2022 Chevrolet Traverse High Country

The 2022 Traverse is Chevrolet's three-row family SUV, slotting above the Equinox and competing with the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander. The Traverse drives lighter than its size suggests, with easy steering and a composed ride that makes it feel smaller in the city and on the highway. Inside, the Traverse offers generous space for up to eight, with a cavernous cargo area behind the third row and thoughtful storage throughout. Chevy Safety Assist is standard, bringing automatic emergency braking and lane keep assist, while the infotainment system responds quickly and supports wireless Apple CarPlay. Reliability reports are mixed, with some owners praising the handling and space but a few citing transmission issues on early examples. The High Country is the top trim, so you get the most luxury and tech without stepping up to a different model, and it starts at $51,200. Its 3.6L V6 makes 310 horsepower and pairs with the nine-speed automatic, and even in front-wheel drive it pulls smoothly from a stop. Only the High Country offers the available hands-free liftgate and ventilated front seats, plus a standard power-folding third row.
