Grand Island Chevrolet – How the 2026 Chevrolet Traverse Eases Family Road Trips around Ravenna, NE
Planning a family trip around Ravenna, NE usually means juggling passengers, luggage, snacks, and schedules. The Chevy team designed the 2026 Traverse with those real-world moments in mind, combining an easy-to-use cabin with advanced driver assistance to make long days feel shorter. With available seating for up to eight, a third-row 60/40 split bench, and best-in-class max cargo volume of 98 cu. ft., packing is easier and faster. The AutoSense Power Liftgate opens as you approach, so there is no need to dig for keys when your hands are full. Inside, the standard 17.7-inch diagonal color touch-screen pairs with an 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center for a modern, clean layout that puts information right where you want it. Layer in Google built-in for voice-friendly directions, music, and messages, and the Traverse keeps your focus on the road and the fun ahead.
Families also appreciate how available Super Cruise® can reduce fatigue during long stretches on compatible roads. Hands-free driver assistance helps with lane-centering and routine cruising, and it is included for three years on RS and High Country as part of a comprehensive digital services suite. When tight parking or campground maneuvering calls for extra help, available HD Surround Vision provides a high-resolution top-down view. And for those who love detours, the Z71 trim’s Advanced Twin-Clutch AWD System, Terrain Mode, Hill Descent Control, off-road suspension, and skid plate are there to turn a scenic byway into a light-adventure afternoon. At Grand Island Chevrolet GMC, we encourage families to explore the trim that fits their travel style, whether it is the refined LT, rugged Z71, bold RS, or premium High Country.
