2022 Chevy Traverse // REFRESHED, but is it Better than Telluride or Highlander?? 

"Raiti's Rides" is also good.

@@andoniades I agree. I watch him,too.

@@andoniades that guy always asking questions with his video titles

Thanks so much, Daniel! We really appreciate the kind words! 😁

Except car seats. If it’s a family car, you got to touch on it.

Thank you!

Thank you, Susan! Welcome to the Car Confections family!

I see that now. Thanks for the heads up!

And adaptive cruise control

@@jocarrillo52 Adaptive cruise control only for the highest trim? I can get that STANDARD on a toyota corolla.

@@aimxdy8680 thats how american cpmpanies are they charge an arm and leg for something that only cost 500$ or less in parts and labor

@@jocarrillo52 Even my 2021 Honda odyssey minivan BASE model (EX model) has more features than the highest trim chevy traverse and the EX is 30,000 dollars NEW. and the odyssey offers more space while being cheaper, the Traverse is so expensive yet has 2x LESS Space than odyssey and less features.

Yes, all of the necessary parts are pre-installed on the vehicle now. The seats on this model already has the ventilation motors built in. But you're right: A $50 credit seems paltry, particularly when nobody knows when the chip shortage will end.

2 much plastic for the price point .

@@hellkitty1014 strange they didn't put the buttons in the dash so future can just add the chip

@@shane401 they probably want to ensure that a chevy affiliated mechanic or dealership has to put in the chip, instead of diy enthusiasts or regular mechanics

If only you knew that the Germans control the technology to manufacture chips. You can’t buy a large scale chip producing machine, it’s proprietary and you’ll have to subscribe to a certified German technician to operate, troubleshoot and maintain the machines

Thanks, Amanda!

You're welcome, thanks for watching!

@@CarConfections Keep up the good work guys! I really like your reviews. Been watching for 3 years already 😁

Why do you say that? Just curious. I have test drove an Acura MDX and RDX and while their leather is a little bit more sumptuous it can not compete with the space. What else if disappointing? I am ready to downsize because my kids drive now so looking to trade in my beloved Traverse. What should I look at?

What’s so disappointing about it? It’s not trying to be a fake luxury car. It has amazing tech for the price point and a tried and true drivetrain that will last and be reliable. One of the punchiest and smoothest engines in the segment. Best styling imo over the smaller 3 row competitors, boast the most spacious cabin of segment including third row, and it has great ride comfort handling/composure on the road for it’s size too.

@@natalieweizenegger4607 Look at the Chevrolet Blazer. You won’t be disappointed.

Actually you bought a chevy first then Pontiac, then Oldsmobile, then buick.....then caddy. All GM classics

Chevrolet and Ford are a joke. Reliably is not good. Jeep. Chrysler too

Awesome! We love to hear from locals! Next year we're going to try to go cars and coffee more frequently so maybe we will bump into each other sometime

Nobody cares what your job is in RU-vid comments.

How often do you touch your dash that it needs to be soft touch?

@@sixsixST2 exactly and no matter how you slice it this isn’t a luxury crossover.

@@Chrisp707- Neither is the Honda Civic, but it still has a better interior...lol

I’m telling you it’s fine. They get dings for this by reviewers but as long as you have leather, it’s an extremely nice place to be. All the places you rest and touch are comfortable. Look at the car for yourself in person, it’s really not an issue

@@jeansmith7482 honda civic😂

Damn you got fucked over

At least they will retrofit your vehicle with it next year

Unbelievable...

Imagine trading in a 1 year old car

I traded in my two year old lease and got equity out of it. A lot of people are doing this right now.

Glad you liked it 😁

Yess! I LOVE my 2020 LT.

Whats your average mpg?😊

@@thetruthyes 21.5

It's too bad Chevy, GM in general. But they are full steam going to EV's. I've been advocating to replace the 3.6 v6 with the 2 7t from the Silverado for a couple years. Similar power, but more beneficial torque. Which would help with the Traverse's weight. Adding that 4 cylinder to most, if not all of their CUV's would help with performance. Even in the Camaro, replacing both the v6 and the 2.0t with the 2.7t. It would make all Camaro models sub 5 secs to 60.

