The new Traverse looks infinitely better than that late 90's model blazer you posted and outperforms it in every measurable way.

Thank you fine sir.

It is. I even compared it to a 2004 that I had. Its inches as far as shoulder and leg room.

So is this car the same thing as a GMC terrain?



yes.


Nope. This is the Acadia. The Terrian is the Equinox in Chevy.

2024 Traverse LS vs 2023 Traverse LS


Definite refresh but not a huge departure. The Mrs had one, it was nice and cavernous and very comfortable on the highway.

Just got a 2022 from Avis for four days and loved the hell out of it.

We can assume at this point you have taste in automobiles similar to TulaneLSU's taste in pizza. Bad, that is.

Wow no way a 2024 outperforms a car from 30 years ago, make me a top ten list about it. "Friend, let us tell you the ways a 2024 Chevy is better than a 1995..."

Bozo.

It looks awesome, and the Traverse has become a solid vehicle. The first gen was ugly and had timing chain issues. The second gen looked like a van. This new one looks awesome and I am glad it’s neither electric nor CVT.

I know these crossovers are popular, but I wish Ford and GM would make sedans again. I know Chevy is redesigning the Malibu, but I would like the see a return of the Taurus. Just make it powerful.

Does it? That trim looks pretty good, but you know that’s the crazy $65k top-of-the-line trim. The other models will still look Micky Mouse.


I like the RS model. Honestly the Z71 and RS Traverse might be the best looking in the segment.

I’m hearing great things about that new Turbomax engine they are using from the Colorado pickup but I still would prefer the V6.

They should re-lable, call this the Blazer, and call the current Blazer the Traverse or whatever... shame what they did to the Blazer name



I hate that they are using the Blazer name for this, but the new EV model looks awesome and has something like 600 horsepower. Definitely has rear drive proportions, but it’s more of a performance crossover than a Blazer. Too bad it’s close to $70k for the sporty model. The police will get a cheaper version.

The price will likely be close to the Grand Cherokee and Explorer. So yeah…$50k plus for most models. $60k for the higher end ones. $40k for the fleet ones that nobody ever buys.

This new one makes it look like the design team phoned in the original model. That one was hideous.

This new one is much better.

Like what is the deciding factor between a traverse and a blazer?



Traverse is much bigger. No 3rd row available in Blazer.

Looks a lot better….still lame as hell. No way I would buy this crap unless you have GM Family discount & don’t value long-term reliability
A big NO also to Explorer…Grand Cherokee a tad better.
New Highlander, Kia Telluride, Pilot, new Mazda CX-90 are vastly superior.

They are chevy SUV's, so it was probably a bad experience.

2004 Tahoe, not a single problem.
2011 Tahoe, not a single problem.

I now own an Expedition and will have to get both catalytic converters changed, under factory warranty.
