The 2026 Traverse is powered by a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque. It delivers seamless acceleration and highway performance through an 8-speed automatic transmission.

It can tow up to 5,000 lbs when properly configured, making it suitable for campers, trailers, and outdoor equipment. For all-weather and light off-road capability, the Traverse offers available all-wheel drive and an available advanced twin-clutch AWD system. The Z71 trim adds an off-road suspension, skid plates, tow hooks, and Hill Descent Control for extra confidence in varied terrain.
