The 2026 Traverse is a midsize 3-row SUV built around space, tech, and value. It leads the class with a 17.7-inch diagonal standard touchscreen — the largest in Chevy’s SUV lineup and bigger than anything the Ford Explorer, Honda Pilot, or Toyota Grand Highlander offer standard. It seats up to 8 with captain’s-chair or bench second-row options, delivers a best-in-class 98 cu ft of max cargo, and tows up to 5,000 lbs. Super Cruise hands-free driving is available (standard on RS and High Country). Starting at $40,800, it undercuts the Grand Highlander and sits below most comparable Explorer and Palisade trims.

Chevy’s own comparison cites Ford Explorer, Hyundai Palisade, and Toyota Grand Highlander as the primary cross-shops. Traverse leads on standard screen size (17.7" vs Explorer/Pilot’s 8" and Grand Highlander’s 8"), leads the class on max cargo at 98 cu ft, and starts below most competitors. Ford Explorer offers a hybrid variant Chevy doesn’t match, and Grand Highlander offers a hybrid option. For space, tech, and price, Traverse makes the stronger case.

The current-generation Traverse is powered by a proven 2.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder with more power and better efficiency than the outgoing V6 it replaced. Every new Traverse comes with a 3-year / 36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 5-year / 60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Our service center is staffed with ASE-certified Chevrolet technicians with full diagnostic equipment on site.

Leasing makes sense if you want a new Traverse every 2-3 years, drive under 12,000-15,000 miles per year, and want to stay under warranty the whole term. Buying (or financing to own) is better if you drive more, plan to keep the SUV 5+ years, or want to build equity. Our finance team will run side-by-side numbers on both paths for your situation — no pressure.

Costco members currently get $1,250 (Executive Member) or $1,000 (standard Member) toward the purchase or lease of a 2026 Traverse. Additional programs are often available for military, first responders, educators, healthcare workers, college grads, and current GM lessees. Call us at 508-417-8675 for the current program stack for your specific trim.

The LT at $40,800 is the value pick — 17.7" touchscreen, 11" digital cluster, Smart Slide Seats, AutoSense Power Liftgate, and 7 or 8-passenger seating all standard. Step up to Z71 at $48,900 if you want real capability: Twin-Clutch AWD, Terrain Mode, Hill Descent Control, off-road suspension with skid plate, and 18-inch all-terrain wheels. High Country at $55,100 and RS at $55,400 both add Super Cruise and 22-inch wheels. The sweet spot depends on whether you prioritize capability (Z71), comfort (High Country), or sport styling (RS).

Yes. Chevy’s 2.5L turbo 4-cylinder delivers 328 HP and 326 lb-ft of torque — more power than the outgoing V6 Traverse used — paired with a standard 8-speed automatic. EPA-estimated fuel economy on FWD is 20 city / 26 highway MPG. Properly equipped, Traverse tows up to 5,000 lbs, handles 8 passengers, and moves a fully loaded Cape family with ease.

FWD is standard across the lineup with AWD available on every trim. Z71 steps up to the Advanced Twin-Clutch AWD System with Terrain Mode and Hill Descent Control, paired with an off-road suspension and skid plate for real off-pavement capability. Good pick for Cape Cod winter mornings or a long dirt-road driveway.

EPA-estimated 20 city / 26 highway MPG on FWD models. AWD is slightly lower. The Traverse runs on regular 87-octane unleaded gasoline — no premium required. Actual mileage varies with load, terrain, and driving style; the window sticker on the specific Traverse you are considering has the exact EPA numbers for that trim and drivetrain.

Up to 5,000 lbs with the included trailering equipment. That handles a small boat, a pop-up camper, two jet skis, a utility trailer, or a compact travel trailer. For heavier pulling (travel trailers, larger boats, horse trailers), step up to our Tahoe (up to 8,400 lbs) or Suburban, or a Silverado pickup.

We opened in 2016 with a simple idea: be a dealer for the people. No hidden fees, no pressure tactics, a team that actually listens. We’re right on the Cape in Bourne at 420 MacArthur Blvd — no fighting traffic on Route 128 or I-93 to buy an SUV. Hours: Mon-Thu 9-7, Fri 9-6, Sat 9-4. ASE-certified techs with full Chevrolet diagnostic equipment on site.

Over 20 standard safety and driver-assistance features, including Chevy Safety Assist: Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian and Bicycle Braking, Blind Zone Steering Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, Forward Collision Alert, IntelliBeam auto high beams, and a Safety Alert Seat. HD Surround Vision is available on higher trims.

Standard on every trim: a 17.7-inch diagonal color touchscreen (the largest standard display in Chevy’s SUV lineup), an 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Google built-in with Google Assistant, Google Maps, and Google Play. Available: OnStar services, HD Surround Vision, and Super Cruise (standard on RS and High Country) — hands-free driving on more than 585,000 miles of compatible U.S. and Canada roads, including 3 years of Super Cruise plus Digital Services by OnStar.

The 2026 Traverse continues with the LT / Z71 / High Country / RS lineup and the 2.5L turbo engine with the 8-speed automatic. Special editions on the LT trim include the Midnight Edition (Mosaic Black Metallic with blackout trim) and the Sport Edition (Polar White Tricoat, Summit White, Radiant Red Tintcoat, Lakeshore Blue Metallic, Stardust Metallic, or Sterling Gray Metallic). Ask our team for the latest trim-level detail sheet.

Yes. We keep a healthy Traverse inventory in stock across LT, Z71, High Country, and RS. If we don’t have the exact trim, color, and options combination you want, we can locate one from another dealer or place a factory order. Factory orders typically take 8-12 weeks; current incentives can usually be locked in at order date.

No. The 2.5L Turbo is designed to run on regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87. Premium is not required. Chevrolet recommends Top Tier detergent gasoline for engine cleanliness, but 87 octane is all the Traverse needs.

7 standard (second-row captain’s chairs or bench) or up to 8 available with a second-row bench. Third row is a 60/40 split bench. On RS and High Country, the second-row seats are One-Touch Fold and the second and third rows are power-folding for one-handed cargo access. Family-friendly for school pickups, weekend trips, and everything in between.

Up to 98 cubic feet of max cargo volume with the second and third rows folded — best-in-class per Chevy. That fits a week’s worth of Cape Cod luggage for 5, a Home Depot run plus two kids’ bikes, or camp gear for a family of 6. The AutoSense Power Liftgate opens hands-free when it sees you with groceries or a bike wheel in each hand.

Yes — Super Cruise is standard on RS and High Country trims and available as an option on other trims through the Enhanced Driving Package. Super Cruise is Chevy’s hands-free driver-assistance technology that works on more than 585,000 miles of compatible U.S. and Canada roads. Including 3 years of Super Cruise service plus Digital Services by OnStar at no extra cost when you order it.

The 2026 Chevy Traverse is assembled at GM’s Lansing Delta Township Assembly plant in Michigan — the same plant that has built every Traverse since 2017. Buying a Traverse supports American manufacturing jobs.

The Traverse is a midsize 3-row SUV — longer and wider than a Tahoe-less would be. Specific length, width, and height are on the window sticker of the Traverse you are considering (dimensions vary slightly by trim, especially RS and High Country with their 22-inch wheels). Stop in and measure against your garage door, or we will read the specs off the window sticker for you when you are here.

Yes. Our finance team will run you through GM Financial and a network of banks to get you pre-approved in 10-15 minutes. Call 508-417-8675 or start online. Pre-approval locks in your rate, tells you the ceiling on what you can spend, and speeds up the paperwork when you come pick up your new Traverse.
