Hi. I currently have 3400 miles on my 2024 LT with AWD and the sport package. I never reset my first trip odometer and have a lifetime average of 25.8 mpg. I have done several long trips, which may have skewed it a bit higher. I consistently see 28-29 mpg on the highway and low 20s around town. I also got 33.1 on a 100 miles trip on back highways doing 61 mph. My worst mpg on a highway trip was doing 76-77 mph into a headwind, and I still got 24.8. I have owned a 2018 Lt and a 2019 premier with awd and saw similar highway mpg, but around town, the V6 was about 3 mpg less. The new 2.5 liter has a less aggressive throttle tip-in, so it feels a little slower off the line, but it has never felt underpowered, and actually seems to be quicker when passing. I did an informal 0-60 with a stopwatch in AWD to limit wheelspin and clocked it at 6.78 seconds. We also did a trip to Chicago with 6 adults and didn't feel the weight at all and still saw over 28 mpg. The engine does have a raspy growl when you get on it, but it doesn't bother me. My brother has a V6 Telluride and a 2.0 liter Atlas, and the new Traverse is nicer overall. I have no problems recommending it, but I must say that I do have the dreaded defective 3rd row headrests on order. They told me it will be early September before the parts come.
