- The Traverse receives a refresh from Chevrolet from 2022. On the outside you will find a new front fascia, grill, lighting and wheels. On the inside there are some new materials and technology. Under the hood is a 3.6L V6 mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission. Is the NEW 2022 Chevy Traverse a BETTER midsize SUV than a Kia Telluride?

I watch many of your videos, but Joe, if you're going to entitle your videos with a (somewhat click baity question), I think you are obligated to answer the question for your viewers. This video provided a good overview of the new Traverse, but the title question was not answered or even really addressed. Thank you for your consideration. Keep up the great work.
Then watch his review on the Kia and you decide which is better
That decision is for YOU to decide. Everyone's taste & wants are a little different. Not everyone is going to feel the same. Depending on what you need and are looking for in a vehicle. If you are in the market...go check out suvs on your own. It is not Joe's job to tell you what to buy, in the end. He is only updating us on what's new and available.
I agree, at the end of all the videos, I'm always like: Well? was it better?
@@marcosa.333 yep, felt same, I just posted above before reading this. Pretty obviously not as good, but whatever...Chevy/GM never going to ever give any of their non super-high end models decent interiors
His question is for us to answer. That’s why I love his channel.
The Kia Telluride Nightfall package is looking at this Traverse and saying, "bring me a challenge somebody"...😂
You are so very right about that Monique!
I went from a Traverse to the Kia Telluride Nightfall edition, and believe me I'll never go back to a Traverse.
From what I've seen this has the most cargo space behind the 3rd row and power in its class and uses regular gas with good gas mileage. If you think Suburban etc is a little too big this is perfect. Also if you have toddlers or younger you dont really want too luxurious of an interior.
As a Chevy guy that steering wheel is a major zonk along with that gauge cluster
It's possible to swap a Acadia cluster into it, so it looks better lol
Joe, the Kia dealership near me has 4 new Tellurides in stock. All 4 of them have a $15,000 dealer mark-up above MSRP and the dealer is refusing to bring the price down. So yeah, I would say the Traverse is a better 3 row mid-size SUV than the Telluride.
It looks nice but the interior still looks ok but the jeep and Kia looks more modern.
Agree
The Kia is NOT going to age well tho..
Jeep and kia are both trash
@@francisruiz6849 jeep grand cherokee l is hella nice u good fam?
Let's see which one last longer, I own a gm vehicle with 330k miles and still runs great, I would like to see a Kia doing that
Chevy's interiors need more improvement.
I have a 2018 High Country Traverse and the inside is very nice. Two-tone tan leather...
I think they’ve come a long way from previous years. Chevy’s are made for the everyday person, so in other words they’re designed with practicality in mind. If you want something more high end from GM then you would buy a Buick or Cadillac that focuses more on Luxury.
There whole lineup needs improvement they built these Chevys like shit.
Best part of this vehicle is the secret compartment behind info screen. I think they put the traverse badge on front doors for the people next to them at a red light, wondering what it is……….oh, it’s a traverse ! 🙂
The secret compartment used to have a USB port in it. I use mine in my 2019 to keep my MP3 player so it's out of my way. No idea why they removed it.
I think I'll take whatever is available. No cars even for rent now. Crazy.
I've wanted for decades to have enough cash to buy a car with cash and now it's almost impossible to get what I want without a waiting period.
its because of chip shortages and people stupid enough to buy above msrp. There have been new cars driven 6,000 miles and my nearest dealers in Austin go for above 5,000 at minimum. Some even go as high as 10,000. It's crazy!!
There is NO FREAKING WAY that Chevrolet is better than a KIA Tellluride...not happening!!!!!
I agree the telluride is untouchable right now.
Depends on what you're needs are
Can't wait to see those headlights and backlights on.
My thoughts exactly
The thing with Chevy that really makes me mad is that they are always comfortable being mediocre not good but not bad either. They have talent to produce amazing vehicles but they just don’t a lot of the times.
The Traverse looks a lot better than the former design. You and Lori worked your asses off to get us the latest looks of the vehicles. Much appreciated my friend. My wife just bought the new Sorento turbo. Hope she made a good choice. Welcome home Raiti’s family!
