2026 Chevrolet Traverse For Sale

The 2026 Chevrolet Traverse starts at $40,800, seats seven or eight, and opens to 98 cubic feet of cargo with both rear rows folded. It is the three-row family Chevrolet that fits the way South Jersey actually drives, from a school run in Mount Laurel to a Route 38 errand loop to a summer haul down to the Shore. This page walks the single turbocharged engine, the four trims, the technology and the space, then points you to the deeper research pages and the SUVs in stock at Lucas Chevrolet.

One thing to get right up front: the 2026 Traverse uses a turbocharged four-cylinder, not a V6. Chevrolet retired the old six for a 2.5-liter turbo that makes more torque and better mileage, and it is the only engine in the lineup. What you choose between trims is drivetrain, equipment and style, so the sections below focus on those decisions rather than an engine menu.

2026 Traverse Engines and Powertrain

Every 2026 Traverse runs the same 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder: 328 horsepower, 326 lb-ft of torque, and an 8-speed automatic. Front-wheel drive is standard, all-wheel drive is available for about $2,000 more on the LT, High Country and RS, and on the Z71 all-wheel drive is standard. On regular 87-octane fuel the front-drive Traverse is EPA-rated 20 mpg city, 26 highway and 22 combined; all-wheel drive comes in at 20 city, 24 highway and 21 combined (fueleconomy.gov). With a 19.4-gallon tank on front-drive models, that highway number is good for well over 400 miles between fills, which covers a Shore weekend without a stop.

The turbo four is the efficiency story here. It gives up the smoothness of a big six on paper, but in daily South Jersey driving, the flat, stop-and-go mix of I-295 and the Route 38 corridor, the torque arrives early and the mileage holds up better than a V6 would. Properly equipped, every trim can tow up to 5,000 pounds, because the trailering package with its heavy-duty cooling and factory hitch is standard across the line.

Traverse Trim Lineup and Pricing

Four trims span the range. Prices below are base MSRP and exclude the destination freight charge, tax, title, license, dealer fees, and optional equipment. The value opens at the LT, the Z71 is the off-road-flavored trim with standard all-wheel drive, and the High Country and RS sit side by side at the top as the comfort flagship and the sport flagship.

The RS lists just above the High Country and sits at the top of the lineup, so treat the two as a style choice rather than a step down. The jump most Marlton and Cherry Hill shoppers actually feel is LT to Z71, because that is where all-wheel drive becomes standard and the price climbs about eight thousand dollars.

Technology and Connectivity

Every 2026 Traverse carries a 17.7-inch diagonal touchscreen with Google built-in, an 11-inch reconfigurable driver display, plus wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto, standard from the LT up with no screen tax between trims. Available Super Cruise adds hands-free driver assistance on compatible divided highways, the kind of I-295 miles South Jersey commuters rack up daily. Super Cruise is standard on the High Country and RS and available on the LT and Z71 through the Enhanced Driving Package.

Interior, Cargo and Passenger Space

Order the LT with the no-cost second-row bench and the Traverse seats eight; every other trim uses second-row captain's chairs and seats seven. Behind the third row sits 22.9 cubic feet of cargo, 56.6 cubic feet opens up behind the second row, and folding both rear rows clears a class-leading 98 cubic feet, room for a Moorestown Mall furniture run or a trunk full of beach gear. Reviewers note that adults genuinely fit in the third row, which is unusual in this class. The Traverse measures 204.5 inches long and rides on a 121-inch wheelbase.

Safety and Driver Assistance

Every trim includes Chevy Safety Assist as standard, a package that pairs automatic emergency braking with forward collision alert, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, front pedestrian braking, a following distance indicator and IntelliBeam auto high beams. Standard automatic reverse braking is a notable add at the base level. Every 2026 Traverse is backed by a 3-year / 36,000-mile limited warranty with 5 years / 60,000 miles of powertrain coverage.
