The 2026 Chevrolet Traverse arrives with a confident blend of design, space, and advanced technology that fits seamlessly into modern family life. With three rows of seating, a refined interior, and trims like LT, Z71, RS, and High Country designed around different lifestyles, this midsize SUV delivers flexibility without compromise. From daily drives around Fort Smith, Arkansas, to longer trips with family and gear in tow, the Traverse is built to keep up.
Spacious Comfort with Real Flexibility
Interior space is one of the Traverse’s strongest advantages. Seating for up to 8 passengers pairs with a best-in-class maximum cargo volume of 98 cu. ft., giving families the room they need for people, gear, and everything in between. Second-row Smart Slide seating makes third-row access simple, while available second-row captain’s chairs add a more premium feel for passengers who spend a lot of time on the road.
Everyday convenience is elevated with features like the AutoSense Power Liftgate, which opens automatically when it detects your presence. Grocery runs, school pickup, and weekend packing all become easier thanks to thoughtful design that works around real routines.
Technology That Feels Effortless
The 2026 Chevrolet Traverse brings technology front and center without overwhelming the driving experience. A standard 17.7-inch diagonal touchscreen pairs with an 11-inch Driver Information Center, delivering clear access to navigation, audio, and vehicle settings. Google built-in functionality allows seamless use of Google Maps, Google Assistant, and supported apps directly from the display.
For drivers who spend long hours on the highway, available Super Cruise® hands-free driver assistance adds a new level of comfort. With access to over 585,000 miles of compatible roads across the U.S. and Canada, Super Cruise helps reduce fatigue during longer drives while keeping attention where it belongs.
Confident Performance with Everyday Capability
Powering the 2026 Traverse is a turbocharged 2.5L engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Output comes in at 328 hp and 326 lbs. ft. of torque, delivering smooth acceleration and confident passing power. With a towing capacity of up to 5,000 lbs., the Traverse is ready to handle small campers, boats, or recreational gear with ease.
Drivers looking for added capability will appreciate the Z71 trim, which includes Terrain Mode, Hill Descent Control, and an advanced twin-clutch AWD system. This setup adds traction and control when road conditions change, while still maintaining a comfortable ride for everyday use.
Advanced Safety Comes Standard
Safety plays a central role in the 2026 Chevrolet Traverse. More than 20 standard driver assistance and safety features work together to support driver awareness and confidence. Standard highlights include Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and Rear Cross Traffic Braking.
Available features like Adaptive Cruise Control and Side Bicyclist Alert add another layer of reassurance, especially during busy commutes or highway travel around Fort Smith.
