2026 Chevrolet Traverse LT

The 2026 Traverse is Chevrolet's three-row family SUV, slotting above the Equinox and below the Tahoe. It competes with the Honda Pilot, Toyota Grand Highlander, and Kia Telluride in the crowded midsize SUV segment. The turbo four gives the Traverse brisk acceleration and smooth power delivery, making it feel lighter than its size. The cabin is roomy across three rows, with generous cargo space behind the third row and easy access for passengers. The LT is the entry-level Traverse, giving you the same turbocharged engine and 5,000-pound tow rating as the pricier RS and High Country, but with cloth seats and 18-inch wheels. Its turbocharged 2.5L Turbo DOHC SIDI makes 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque, and with front-wheel drive and the eight-speed automatic it returns 22 mpg combined. The LT's standard Trailering Package is a rare find at this price point, letting you haul a small boat or camper without stepping up to a more expensive trim.
