Power That Makes Every Drive Easy
The new turbocharged 2.5 litre engine changes the feel of the Traverse in a good way. It gives you strong power with up to 328 horsepower and 326 pound feet of torque. It is smooth and relaxed on long drives and confident when you need to merge onto busy roads. The eight speed automatic transmission keeps things steady and predictable which is great for everyday commuting. The estimated fuel rating of 12.1 litres per 100 kilometres in the city and 9.9 on the highway helps you enjoy longer road trips without stopping too often. With a towing capacity of up to 2,268 kilograms the Traverse can easily pull a small boat or camping trailer which makes summer plans feel even more exciting for families.
Built To Carry What Matters Most
The best part about the Traverse is how much it can hold. It offers best in class cargo volume at 2,764 litres so you never worry about running out of room. It fits strollers, hockey bags, groceries and camping gear without making the cabin feel crowded. You can choose seating for seven or eight depending on your trim.

The AutoSense Power Liftgate feels like magic when your hands are full. It senses your presence and opens on its own which makes loading so much easier.
Smarter Tech That Always Stays In Sync
Inside the 2026 Traverse the technology feels like it belongs in the future. Every trim comes with a large 17.7 inch touch screen that looks so sharp and clean. It responds quickly and feels simple to use even when you are in a hurry. The 11 inch Driver Information Centre shows you everything you need at a glance so you always feel in control.