Hey Brian! Thanks for saying that! We really appreciate your awesome support! I think your wife made a great choice!
Kia's motors are NOT long lived and have terrible reputations with mechanics. The dealerships hire inexperienced techs because they cant hold onto experienced techs. We were thinking of buying the Telluride. Good thing we didn't with many of them cracking windshields and other problems in the products. They look great but luxury and looks wont help you when it doesn't move, unless you become homeless and live in the vehicle. Watch Scotty Kilmer who is a mechanic, not these you tube commercials for the manufacturer masquerading as reviews. They never say very much that is bad. All the vehicles are always show in a positive light. Most cars are designed to fail as soon as the warranty is up. 10,000 mile oil changes, lifetime transmission fluid? Watch your car explode at 60K.
Looks alot like my wife's 2018 (Premier) Traverse 😒. I love her car. So many features he left out of this review. I was expecting more from Traverse because I was thinking of trading in my Lincoln MKX for one. Guess I will wait till '23 to see what's *New* for the Premier
@@jcinewilliams8819 I guess he didn’t have a lot of time with the vehicle because of all the commotion going on at the time. Good luck with your search. 🙏
@@anthonyrosa5006 Kia is no worse than honda and toyota. Scotty kilmer doesnt know everything. His knowledge of cars is 20 to 30 years behind
Still one of the largest 3-row crossovers in the segment.
This is so very true Norm! Good call!
It’s sooo much bigger than anything else in its price range. Especially with the captain’s chairs. I can easily walk to the back to help a kid get buckled. I love it.
@@ashleyrodriguez4950 we have the prior generation GMC Acadia and you can literally walk around the captain chairs without collapsing them to get in and out! It is huge!
Signed Jose Canseco ball 😂😂
I guess Chevy ain’t looking at what Mazda,Kia and Hyundai offering inside out!
Not at all. GM is lazy
@@Ballista762 🥺
It's a much bigger vehicle, if they were to add a more luxurious interior it would be priced out of its segment.
@@im2fast4u711 which vehicles do they compete with in the market?
@@curiosityredpill7030 the ones you just mentioned. GM has 4 vehicles in the overall 3 row mid size suv segment. The traverse, the acadia, the enclave and now the xt6. The chevy and gmc directly compete with the vehicles you mentioned while the buick and cadillac would be entry luxury 3 row suv. Imo the telluride and palisade in their top trims could compete in the entry level luxury category but chose to keep them in this segment which is the most popular. It was a smart move on their part and they're a steal at their price. But if you need something larger than the rest, with 3 rows with storage for 3 rows of people and don't want a minivan the traverse can give you that.
The Chevy Traverse just screams middle-aged suburbia to me. It will be in rental car fleets in no time.
@Virgil White It's the styling. It's not remembering at all. Kia Telluride is more innovative with its Range Rover-esque styling. That vehicle is so on demand right now. I'm a millennial with no kids and I even want to Kia Telluride. That's says a lot if it's attracting younger buyers as well. The Traverse doesn't appeal to the masses. That's just my opinion. 🤷
@@jraheemjefcoat429 !!! My wife loves it & I absolutely love it, great car and I’m only 21. Super spacious compared to traverse even tho the traverse is bigger if I’m not mistaken. But the telluride offers more modern and open design with more well lit color patterns, I feel as if all chevys are only black interior.. major zonk
Joe, you finally made it. My wife said " let's see what he zonks" !!
Joe, Lori knows exactly how to shoot a video. Her ability to move in to show us details and to move around the perimeter of the vehicle is second to none. Thank you Lori.
I don't know how much Jeep invested for the Grand Cherokee L, but their interior is killing all mid 3rd rows. Can't get past it
But jeeps are so expensive compared to the leaders in the segment
I just purchased a Jeep Grand Cherokee L Limited 4x4 in Black diamond out the door for 47,500 love it interior is amazing. I looked at the GMC Acadia I got more and nicer with jeep for around the same price.
@@philipharris8027 what? where? lol im in nyc, 55,000 minimum here.
