Lou Bachrodt Chevrolet Pompano Beach – Is the 2026 Chevrolet Traverse a strong family road-trip SUV for Fort Lauderdale, FL drivers?
Family travel demands space, smart tech, and consistent comfort, and the latest Traverse checks all three boxes with room to spare. If you are planning weekend getaways or holiday trips that start near the beach and head north on I-95, this SUV’s blend of passenger-friendly design and road-trip technology makes a compelling case. The spacious cabin offers available seating for up to eight and a third-row 60/40 split bench that expands cargo space when you need it. Pair that with the AutoSense Power Liftgate, and loading luggage, coolers, or strollers becomes an easier part of your routine.
Technology also plays a major role in long-distance comfort. The standard 17.7-inch diagonal color touch-screen and 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center put navigation, media, and key driving data in clear view. With Google built-in, you can manage routes via Google Maps, use Google Assistant for voice commands, and access favorite apps through Google Play. Available Super Cruise® hands-free driver assistance is a standout for highway segments, providing a more relaxed drive on compatible roads. Add in Chevy Safety Assist and over 20 standard safety and driver assistance features, and you have the confidence families appreciate when the miles add up.
Under the hood, the turbocharged 2.5L engine and 8-speed automatic deliver responsive acceleration for quick merges and passing, even with a full cabin. Standard trailering equipment supporting up to 5,000 lbs. means you can bring along small recreational gear. And if you choose the Z71, the Advanced Twin-Clutch AWD System, Terrain Mode, and Hill Descent Control extend the adventure onto unimproved paths with a calm, controlled ride. That capability makes it easier to reach campsites or scenic trailheads once your journey leaves the pavement.
Inside, the Traverse adapts quickly to changing needs. Smart Slide Seats simplify third-row access, while RS and High Country add One-Touch Fold second-row seats and power-folding second- and third-row seating. Families can expand cargo room on the fly for a grocery run or restore seating for the carpool in seconds. Best-in-class max cargo volume of 98 cu. ft. helps you pack bulky items without playing trunk Tetris, and the low, squared-off load floor creates practical, usable space.
