Chevrolet Traverse Depreciation & Resale Value

Chevrolet Traverse keeps an estimated 53% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #324 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Chevrolet Traverse retains an estimated 53% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #324 of 530 cars we track. That trails the 58% five-year average for SUV in its class by 4 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Chevrolet Traverse sheds about 3% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $40,800 it falls to around $21,705 by year five — a five-year loss near $19,095, about $10.46 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Chevrolet Traverse bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