Yes my favorite! Even the base is nicer than this Chevy premier
@@ekonezi5588 exactly...
If the Telluride is the New Normal of midsize suvs, the competition simply cannot compare with it.
The traverse is a hunked-up Malibu, whereas the Telluride is a mini Range Rover.
Well, have fun replacing that korean p.o.s. Engine when it blows up on you after 80,000 miles. 😂😂😂 Kia and Hyundai are cheap for a reason!
Interior is not anywhere near the new Jeep Grand Cherokee. Looks excellent but the interior sucks.
👍 traverse interior plastic city.. we recently compared a travers high country, Buick Enclave avenir and a GMC Acadia… we bought the Acadia but dam shame imo that gmc doesn’t make a larger traverse sized vehicle with the Acadia interrior
I agree. The interior is quite bland!
If roof vents aren’t your favorite location then what is? I would think that’s a better location than the center console since roof vents hit you directly.
I really like the grill more in this car more
Some crossovers Like Volvo have the rear A/C vents in the pillars right in front of the rear doors, that's my preference too.
You're completely right on the badging, way too high on the door. The exterior is stylish, but the competition is offering hybrid tech at the same price point. Great review.
9:23 You missed your chance to say that you might have to deflate the football a little bit for it to fit!
Where were you when I was filming! Lol
Gonna go with the 2022 pathfinder
I really like that SUV a lot!
@@RaitisRides thanks for making the videos of them to help me make up my mind.
You'll save your self thousands even more if you go with the highlander or pilot.
Interesting how this midsize 3 row suv has more interior room than some full size suvs.
I know right! It is all about how they are laid out.
@@RaitisRides like a mini van smh that a mini van 🤦🏽♂️ GM🤦🏽♂️
Right it’s almost 2 inches longer then the ‘19 Tahoe, Yukon, and Escalade.
Body on frame suvs have less interior room than unibody suvs like this
They can call it an SUV, but it is a crossover. So, it is a large crossover.
Hey Rait's Rides, I always thought that the chevy traverse needed a redesign because it was get old really fast. And all I want to say is nice review and good job
Agree
@@shane401 thanks you Shane S, for your opinion, and I agree
Nice where is the running board i hope 2nd and 3rd row not small and cramp i hope leather seating i hope it comes with a mini deep freezer for driver and passenger's
Redesigned in 2018.
Just sold my 2019 Red Line Traverse off a 3 year lease. I like the exterior refresh, but the interior is dated compared to the competition. Now I am driving the 2022 Genesis GV70. Joe, you are the best!
Hey Jeff! Thanks so much for the support! You did it right with the GV70.
@@RaitisRides I left a comment on your review of the GV70. Thanks to you I am lovin what I am drivin!
I’m not a GM guy but Chevy did a great Job
I am so glad that you like this one Miguel.
I love my 2019 Traverse and was actually thinking about purchasing a 2022. I paid cash for my 2019 with only 10 miles on it; money well spent.... Traverse all the way.
Nice presentation, Joe. Lori does an awesome job, too! The biggest zonk for me is that only the base models offer a bench in the second row. Captain's chairs make no sense to me. There is a lot of great competition in this space. Ciao, mio amico.
Thank you! I have a 2018 Traverse that I am ready to trade for a new one. Previously I owned Lexus and BMW cars, and I have to say as much as I'd love an X7 I just can't do it because the Traverse has been an ideal car. I live in northern Utah (snow, mountains, etc.) and this car has been so good for us that I'm definitely in for another one!
One of the most helpful comments I've come across. I was nervous about going from a BMW to a Chevy.
Hey Joe You Forgot To Zonk The Engine Cover Its Look Like a trash can.
The Honda Pilot is more like one.
I was also there & I got some great tidbits from the Chevy representative on getting some extra upgrades on this traverse. Many thanks to that Rep...and thank you for being there, Raiti!
No way, I was literally searching for the redesign traverse and now I see this!!! Wow, thank you Joe
Samee!!! Well not really but I heard of it!!!
As good as the Telluride???? Please!
