U Spy The 2024 Chevrolet Traverse And GMC Acadia In Colorado

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 29.7 inches (754 mm) of third-row legroom. That’s significantly less than the current Chevrolet Traverse, which offers a far more generous 33.5 inches (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 (170 / 231 PS) and 258 lb-ft (349 Nm) of torque. Customers can also upgrade to a 3.6-liter V6, which produces 310 hp (231 kW / 314 PS) and 271 lb-ft (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 (231 kW / 314 PS) and 266 lb-ft (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 (177 kW / 240 PS) and 259 lb-ft (351 Nm) of torque to 310 hp (231 kW / 314 PS) and 430 lb-ft (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.
