2026 Chevrolet Traverse | Specs, Features & Test Drive | Webb Chevy Oak Lawn
The 2026 Chevrolet Traverse is the 3-row SUV built for real life in Cook County — up to 8 seats, class-competitive cargo space, and standard safety tech on every trim.

Quick Answer
The 2026 Chevrolet Traverse provides 3-row seating for up to 8 passengers with a standard 228 hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder on LS and LT trims and an available 310 hp 2.0-liter turbocharged engine on RS, Activ, and High Country. AWD is available across the full trim lineup. Webb Chevy Oak Lawn has the complete 2026 Traverse lineup in stock — call (708) 423-9440.
Engine and Performance
A 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder produces 175 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard; all-wheel drive handles Illinois winters without issue. Properly equipped, the Traverse tows up to 3,500 lbs. Fuel economy runs approximately 22 mpg city and 29 mpg highway in FWD trim.
Interior, Seating, and Cargo
Seven or eight passengers fit comfortably depending on second-row configuration. Third-row legroom is genuine — adults ride back there without complaints on long drives. Cargo: 23 cu ft behind row 3, 57.8 cu ft with row 3 folded, 98.2 cu ft maximum with both rear rows flat. The available power liftgate makes loading hands-free.
Technology Features
Standard 8-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto. Available upgrade to 11.3-inch diagonal display on upper trims. Google built-in, a 15-inch head-up display, a 12.3-inch digital driver cluster, and Bose audio are available. Built-in Wi-Fi hotspot keeps everyone connected.
Safety Technology
Chevy Safety Assist is standard on every trim: Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking with Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, and Automatic High Beam. Upper trims add Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Blind Zone Steering Assist, and a 360-degree Surround Vision Camera.
