford Explorer and 2023 Hyundai Palisade, which start at $38,255 and $36,545, respectively — though both of these models have benefitted from a more extensive suite of updates and revisions.
