Overview
Looking to compare two leading options in the three-row SUV category? The 2026 Chevrolet Traverse and the 2026 Toyota Highlander both deliver versatility and practicality for families.

Exterior Design
The 2026 Chevrolet Traverse boasts a bold, modern exterior designed to turn heads. With distinctive LED lighting, a large front grille, and enhanced sculpting, the Traverse ensures your family rides in style. The 2026 Toyota Highlander, while practical, doesn't have the daring look of the Traverse. You can also find unique design elements for the Traverse with its Midnight and Sport Special Editions.
Capability
When it comes to performance, the 2026 Chevrolet Traverse shines. Equipped with a robust 2.5L turbo engine, it delivers powerful acceleration and smooth cruising on highways or hilly terrains near La Mesa. The Traverse has 328 hp and 326 lb-ft of torque standard! If you're looking for off-road capability, the Traverse shines as well. The Traverse Z71 trim level has key off-road features like Terrain Mode, Hill Descent Control, and Twin-Clutch AWD.
Conversely, the 2026 Toyota Highlander lacks the standard strength of the Traverse. The 2.4-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged engine offers 265 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque.
Interior Comfort and Space
For families or groups, the Chevrolet Traverse offers unmatched passenger and cargo space in its category. While both SUVs offer seating for up to eight passengers, the Traverse provides unmatched cargo space compared to the Toyota Highlander.
