The full-size crossover SUV the Traverse from Chevrolet was brought in to replace the Trailblazer and Uplander minivan.

Consumer tastes in North America had changed from wanting big heavy SUVs and minivans to crossover SUVs that bore the benefits of a car with the huge space of an SUV.

Underneath the original Traverse, you can find the same chassis used by the GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave though it is lacking some of the luxury features of the Buick.

With the introduction of the second generation, the platform was refined and is now only shared with the Cadillac XT6 luxury full-size SUV.

The engine and transmission options for the Traverse have been fairly limited with only 1 transmission ever being offered and a single-engine choice on the first generation, although the second generation offers 2.

In terms of safety, the car does very well passing all tests 5 out of 5 stars apart from the rollover where it scored only 4 stars, common for large SUVs like this one.

Sales have appeared to have climbed during its lifetime pushing almost 150,000 sales in 2018 and 2019 as the company introduced the far superior second generation.

Many customers were seeking a more affordable version of the Cadillac XT6 which is priced more than $10,000 higher than the base model.
