2022 Chevy Traverse | SUV – Interior, Towing Capacity, Price, Specs & More
General Motors have given the 2022 Chevy Traverse a light refresh, including new standard driver-assistance features and revised exterior styling. The updates were for the 2021 Chevy Traverse, but the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the enhancements to 2022. The modern look is also apparent in the new front- and rear-end design. The Traverse is available with both front-wheel and all-wheel drive (AWD) options.
When in the market for a new or used midsize crossover SUV in Boardman or Youngstown, Ohio, with enough space for your entire family and excellent off-road capabilities, consider the Chevy Traverse. Our experts at #1 Cochran review the available features, trim levels, and prices.
Safety Technologies
The five-star crash test results of the 2022 Chevy Traverse show that the car is safe to drive, even in the most extreme of conditions. General Motors gave this Chevy a significant improvement in automated driving safety technologies, with several of them becoming standard in other Chevy models.
Interior Features and Cargo Space
The 2022 Chevy Traverse interior features all-new seating options that make your ride more comfortable, even when on off-road excursions in the rocky terrains of Boardman and Youngstown, Ohio.
The aesthetics complete the smooth ride because of the SkyScapeⓇ 2-panel power sunroof, which now includes a new back power sunshade that expands the cabin while providing an unobstructed view of the sky. There is wireless Android AutoTM and Apple CarPlay® functionality in the Chevy Traverse’s infotainment system, as well as a classic Wi-Fi hotspot. Each trim has a large, user-friendly entertainment system screen and several USB connection ports.
With the Chevy Traverse cargo capacity, you can transport all of your family’s belongings while still having enough room to stretch your legs. Traverse provides up to 98.2 cubic feet (2,781 liters) cargo space when you fold the second and third-row seats nearly flat. Even with all seats unfolded, the Traverse provides up to 23.0 cubic feet (651 liters) of cargo room behind the third-row seats. The High Country’s power-folding feature lets the third-row seats fold up or down with a simple touch of the controls located in the back cargo compartment.
The Chevy Traverse interior space has 24 open storage places, notably a front passenger-side pouch large enough to fit a tablet.
The 2022 Chevy Traverse has a sleek exterior that features a redesigned front fascia and grille. Also, a new headlamp arrangement consisting of standard LED headlights and tail lamps with daytime running function helps you traverse foggy conditions and dusty roads with ease.
Engine Performance and Transmission
The basic Traverse powertrain remains unchanged in the 2022 model. It has a 3.6-liter V-6 engine with 310 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque you can operate through a one-touch stop-start system. The engine has a 9-speed automatic transmission and a manual mode. You can quickly get on and off the Ohio State Route 193 highway using the standard automatic start-stop feature.
By achieving a highway fuel economy of 27 mpg in real-world verification, the 2022 Chevy Traverse exceeds its class average on the EPA-approximated fuel efficiency, making it the best compared to its main competitors. Its engine is so quiet that you must check the dashboard to ensure the car is still running, especially when at stop signs. While maneuvering the car at low speeds, you can feel the 4,680-pound curb weight, but the car is overly athletic at high speeds, enabling easy handling.
You can take the 2022 Chevy Traverse to a tailgating event or boating because of its towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds, which can easily pull a kayak, canoe, motorcycle, or open utility trailer.
