The 2026 Traverse tech story: a 17.7-inch Google built-in screen, wireless CarPlay, Super Cruise and Chevy Safety Assist, explained for South Jersey drivers.
17.7-inch touchscreen and 11-inch driver display. Super Cruise is standard on High Country and RS, and available with the Enhanced Driving Package on LT and Z71. Verify the equipment on the selected vehicle.
The Traverse technology decision has several layers: the standard displays and phone connection, the assistance equipment on the chosen trim, and optional packages.
At the center is a 17.7-inch diagonal touchscreen with Google built-in, giving you Google Maps, the Google Play store and Google Assistant without a phone plugged in. Ahead of the driver sits an 11-inch reconfigurable digital cluster. Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are standard from the LT up, along with a Wi-Fi hotspot, multiple USB ports and satellite radio. Six speakers are standard, and Bose premium audio is available on the upper trims. Wireless phone charging is available as well.
Super Cruise permits hands-free assistance on compatible mapped roads under the required conditions. High Country and RS include the system; LT and Z71 can receive it with the Enhanced Driving Package. Super Cruise on the Traverse works only on compatible roads, and the driver must remain attentive and ready to take over.
Chevy Safety Assist combines collision-warning, braking and lane-support functions with IntelliBeam high-beam control. The Traverse also includes automatic reverse braking. Chevy Safety Assist supports the Traverse driver, who must still watch traffic and surroundings.
Use the equipment list to separate the Driver Confidence Package from the Enhanced Driving Package. The former supplies the surround-view camera and related assistance equipment; the latter supplies Super Cruise and other upgrades. LT and Z71 offer these packages, while High Country and RS include the corresponding equipment.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 17.7-inch touchscreen | Standard | Standard | Standard | Standard |
| Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto | Standard | Standard | Standard | Standard |
| Super Cruise | Available | Available | Standard | Standard |
| Surround-view camera | Available | Available | Standard | Standard |

IIHS designates the 2026 Traverse a Top Safety Pick. Its small-overlap, updated-side and headlight results are Good, while updated moderate overlap is Acceptable. Vehicle-to-vehicle front crash prevention is Good and pedestrian prevention Acceptable; seat-belt reminders are Marginal and LATCH ease of use Good. Read those individual results alongside the award and consult NHTSA separately rather than treat two testing programs as interchangeable.
