Chevrolet Traverse Depreciation

The 2016 Chevrolet Traverse is our top pick for the best model year value for the Traverse. With the 2016, you would only pay, on average, 50% of the price as new, with 67% of the vehicle's useful life remaining. The 2015 and 2017 model years are also attractive years for the Traverse, and provide a relatively good value. Our rankings consider multiple factors, including the Traverse's price as new, current price, maintenance costs and remaining years of overall predictabe expenses. Our top ranked model year represents the most car for the money of the Chevrolet Traverse models.

We aggregate and analyze millions of automotive data points from a variety of sources, including some of the industry's leading data providers. The historical depreciation tables, charts, values and overall rankings are conducted on a semi-annual basis, with our most recent update published in September 2020.

While the "Useful Lifespan" of a vehicle will vary greatly from one model to the next, and even one owner to the next, we have determined that twelve years is the most appropriate timeframe which will yield us good, usable data - and that any data beyond that timeframe becomes more dispersed, and ultimately less reliable. Moreover, maintenance costs beyond that timeframe become significantly more varied, as a vehicle owner's care of a particular vehicle will greatly impact its value, and ongoing maintenance costs. We are very much hopeful, however, that your car or truck will last well beyond twelve years, and that it gets you to where you want to go.
