2018 Chevrolet Traverse Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits Chevrolet's proven 3.6-liter V6 engine, producing 310 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a smooth 9-speed automatic transmission, this powertrain delivers a confident, responsive driving experience that never feels underpowered — even when the SUV is fully loaded with passengers and cargo. The all-wheel drive system adds real-world capability for Michigan winters, giving you traction confidence on snow-covered Detroit roads, icy highways, and everything in between. The 3.6-liter V6 also returns reasonable fuel economy for its size, making it a practical everyday driver for families.
 

Chevrolet Traverse Premier Features and Interior

The Premier trim was Chevy's flagship Traverse package in 2018, and it shows. Expect premium leather-appointed seating, heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and second-row captain's chairs for a more comfortable mid-row experience. The Traverse Premier also includes a large touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a Bose premium audio system, rear-seat entertainment capabilities, tri-zone automatic climate control, and a power panoramic sunroof. Safety technology includes forward collision alert, lane keep assist, rear cross-traffic alert, and a surround-vision camera system. This is genuinely a feature-rich SUV that competes directly with luxury-branded three-row alternatives.
 

Chevrolet Traverse Reliability and Ownership

The 2018 Traverse redesign addressed many of the concerns owners had with previous generations. The 3.6-liter V6 is one of GM's most battle-tested engines, found across a range of vehicles with strong long-term reliability records. Common ownership advice includes staying current on transmission fluid services given the 9-speed unit, keeping up with spark plug replacement around the 100,000-mile mark, and monitoring the timing chain if service history is unknown. Overall, owners report high satisfaction with ride quality, interior space, and the SUV's durability. With the right care, a 2018 Traverse can serve a family reliably for many more years.
