with the off-road versions of the Jeep Grand Cherokee L and other midsize SUVs.

Given that all of its competitors in the midsize SUV market seemed and felt more upscale,

the Chevrolet Traverse was undoubtedly not the most alluring product on the market.

However, the Traverse is one of Chevy's most lucrative vehicles,

so the automaker just needed to introduce a new generation to maintain its dominance in this market.

Chevy just unveiled the new Traverse, which has some encouraging updates and looks opulent inside and out, with only half of 2023 remaining.
