2026 Chevrolet Traverse

The Traverse lineup is designed with a distinct approach for each trim. The LT provides a well-rounded foundation, featuring a full digital interface, Smart Slide second-row seating, and flexible 7- or 8-passenger configurations. It focuses on usability, making space accessible and practical. The Z71 adds off-road capability with a twin-clutch AWD system, Terrain Mode, Hill Descent Control, off-road suspension tuning, skid plates, and all-terrain tires—ideal for exploring backroads near I-26, US-301, or rural areas around Orangeburg County. The RS trim brings a sportier look with blacked-out exterior accents, RS-specific detailing, and available 22-inch wheels for a bold street presence. The High Country trim represents the pinnacle of luxury, offering premium materials, unique interior detailing, power-folding seating, and Super Cruise® for hands-free highway driving.

Every 2026 Traverse is powered by a 2.5L Turbocharged engine producing 328 hp and 326 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. This setup delivers responsive acceleration and smooth power delivery, particularly when carrying passengers or cargo. Towing reaches up to 5,000 lbs when properly equipped, making it perfect for hauling boats, trailers, or recreational gear around Lake Marion or for weekend trips to Charleston or Columbia. Available AWD and the Z71’s enhanced system provide extra control on rural backroads and local highways, keeping every drive confident and comfortable.

The Traverse interior emphasizes space and flexibility, seating up to 8 passengers with generous legroom across all three rows. Cargo capacity reaches 98 cu. ft. with the rear rows folded, allowing for seamless adaptation between passenger and cargo needs. Smart Slide second-row seating improves access to the third row, and available one-touch folding seats simplify reconfiguration. The AutoSense Power Liftgate adds convenience for busy families. Material quality improves across trims, with higher trims offering refined finishes and premium seating, all while keeping usability at the forefront.

Technology is intuitive and purposeful. A 17.7-inch touchscreen anchors the dashboard, paired with an 11-inch Driver Information Center for clear, accessible information. Google built-in offers navigation, voice control, and apps, while Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ ensure seamless connectivity. Super Cruise® enhances hands-free driving on compatible highways like I-95, I-26, and US-178, reducing fatigue on longer trips around Orangeburg and neighboring areas.

The 2026 Traverse comes with more than 20 standard driver-assistance features, including Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking. Available advanced systems such as Blind Zone Steering Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, and Adaptive Cruise Control provide enhanced safety and awareness, whether navigating city streets in Orangeburg, the highways to Columbia, or rural county roads.