Can't touch the Nightfall package...😂
Right team telluride and I’m not really a truck person
Have you ever driven a Traverse? If not then sit down.
@@matthewlocke9225 Yes, I have…. and that’s why I don’t drive one…
I will take this over the Telluride any day of the week!
I just wish Chevrolet would put the interior of the new Tahoe in this. We know they can make excellent interiors, but this one is just average.
Good update! Looks sharper.
They definitely cleaned up the front end of the business.
How GM sells cars when they have the same thing year after year with very little change is beyond me. Most companies have passed them by.
Wtf are you talking about? Toyota, Chrysler, Honda, Nissan all literally do the same thing
Chevrolet Spark is still the top selling sub-compact in North America. GM wins.
@@braetonwilson4296 garbage like most of there cars. hyundai and kia have blown them away.
Agree man, no way to pay 50+ for this outdated cheap interior thing
@@mikewest6569 Chevrolet Spark is made in South Korea so it's the same quality and same level as the Hyundai Accent and Kia Rio.
Telluride still destroys the competition
The exterior of this new Traverse looks great. Here’s why it certainly doesn’t “trump the Telluride”: GM’s build quality is pathetic. Also, this car hasn’t been updated with enough new technology and luxury to begin to compare to the Telluride.
Pay attention www.kiatellurideforums.com/forums/2020-kia-telluride-problems-and-issues.33/ My wife was jonesing for a Telluride but I decided to go for the 4Runner. Not because of luxury which the Telluride looks great but because the Toyota is in the top 10 most dependable, longest lasting and highest resale SUVs out there. No its not new, and that's a good thing. There are zero issues and engineering defects. Many run past 300,000 miles. I doubt many cars other than Honda and Toyota can routinely make that claim. Certainly not Kia. If you want luxury buy the lexus, tough 4wd with luxury. Yea both of these can be costly and used ones are almost as expensive as new for the first 5 years. That should tell you that they are worth the cost. Kias loose value REALLY fast. My wife isn't complaining about the 4Runner and does not miss the Telluride.
Being a GM fan is so painful. Every new model or "refresh" is a let down 90% of the time. Subpar materials, borrowed components and incohesive design is the theme year after year. Also, when will Chevy revamp their emblem?? The bulky gold bowtie has needed to go for years!!
100% agree. But why the bowtie ?
I feel the same way, very bland interior design.
@@trollwaffen1248 The bowtie needs a redesign, it needs to be more modern and clean. Kia understood this and hit a home run for 2022, this small change plays a significant role in the overall design and marketing.
The interior is literally identical to the 2018-2020 model, just the headlights grill and some styling is all that’s changed
They definitely nailed it on the head with exterior. But could have done more wit the interior. Overall looking good!
I like the front end but the rest literally looks like the previes model
Great Joe, Chevrolet. Styling is more sleek, and the interior is better than before, especially the instrument cluster and seats. Great review, Joe 👍
It literally looks the same from the last gen
The chevy keeps it classic yet modern at the same time its plain and all but sheeshh the exterior looks fire🔥🔥🔥🔥
@Y O Same as Stellantis and Ford, most of their vehicles looks the same.
@Elitezer Soldier Yup
I bought a 2021 Traverse LT in April and honestly it looks the same, same seats, screen, steering wheel, head lights and tail light did change but not really MAJOR changes.
I like the changes to the exterior. Why couldn’t you turn it on to accessory without starting it to show the info screen and gauges? Thanks for sharing it Joe. Nicely done and Lori’s the best! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
No key
@@btbcc12859 Yes @ 10:44. I guess you didn’t watch it all.
@@LS1007 yeah I just got to that part. I jumped the gun, 😢
@@btbcc12859 👍🏻
I have the new 2022 Traverse. I have the black Premier redline edition. Super sporty! My two dislikes- and they aren’t a major dealbreaker are the moonroof lacking a power shade like my last suv. And I hate that the only cup holders in the 2nd row are in the door. Not major issues, so no big deal. Driving it has been great. A smooth, comfortable ride with plenty of power and that redline edition is turning heads. It’s beautiful.
