Don Johnson Motors Chevrolet – How the 2026 Chevrolet Trax Keeps Chetek, WI Drivers Connected

The newest Trax brings a right-sized footprint, flexible cabin, and thoughtful technology that mesh neatly with how people actually drive in and around Chetek. If you’re commuting along County M, picking up supplies before heading out near the lakes, or just slipping into a narrow downtown spot, the Trax keeps the process easy, calm, and connected. It’s a small SUV that punches above its size with useful features you’ll touch every day, not just brochure buzzwords.

Tech that simplifies every drive

What makes the Trax’s technology stand out is how it clarifies your drive rather than complicating it. The available 11-inch center HD touch-screen places key functions in a large, high-contrast interface that’s simple to read at a glance. Standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™ streamline your routine—no cables to manage, no clutter, just hop in and go. If you keep passengers connected on weekend treks, the available built-in Wi-Fi® hotspot is ready to help. And when cords do stay in your bag, available wireless charging quietly keeps your phone topped up while you focus on the road.

Audio, navigation, and driver information are neatly organized, with an available 8-inch diagonal color Driver Information Center to keep directions, media, and safety alerts in your line of sight. The result is a cabin that lowers stress: fewer taps, clearer menus, and purposeful placement of the controls you use most. It’s the kind of tech that feels immediately familiar—even on the first test drive.

Sized right for small-town versatility

Chetek-area errands and weekend plans can take you from tight parking near shops to winding, tree-lined roads. The Trax’s compact footprint and tidy turning circle make it a breeze to nudge into parallel spaces or quickly pivot into angled driveways. Yet it still offers generous interior utility, with seating for five, a 60/40 split-folding rear seat, and up to 54 cu. ft. of max cargo space when you need the room. That means you can load fishing gear, a couple of totes, or a folded stroller without needing to upsize your SUV.

What about ride quality? The suspension calibration prioritizes comfort, and Active Noise Cancellation helps hush road noise so conversations and playlists come through clearly. It’s also easy to park and see out of, thanks to the Trax’s well-judged proportions and a Rear Vision Camera that’s designed to assist with close-quarters maneuvering. StabiliTrak electronic stability control with traction control is standard, adding a layer of confidence when pavement or weather conditions vary.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Does the Trax have the smartphone features I need?

Yes. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™ are standard, making it simple to bring your favorite apps, messages, and playlists into the cabin without cords. An available 11-inch center HD touch-screen and available wireless charging complete a low-clutter, high-clarity setup.

Is the Trax big enough for family errands and weekend gear?

Absolutely. With seating for five, a 60/40 split-folding rear seat, and up to 54 cu. ft. of max cargo space, the Trax is engineered to handle everyday family needs while staying easy to park and maneuver around town.

What safety features come standard?

Every Trax includes Chevy Safety Assist with Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam® High Beam Assist. Available features like Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Adaptive Cruise Control can add further confidence.

How does the Trax perform on local roads?

Its compact size, responsive steering, and stable Front-Wheel Drive make it great for neighborhood streets, county roads, and quick highway merges. The ECOTEC® 1.2L Turbo engine focuses on usable torque where you spend most of your time—off the line and during everyday passing.

Which Trax trim should I choose?

It depends on your style and must-have features. ACTIV offers Titanium chrome exterior accents and a distinctive interior, while RS trims add sporty cues like Black exterior details and Red interior accents. LT and 1RS balance comfort with a clean, modern look. We recommend identifying your key priorities—appearance, tech, or added convenience—then matching them to the trim that fits.

How to pick your Trax with confidence

  1. Decide on your look: ACTIV’s bold accents or RS’s sporty vibe, with LT and 1RS providing versatile alternatives.
  2. Prioritize tech: If you want the largest display and fewer cables, look for the available 11-inch touch-screen and wireless charging.
  3. Consider your routes: If you do a lot of parking in snug spaces, the Trax’s compact footprint is already a win—add available features like Adaptive Cruise Control for longer drives.
  4. Think cargo needs: Confirm that the split-fold rear seat and generous max space match your gear and family routines.
  5. Test the feel: A local test drive helps you gauge visibility, steering weight, and ride comfort on your usual roads.
