Pick your Traverse trim first, then price one in Estero
Pick the trim before you price the vehicle, because the trim sets your seating and your MSRP. Chevrolet’s 2026 figures put the LT at $40,800, the Z71 at $48,900, the High Country at $55,100 and the RS at $55,400. The LT is the only trim listed with up to eight seats, using the available second-row bench, while the Z71, High Country and RS each seat seven.
For fuel economy, the EPA certified figures for the 2026 Traverse are 20 city, 24 highway and 21 combined with all-wheel drive.
What does each current Chevrolet Traverse trim cost and include?
Each 2026 Traverse trim carries its own price, so the trim you choose decides your starting cost. Behind the second row, Chevrolet’s published figures show 56.6 cubic feet of cargo room. Behind the third row, it shows 22.9 cubic feet, and the maximum is 98 cubic feet.
We offer certified used vehicles under Chevrolet’s CarBravo program.
You can order home delivery as a step, after you apply for credit, value your trade and estimate payments online.
How do you get your trade-in value before visiting Group 1 Chevrolet Estero Bay?
Use our online trade tool, What’s My Trade Worth?, before you visit. A license plate or VIN returns an instant price, while the year, make and model option returns an estimate based on historical data that could change.
Use the plate or VIN lookup when you have the vehicle in front of you. Use the year, make and model option when you only know the basics. Either way, write the figure down and bring it to the lot, so the trade conversation starts from a number you already have.
How do most buyers pay for a new vehicle like the Traverse?
Most buyers finance. Experian reported that more than 80 percent of new car buyers financed their purchases in Q3 2025, compared with roughly 35 percent of used car buyers (Experian, 2025). That makes the way you pay as important as the price.
In an August 2026 Google review, Brian A. wrote: “Lou was the best!!! Great price, no games, no hidden sneaky charges. Up front and honest through the entire process. We worked the deal completely remote from Miami and everything was handled professionally, great communication, and ready when we arrived. Lou even sent me pictures of it coming off the truck like a new baby being born, lol. Would recommend over and over!!!” Brian’s deal was done remotely from Miami, which is one buyer’s account of one visit.
What goes into the out-the-door price of a Traverse in Estero, FL?
The out-the-door price is the vehicle price plus Florida’s sales tax, the Lee County surtax, title and registration fees and the dealer’s documentation fee. Florida charges 6% state sales and use tax on a vehicle’s sales price, plus any county surtax, and the surtax applies only to the first $5,000 of the purchase price (Florida Department of Revenue, 2026). Lee County’s discretionary surtax is 0.5% (Florida Department of Revenue, 2025).
For a new vehicle on a manufacturer’s certificate of origin, the title fee is $77.25 for an electronic title, $79.75 for a paper title and $87.25 for a fast title (Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, 2026). Florida sets no dollar cap on the documentary or predelivery service fee, but a dealer may not charge for predelivery service unless it is printed as a line item on all documents (Florida Statutes, 2026).
Across 120 one- and two-star Google reviews of four rival dealers in this market, 13 complain about pricing, hidden fees, add-ons or a charge not agreed to. Use that as a checklist. Ask for every line before you agree to a number.

Jorge was extremely helpful in answering all my questions during the test drive. Sean fought to get me the trunk. I was looking for at the best possible deal. Will in finance knocked it out of the park with his personal touch in closing the deal thank you Estero Bay Chevrolet. We love our 2026 Silverado 2500 HD.” Richard’s account runs from sales through finance, and it is one customer’s experience.
How do you check one exact Chevrolet Traverse before you sign?
Before you sign, confirm the exact vehicle: its trim, its seating, its drive type and its VIN on the paperwork. Match those details against the trim figures you already have. Check the second- and third-row layout on that exact vehicle too, because the seating figures apply to the trim rather than to a single unit.
In an April 2026 Google review, Greg H. wrote: “I was looking for a certain trade # and they exceeded it. Great job Alvaro.” Greg’s account is about the trade figure, one customer’s experience.

Frequently asked questions
Can you buy a certified pre-owned Traverse in Estero?
We sell certified pre-owned vehicles, and our certified used vehicles are offered under Chevrolet’s CarBravo program. The used and certified details are covered in the trim section, so ask us about the certified inventory when you call.
How do you compare Traverse quotes from different Chevrolet dealers?
Compare the out-the-door totals line by line, not the sticker price. Start with the state and county taxes and the title fee, then check the documentation fee, which must appear as a printed line item. A missing line is a question to ask before you agree to any number.

Chevrolet’s published 2026 Traverse figures give a basic warranty of 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. Confirm the terms on the exact vehicle’s paperwork.

With the available Trailering Package (V92) and the 2.5L Turbo four-cylinder, Chevrolet’s published 2026 figures give a maximum towing rating of 5,000 pounds for both all-wheel drive and front-wheel drive.
