2026 Chevrolet Trax

The 2026 Trax is offered in a range of trims so you can tailor your SUV to your preferences and lifestyle. The LS delivers essential features like Chevy Safety Assist and Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™ connectivity. The LT adds comfort and convenience touches plus a larger infotainment display. Sportier trims such as 1RS and 2RS bring unique exterior accents, Black Bowtie emblems, and bold interior details. The ACTIV trim adds standout exterior styling with blacked-out elements and distinctive accents for a more rugged aesthetic. Across the lineup, each trim builds on core strengths with features geared toward versatility and style.

Under the hood, all 2026 Trax models are powered by a 1.2-liter turbocharged ECOTEC® inline-3 engine that produces 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque, paired with a smooth-shifting six-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain strikes a balance between responsive performance and everyday efficiency, making it well-suited to both city streets and highway cruising.

The Trax’s design emphasizes a comfortable and composed ride with efficient handling. Its compact footprint makes it adept at navigating tighter urban roads and parking in busy areas common across the northeast. Although it’s a front-wheel-drive vehicle, its suspension tuning provides a balanced ride quality. The responsive steering and thoughtful engineering help make every drive, whether to work, school, or weekend plans feel confident and controlled.

Inside, the 2026 Trax cabin is modern and connected. A large infotainment touchscreen anchors the dashboard with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ to keep you connected without clutter. Optional features like wireless charging, remote start, and a user-friendly climate control panel enhance convenience. The flexible cargo area and 60/40 split-folding rear seats make it simple to adapt space for passengers or gear, whether you’re heading to the Jersey Shore or running errands around town.

Safety is built in with the Chevy Safety Assist suite standard across all trims. This includes features like Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam® automatic high beams. Available upgrades such as Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Adaptive Cruise Control provide additional confidence when driving on highways or busy local roads.
