2026 Chevrolet Traverse

The 2026 Traverse is powered by a turbocharged 2.5-liter engine producing 328 horsepower and 326 pound-feet of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. That's improved performance and greater efficiency compared to the previous generation V6. Standard towing capacity reaches 5,000 pounds with included trailering equipment, making it a capable partner for weekend getaways and hauling needs. All-wheel drive is available across select trims for drivers who want added traction in varied conditions.

Inside the Traverse, there's room for everyone and everything. The SUV offers available seating for up to eight passengers on the LT trim with a second-row bench seat, while the Z71, RS, and High Country seat seven with standard second-row captain's chairs. The Smart Slide Seats make third-row access effortless, and the AutoSense Power Liftgate opens hands-free. With best-in-class maximum cargo volume of 98 cubic feet when second- and third-row seats are folded flat, packing for any trip is never a challenge.

The 2026 Traverse puts a remarkable amount of technology right at your fingertips. A standard 17.7-inch diagonal touchscreen display anchors the interior and can be personalized to your preferences. A standard 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center rounds out the driver-focused cockpit. Google built-in compatibility brings Google Assistant, Google Maps, and Google Play seamlessly into the cabin. Available Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology works on more than 585,000 miles of compatible roads in the U.S. and Canada. An available in-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot keeps passengers connected on every drive.

Chevy Safety Assist comes standard on the 2026 Traverse, delivering a suite of over 20 standard safety and driver assistance features. Key standard features include Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian and Bicycle Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, IntelliBeam, and Following Distance Indicator. Additional available features include Blind Zone Steering Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, and HD Surround Vision. Teen Driver and Buckle to Drive technology add extra layers of peace of mind for families.

The 2026 Chevrolet Traverse comes in four distinct trim levels, each designed to meet a different set of priorities. The LT serves as the refined, family-focused starting point with a turbocharged engine, 17.7-inch touchscreen, and available 8-passenger seating. The Z71 builds on that foundation with an Advanced Twin-Clutch AWD system, Terrain Mode, Hill Descent Control, off-road suspension, and a skid plate for those who crave adventure. The High Country elevates comfort and style with One-Touch Fold second-row seats, power-folding second- and third-row seating, 22-inch wheels, and a 3-year Super Cruise plan. The RS adds sporty flair with blackout exterior features, a flat-bottom steering wheel, Red interior decor, and its own 3-year Super Cruise plan.
