2026 Chevrolet Trax

LS establishes the lineup with LED exterior lighting, Chevy Safety Assist, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and a contemporary digital cockpit. Its straightforward interior design emphasizes functionality, providing essential connectivity and driver-assistance technology without unnecessary complexity. 1RS introduces athletic styling through RS badging, distinctive exterior accents, and 18-inch machined two-tone aluminum wheels. Red interior detailing reinforces its sporting character, distinguishing this configuration from LS while retaining the same passenger accommodations and cargo versatility. LT advances comfort with remote start, automatic climate control, upgraded cabin materials, and additional convenience equipment. Its enhanced interior appointments create a more accommodating environment for longer journeys, particularly during Minnesota's colder months. 2RS develops the performance-inspired appearance with larger 19-inch machined aluminum wheels, assertive exterior styling, and distinctive RS design elements. Coordinated interior accents complement its expressive exterior, creating one of the lineup's most visually distinctive configurations. ACTIV introduces rugged-inspired styling with titanium chrome exterior accents and exclusive trim details. Its distinctive finishes provide a more adventurous interpretation of the Trax's contemporary design, combining expressive styling with compact proportions and a versatile interior.

Every 2026 Trax features a turbocharged 1.2L 3-cylinder engine producing 137 hp and 162 lbs. ft. of torque. A 6-speed automatic transmission delivers power exclusively to the front wheels, providing smooth acceleration and consistent response. The powertrain achieves an EPA-estimated 30 mpg combined, supporting efficient operation on local roads and longer highway journeys. FWD remains standard throughout the lineup, with no AWD configuration available.

The Trax emphasizes maneuverability, responsive steering, and predictable road manners. Its compact exterior dimensions simplify parking and navigation through Chaska's streets and surrounding communities, while favorable outward visibility contributes to driver confidence. Its FWD architecture supports efficient performance and straightforward operation, making the Trax particularly well suited to paved-road travel throughout the Twin Cities region.

The Trax accommodates 5 passengers in a thoughtfully organized two-row cabin. Folding the rear seats expands cargo capacity to 54.1 cu. ft., providing substantial room for luggage, groceries, recreational equipment, and larger belongings. Its efficient packaging delivers flexibility without the exterior dimensions of a larger SUV. RS configurations introduce red interior accents and sport-inspired detailing, while ACTIV features exclusive finishes that complement its distinctive exterior. LT and higher trims offer upgraded materials and additional convenience equipment, enhancing comfort while preserving the Trax's practical arrangement.

An available 11-inch Chevrolet Infotainment touchscreen pairs with an 8-inch Driver Information Center, creating a modern digital interface for entertainment, connectivity, and vehicle information. Standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility integrate compatible smartphones without cables. Available wireless phone charging adds convenience, while an available built-in Wi-Fi hotspot supports connected devices during longer journeys.

Standard Chevy Safety Assist includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam® automatic high beams. These technologies assist with surrounding traffic, lane positioning, and nighttime visibility. Available Adaptive Cruise Control helps maintain a selected following distance during highway travel, while Rear Cross Traffic Alert provides additional awareness when reversing from parking spaces or driveways.
