2026 Chevrolet Traverse

The midsized, three-row Chevrolet Traverse is redesigned for the 2024 model year, adopting a more of a traditional SUV appearance, rather than a minivan look as was the case with the previous generation. The sole engine is a 328-hp turbocharged four-cylinder, teamed with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The SUV can be had in front- and all-wheel-drive configurations. A new, off-road-focused Z71 trim brings increased ground clearance, all-terrain tires on 18-inch wheels, and unique suspension and AWD system tuning. The cabin has a rather minimalist design with a large instrument panel display and massive 17.7-inch infotainment screen. Seating can be configured for seven or eight passengers. Maximum tow capacity is 5,000 pounds. The Traverse comes standard with AEB pedestrian and bicyclist detection, BSW, and RCTW. The Super Cruise active driving assistance system is available.

Brand context

About Chevrolet

Chevrolet sells a wide range of sedans, coupes, compact SUVs, large SUVs, EVs, and pickup trucks. Most models have roomy interiors and come with standard safety and convenience technology. Several models, however, have poor visibility and lack steering agility. Many Chevrolets rank average or below average for reliability in CR’s rankings. The brand stands out for selling historically significant and category-defining vehicles. The Suburban and Tahoe can keep three rows of passengers comfortable within their enormous cabins. The Silverado pickup truck competes with the best-selling Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 by balancing interior comfort with towing and cargo capability. In the past and today, the Camaro and Corvette are performance car bargains. The rear/mid-engined “C8” Corvette can be as thrilling as much more expensive European supercars. With some exceptions, used Chevrolets can have reliability issues, but are often less expensive to maintain and repair than competitors.
