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 trim most families pick for its blend of standard features and value, skipping the Z71's off-road gear for a more road-focused setup. Its turbocharged 2.5L Turbo DOHC SIDI makes 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive that feels responsive and smooth around town. The LT includes a factory trailering package with a 5,000-pound max tow rating, so it can pull a small boat or camper without any add-ons.
