About This 2018 Chevrolet Traverse Premier

The 2018 Traverse was a complete ground-up redesign from Chevrolet — larger, more refined, and significantly more capable than the previous generation. This particular example, Stock #10966S, sits at the top of the lineup in Premier trim, meaning it left the factory loaded with premium features and creature comforts that make every drive feel intentional. At under 50,000 miles, this SUV has plenty of life ahead of it, and the AWD drivetrain makes it an ideal year-round vehicle for Detroit drivers who know exactly what a Michigan winter looks like.

Whether you're hauling kids to school in Dearborn, navigating I-75 on the daily commute, or loading up for a weekend trip up north, this Traverse checks every box a Michigan family needs.

2018 Chevrolet Traverse Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits Chevrolet's proven 3.6-liter V6 engine, a powerplant known for smooth, confident power delivery across the full RPM range. Paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, this combination produces refined highway cruising, responsive passing power, and the kind of towing capability — up to 5,000 lbs when properly equipped — that lets you bring the boat or camper along without a second thought.

The all-wheel-drive system on this Traverse actively manages traction and power distribution between all four wheels, giving you stability and confidence whether you're dealing with icy Detroit streets in January or wet highway ramps any time of year. The 9-speed transmission keeps the engine in its sweet spot, contributing to solid fuel economy for a full-size three-row SUV.

Chevrolet Traverse Premier Features and Interior

The Premier trim is where the Traverse gets genuinely luxurious. Expect leather-appointed seating surfaces, heated and ventilated front seats, a heated second-row bench or captain's chairs, and a heated steering wheel — a feature Detroit drivers will appreciate deeply come December.

Technology is well represented here too. The Premier comes standard with Chevrolet's Infotainment 3 system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, a large touchscreen display, Bose premium audio, and available rear-seat entertainment. Safety tech includes forward collision alert, lane keep assist, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, and a surround-view camera system that makes parking this full-size SUV far less stressful than you'd expect.

Chevrolet Traverse Reliability and Ownership

The 2018 Traverse redesign was widely praised by automotive reviewers and real-world owners alike. The 3.6-liter V6 engine has a long track record of durability across multiple Chevrolet and GM platforms, and when maintained properly, it routinely reaches 200,000 miles or more. At 46,577 miles, this example is well within the most reliable years of its service life.

Owners consistently highlight the Traverse's comfortable ride quality, its genuinely usable third-row seating, and the ease of daily driving in a package this size. Common owner feedback praises the quiet cabin, the intuitive infotainment interface, and how capable it feels in adverse weather conditions — especially relevant here in Wayne County. Routine maintenance needs are modest: oil changes, tire rotations, and brake inspections are the primary ownership costs at this mileage.
