Does the Chevrolet Traverse qualify for the car loan interest deduction?
The 2025–2028 deduction turns on where a vehicle is finally assembled — not the badge. Here's where the 2025–2026 Chevrolet Traverse is built and what it means for your loan interest.

PASS — assembled in the USA
The Chevrolet Traverse qualifies on the assembly test. Assembly is one of four gates — you also need a new vehicle, personal use, a 2025–2028 loan, and income under the phase-out.
The short answer
Chevrolet builds the Traverse at its Lansing, Michigan plant, so this three-row SUV passes the OBBBA final-assembly test. A new Traverse bought for personal use with income under the phase-out can produce deductible loan interest. Assembly is one gate — the calculator handles the rest.
Where the Chevrolet Traverse is assembled
| Assembly plant | Location | Assembly test |
|---|---|---|
| Lansing Delta Township Assembly | Lansing, MI | ✓ United States |
Confirm the other three tests
A US-assembly PASS is only the first gate. Each remaining condition has its own guide:
New & personal-use — used cars and leases don't qualify→ Loan dated 2025–2028 — refinancing keeps eligibility→ Income under the phase-out — run the MAGI calculator→
Frequently asked questions
Where is the Chevrolet Traverse built?
US Traverses are assembled at GM's Lansing Delta Township plant in Michigan, a US final-assembly point that meets the assembly test.
Is the Traverse built in the same place as the Buick Enclave?
Yes, both come from Lansing Delta Township in Michigan, so both are US-assembled — but eligibility still depends on the loan, use, and income tests.
Does a used Traverse qualify?
No. Only new vehicles qualify. A used Traverse, even a Michigan-built one, is out because original use must begin with you.
