The Traverse offers space galore but lacks finesse in the details.

Adult-friendly third row · Turbocharged engine power
Noisy under acceleration · Hard interior plastics

The 2026 Chevrolet Traverse is all about space—passenger space, cargo space, you name it. This SUV is like a mini moving van, but with a bold front design that screams 'mini Tahoe.' What surprised us was the surprisingly potent 2.5L Turbo 4-Cyl engine, which gives you 328 horses to play with, even if it grumbles a bit too much while doing so. Unfortunately, the interior is a bit of a letdown, with hard plastics and seats that could use a comfort upgrade. If you're hauling a bunch of adults or kids and need room to breathe, the Traverse fits the bill. Just don't expect it to dazzle you with interior luxury or sporty handling.

Our pick: Z71 AWD ($50,795)
vs. 2026 Toyota Highlander: The Highlander edges out the Traverse with better interior quality and resale value.
