Jennings Auto Group – Why Super Cruise and Smarter Space Make the 2026 Chevrolet Traverse a Standout for Springfield, IL Drivers
When a three-row SUV nails the balance of everyday ease and road-trip confidence, families notice. The 2026 Chevrolet Traverse brings two advantages that matter most in real life: a thoughtful, flexible interior and available Super Cruise® hands-free driver assistance for compatible roads. Those strengths add up to simpler school runs, less-stress highway travel, and a better experience for everyone in the cabin. If you’re mapping out carpools, work commutes, and weekend escapes around Springfield, IL, the Traverse has the tools to keep your plans on schedule.
Inside, the cabin centers on a standard 17.7-inch diagonal color touch-screen and a crisp 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center. Google built-in makes voice control and directions intuitive, and the available OnStar® services add connected confidence wherever you go. But the quiet MVPs are the space-saving details that turn chaos into order: second-row bench or captain’s chairs, a roomy third-row 60/40 split bench, and on RS and High Country, standard One-Touch Fold second-row seats with power-folding second- and third-row seating. Pair that with best-in-class 98 cu. ft. of max cargo volume and the AutoSense Power Liftgate, and you have a cabin that flexes to fit bulky sports gear, grocery runs, and cross-state luggage without a second thought.
On the highway, available Super Cruise® helps lighten the mental load by enabling hands-free driving on compatible roads. It works alongside an array of driver assistance features such as Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian and Bicycle Braking, Blind Zone Steering Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, and the Safety Alert Seat. Add available HD Surround Vision for crisp, low-speed maneuvering, and the result is a three-row SUV that reduces the everyday friction points of driving—merging, parking, and navigating new places.
If traction and weather are on your mind, the available Twin-Clutch AWD system and Terrain Mode help Traverse adapt to changing surfaces. Z71 adds off-road suspension tuning, a skid plate, Hill Descent Control, and all-terrain tires, elevating confidence when your weekend takes you beyond the pavement. Meanwhile, the turbocharged 2.5L engine and 8-speed automatic deliver brisk response for passing and merging, with the strength to tow up to 5,000 lbs. when equipped with the included trailering equipment.
