Yes-the 2026 Chevrolet Traverse offers standard 7-passenger seating with an available 8-passenger configuration, so families have flexibility. The second-row Smart Slide seating makes it easy to access the third row.

Cargo capacity is excellent at up to 98 cubic feet, leading its class. Combined with a 5,000-lb towing capacity, the Traverse handles everything from weekend road trips to boats and campers.

Every seat includes thoughtful design: power driver seating with 4-way lumbar support, wireless charging, and premium audio options. Call Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 to learn more about seating configurations and test drive the space yourself.
