2025 Chevrolet Traverse crash-test ratings
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Ratings for the tested versions. More stars mean a lower chance of serious injury in that type of crash. Rollover risk is NHTSA's estimated chance of rolling over in a single-vehicle crash.
| Tested vehicle | Overall | Frontal | Side | Rollover | Rollover risk | Forward collision warning |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 Chevrolet Traverse SUV AWD | 5 stars | 5 stars | 5 stars | 4 stars | 18.5% | Standard & Optional |
| 2025 Chevrolet Traverse SUV FWD | 5 stars | 5 stars | 5 stars | 4 stars | 17.4% | Standard & Optional |
Source: NHTSA 5-Star Safety Ratings (New Car Assessment Program), checked Oct 26, 2026.
Star ratings compare vehicles of similar size and weight; a frontal rating for a large pickup is not directly comparable with one for a small car.