Thanks man! 😁

Why did you give up the highlander

@@Castelanu91 I wanted more space behind the third row seats. My 2011 Highlander had very little when I put up the third row. Also, here in Hawaii there are tons of Toyotas on the road - I wanted something different.

How are the headlights? I thought it had headlights on top but I noticed they are kinda where the fogs are.

@@justinrozon7 yes the headlights are where the fog lights use to be. I haven't driven much at night and here in Honolulu the streets are well lit so haven't really noticed how they are. I'll try get a night picture posted soon. Under the headlights are dummy plates. Hopefully some aftermarket fog/driving lights will be made for that spot.

The Buick is probably the most overlooked car on the road. We drove it and I loved it, But the high country won just because of the Buick blue hair thing And I'm old but I have a 67 Camaro too.

التصميم الخارجي للترافرس 2022 أجمل بكثير من الدورانجوا و ألأكسبلورر .... جنرال موتورز في القمّه 😌👏🏽👏🏽

Thank you!

That's what happens when you buy Chevy. Next time buy a Toyota Highlander 🤪

Reliability has improved and is now a consumer reports magazine recommended vehicle.

@@Jose-oo7zp Except that's a joke of a 3rd row vehicle though. Toyota reliability notwithstanding, of course. Toyota Sequoia is the comp if you're being honest.

thanks for the comment you helped me buy one tonight 🙏

Even if it had heated seats it is still not worth 52K. At that price point the interior hard plastic needs to go.

Wow. You guys hold on a second. You are not going to pay MSRP for this vehicle. You can find deals on these pretty easily. What this vehicle offers the others don’t is two things. Bullet proof engine that has been out for a long time and used in almost every GM lineup vehicle, including performance cars such as camaro pushing 310+ hp. Second and the most important one is space. This vehicle offers the most space out of all three row vehicles in the market. It beats even Grand Highlander by a good margin. The cargo space behind third row is huge. Forget about the plastics and heads up display. Even with that 310+ hp the Traverse also gets good gas mileage. One last thing to point out is how cheap it is to maintain this suv. Any mechanic can fix it because it is a Chevy and parts are available everywhere in US. Again, forget about the cheap plastics and hud but try look behind that. The purpose of a 3 row is to haul people and cargo. This one right here does it the best.

i test drove a premier that had HUD, heated/ventilated front and heated rear seats… this video is outdated

I cover all the glossy trim pieces with carbon fiber on my 2018 traverse. It looks much nicer without all that shiny gloss that creates finger prints and glares in your eye in direct sunlight.

Palisade and Telluride have good space even third row can accommodate better then Highlander and Pilot

But for that price you can have a hybrid Highlander 35 hwy/36 city mpg.

Grand Highlander

That's why I got a Palisade back in late September. Calligraphy has all options for less and you get a better warranty and complimentary maintenance. Oh and my heated seats work 😆

I have ambient lighting in my 2019 Premier. I just thought he forgot to mention it or it was another chip thing.

I didn't realize they did not have the window shades. Definitely needed with little ones.

That is chevy for you. Nothing but issues. I now only buy Toyota.

@@jahr4c1what if Toyota develops big time problems????

Those are minor. Wait until the engine fails or it develops a nice transmission shudder like ours did.

Me too

Tweeters

I agree with you. I’m a Chevy owner myself and I am pretty unimpressed with interior quality and luxury. It’s way to basic and too much plastic. The Asian manufacturers make beautiful interiors.

The Buick Enclave is a fancy Traverse. This is a more affordable vehicle.

This is the same size as the Sequoia so ...

Highlander is small lol

Fast forward a few years and see what the Highlander resale value is vs the Traverse. Also be weary of that engine and transmission. A transmission failure of our 2016 Traverse is what pushed us to Toyota.

The Traverse has a button to turn off the stop/start.

The gmc doesn't have the same space behind the 3rd row seats.