We're at a unique time where I keep thinking that this could be the last gas version of any all new model coming out.
It is a major transition period. I am holding on for dear life!
@@RaitisRides LoL
I just traded in my 2017 Traverse for a Cadillac xt5. And that is exactly what I thought......possible my last gas vehicle. I'm 67 so if my health remains good I can see myself in an EV in my mid 70's. I actually looked into them this go around but charging stations not that great imo right now. In a few years probably much better. And by then I probably won't be traveling as much out of town and at home charging will take of my needs 90% of the time. As far as this Traverse goes.....it indeed looks better than the 2018 to 2020 versions. Mine was the last of the sloping design which really looked dated.
Agreed
as others have said, Exterior looks better then it used too. Interior leaves alot to be desired. telluride smashes this...
Telluride's a piece of shit Kia. Driven it and many of them, I know. The only decent kia, maybe the K900 i had.
"Ez pz lemon squeezy and boom there you go make yourself some lemonade" Joe you're killing me with these LOL. This is why you're our favorite car reviewer: knowledgeable, fun, energetic and really down to earth, keep up the great work man you're great!
Agreed Andre.
Looks much better
Was looking at Traverse and Pathfinder. Wound up buying the Pathfinder. Was a great value, the driving experience felt more refined than any Traverse I’ve driven, the interior on the Platinum is pretty high quality, it’s manageable for the family and easy to drive in tight spaces, and it has loads of storage. It just works.
We used to be a Chevy and Ford family. To each their own, but totally happy with the 2022 Pathfinder. It checked all of our boxes.
It's nice but definitely I will chose the Kia Telluride 😍
I got both
Traverse better feel
I don’t understand the split headlight/drl trend, like how well do those headlights work when they look like they’re only a foot off the ground? Wonder if they will be worse than the pre-refresh which has them up much higher.
I agree, I think it's stupid. I also hate how Hyundai/Kia are now also doing the turn signals real low in the bumper on the rear as well. Looks tacky imo, and on the more expensive options, it's just a huge zonk.
@@bourbon.36 It's gotta be a safety concern with those low turn signals as well, very easily obstructed or hard to notice at all when they're that low to the ground, I guess side markers and mirror signals are much more common now so that helps.
Great video of the Chevrolet Traverse and it's a dandy. Thanks Lori you're a great videographer love your work!
We are so glad that you like this Traverse Luis!
I think you should get yourself a water bottle that says, "If you're ready I'm ready" with the logo and then "ZONKMAN" so you can use itm
Huge Zonk for the unchanged interior
Thats what I allways dislike about GM vehicles. They are slow to update the interiors to the point the still looked dated compared to other brands
They don't normally do interior refreshes. That's normally for the redesign or emergency refresh. That or if there is new tech to be added.
But don't get me wrong, I'm not in favor of this method. The new Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, and Escalade, all have the new interior design. They should have implemented that interior into the new refreshes. Because it would have brought some fresh design to their aging vehicles.
7 in standard infotainment and Optional 8 inch on this big ass vehicle at this price range is laughable
This is a Premier trim? I didn't see any front radar sensors, just a forward camera. No adaptive cruise?
Yeah Chevy sometimes gates a lot of desirable features behind the highest trims compared to a lot of other automakers who offer them on lower trims if not standard.
love the review and I agree with your zonks 100% the last 5-6 years Chevy has penny pinched on features where they should take the extra step. By now if you're paying for the top trim on any model, you should have a lcd/led cluster just like how hyundai/kia offer. I have a Bolt EUV reserved but I am inching towards something else. always love the reviews Joe!
Dude , I love how you do this whole thing in pretty much one take 🙌🏾👌🏾”chefs kiss”
Love Chevy, love my equinox, love this new traverse. Everything Chevy is coming out with these days is a major home run. Love the videos.
Except they don't last. I got 130,000 miles our of my equinox and 167,000 out of my diesel suburban. Both engines wore out with oil changes at 2500 miles.
You don’t have to start the vehicle to turn on the electronics inside. Push the start button without stepping on the break. Like turning the key a quarter of the way back on the day.
