The 2026 Chevrolet Traverse raises the bar for midsize SUVs by building smart safety into every trim while offering advanced options for added peace of mind. At Wilkinson Chevrolet Buick GMC, we’re spotlighting some of the most innovative systems drivers can expect when choosing this SUV.

Chevy Safety Assist Suite

Chevy Safety Assist comes standard on every 2026 Chevrolet Traverse. This suite of six safety features includes:

  • Automatic Emergency Braking – Helps apply the brakes automatically to reduce or avoid collisions.
  • Front Pedestrian Braking – Detects people ahead and can apply the brakes to help prevent impact.
  • Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning – Alerts you if you drift from your lane and gently helps steer you back.
  • Following Distance Indicator – Displays the gap between you and the vehicle ahead to help you maintain a safe distance.

Blind Zone Steering Assist

Available on higher trims of the 2026 Chevrolet Traverse, Blind Zone Steering Assist takes side-collision prevention a step further. When the system detects a vehicle in your blind spot during a lane change, it provides a gentle steering correction to help guide you back. By actively intervening when needed, it reduces the risk of sideswipes in dense traffic or on busy highways.

Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking

Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, also available on select trims, adds another layer of protection at one of the most common accident points: intersections. Using sensors to monitor cross-traffic, the system can automatically apply hard braking if another vehicle enters your path dangerously. This quick intervention helps minimize the risk of T-bone collisions, especially in urban driving.
