The Chevrolet Traverse is a versatile and capable midsize crossover SUV that's popular with families in the Reese area and beyond. For the 2026 model year, Chevrolet has made some exciting updates to the Chevy Traverse in terms of performance, technology, and features. Let's take a look at how the 2026 Chevy Traverse compares to the 2025 model.
Performance Enhancements
2026 Chevy Traverse gets a boost in power. Chevrolet has optimized the 3.6-liter V6 engine to now produce 315 horsepower, an increase of 10 hp over the 2025 Chevy Traverse. This added muscle gives the Chevy Traverse even more confident acceleration when merging onto I-75 in Bridgeport or passing on M-15 outside Vassar.
The 2026 Chevy Traverse also benefits from retuned suspension and steering for a smoother, more controlled ride. Whether you're cruising through downtown Bay City or navigating country roads near Frankenmuth, the new Chevy Traverse delivers a stable, composed driving experience in various conditions.
Upgraded Technology
2026 Chevy Traverse offers next-generation technology to keep you connected, informed and entertained on the go. The updated infotainment system now features a larger 10.2-inch high-resolution touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Accessing your favorite apps, playlists, and contacts is more seamless than ever.
For 2026, the Chevy Traverse also gains more USB ports throughout the cabin, including USB-C ports, to keep all your family's devices charged up on longer trips away from Reese. An available rear-seat entertainment system with dual 12.6-inch displays provides a theater-like experience to keep passengers engaged.
Additional Features and Upgrades
The 2026 Chevy Traverse introduces some new creature comforts and amenities to elevate your driving experience compared to the 2025 model. Heated second-row captain's chairs are now available to keep passengers cozy during chilly Michigan mornings in Vassar.
Chevrolet has also expanded the range of driver-assist safety technologies in the 2026 Chevy Traverse. Lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert are now standard across all trims for added peace of mind navigating busy streets in Bridgeport and beyond.
