Chevrolet gave the 2026 Traverse a 2.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. It makes 328 horsepower and 326 pound-feet of torque, which is plenty for merging onto the highway or getting up to speed quickly. The 8-speed automatic transmission shifts easily and keeps the engine running where it should. Most drivers will notice the difference right away when they press the gas pedal.
​You can pick front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) on most trims in Montana. FWD models get up to 26 mpg on the highway, while AWD versions reach 24 mpg on the highway. The Z71 trim only comes with AWD and has all-terrain tires plus front recovery hooks. This setup is good for gravel roads and winter conditions when the snow starts falling.
