Power and Performance
Our Chevy dealership serving Hampton Roads offers a great selection of 2026 Chevrolet Traverse trims. There are four in all, each pairing an eight-speed automatic transmission with a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that outputs 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque. Gas mileage is similarly impressive, at a GM-estimated 20 mpg city / 27 mpg highway. Front-wheel drive (FWD) is standard, and a twin-clutch all-wheel drive (AWD) system is optional for all trims except the off-road-specialized 2026 Chevrolet Traverse Z71, which gets AWD standard.
Towing and Cargo
The towing and cargo capabilities of this new Chevy SUV confirm it as one of the best family SUVs on the market. Not only does the 2026 Chevrolet Traverse have a max towing capacity of 5,000 lbs, but it also boasts a best-in-class 98 cubic feet of maximum cargo volume. Plus, space isn’t the only thing this SUV’s interior has going for it. The second row can be outfitted with either bench seats or captain’s chairs, and the third row is a 60/40 split bench offering terrific flexibility. Moreover, the high-end 2026 Chevy Traverse RS and 2026 Chevy Traverse High Country trims upgrade to One-Touch Fold second-row seats and power-folding third-row seats.
Infotainment
A premium infotainment system is another reason to buy the 2026 Chevrolet Traverse. All trims feature a sleek, dash-spanning dual display consisting of an 11-inch driver information center and a 17.7-inch touchscreen. This display runs on Google built-in™, which puts apps such as Google Maps™ and Google Assistant™ at your fingertips. Wireless smartphone charging comes standard, too, and the touchscreen hosts a navigation system and wireless connectivity for Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®.
Safety
Advanced safety features are prominent on this three-row SUV. The Chevy Safety Assist® suite comes standard on all trims, integrating advanced driver assistance features such as Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Warning, and Lane-Keeping Assistance. Also, the Chevy brand’s proprietary Super Cruise™ hands-free driving technology comes standard on the two high-end trims and is optional for the entry-level 2026 Chevy Traverse LT and midrange 2026 Chevy Traverse Z71.
