City Chevrolet Of Grayslake – How Super Cruise® and Twin-Clutch AWD Make the 2026 Chevrolet Traverse Feel Effortless around Round Lake Beach, IL

Families around the Chain O’Lakes juggle school runs, commuting, and outdoor weekends. That is where the 2026 Chevrolet Traverse stands out—by blending easygoing manners in town with confidence on variable Midwest roads. Two features represent the spirit of this SUV particularly well: available Super Cruise® hands-free driver assistance technology and the Z71 model’s Advanced Twin-Clutch AWD System. Together, they bring a sense of calm to the chaos of modern driving—reducing busywork on long stretches of compatible highway and sharpening traction when rain, snow, or gravel cuts grip. The result is a midsize SUV that is as capable on a winter morning as it is convenient on a summer vacation.

Super Cruise® pairs a robust suite of sensors with precise mapping of hundreds of thousands of miles of compatible roads in the U.S. and Canada. On eligible routes, the system can enable hands-free driving and help manage lane centering, so you can relax your shoulders while remaining alert and responsible. Meanwhile, the Traverse’s interior keeps information clear with a standard 17.7-inch diagonal color touch-screen and an 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center, both of which display guidance cleanly. Add Google built-in and you can navigate with Google Maps, use Google Assistant to adjust settings, or download apps via Google Play. If family connectivity is a must, available OnStar® services offer an in-vehicle Wi-Fi Hotspot, in-vehicle apps, and Safety Services to keep everyone linked.

On the other side of the driving equation is grip. The Z71’s Advanced Twin-Clutch AWD System can actively apportion torque across the rear axle, sending power to the wheel with the most traction before slip takes over. That is a meaningful advantage on packed snow, wet leaves, or rutted driveways. Hill Descent Control helps maintain a steady pace on steep, slippery declines, and Terrain Mode reshapes throttle, shifting, and traction logic for low-grip surfaces. Frequency-based suspension dampers help the Traverse remain settled on broken pavement without losing the composure that builds confidence on the highway. The beauty of this setup is that you do not need to be an expert to benefit—just twist a dial and go.

City Chevrolet Of Grayslake offers trims that match how you live: LT for smart value, Z71 for capability, RS for bold street style, and High Country for premium comfort. The AutoSense Power Liftgate makes loading easier when your hands are full, and flexible seating—including available One-Touch Fold second-row seats and power-folding second- and third-row seating—helps you shift from passengers to cargo without slowing down. For busy households, these are the details that matter most, because they save time every single day.

To help you decide whether Super Cruise® and Twin-Clutch AWD fit your routine, here is a quick guide to where each shines.

  • Daily commuting with long freeway stretches: Super Cruise® can reduce driver fatigue on compatible roads by assisting with hands-free lane centering.
  • Winter-weather errands and school drop-offs: The Advanced Twin-Clutch AWD System actively shifts torque to the wheel with grip to help maintain momentum.
  • Weekend getaways with mixed terrain: Terrain Mode and Hill Descent Control lend confident control on gravel pull-offs, muddy campsites, or boat ramps.
  • Family road trips with heavy loading: The robust chassis, frequency-based dampers, and precise steering help keep the ride composed and calm.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Does Super Cruise® work on every road?

Super Cruise® is designed for use on compatible roads in the U.S. and Canada. The system requires attentive driving at all times and is not a substitute for safe operation.

How does the Advanced Twin-Clutch AWD System differ from conventional AWD?

Instead of sending power evenly or front-to-back only, the system can move torque side-to-side across the rear axle, proactively enhancing traction at the wheel with grip.

Which trims include Super Cruise® and power-folding seats?

Super Cruise® is included with the Enhanced Driving Package, standard on RS and High Country. Those trims also add One-Touch Fold second-row seats and power-folding second- and third-row seating.

Is the 17.7-inch diagonal display standard across the lineup?

Yes. Every 2026 Traverse includes the 17.7-inch diagonal color touch-screen, plus an 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center for a modern, cohesive cockpit.
