Key Features of the 2026 Chevrolet Traverse
2.5L Turbo Engine and 8-Speed Transmission
Under the hood, the turbocharged 2.5L engine balances power and refinement with crisp torque delivery for merging, passing, and confident highway cruising. Paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission, it aims to keep you in the sweet spot of response while maintaining smooth, unhurried shifts around town. Towing up to 5,000 lbs is supported with included trailering equipment, which means weekend boats, small campers, or utility trailers are well within reach. The drivetrain is tuned to feel composed and predictable, so whether you’re navigating school pickup, a packed weekend schedule, or longer drives, the 2026 Chevrolet Traverse responds with the right kind of performance—assured, flexible, and ready for the day ahead.
Super Cruise® Hands-Free Driver Assistance
Available Super Cruise® brings a more relaxed and confidence-inspiring highway experience by enabling hands-free driving on compatible roads across the U.S. and Canada. Working with attentive driver monitoring, precision mapping, and integrated cameras and sensors, Super Cruise® helps maintain lane position and following distance in appropriate conditions. High Country and RS include the Enhanced Driving Package with Super Cruise®, aligning an elevated trim experience with elevated driving capability. For frequent Interstate drive time, this technology can reduce the strain of longer stretches and add a consistent layer of support, while your attention stays on the drive and traffic dynamics ahead.
17.7-inch Diagonal Color Touch-Screen and Google built-in
At the center of the cabin is a standard 17.7-inch diagonal color touch-screen that becomes the command hub for audio, navigation, and apps, with intuitive layouts that are easy to personalize. An 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center comes standard, keeping critical data and guidance right in your line of sight. Google built-in adds the familiarity of Google Assistant voice control, Google Maps for native navigation, and Google Play for in-vehicle apps—so setting a destination, queueing music, or checking calendar items feels seamless. Available OnStar® services enhance connectivity and peace of mind, while available HD Surround Vision can help with docking into tight parking spaces and navigating busy lots.
Advanced Twin-Clutch AWD System with Terrain Mode
The Z71 trim takes confidence off the pavement with an advanced Twin-Clutch AWD system, off-road suspension tuning, and protective hardware such as a skid plate. Terrain Mode and Hill Descent Control enhance control in low-traction situations and steep grade transitions, providing a reassuring feel on gravel, two-tracks, and winter-weather routes. Frequency-based suspension dampers further help the Traverse ride with composure even when the surface is less than ideal. Add all-terrain tires on distinctive 18-inch high-gloss Black machined-faced wheels, and the result is an SUV that excels at turning a family outing into a memorable exploration—without sacrificing day-to-day comfort.
AutoSense Power Liftgate and Flexible Seating
The AutoSense Power Liftgate is designed to recognize your presence and open hands-free, so loading is easier when your hands are full of sports bags or a week’s worth of groceries. Inside, flexible seating choices make the most of the generous cabin. Choose bench seating or captain’s chairs in the second row, then utilize Smart Slide Seats to simplify third-row access. RS and High Country add One-Touch Fold second-row seats, plus power-folding second- and third-row seating to quickly reconfigure the cabin. With best-in-class max cargo capacity of 98 cu. ft., the Traverse adapts effortlessly, accommodating bulky items, strollers, camping gear, and more without a puzzle to solve.
