Chevrolet Traverse Performance & Specs

Power meets efficiency in the new Traverse. Under the hood sits a turbocharged 2.5L engine that delivers an impressive 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque. This engine gives you the muscle you need for highway merging and passing slower traffic with confidence.

Your Traverse comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission that shifts smoothly through gears. Every model now includes all-wheel drive as standard equipment. Need to bring the boat to the lake? The standard towing capacity reaches 5,000 pounds with the included towing equipment.

Fuel economy also matters when you're driving the family around town. The front-wheel drive models achieve 20 MPG in the city and 26 MPG on the highway.

Traverse Interior

We mentioned eight seats in the introduction, but there's a distinction to make. Some configurations come with seven seats for families who prefer extra space between passengers. The second row offers flexible seating options. You can choose between bench seats for maximum passenger capacity or captain's chairs for easier third-row access.

The third row features a 60/40 split bench design. One-Touch Fold second-row seats make loading cargo simple. With a best-in-class 98 cubic feet of cargo volume, the Traverse swallows up groceries, sports equipment, and luggage with room to spare.

Remote Start lets you warm up or cool down the cabin before you even step outside. Seating materials range from durable cloth to premium Evotex or leather surfaces. Available ventilation and heating in the front seats keep you comfortable year-round. Even your passengers in the back enjoy dedicated rear air conditioning to stay cool.

Traverse Exterior

Bold design is showcased alongside practical features outside the new Traverse. Your favorite colors are back, including Lakeshore Blue, Radiant Red Tintcoat, and Sandstone Gray.

The Midnight and Sport editions take style to another level. These models feature a Black grille with blackout components throughout. Black Traverse badging and Black Chevrolet bowties complete the aggressive look. You also get 20-inch high-gloss Black-painted aluminum wheels that turn heads at every stoplight.

Loading groceries becomes effortless with the hands-free AutoSense Power Liftgate. Ground clearance measures 6.7 inches, giving you confidence on rough roads and steep driveways.

Traverse Technology and Safety

The 2026 Chevrolet Traverse packs smart technology and advanced safety into every drive. Inside, an 11-inch Driver Information Center and a massive 17.7-inch touchscreen with Google built-in keep you informed and connected. Optional Bose audio, wireless phone charging, Wi-Fi hotspot, and HD Surround Vision add comfort and convenience, while OnStar offers added peace of mind.

Safety comes standard with over 20 features, including Front Pedestrian and Bicycle Braking, Blind Zone Steering Assist, and eight airbags. Available Super Cruise allows hands-free highway driving on over 585,000 miles of roads, making long trips easier and safer.
