The 2026 Chevrolet Traverse at Pete Moore Chevrolet in Pensacola, FL, is a three-row midsize SUV designed for drivers who need space, capability, and modern technology in one package. It stands out against competitors like the Honda Pilot and Kia Telluride with its bold styling, turbocharged performance, and best-in-class cargo capacity.
The lineup includes four trims: LT, Z71, High Country, and RS. Each brings a distinct personality, from family-focused practicality to off-road capability and premium comfort. No matter the trim, every Traverse uses a gas-powered turbo engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The four trims give shoppers clear choices depending on priorities.
LT focuses on everyday usability with strong core features and available eight-passenger seating. Z71 adds off-road hardware and standard all-wheel drive for more adventurous drivers. High Country emphasizes comfort with premium materials and advanced tech, while RS delivers a sportier look with black exterior accents and performance-inspired styling.

Cargo versatility is a strong point. With up to 97.60 cubic feet of maximum cargo space, the Traverse easily handles luggage, sports gear, or home improvement runs. The split-folding rear seats and available power-folding function on upper trims make reconfiguring the cabin simple.
