The 2026 Traverse excels at space-a key reason families love it.

**Cargo:** With 98 cubic feet of cargo capacity, the Traverse is class-leading in the midsize SUV segment. That's plenty of room for luggage, sports equipment, groceries, or weekend gear. Smart Slide second-row seats fold easily to maximize cargo flexibility.

**Seating:** Standard seating accommodates 7 passengers; an 8-passenger option is available. The Smart Slide second-row seats slide forward and recline, making access to the third row comfortable and convenient-perfect for families.

**Versatility:** Whether you're loading up for a family road trip, hauling camping gear, or managing everyday family life, the Traverse's spacious, well-designed interior adapts to your needs. Premium comfort features and a luxurious cabin make longer drives enjoyable for everyone.