I’d rather have my Jim Brown autographed football.😂😂
Just got a 21 palisade calligraphy 🔥🔥🔥 not even worthy of a comparison.
Great changes and better interior but I'll definitely take the telluride over this. That suv has been selling like hot cakes
You are so very right about that and it is the way that I would go for sure!
But if you can get a large discount on this versus a Telluride which are constantly having dealer markups, that's a 10-14k difference in savings
@@Striker50_ from my research the discounts aren't that great on a lot of cars at this time. If you do your hw and are willing to wait then you can get a Telluride at MSRP. Either way the Telluride has a lower MSRP than the Traverse.
@@mikke906 Get a previous model Traverse and you'll probably save a boat load; same exact interior and Chevy has massive incentives
@@Striker50_ less discount means better resale value. Look up used Telluride prices lol
I’ve always liked looking at vehicles even when I was little I’m 18 now can’t drive but still love looking at new cars
Well, we still went with Telluride SX.. the sporty looks, fewer in the roads, and high resale value plus kia’s warranty👍
The Chevrolet Traverse is No. One in My Book. Its a lot more qualified and much more better running Truck than any of its nearest competition much more dependable. The interior is of high quality in my book
Yeah, my family has always been chevy people, but I'm tired of them playing it safe and boring.
Stop buying trash
GM products are trash and so is the company.
1000% agree, jlozano2014!! My heart is Chevy but my driveway will be old school Chevy and Kia Telluride lol
Yeah, growing up, my Dad drove Caddy's, kept Mom in the top Chevy, usually an Impala. Chevy's were always stylish and up to date....less expensive than the other GM offerings..... Pontiac, Buick, Olds, Cadillac....Chevy sold more than their siblings....the public SAW more of them....and as a teen, you could just DO more with a Chevy for less..... can't really say what went wrong, but I miss my days as a GM/Chevy guy.....an Acura guy now.
@@raymondtuckerjr1886 I was Acura for so many years until they quit making two doors. Gave my 03 CL Type-S to my daughter a couple years ago. No sign of them getting back into coupes and I can't spend the money for an NSX lol
Palisade and Telluride still class leaders in this segment and for less money while looking way better
You are 100% right! It is interesting how things have turned out.
@@RaitisRides In the real world, they are NOT less money.
Looks good on the outside but as usual, the interior looks cheap.
Chevy did a really nice job on this refresh. The interior is not in the same class as the Telluride... But the exterior looks are greatly improved!
Let's go GM!!🔥🔥🔥 NOW the front end is looking nice matching with the rear end whooohooo!!!! Thanks for making this video for us JOE!!!
Thanks Joe and Lori for the auto show review. 3-row suv is currently on my radar.
We are so glad that we could bring it to you!
I wish they updated the interior though, it looks old to me.
If they did a refresh or mid one since the major styling change like the other makes it'll be another 2-4 years before they redesign it inside and out totally.
I like how the hood struts were a big point, I mean its a chevy you're going to have the hood open alot so I guess its nice
This is a gm vehicle that I do enjoy driving. It’s pretty smooth, got plenty of space, and it looks decent. I just wish gm had better overall reliability cause I do like how their vehicles are setup
the reliability issues i had with my 2019 traverse is why I made the switch to the Telluride
Good review! We bought a 2019 Traverse Premier in Cajun Tin Coat Red! Really turns a lot of heads at the red lights! I don’t think the refresh is that big of a deal, other than a bit more aggressive grill and a little retouches on the tail lights, it still looks like the 2018-2021, certainly not enough of a refresh for me to trade mine for a new one. However, we both love the Traverse, it’s power, ride comfort and room. So far, we’ve been totally satisfied.
First of all, AWESOME video as always! 😎
Second of all, like every other comment states.. the outside looks amazing! The interior though… mehhhh. If a company truly wants to compete with others you’d THINK that they would put time and money into BOTH the interior and exterior, not just the exterior alone. It blows my mind that Chevy can slap such a high sticker price on this thing with every feature it doesn’t come with! No heads-up-display, no ventilated second row seats, no panoramic sunroof, no front parking sensors. Yikes, I’ll take the new Grand Cherokee please!!
