Jay Hatfield Chevrolet – Trail-Ready Confidence for Neosho, MO Families — A Closer Look at the 2026 Chevrolet Traverse Z71

When your weekly routine includes school drop-offs, grocery runs, and weekend escapes along gravel roads outside Neosho, MO, the 2026 Chevrolet Traverse Z71 stands out as the three-row SUV that keeps pace with your life. It pairs the practicality of a spacious cabin and best-in-class 98 cu. ft. of max cargo volume with trail-credible hardware, so you do not need a second vehicle when adventure calls. The turbocharged 2.5L engine and 8-speed automatic provide smooth, responsive power, while a standard 5,000-lb towing capacity with included trailering equipment is ready for utility trailers, small boats, or a pair of UTVs.

Chevrolet tuned the Z71 for comfort off the beaten path. An off-road suspension with frequency-based suspension dampers helps iron out washboard surfaces, and the Advanced Twin-Clutch AWD System actively shifts torque side-to-side across the rear axle to maintain momentum in low-traction conditions. With Hill Descent Control to manage steep grades and Terrain Mode to optimize throttle and traction mapping for loose surfaces, the Z71 is a confident partner on muddy trailheads or snowy driveways. Meanwhile, the cabin stays peaceful and tech-forward, anchored by the expansive 17.7-inch diagonal color touch-screen and 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center.

• Advanced Twin-Clutch AWD System: Sends torque where it is needed across the rear axle to help maintain traction on loose or uneven surfaces.
• Terrain Mode and Hill Descent Control: Provides low-speed control and tailored traction for gravel, mud, or steep grades.
• Off-road suspension and skid plate: Adds durability and composure when the pavement ends.
• 18-inch high-gloss Black machined-faced wheels with all-terrain tires: Delivers grip and a confident, purposeful stance.
• Chevy Safety Assist with over 20 standard features: Supports everyday confidence with driver assistance technologies.

The Z71’s technology suite elevates everyday convenience. Google built-in simplifies voice navigation, streaming, and on-the-go assistance. Available OnStar® services bring connected features, and available HD Surround Vision can help with visibility when maneuvering around tight trailhead parking or backing a utility trailer at dusk. Families will appreciate the Smart Slide Seats and flexible third row, making it easy for kids to climb in and out or to fold seats for bulky cargo. The AutoSense Power Liftgate recognizes your presence and opens without the usual foot-waving guesswork, a refreshing touch when your hands are full.

For commuters who also crave the outdoors, the 2026 Chevrolet Traverse Z71 balances composure, space, and capability in ways that crossovers with smaller dimensions struggle to match. And because it is a Traverse, you are not sacrificing the everyday niceties—quiet road manners, confident passing power, and the intuitive layout of the 17.7-inch diagonal display are part of the package. Jay Hatfield Chevrolet is serving Parsons, KS, Neosho, MO, and Columbus, KS, with a team that can help you tailor your Z71 with the right color, accessories, and must-have features for your routine.
