Confident Power for Everyday Roads and Long Trips
Under the hood, the 2026 Chevrolet Traverse delivers the kind of performance families can rely on. Every model comes equipped with a turbocharged 2.5-liter engine that produces 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain gives the Traverse strong acceleration for merging and passing while maintaining smooth, predictable road manners.
The engine pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission, creating a driving experience that feels responsive without being overwhelming. For daily commuting, school runs, and weekend travel, this setup keeps driving easy and controlled.
Front-wheel drive comes standard, providing efficiency and confidence for most drivers. Available all-wheel drive adds extra traction for changing weather and uneven road conditions. The Chevrolet Traverse Z71 goes a step further with an enhanced twin-clutch AWD system that improves grip and control when the road gets rough.
Fuel efficiency remains competitive for a vehicle of this size, making the Chevy Traverse a practical option for families who log plenty of miles each year.
Towing and Hauling Made Simple
Drivers often ask how much the 2026 Chevrolet Traverse can really handle, and the answer is straightforward. When properly equipped with the available trailering package, the 2026 Chevy Traverse offers a maximum towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds across trims like Traverse LT, Chevrolet Traverse Z71, RS, and High Country. That capability makes it easy to tow a small camper, boat, or utility trailer without moving up to a full-size SUV.
Hauling strength matters inside the vehicle, too. Depending on the configuration, the Traverse can carry passengers, luggage, and gear all at once with confidence. This three-row SUV offers the flexibility families need for road trips, home projects, and active weekends.
This balance of towing, hauling, and interior space helps the 2026 Chevrolet Traverse stand out as a capable family vehicle that works just as hard as it plays.
