CarScoops reader Brett has snapped the 2024 Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia in beautiful Summit County, Colorado. Starting with the redesigned Acadia, it’s heavily camouflaged but appears to be a rugged AT4 or AT4X variant. Regardless of what it is, the model features two-tone wheels that are wrapped in meaty Goodyear Wrangler rubber.
Additional details are hard to make out,
but the Acadia is returning to its full-size roots after shrinking in its
second-generation. As a result, we can expect a vastly improved third-row,
which can’t come soon enough as the current model offers a mere 754 mm of third-row legroom. That’s significantly less than the current
Chevrolet Traverse, which offers a far more generous 850 mm of
legroom.
Speaking of the Traverse, the redesigned
crossover was spotted alongside a sedan that we’ll talk about in a separate
article. It features a prominent single bar grille with mesh inserts. We can
also see slender headlights and a wide lower intake. Elsewhere, there are black
wheels wrapped in street-focused tires. The model also appears to be the same
size as the Acadia, which we alluded to earlier.
The current Acadia is available with a
turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that develops 228 hp and 349 Nm of torque. Customers can also upgrade to a 3.6-liter V6,
which produces 310 hp and 367 Nm of torque. The
Traverse, on the other hand, is available exclusively with the V6, but it has a
slightly reduced output of 310 hp and 360 Nm of
torque.
While it’s possible that engine options
could carryover, the crossovers may be equipped with the turbocharged 2.7-liter
four-cylinder that powers the 2023 Chevrolet Colorado. In the pickup, the
engine has three different outputs ranging from 237 hp and 351 Nm of torque to 310 hp and 582 Nm of torque. We shouldn’t have to wait much longer to find out as the redesigned
Acadia and Traverse are expected to be introduced next year.
