  3. Fuel cost: an estimate — 15,000 km a year at 11.1 L/100 km, priced at C$1.738 per litre, Statistics Canada's Canada-wide average for regular unleaded at self-service stations, August 2026 (Table 18-10-0001-01).

  6. Recall campaigns: NHTSA's count for this nameplate (TRAVERSE ICE), as of 2026-09-10 — a US register. Each is repaired free of charge by dealers.↩
  7. Complaints: NHTSA holds 24 for the 2026 Traverse, 3 of which describe a crash, fire, injury or death. The rate per 10,000 built is not computed: not published in this market-year — complaint_rate: no row in this market-year carries it from a source that measures it (0/372).↩
  8. Kerb weight: the crash-tested vehicle (NHTSA NCAP), 2,127 kg (4,690 lb); corroborated by the EPA test weight.↩
  9. EPA test weight: 2,268 kg (5,000 lb) is the equivalent test weight class EPA tested this configuration at, not the kerb weight.↩

  12. This car is measured on the petrol scale: litres per 100 km, the tailpipe CO₂ rating and whole-car horsepower. MPGe and charge-weighted CO₂ are electric-scale quantities and do not apply to it.↩
  13. Price: no free, resellable source publishes a price for any 2026 car sold in Canada, so none is shown for any car in this market.↩