Yup. Interior is boring. I went with a palisade
Needs
1.super cruise
2.Rearview mirror camera
3. Fully powered sunroof and shade
4. Possibly 10in screen
For being newer it still looks outdated to me, but it’s still a nice SUV. Enjoyed the review!
I was thinking the same thing
I like the freshen up,it looks a lot better I was looking at the telluride also I have a Tiguan the lease is ending beginning of next year so need a replacement, the telluride is nice also but there’s a huge mark up on them like 10k or so CRAZY! For a suv so the transverse might be a good option thanks for a great review like always 👍🏼
answer...no, no it's not...
Chevy’s interior still stuck in early 2000.
Love the heated steering wheel. Can’t wait to use it in Vegas! 😂😂
Good fascia update except for the headlights located at the fog lights area. That shouldn’t be there, in my opinion.
I’m telling you as a person who has lots of time in 3 rows, the two best in the class are this and the Telluride. When you see the Chevy in person you will get a great impression. It drives much better than the Atlas or just about every vehicle in the segment. Could use a few new tech features like automatic braking standard, but this is my favorite in the class hands down
I don't think that having the rear wiper at the top would be an advantage, simply because your visibility in the rain wouldn't be sufficient. When it wipes from the bottom of the rear glass, the wiping area is flat at the bottom of the glass, instead of being a half circle if wiping from the top.
Thanks for the video Joe! I still don't see it better than the Telluride, especially at the value you get (assuming you get it at a dealership that won't charge and arm and a leg). Finally will be on the search for my Telluride. Any dealerships you recommend here in the Chicago area? I was planning on heading to the auto show but then I asked myself... "Why? If I already know I'm going to pick Telluride"
@@handlemycomments yeah got it last Saturday
Say What you will, Chevrolet is the best in the SUV business. These things are HUGE, practical and powerful. 9 Speed transmission, ... No compromise spacious interiors, They put the Utility in the sUv.
GM still using cheap plastic. The car already looks 10 years old
Chevy needs to step up their interiors. more modern features and looks. Give the leather seats some character. Update the gauges and whole dash area. Make it look like a full redesigned interior instead of a slightly updated version of the previous.
It is definitely good-looking. I'd take it over the KIA on looks alone.
Why I love the Raitis - the beginning intro info is awesome and the way Joe talks to the crowd like “it’s hot wiping my sweat” the little conversational pieces. Makes me feel like friends…. Friends who can share a bag of twinkies.
Well, based off my experience with both my 2009 and 2016 Buick Enclaves(which are basically the same vehicle), I'm not impressed with GM's engineering prowess. It seems they just cannot build vehicles that actually last. The front suspension on my 2016 always seems to have a bit of looseness in it, such that there is a rattling sound over undulating surfaces. The Buick shop did replace some bushings, which helped for few months, but it's now back to the loose sensation. My 2009 Enclave had the dreaded transmission wave plate failure. My 2016( with 66k miles on it) transmission is doing some funky things now as well. The A/C went out on my 2016 went out with less than 60k miles and they had to replace the rear condensing unit, which is where the leak apparently was. Also, the Telluride and Palisade are almost as roomy and offer a 60,000 mile warranty vs the Traverse's 36k warranty.
No they offer a 10 year/10,000 mile warranty on the power train. Its 5 year/60 thousand for the bumper to bumper.
@@chalpua8802 Yes, like I said, 60k mile warranty for Hyundai and Kia. 36k for the Traverse.
60k base warranty
Chery came a long way . I like the black bow tie better then the yellow bow tie .mine is yellow I am going to change it. This suv should have had a black. It is still a beautiful car🥰

Definitely liking the new look and upgrades. Test drove just about all the ‘21 brands and me and the wife felt like the GM’s drove near best with power and feel.
It looks pretty much the same. Just minor lighting changes to me.
You could have put the car in service mode by holding down the start button for about 5 seconds and it is like the on mode with a car with a key. But still loved the review!
really liking the interior, steering wheel needs some work though. Love the little compartments in the door panel too !
