What's New for 2026?
The 2026 model carries forward the comprehensive updates introduced during the previous model year rather than receiving another major redesign. Chevrolet continues to refine the features that elevated this generation, focusing on improved comfort, technology, and everyday capability.
The premium cabin retains its upgraded materials, larger digital displays, and enhanced convenience features, creating a more refined experience for both drivers and passengers. The available 3.0-litre Duramax® Turbo-Diesel engine also continues with its increased output of 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque, offering an ideal blend of towing capability and highway efficiency.
For Ontario drivers, these enhancements make this full-size SUV an excellent choice for families seeking premium comfort alongside impressive capability.
Bold Exterior Design With Commanding Presence
The exterior showcases bold styling with a confident stance, sculpted body lines, and updated design elements that enhance its modern appearance. A redesigned front fascia, signature LED lighting, and a distinctive grille help create a refined yet rugged look that suits both city streets and weekend adventures.
Depending on the trim level, available equipment includes 24-inch aluminum wheels, a hands-free power liftgate, power-retractable assist steps, and a panoramic sunroof. The Z71 trim introduces rugged off-road styling and enhanced trail capability, while the RST model delivers a sportier appearance with distinctive exterior accents. Its substantial dimensions also contribute to excellent highway stability and a commanding driving position.
Spacious Interior Designed for Families
The cabin provides generous accommodations for up to eight passengers, making it ideal for growing families and long-distance travel. Thanks to the independent rear suspension, passengers in the third row benefit from increased comfort while overall ride quality is noticeably improved.
Cargo versatility remains one of its greatest strengths.

Powerful Performance With Outstanding Towing Capability
Drivers can choose from three capable engine options to suit different driving needs. The standard 5.3-litre EcoTec3 V8 generates 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, providing dependable everyday performance with confident acceleration.
Those seeking additional power can opt for the 6.2-litre EcoTec3 V8, producing 433 horsepower and 467 lb-ft of torque for stronger performance and increased towing confidence.
