If you are in the market for a larger SUV and want to make sure you have the safest vehicle to carry your family, knowing about the 2026 Chevrolet Traverse safety and technology highlights can help you decide. The three-row Traverse comes packed with features designed to keep everyone comfortable, connected, and protected.
A Commanding Infotainment Experience
The moment you settle into the driver’s seat of the 2026 Traverse, the 17.7-in touchscreen display demands your attention — in the best way possible. It’s one of the largest screens available in the midsize SUV class, and it can be personalized to match your preferences and driving habits.
Alongside that display, a standard 11-in Driver Information Center keeps essential vehicle data right in your line of sight.
Google built-in compatibility brings the power of Google Assistant, Google Maps, and Google Play directly into the cabin. That means voice commands, turn-by-turn navigation, and app access are all available without ever picking up your phone.
Available Super Cruise® Hands-Free Driver Assistance
The available Super Cruise® driver assistance tech is another standout feature of the 2026 Traverse. This hands-free driver assistance technology works on more than 585,000 miles of compatible roads across the U.S. and Canada.
Super Cruise® is included as part of the Enhanced Driving Package, which comes standard on both the High Country and RS trims. With an active plan, you also gain access to Digital Services by OnStar, which includes an in-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot, in-vehicle apps, and Safety Services.
Chevy Safety Assist and Over 20 Standard Safety Features
When your family is with you on the road, safety is incredibly important, and the 2026 Traverse has you covered. It comes equipped with Chevy Safety Assist as a standard bundle, which includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, IntelliBeam, and Following Distance Indicator.
The 2026 Traverse also includes features like Rear Park Assist, an HD Rear Vision Camera, Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, Reverse Automatic Braking, and Rear Cross Traffic Braking. Teen Driver technology is standard as well, giving parents additional peace of mind when younger drivers are behind the wheel.
Additional available features include HD Surround Vision, Adaptive Cruise Control, Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, and Side Bicyclist Alert.
Interior Space and Capability
The Traverse offers available seating for up to 8 passengers, and its best-in-class maximum cargo volume of 98 cu ft gives families plenty of room.
The AutoSense Power Liftgate opens hands-free, recognizing your key fob so you don’t have to fumble for your keys when your hands are full. The RS and High Country trims add One-Touch Fold second-row seats and power-folding second- and third-row seating for even more flexibility.
Under the hood, a turbocharged 2.5-L engine delivers 328 hp and 326 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Standard towing capacity with the included trailering equipment reaches 5,000 lbs — enough for a small boat, trailer, or camper.
Trim Options That Tailor the Experience
The 2026 Traverse is offered in four distinct trims: LT, Z71, High Country, and RS. Each one brings a different personality to the Traverse lineup while sharing the same core safety and technology foundation.
The LT is the entry point, offering the 17.7-in diagonal touchscreen, Smart Slide Seats, and the AutoSense Power Liftgate as standard equipment. The Z71 adds off-road credibility with Terrain Mode, Hill Descent Control, an Advanced Twin-Clutch AWD System, and an off-road suspension with a skid plate.
High Country leans into premium comfort with 22-in wheels, power-folding second- and third-row seating, and a standard Super Cruise® plan through OnStar. The RS takes a sportier direction with a flat-bottom steering wheel, blackout exterior styling, and the same Super Cruise® plan.
