D Tay I feel the same way! Right now I’m in a Sorento and I was thinking about upgrading to something bigger. But the telluride is not much bigger than my Sorento. But I love the traverse!
@@rickycastro1877 actually if we're talking large suvs it's the expedition then the GM twins Tahoe/Yukon. If you're talking full size, even then that title goes to the Ford explorer.
@@rickycastro1877 excuse me sir, but you are wildly misinformed. Not only is the Telluride not the best selling large suv, it is behind the Toyota Highlander, 4Runner, Ford Explorer, Honda Pilot, Volkswagen Atlas, GMC Acadia, Chevrolets own Tahoe AND the Traverse all sold more than the Telluride. The Telluride is selling well, but 75,000 is a far cry from the 147,000 units Traverse moved in 2019 (the year the Telluride was introduced). So actually, more Americans are choosing the Traverse than the Telluride-and the odds are almost 2 to 1.
Exactly my thoughts. Just rented a 21' for a week n loved it. Big vehicle for it's class but not oversized like suburban. 6 foot - 250 & it was more that comfortable to drive and sit in for several hours. It's not a luxury SUV so I don't get all the negatives in the videos. It's a great truck, I'll be looking for a 22'
Spending over $45K for a Chevy, marketed as the least expensive GM brand, makes no sense. This is why Toyota, Honda or Kia becomes an option. Chevy forgot they are suppose to be the GM brand promoting value.
@@davevolz6138 Nonsense. That isn't comparable. I can buy a smaller car in a different segment. Apples and oranges. It's worth noting though once you get up around 50k-65k things become muddled. You might as well buy the Enclave which is typically a cut above the Chevy. Cadillac XT6 on certain models or even a CPO with low miles would be another option (smaller platform though) or an Escalade ESV/Suburban/XL which can dip into that price point on CPO. I don't bring up the Tahoe/Escalade/Yukon as the Enclave and Traverse have better or about the same interior space, especially on the pre-2021 refresh models. You really need to move to the extended versions to get beyond the Traverse/Enclave. The Acadia and XT models from Cadillac are a smaller platform than the Traverse/Enclave. The real sticking point that isn't addressed as people focus on the top-tier models for some reason is the entry and mid-grade prices and features. The Traverse really leads the pack here as you're getting quite a bit of bang for the buck. None of the other brands seem to compare on interior space. Why take a chance on Kia/Hyundai warranties or reliability? Toyota and Honda are quite small and feel cramped if you're 6' and broad. Third-row options on most of them seem lacking.
@@inducedapathy1296 still can not get past the make. I’d even go Dodge first. Lol . Had the best luck with the German cars. Maybe an Atlas? They have lots of room.
@@davevolz6138 Dodge/FCA seems to be close in size with the Durango. They also offer an actual V8 too. That option (SRT/HC) blows the price up quite a bit and makes them not relevant in this segment. I don't think they can do up to eight-passenger and the seven-passenger might be iffy on the layout. I don't know how practical it is and many makes suffer in this segment with the small two-seat third row. German car experience personally has been bad with VW specifically. I'm planning on checking out the Audi Q7 though. I have to catch up on all the VW versions it's been a while. FWIW I need seven-passenger or more. Six kiddos half boys with most being taller than me at 6' except the fifth grader.
I wouldn’t wait. The pricing is more competitive now for the 2021 and frankly there’s really no difference interior to match the exterior to justify the likely pricing increase Chevy will impose. The lease residuals are not great doubt Chevy will discount the 2022 as aggressive as the 2021.
When I purchased my 2017 traverse 2 years ago it was a tough choice between it and a 2018 traverse, but I liked the 2017 traverse interior better! Can’t wait to see what the 2022 model will bring!
I just ordered the 2023 True North woth Blackout package. It may not be AS luxurious as some of the others, but I love the look and feel of the traverse, and its the only one that is big enough for 8 people, without having to go that extra step up to a tahoe etc. Which os a lot more expensive! Very excited!
It’s a great value (power and space) in the lower trims, but at the price of the High Country I’d just as soon get the Buick instead. Buick has better design, seats are more comfortable, quieter ride, and the brand is a clear step above Chevy.
Good review. I like that you’re showing the differences in upcoming refresh. Is it possible to do equinox as well? I was waiting for the refresh but it’s been delayed as well
Nice review. I saw pictures of the '22 refresh and it looks like GM did an excellent job! I am planning on buying the Traverse Premier when for my wife and i when i retire next year. Most 3-row suv come up short on the rear cargo area but the Traverse has what appears to be almost double the space and also lots of leg room throughout. My number one choice so far.
I currently have a 2019 Traverse and my son plays travel baseball. So we need a vehicle with space. This by far is the best vehicle I have ever, ever owned! I am looking at trading mine in for a new one due to all the miles we have accumulated, but I will only buy a Traverse!
