The 2026 Chevrolet Traverse offers all-wheel drive flexibility. Base models include all-wheel drive options, and the Z71 trim elevates capability with an advanced twin-clutch AWD system.

The Z71 adds serious off-road features: an advanced off-road suspension, skid plates, tow hooks, Terrain Mode for different surfaces, and Hill Descent Control. These enhancements give you confidence tackling rugged terrain, adverse weather, and challenging conditions.

Whether you're navigating winter roads in Wisconsin or exploring off-the-beaten-path adventures, the Traverse adapts to your needs. Call (715) 833-0444 or visit Markquart Motors in Chippewa Falls to test-drive the Traverse and discuss trim levels and drive systems.
