The 2026 Chevrolet Traverse arrives with a bold new look, advanced technology, and outstanding versatility — making it a top choice for families and adventurers alike. Whether you’re traveling the backroads of Charlevoix, MI, or navigating daily commutes, the redesigned Traverse offers capability, comfort, and confidence in every mile.
A Refined Design for Every Occasion
The 2026 Traverse features a rugged yet sophisticated exterior with a strong SUV stance and a lineup of trims suited to different lifestyles. The RS trim delivers a sporty appearance with glossy black exterior accents and larger wheel options, while the High Country elevates luxury with upscale materials and refined details. For those prioritizing rugged capability, the Z71 trim adds off-road enhancements like unique suspension tuning and additional underbody protection.
Inside, the Traverse continues to lead in space and versatility. With seating for up to eight passengers and best-in-class cargo volume of up to 98 cubic feet behind the first row, it’s designed for growing families and active lifestyles. Fold-flat second and third-row seating and wide rear door openings make loading passengers and gear effortless.
Advanced Technology to Keep You Connected
Tech-forward design is at the heart of the 2026 Traverse cabin. Every model comes standard with a massive 17.7-inch diagonal infotainment touchscreen — one of the largest screens in its class — paired with an 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center. Google Built-In compatibility is included, enabling access to Google Maps, Google Assistant, and the Play Store without needing a phone connection.
Higher trims like RS and High Country also offer Super Cruise®, GM’s hands-free driver assistance system compatible with hundreds of thousands of miles of roads across the U.S. and Canada, giving a more relaxed and modern driving experience.
Built for Exploration and Performance
The 2026 Traverse is powered by a Turbocharged 2.5L 4-cylinder engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. This setup produces 328 horsepower and 326 lbs.-ft. of torque, delivering confident acceleration and smooth towing capability.
For outdoor enthusiasts, the Z71 trim stands out with off-road-focused upgrades including:
- Twin-clutch AWD system
- Off-road suspension tuning
- All-terrain tires
- Hill Descent Control
- Unique drive modes tailored for rugged surfaces
This makes the Traverse just as comfortable heading into Michigan’s forest trails as it is cruising along Lake Michigan’s shoreline.
Safety First with Chevy Safety Assist
Chevy Safety Assist is standard across the Traverse lineup, providing peace of mind on every drive. This comprehensive suite includes:
- Forward Collision Alert
- Automatic Emergency Braking
- Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
