Inside, the Traverse is designed around real-world usability. The third-row 60/40 split bench and flexible second-row seating make it easy to adjust for people, pets, and gear—especially helpful when shuttling kids to activities across Greater Columbus. The AutoSense Power Liftgate recognizes your presence and opens without the usual balancing act with keys or sensors, while the wide, flat cargo floor maximizes utility. The dashboard pairs the standard 17.7-inch touch-screen with an 11-inch Driver Information Center to keep maps, media, and vehicle data where you want them. With Google built-in, you can use Google Assistant for voice commands, bring Google Maps navigation into the center display, and download select in-vehicle apps from Google Play; and with available OnStar services, you can add another layer of connectivity and confidence to your daily drive.

2026 Chevrolet Traverse Trim Levels

Many midsize SUVs promise space and technology, but the 2026 Traverse delivers a rare combination: best-in-class max cargo room, a standard oversized infotainment display, and available hands-free driving. Some rivals require stepping up multiple trims to get larger screens or advanced driver assistance, while the Traverse equips a 17.7-inch touch-screen as standard. Likewise, while several competitors offer respectable towing as optional, the Traverse builds in a standard 5,000-pound rating with included trailering equipment to keep weekend plans straightforward. If you need confident traction, the Z71’s Advanced Twin-Clutch AWD System and Terrain Mode help distribute power where it is needed, especially helpful on gravel drives to trailheads or uneven surfaces around Central Ohio parks. For Columbus shoppers comparing features line-by-line, the Traverse makes it easy to check the boxes that matter most: flexible three-row seating, simple towing, a big screen you use every day, and available Super Cruise for long highway stretches.
