Here in South Florida, we know a perfect family day when we see one. It usually involves sunshine, plenty of space to run around, and a way to beat the heat. For families all over Pembroke Pines, Hollywood, and Miami, that perfect day often happens at C.B. Smith Park. From the sprawling Paradise Cove Water Park to the serene fishing lakes and shaded picnic spots, it’s our go-to local getaway. But before you can stake out your spot by the lazy river, you face the ultimate challenge: packing.
That’s where the all-new 2026 Chevrolet Traverse comes in. This isn’t just an SUV; it’s your family’s mobile command center for every South Florida adventure. Here at AutoNation Chevrolet Pembroke Pines, right on Pines Boulevard, we know what local families need, and the redesigned Traverse delivers in every way imaginable. Let’s pack it up for a day at the park.
Best-in-Class Cargo for Coolers, Floaties, and More
First things first: the gear. A trip to C.B. Smith Park isn’t a light-packing affair. You’ve got the giant cooler, camp chairs, a pop-up canopy for guaranteed shade, towels for everyone, a bag of floaties for the water park, maybe even the kids’ bikes for the trails. In a lesser vehicle, this would mean a frustrating game of cargo Tetris.
In the 2026 Traverse, it’s a breeze. With a best-in-class max cargo volume of 98 cubic feet, you can fit it all and still have room to spare. The flexible seating for up to eight passengers means you can configure the space exactly how you need it. Fold down the third row for massive storage, or keep it up and still have plenty of room in the back for the essentials. Plus, with the available Smart Sense Liftgate, you can open the back with a simple wave of your foot—a lifesaver when your hands are full of beach bags and snacks.
An Interior Oasis from the Florida Heat
The drive to the park, whether you’re coming from Fort Lauderdale or right here in Pembroke Pines, should be part of the fun, not a sweaty, stressful chore. The 2026 Traverse transforms the cabin into a cool, comfortable oasis. The available tri-zone automatic climate control lets the driver, front passenger, and rear passengers all set their own temperatures. No more arguments about it being too cold up front and too hot in the back!
And for keeping everyone entertained? The Traverse is a technological marvel. The stunning, standard 17.7-inch-diagonal color touchscreen is the centerpiece, offering seamless connectivity for your music and navigation. With Wi-Fi hotspot capability, the kids in the back can stream their favorite shows on their tablets, making even a short drive down I-75 feel like a first-class experience. And with an available panoramic sunroof, you can let that famous Florida sunshine in (or close the shade when it gets too intense).
Power and Safety for Peace of Mind
Navigating South Florida traffic requires a vehicle that’s both powerful and safe. The 2026 Traverse is equipped with a new 2.5L turbocharged engine, delivering robust acceleration for merging onto the turnpike while maintaining impressive efficiency for your daily drives around town.
More importantly, every single 2026 Traverse comes standard with Chevy Safety Assist. This suite of six advanced safety and driver-assistance features includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and Forward Collision Alert. It’s an extra set of eyes on the road, giving you the confidence and peace of mind you need when your most precious cargo is on board. Before you head out on your next big family trip, make sure your current ride is in top shape by scheduling a service appointment with our expert technicians.

The 2025 Chevy Malibu is a practical, highly efficient car with smooth acceleration and a great deal of cabin and cargo space for its size. Let’s go over ten standout features of this popular midsize sedan.
Teen Driver Support
For any parent, it can be nerve-wracking when a teenage son or daughter starts driving. The Malibu’s teen driver support feature reduces this worry with performance report cards, stereo muting until seatbelts are on, and automatically activated safety features, which the Malibu has in abundance.
60/40 Split-Folding Rear Seat
The rear bench seat has 60/40 split-folding functionality. You can fold down one side or both at once, which extends the already ample 15.7-cubic feet of cargo space if you ever need to carry bulkier sports equipment or camping gear.
Excellent Gas Mileage
The Malibu’s drivetrain has been refined over several decades to become one of the most fuel-efficient vehicles in the midsize sedan segment. You’ll get 36 MPG on the highway and 28 MPG in the city, for an excellent average MPG of 31.
Advanced Safety Systems
Family drivers appreciate how safe the 2025 Malibu is. Standard features include automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert, and front pedestrian braking. You also have a rear vision camera and rear park assist to prevent dings in the parking lot, plus an automatic tire pressure monitoring system.
Continuous Variable Transmission
Accelerating feels very smooth in the Malibu, thanks to a continuous variable transmission paired with a 1.5L Turbo 4-cylinder engine. The engine’s 184 lb-ft of torque and 163 horses are delivered seamlessly to the wheels as you speed up, without the jerkiness of gear changes.
Electronic Traction Control
Standard electronic StabiliTrak with traction control automatically stabilizes your Malibu and prevents wheel spin with micro-adjustments to torque and brake force. This is especially useful during Florida’s rainy season when the roads are wet.
Spacious Front Foot Wells
The Malibu has impressive legroom for a midsize sedan. In the front row, you have 41.5 inches in which to stretch your legs. The rear footwells and overall cabin space and headroom are also generous.
Sporty Back-Sloping Roofline
With the 2025 Malibu, you have a distinctively stylish car sitting in your driveway. The striking front grille and back-sloping roofline give it a confident, sporty aesthetic.
Downhill Engine Braking
When you’re driving down a slope, your brakes will be spared by the Malibu’s electronic grade braking. This feature automatically shifts to lower gears and uses engine braking to keep the speed steady.
