2019 Chevrolet Traverse Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits Chevrolet's 3.6-liter V6, a naturally aspirated engine that has earned a strong reputation across the GM lineup for smooth power delivery and solid durability. Paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, this Traverse is ready for everything Metro Detroit throws at it — from Lodge Freeway stop-and-go traffic to snowy side streets in January. The 9-speed gearbox keeps the engine in its power band efficiently, helping balance performance with reasonable fuel economy for a vehicle this size.

The AWD system adds genuine confidence on wet and icy pavement, making this Traverse a practical year-round hauler for Michigan winters and beyond.
 

Chevrolet Traverse LT Features and Interior

The LT trim sits in the middle of the Traverse lineup and brings a well-rounded set of features that go well beyond base. Buyers can expect a configurable three-row interior with seating for up to seven or eight passengers depending on configuration, a 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, available heated front seats, tri-zone climate control, and a rear vision camera. The cabin is notably spacious — one of the largest in its class — with flexible second and third row seating that collapses to open up serious cargo capacity when you need it.

Soft-touch materials, easy-to-read gauges, and thoughtful storage throughout the cabin make the LT feel like a genuinely comfortable daily driver rather than a stripped-down compromise.
 

Chevrolet Traverse Reliability and Ownership

The 2019 Traverse benefits from a major redesign the year prior, which addressed many of the complaints owners had about the first-generation model. The 3.6L V6 has been used across multiple GM platforms for well over a decade and is known for reliability when oil changes and basic maintenance are kept up. At higher mileage, owners should pay attention to transmission fluid condition, timing chain service history, and the health of the AWD system — but none of these are unusual concerns for any vehicle approaching 150,000 miles.

Consumer feedback on the second-gen Traverse consistently praises its ride quality, interior space, and infotainment system. It competes favorably against the Ford Explorer, Honda Pilot, and Dodge Durango in the used market — and often comes in at a lower price point for comparable features.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2019 Chevrolet Traverse a good buy?

Yes — the 2019 Traverse is widely regarded as a significant improvement over the first-generation model. It offers best-in-class interior space, a smooth V6, and a well-equipped LT trim that gives families the features they actually use. At the right price, it represents strong value in the used three-row SUV segment.
 

Is 142,000 miles too many for a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse?

Not necessarily. The 3.6L V6 in the Traverse is known to run well past 150,000–200,000 miles with consistent maintenance. The key is reviewing the service history, checking for any deferred maintenance, and having a trusted mechanic inspect the vehicle before purchase. Many buyers find high-mileage Traverses offer excellent value when the fundamentals are solid.
 

What does the Traverse LT trim include?

The LT trim adds meaningfully over the base LS, typically including an 8-inch infotainment screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a power liftgate, heated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, additional driver assistance features, and upgraded interior trim. It strikes a practical balance between value and comfort.
 

Does the 2019 Traverse have AWD?

This specific vehicle is equipped with all-wheel drive, which is a meaningful advantage in Michigan's winters. The AWD system automatically distributes torque to the wheels with the most traction, improving stability on snow, ice, and wet roads without any input from the driver.
 

How does the 2019 Traverse compare to the Honda Pilot or Ford Explorer?

The Traverse offers more passenger and cargo space than either competitor at the same model year. The Honda Pilot has a slight edge in long-term reliability perception, while the Explorer offers a sportier drive. For sheer room and value in the used market, the Traverse is hard to beat — especially when AWD is included.