Auto mobile's, if anyone cares for a tidy bit of history about your cars and trucks, for as long as there has been automotive production, the front cockpit of the auto ,the doors, and console have always had hard surfaces dating all the way back into history, and depending on the starting point of raw materials, factory production at every step or stage, the cost of parts and labor are gonna continue to raise as they will, but what your alls biggest priceless $ question might have a big debate over everything, is from company to company, everyone tries to be the cheaper better value for the money, but it all still adds up, just like everyone else, no one can avoid it, if you want to buy a used ride then buy used, if you want something new, Start shopping and research your for your favorite of possible interests,
I've got a 2020 Chevy Traverse and I love it, except now that I've also got a Tesla Model 3 the Traverse feels like driving a farm tractor. What I really want is a BEV Traverse. I would trade in *today* if Chevy were making that.
We got our 2019 base model with 3.6v6 brand new back in 2018 for 35k still have it, yeah interior sucks but with 3 kids and a big dog it's perfect so far, and rides real smooth
It may be basic interior, i personally think that is all that a young or new driver needs while they get experience behind the wheel. Too much electronics or touch screen and it is too distracting for most drivers. The power output from the engine is enough to get a driver out of trouble yet not too much (a massive v8) to get new drivers (or inexperienced) into trouble. It may not be a Cadillac in styling, it does look like a good basic (with enough add ons) vehicle for most families with enough luggage space for a long trip.
Me over here drooling over that color lol. You should look at a Buick Enclave Avenir then! It’s the same size as the Traverse but is available with a black or charcoal interior
@@PrimeAutotainment have more personality....Too boring....Have fun with the dialogue. Watch the English guy with Carwow, he makes fun of things he doesn't like about a vehicle....He has a real presence. Boring car reviews on UA-cam are a dime a dozen.
Thanks for the input. I’ve seen some Carwow…it’s just not for me. I might be boring to you, but not everyone. I’m not trying to put in a show, entertain people, or add fluff. I just give detailed videos about most aspects of the vehicle. 80k subscribers don’t mind…and it works for me. If we were all like carwow or other entertaining car people…that wouldn’t be any fun. When I want details on something, I go to Alex in Autos or Mike’s Car Info…where there’s basically zero attempt at any personality. It’s just me.
Thank you for your excellent presentation in this video. It was easy and enjoyable to watch as a recent 2018 Traverese High Country owner. I liked your smooth and descriptive audio along with sharp, edited video. The changes between the 2021 & 2022 model are not as drastic as the refresh of the 2017 models to the 2018 models. I am happy to stay with my 2018 model at a significant savings from full retail new.
I need to carry some sheets around with me fir these videos lol. I believe the width between wheel well sections is right around 48” wide and long enough to haul them with the rear gate closed. So you should be good 👍
Thanks for this video we are consider trading a Honda van to a 21 Treverse you talked about a stop and go feature that was annoying I agree the review mirror is smaller than I like
Hiii. Unsolicited advice but we have a Buick Enclave with start/stop that is very similar to the Traverse. We didn’t even notice the feature until the salesman pointed it out to us. It is not intrusive as the car turns back on as soon as you let off the break. Hope this helps :)
I like it, especially the interior. The seats looks great and looks like they feel comfortable. Thanks Nolan and happy holidays to you and your family.
GM must work harder to improve its interior finishings on dashboard, plastics because for example Traverse finishings look like a cheap chinese car. Hyundai Pallaside, Kia Telluride, Toyota Highlander, Mazda CX9 Signature are lightyears from Traverse and in the case of Koreans and Mazda are cheaper than Traverse.
There may be a bit of hard plastics in the car, isn't that a good thing when ya have young children?! A little more 'hard wearing'. I quite like it as there isnt much electronics in it to stuff up. Also a little easier for new drivers as they have to concentrate on the driving, not the electronics
Can't wait for the refresh. Say what you will but I prefer the traverse to the telluride or palisade
D Tay I feel the same way! Right now I’m in a Sorento and I was thinking about upgrading to something bigger. But the telluride is not much bigger than my Sorento. But I love the traverse!
You prefer it, but America doesn’t. #1 selling large suv is the telluride

Happy Holidays Prime Autotainment & to everyone
Thank you very Much and happy holidays to you as well!
Another great review! Desperately in need of a refresh. This has to compete against the Telluride! All that chrome-plated plastic on the dash is sad.
Thank you very much! Yeah it’s a shame they didn’t refresh it already and the coming refresh doesn’t seem like enough

If they weren’t so ugly the Buick would be a good deal but man you’d have to be old and blind to think it looks good.
Yeah, and that is strictly your opinion,

The Traverse , both the 21 and the 22, is a handsome vehicle, so much better-looking than the butt-ugly stuff from Asia.
The Asian vehicles are better quality, American vehicles are cheaply made and overpriced
i dont care
Does the 22 have a height adjustable seatbelt for the front?
"...kinda big"? For those who've always dreamed of owning a school bus, the Traverse in yellow would come close to fulfilling that fantasy. :)
Haha yes that’s for sure!
It doesn’t drive like it’s size tho. It’s soooo nice.
