![]() ![]() As with any auto purchase, make sure you verify all important features on the exact vehicle you would like to buy, especially before traveling a long distance to a dealer or ordering sight unseen.The verdict: The redesigned 2018 Traverse is comfortable, smooth and useful family transportation that needs more standard safety equipment to be fully competitive. We were lucky that the dealer had an RS available in the color and with features we wanted. As this is just an add-on and not a trim, it will be very hard to search for online. If you want the 3LT leather trim and features such as surround vision, you need to add the new LT Premium package for a little over $3K. Seems odd to remove standard features, instead of adding them over the years. ![]() It’s almost as if Chevrolet doesn’t want people to know. The sales people probably won’t know about this. The Chevrolet website defaults to the 2018 model when comparing trims. They have removed many standard features from the 3LT trim, including the surround vision! All of the reviews available talk about the 2018 model and what was standard on the 3LT, and the change in standard features for 2019 was very hard to come across. We were first going to go with the LT Leather Trim (3LT), but discovered at the last minute that Chevrolet had pulled a fast one between the 20 model years. The bonus is better gas mileage around town. This engine would probably not be appropriate for heavy towing. There is no noticeable drop in acceleration with the 4 cylinder turbo engine, and it does have slightly more torque than the 6 cylinder models. We have been driving the vehicle for a week now, so this is a preliminary review. It has leather seats, surround vision, upgraded sound system, and 20” black wheels. For a warranty of only 30,000 and only at less than half with 2 issues already is worrisome.Īfter much research of the Traverse and usual competitors, we went with the Traverse with RS trim, as it had everything that we wanted and needed. I'm just very disappointed with this experience. I'm sure they are sending them off the line without issues but here I am in a Tahoe loaner basic model and I must say it drives a lot better than the Traverse plus it has the HD radio stations that for some reason the Traverse does not. I took my Traverse for its second oil change to the dealership which I had to pay out of pocket since my dealership only offers 1 free oil change and shortly after, 2 weeks or so the engine light came on again, shocker! It turns out being the catalytic converter needing to be replaced this part went to a "special case" so there is no ETA being that it's a 2019 and they are having trouble getting the part. I took it in for service and within about 1 week and half my Traverse catalytic converted was repaired. At about 6,000 miles a few weeks after my 1st oil change my engine light came on resulting in a catalytic converter issue, replacement. I purchased the 2019 Traverse Premier, I was a afraid of changing from a compact car to a SUV but I have gotten adjusted to it. I was in love with this vehicle as everyone should be when purchasing a new vehicle. ![]()
