2025 Chevrolet Traverse
Federal crash-test performance, recalls, and complaints, scored into one NHTSA Safety Index.
The Chevrolet Traverse is a three-row midsize SUV aimed squarely at families who need real passenger and cargo capacity without stepping up to a full-size rig. Competing against the Ford Explorer and Honda Pilot, the Traverse has been one of GM's volume sellers in this segment since its second generation launched for 2018. It seats up to eight and leans on a practical, value-forward identity.
The 2025 Chevrolet Traverse earns an NHTSA Safety Index of 86 out of 100, an strong result driven by its federal crash-test stars and its recall record. Both frontal and side crash protection reached the full 5 stars. No vehicle recalls are on file for this model year.

Reviewers generally regard the Traverse as a family-friendly, spacious midsize SUV that delivers competitive practicality and a comfortable ride for its segment. Most praise its interior room and ease of use, while noting that it does not feel like a driver-focused vehicle. Some reviewers flag that newer competitors have raised the bar on refinement and technology.
