Chevrolet Traverse Dump V6 Engine, Enter New Turbo Power and Eight-Speed Gearbox

Chevrolet don bring out the 2024 Traverse wey dem redesign, and the biggest change dey under the bonnet. Di three-row crossover, wey dem plan to begin sell for early 2024, come with 2.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Na completely new engine for General Motors, and dem give am production code LK0.

Di new engine replace di 3.6-litre naturally-aspirated V6 and di 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder wey di old model use. Chevrolet estimate say di 2.5-litre go push 315 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque, wey be 430 Newton metres. Di V6 wey e replace bin get 310 horsepower and 266 pound-feet, or 360 Newton metres, while di 2.0-litre bin get 257 horsepower and 295 pound-feet, wey be 400 Newton metres. So di new mill get more power and more torque pass both of dem.

Gearbox also change. Instead of di nine-speed wey 2023 and older models carry, di 2024 Traverse use eight-speed automatic. Di shifter dey mount for di steering column.

Even though Chevrolet dey call di vehicle “all-new”, e still sit on di C1XX platform wey di 2023 model use. Di same architecture dey under GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave and Cadillac XT6.

Autoweek report say di 2024 Traverse come with boxier shape, Z71 badges, and 17.7-inch touchscreen media controller.

For di 2025 model wey Forbes test-drive, di Traverse na midsize three-row crossover and na di second-largest SUV for Chevrolet consumer lineup, sitting just below Tahoe and Suburban.

Car and Driver, for im own review, praise di interior space, note say even adults fit sit for di third row, and talk about di firm brake pedal feel. But di review still point out say di turbo four engine dey sound gruff, di steering dey slow, and di fuel economy gain over di old model no too much. For di 2025 version, di magazine note say di third row big enough for adults and cargo space plenty, plus Super Cruise dey available, but engine noise no refined and hard plastics full di interior.
