Design
The Traverse name was originally used for concept cars at the 2003 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, but the concept gave way when the Chevrolet Equinox was launched for the 2005 model year. The Traverse production design is inspired by the 2005 Chevrolet Sequel concept, and has a chevron-shaped grille similar to the Chevrolet Malibu 2008. The Traverse has unique metal sheets that are different from other Lambda crossovers, with the exception of doors.
