About This 2018 Chevrolet Traverse Premier

The 2018 Chevrolet Traverse was a landmark year for this popular three-row SUV — Chevy completely redesigned it, giving it a longer wheelbase, a more sophisticated interior, and improved fuel efficiency over its predecessor. This particular example has covered 130,047 miles, which for a well-maintained 3.6-liter V6 Traverse is well within the range of a vehicle that still has significant life ahead of it. The Premier trim sits at the top of the Traverse lineup, meaning this SUV was loaded from the factory with features that most buyers spend extra to add. See our current price on this page and discover just how competitively this Premier is positioned against similar vehicles in the Detroit market.

2018 Chevrolet Traverse Performance and Engine

3.6-Liter V6 Power

Under the hood, the 2018 Traverse Premier carries Chevrolet's proven 3.6-liter V6 engine, an powerplant that has earned a strong reputation across the GM lineup for smooth delivery and durable long-term performance. Paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, this combination offers responsive acceleration whether you're merging onto I-75, navigating the Lodge Freeway, or loading up the family for a weekend trip up north.

The All-Wheel Drive system adds confidence in Michigan's frequently challenging weather conditions — from Detroit's icy winter streets to wet spring highways throughout Wayne County. The 2018 redesign also brought an improved suspension setup that makes the Traverse feel composed and car-like to drive despite its three-row SUV size.

Chevrolet Traverse Premier Features and Interior

Top-Trim Comfort and Technology

The Premier trim is where the Traverse truly shines as a premium family hauler. Expect features like leather-appointed seating surfaces, heated and ventilated front seats, a heated second-row, and a power panoramic sunroof that transforms the cabin atmosphere on a clear Michigan afternoon. The infotainment system supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the available built-in navigation makes it easy to get around Detroit and beyond without relying solely on your phone.

Three full rows of seating mean this Traverse can accommodate up to eight passengers, and the Premier's attention to noise insulation and interior material quality makes longer trips genuinely comfortable. Dual-zone automatic climate control, a Bose premium audio system, power-folding third-row seats, and a hands-free power liftgate are hallmarks of this trim that buyers coming from lesser trims immediately notice and appreciate.

Chevrolet Traverse Reliability and Ownership

What Owners Say About the 2018 Traverse

The 2018 redesigned Traverse received notably better reliability marks than the first-generation model, with owners consistently praising the 3.6-liter V6's durability and the overall build quality improvement Chevy delivered. At 130,047 miles, prospective buyers should ensure routine maintenance like transmission fluid changes, spark plugs, and accessory belt service are up to date — all reasonable upkeep for a vehicle at this mileage.

Common ownership feedback highlights how well the Traverse handles Michigan winters in AWD configuration, the spaciousness that makes it practical for everyday family use, and the relatively low cost of maintenance compared to European three-row competitors. This is a vehicle platform that, with proper care, regularly sees 200,000-plus miles on the odometer.
