Anyone here drive a 2024 Traverse? Tell me about it...

2023 bought new in September 2022. No problems holding the road in 4" snow conditions, [4wd and all wheel drive options]. Ours was built during the chip shortage so no power seats or heated seats. Comfortable for 4 people and their luggage for a week long road trip. Smallest was 5'6". Gets around 27 mpg at 80 mph and crossing the continental divide. Handles well and is comfortable in seating, climate and leg room areas. Three thermostats, two up front and one for the rear. Reasonably quiet.

Cons? They don't bounce off of elk with out repercussions. I had it 5 weeks when I hit one and it was 7 weeks getting all the parts and repairs done.

I was looking for a used one, found a large NW dealership could order me in a new one for $3000-$5000 less than the used ones thet had with 24K miles on it.

The 2024 only comes with the 4-cylinder turbo. They are brand new having been introduced late in the '24 model year. I'd be surprised if anyone here has one. The "First Drives" in the motoring mags only recently appeared.

Have had my 2023 for 22 months. Mine is 6 cyl wife and I like the ride. Just used it to go to the U P here in MI. to bring grandson home from college, 6 hrs each way. It is fairly loaded with options, if we get another it will be AWD or 4WD.

I don't know about the 2024's, but my 2017 Buick Enclave instruction book says Buick Enclave or Chevy Traverse. Engine, running gear, and interior controls the same.

I believe much of the difference is in the seat configurations. 2023 Traverse has 2 buckets up front, split bench for 3 behind it and a fold up bench for 3 in the rear.

Actually, that was an option. We had been looking for one like it but came up short. All the dealers were ordering the 7-passenger model, which came with second row buckets.

We use the car for business towing and have those buckets were a pita. But I did solve the problem by adding a board over the folded down buckets to provide a 100% flat cargo area.

We bought the 23 Traverse at the last minute, after seeing the specs for the 24 model. Only a dinky engine powered by gerbils now. We also require the towing package. No way am I not going to have a 6 cyl, even if they do specify a 5,000 lb. package with the 4-cyl. Also, I thought the new design looked ugly.

We traded in a 2017 Traverse, which had served us well.

Thank you all for the comments. It's been sort of between a new Traverse or a new Toyota Highlander. I'm not adverse to the four-cylinder engines of the newer vehicles if they perform adequately.
