Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

With a sloping roofline similar to the Buick Enclave and front end similar to the Chevy Malibu, the Traverse is one of the more stylish SUVs on the market.

  • "Although Traverse sits on the same Lambda platform upon which the Saturn Outlook, GMC Acadia, and Buick Enclave ride, and it's arguably the least successful styling exercise of the four, perhaps due to the fact Chevy wasn't initially slated to get a Lambda vehicle -- it looks hurried." -- Jalopnik
  • "Wind-tunnel testing helped give the vehicle a sleek exterior, with a 0.33 coefficient of drag." -- Fort Worth Star-Telegram
  • "The Traverse sports the same stacked grille as the redesigned Chevy Malibu. The high beltline and tall roof are typical of most large crossovers, while the taillights recall Chevy's Camaro concept." -- Cars.com
  • "Styling is a bit more contemporary than its stablemates at Saturn and GMC." -- Kelley Blue Book.
