2018 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE

If you're searching for a 2018 Chevrolet Traverse Premier for sale in Bloomington, CA, your search ends here. Unique Auto Center has this sleek Black Traverse Premier Sport Utility priced at just $14,995 — an exceptional value for a well-equipped, full-size SUV that originally stickered well above $50,000 when new. With 95,822 miles on the clock and a Premier trim that loaded the vehicle with luxury features from the factory, this Traverse represents one of the smarter used-SUV buys in San Bernardino County right now.

About This 2018 Chevrolet Traverse Premier

The 2018 Traverse marked a complete redesign for Chevrolet — larger interior, sharper styling, and a far more refined driving experience than the previous generation. The Premier is the top-tier trim of the lineup, meaning this particular SUV left the factory with nearly every option Chevrolet offered. At just under 96,000 miles, this Traverse is solidly in the middle of its usable life. With proper maintenance, these SUVs routinely push past 200,000 miles, making the remaining value here genuinely significant.

The bold Black exterior gives this Traverse a commanding presence on the road — fitting for a vehicle this size. Whether you're running school pickups in Bloomington or loading up the third row for a weekend run out to Big Bear, this SUV is built for exactly that kind of life.

2018 Chevrolet Traverse Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits Chevrolet's proven 3.6-liter V6 engine, paired with a smooth-shifting 9-speed automatic transmission. This combination produces 310 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque — more than enough muscle to haul a full load of passengers and cargo without breaking a sweat. The 9-speed transmission was a significant upgrade for the 2018 redesign, allowing the engine to stay in its power band more efficiently and contributing to better highway fuel economy than the older 6-speed units.

This Traverse is configured with front-wheel drive, which is well-suited to Southern California driving conditions. FWD models also tend to carry a slight weight advantage over AWD versions, which marginally benefits fuel efficiency in daily stop-and-go driving along the I-10 or the 215 corridor through San Bernardino County.

Chevrolet Traverse Premier Features and Interior

Technology and Infotainment

The Premier trim brings a long list of standard features that most buyers would otherwise pay extra for. Expect an 8-inch diagonal color touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, a premium Bose 10-speaker audio system, and built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot capability. Navigation, voice command controls, and Chevrolet's MyLink interface round out a tech stack that still feels current by today's standards.

Comfort and Cabin Space

Three rows of seating with available second-row captain's chairs give the Traverse Premier the feel of a luxury people mover. The Premier adds leather-appointed seating, heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and rear-seat passengers aren't forgotten — second-row seats are heated as well. Power-adjustable pedals, a power liftgate, and dual-zone automatic climate control are among the convenience features that separate the Premier from lower trims like the LS or LT.

Safety Features

Chevrolet equipped the 2018 Traverse Premier with a robust safety suite including forward collision alert, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, blind-zone alert with rear cross-traffic alert, and a surround-view camera system. The Traverse earned strong safety scores from both NHTSA and IIHS for the 2018 model year, adding peace of mind for families.

Chevrolet Traverse Reliability and Ownership

The 2018 redesign addressed many of the reliability concerns that plagued earlier Traverse generations. Owners widely report that the 3.6-liter V6 is a durable, well-engineered unit when oil changes and cooling system maintenance are kept current. The 9-speed automatic transmission has a strong reputation in this application — smoother and more reliable than some competing units from other brands in the same period.

Common ownership advice for used Traverse buyers at this mileage range includes inspecting the transmission fluid condition, confirming the timing chain service history, and checking for any coolant leaks around the water pump — all routine items for a V6 SUV of this age. Overall, the 2018 Traverse has earned a solid reputation among families who need space, reliability, and everyday comfort without the premium price tag of a German or Japanese luxury alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse a good buy?

Yes — the 2018 Traverse is widely considered one of the best years for this model. The complete redesign brought a longer wheelbase, more cargo space, a more refined interior, and improved powertrains compared to the first-generation Traverse. For families needing three-row space, it competes well with the Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, and Ford Explorer at a significantly lower used price point.

How many miles is too many on a 2018 Chevrolet Traverse?

With proper maintenance, a 2018 Traverse with the 3.6-liter V6 can reliably reach 200,000 miles or more. At 95,822 miles, this example is roughly at the midpoint of a well-maintained life. The key is reviewing the maintenance history and having a trusted mechanic perform a pre-purchase inspection if you want extra confidence.

What does the Traverse Premier trim include?

The Premier is the highest trim level of the 2018 Traverse. It includes leather seating, heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, a Bose premium audio system, the 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, surround-view camera, blind-zone alert, automatic emergency braking, power liftgate, and dual-zone climate control — among many other features.

Is front-wheel drive okay on a Chevrolet Traverse?

For most buyers in Southern California, yes — FWD is perfectly adequate. The Traverse FWD handles everyday highway and surface street driving with ease. AWD is more relevant for buyers in snowy or off-road conditions, which are rarely a concern in the San Bernardino Valley. FWD models also tend to be lighter and slightly more fuel-efficient than AWD equivalents.

What is the fuel economy on a 2018 Traverse V6 FWD?

The 2018 Chevrolet Traverse with the 3.6-liter V6 and FWD is EPA-rated at approximately 18 mpg city and 27 mpg highway, with a combined rating around 21 mpg. Real-world figures from owners tend to align closely with those estimates, particularly on highway driving common to the Inland Empire.
