📖Chevrolet Traverse II: lighter platform, refined 9-speed gearbox, and class-leading space

Chevrolet Traverse II (2018-2021)

The second-generation Traverse arrived on General Motors' modern C1XX platform, shedding over 150 kg while expanding passenger and cargo space. Its sculpted proportions and upscale cabin transformed it into one of the most compelling eight-seat crossovers in its class, challenging rivals like the Ford Explorer and Honda Pilot. It combines immense utility with noticeably sharper road holding, where routine Chevrolet Traverse maintenance ensures long-term powertrain durability.

The mechanical lineup is headlined by the refined 3.6-litre LFY V6 engine producing 310 hp, while the sporty RS variant briefly offered a 2.0-litre LTG turbo four-cylinder. Both engines are paired with GM's nine-speed automatic transmission and available disconnectable all-wheel drive. The LFY V6 eliminates many of the timing chain gremlins of its predecessor, but the nine-speed automatic gearbox and direct-injection fuel system still require meticulous servicing.

Owner notes

The reassuring points, known weak spots and deadlines you should not let slip.

Reassuring points

Reliability
  • Substantially reduced curb weight and stiffer chassis deliver composed handling and refined ride quality.
  • Class-leading third-row passenger legroom and cavernous cargo capacity with fold-flat seating.
  • The 3.6-litre LFY V6 delivers muscular, smooth acceleration with improved fuel economy.

Chronic weak spots

Keep an eye on
  • 3.6 V6 LFY: inspect thermostat housing, water pump seals, and engine oil condition for fuel dilution.
  • 2.0 turbo LTG (RS trim): monitor boost hoses, PCV valve, and ensure high-grade synthetic oil has been used.
  • 9T65 9-speed automatic gearbox: check for low-speed hesitation, ensure transmission software updates are applied.
  • AWD system: check rear drive unit disengagement and verify even tread wear across all four tyres.
  • Cabin conveniences: test Smart Slide second-row seats, hands-free tailgate sensors, and tri-zone climate control.

Critical deadlines

Do not miss
  • Renew engine oil with Dexos1 Gen 2/3 certified lubricant every 10,000 km to protect valve gear and direct injectors.
  • Service the 9T65 automatic transmission fluid and AWD rear drive unit oil at 60,000 km to maintain crisp shift action.
  • Inspect cooling system hoses and thermostat function every 60,000 km to prevent engine overheating under full load.
  • Check second-row seat latches, electric tailgate motors, and tri-zone A/C blowers during annual inspections.
