Family-Ready Tech for Weekend Trips around Liberty Lake, WA — Why the 2026 Chevrolet Traverse’s Hands-Free Features Stand Out

Lewiston Chevrolet – Family-Ready Tech for Weekend Trips around Liberty Lake, WA — Why the 2026 Chevrolet Traverse’s Hands-Free Features Stand Out

Weekend escapes demand flexibility—space for duffels and coolers, help when your hands are full, and tech that makes the drive feel shorter for everyone on board. That is where the 2026 Chevrolet Traverse shines. With a best-in-class 98 cu. ft. max cargo volume and available hands-free conveniences baked into its design, this three-row SUV proves that family-first engineering can be both practical and premium. If you are mapping a getaway to lakes and trails around the Palouse or plotting a long highway run to visit relatives, Traverse makes packing, loading, and cruising simpler at every step.

Let’s start with everyday ease. The AutoSense Power Liftgate recognizes your presence and opens automatically—hugely helpful when you are balancing a stroller or a stack of groceries. Flexible seating means you choose between second-row captain’s chairs or a bench, while RS and High Country add One-Touch Fold second-row seats and power-folding second- and third-row seating. The result is fast, intuitive reconfiguration that does not slow you down. Inside, the standard 17.7-inch diagonal color touch-screen pairs with an 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center, and Google built-in integrates Google Assistant, Google Maps, and Google Play to help you plan routes, manage messages, and keep the crew entertained. Available OnStar® services and an in-vehicle Wi-Fi Hotspot can keep everyone connected when you stray far from familiar roads.

• Hands-free convenience: AutoSense Power Liftgate opens when you need it, no key-fumbling required.
• Family-flexible seating: Choose captain’s chairs or a bench, plus available One-Touch Fold and power-folding rows.
• Big-screen clarity: Standard 17.7-inch diagonal display and 11-inch Driver Information Center simplify daily driving.
• Road-trip support: Available Super Cruise® helps reduce fatigue on compatible highways for calmer long-distance travel.

Many families ask if Super Cruise® is worth it for weekend trips. For long stretches of highway, the answer is a confident yes. Available on Traverse, Super Cruise® is designed to help you maintain lane position and manage speed on compatible roads while you keep your eyes on what matters most—traffic and the journey ahead. High Country and RS include an Enhanced Driving Package with Super Cruise® and a three-year Super Cruise plan with Digital Services by OnStar, so you get a truly integrated ownership experience from day one.

Within the trim lineup, it is easy to tailor the Traverse to your lifestyle. The Z71 backs up its rugged look with an off-road suspension, skid plate, and a Twin-Clutch AWD system that shines on dirt, snow, and gravel. RS leans into a sporty character with blackout cues and confident stance, while High Country brings premium décor and 22-inch high-gloss Black machined-faced aluminum wheels that underscore its upscale appeal. No matter the trim, the standard turbocharged 2.5L engine and 8-speed automatic transmission deliver satisfying passing power and smooth daily drivability.
